*** Going further, Donald and Della have almost complete opposite approaches to the children during adventures, leading to her episodes having an opposite flow from his. Donald is very protective and dislikes the idea of the kids going on adventures, but knows them well enough to trust them to take care of themselves a dangerous spot. Della, meanwhile, loves the ''idea'' of taking the kids on adventures, but is petrified of losing them and becomes even more fearful and overprotective than Donald is when danger strikes. This comes to a head when both of them lead the kids together in Moonvasion: Donald - the responsible one - is ready to help the kids make a crazy plan, while Della - the impulsive one - wants to hide everyone forever on a deserted island.

* {{Forgiveness}}: Della outright told Louie in ''Timephoon!'' that his quick rick scheme nearly cost their family and punished him for his actions. After he went to his room, Della got a hold of herself and hoped that she wasn't too harsh with Louie. In the next episode, Della forgives Louie when he sees his effort in helping Scrooge and hearing that he was truly sorry for his actions.

* StrongFamilyResemblance: Della greatly resembles a younger version of her Aunt Matilda. [[spoiler: She also looked identical to her cousin Webby as a child.]]

* IHaveNoSon: [[PlayedForLaughs Played for laughs]]. Her irrational fear of fish sees her immediately disown Dewey (and the rest of the [=McDuck=] family for good measure) after he shows her his new mermaid fish tail (Though it obviously doesn't last more than five seconds).

* IHaveNoSon: [[PlayedForLaughs Played for laughs]]. Her irrational fear of fish sees her immediately disown Dewey (and the rest of the [=McDuck=] family for good measure) after he shows her his new mermaid fish tail.

* CatchPhrase: She has a tendency to say "Nothing can stop Della Duck!" before rushing into something potentially foolish. Like her brother, she also regularly says "[[SharePhrase Aw, phooey]]" whenever her bad luck gets her in a poor situation.

* BarefootCartoonAnimal: Her original incarnation [[TheOneWhoWearsShoes wears shoes]], while in here, she is barefoot just like her brother. However, she wears pants, unlike [[HalfDressedCartoonAnimal the rest of her family]].

* SanitySlippage: Time on the moon did NOT bode well for her sanity, and she kept losing it the more she failed. Unfortunately, it has become chronic; certain things trigger it like mirrors, because Della found herself talking in a mirror while she was stranded on the moon until she couldn't take it anymore and wanted contact with real people. And then when she gets stranded on a deserted island, she starts regressing back to her lack of sanity due to being a similar situation when she crash-landed on the moon.

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: While the entire episode is devoted to showing off her character, the first three or so minutes of "What Ever Happened To Della Duck?!" do a good job of summing up the key points of her personality. She's reckless (taking the Spear of Selene for a joyride), a skilled pilot (landing the Spear on the lunar surface in more or less one piece without any power), determined (cutting off her leg to escape the wreckage with only a minor complaint), resourceful (building a prosthetic from scraps), family oriented (stating her intentions to get home to her children), and boundlessly optimistic (showing of her "cool robot leg" to the camera without the slightest hint of trauma).

* AscendedExtra: She is ''never'' mentioned in the original show or any other animation [[note]]aside from the letter signed "Dumbella" which introduced Huey, Dewey, and Louie in [[WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck ''Donald's Nephews'' (1938)]] [[/note]], and appeared so sparingly in the comics that, prior to ''[=DuckTales 2017=]'', the only character in the Duck Universe that we knew even less about was the triplets' father (whom we [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ChasteToonsImage_8562.jpg don't even have a name for]]). This series makes her a fully fleshed-out character with a central role in the plot, and as of the second half of Season 2, she's effectively part of the main cast. At eighty years, Della may hold the record for how long she she was in the background before moving into the spotlight.

* AmbiguousDisorder: Her impulsiveness, easily bored nature and instances of [[FailedASpotCheck not noticing things in front of her]] can easily be viewed as this.

* NiceHat: Any pictures of her showed she always wore an aviator's hat and goggles.

* BigEater: [[JustifiedTrope After about a decade of only being able to subside on]] [[DoesNotLikeSpam black liquorice flavored gum]], she wolfs down everything at her reunion feast. She even stops Beakley from taking her plate because there's a still a pea on it.

* CharacterDevelopment: Slowly undergoes this in Season 2. In "Raiders of the Doomsday Vault!", despite Scrooge rightly calling her out on her StaticCharacter status, Della proves that even though she's still reckless, she at least has backup plans and exit strategies when she jumps into danger, since being stuck on the moon for a decade has forced her to keep an eye on all the exits. Throughout Season 2, she also acts as a CoolBigSis at best, PushoverParents at worst to her kids, but undergoing parental worries in "Timephoon!", with Mrs. Beakley's help she learns to call her kids out when they behave too recklessly and give ToughLove when necessary.
