In a much later episode, her parents assemble her a playset she had been begging them for, but after having so much fun with the box it came in she suddenly doesn't want to play on the actual set, not even managing a 'thank you' to them before they walk off.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: In "My Club Rules", when Arthur and his friends are in the treehouse discussing ideas for their parade float, D.W. barges in, wanting to hang out with them. Arthur, desperate to get rid of her, lies and says it's a "meeting" of the "Parade Float Club". D.W. immediately says she wants to "join". They have D.W. undergo "initiation rituals", such as kicking a bowling ball (which she refuses to do) and drawing a funny picture of Mr. Ratburn. They're so distracted from talking about the float that they're actually focused on making it a real club. A little while later, Muffy makes some snobby comments about how improvements can be made to Arthur's treehouse so it looks like a real clubhouse, and how club dues should be paid in order to implement the improvements. This leads to a fight amongst Arthur and his friends, causing them to form their own separate "clubs". They make up a few days later, of course, but still. It could be argued that if D.W. wouldn't have barged in to begin with, the argument wouldn't have happened and they'd still be discussing float ideas.

* AmbiguousDisorder: D.W. can be a brat even by the standards of someone her age, is [[WiseBeyondTheirYears very smart for a four-year-old]] and can sometimes be [[ManipulativeBitch manipulative]], but does show the typical naivety of her age at times, and is capable of caring about her friends and family when it really matters. She also tends to have short-lived obsessions with very specific things, such as her current ones, ''Mary Moo Cow'' and "Crazy Bus". The fact that the other characters often call her and the things she does "weird" doesn't help either.
