Ducks
Elvira "Grandma" Duck
Debut: Grandma Duck gag (1943)
Voiced by: June Foray, Russi Taylor (Sport Goofy in Soccermania)
Born Elvira Coot, she is Casey's sister, Humperdink's wife, Donald, Fethry and Gladstone's grandmother and Huey, Dewey and Louie's great-grandmother. She lives at a farm outside Duckburg with her gluttonous, incredibly lazy farmhand Gus Goose, Casey's grandson, and is renowned for her pie-baking skills. She is the granddaughter of the founder of Duckburg, Cornelius Coot.
- Adaptation Name Change: Before Don Rosa solidated Grandma's name as "Elvira", an alternative was "Abigail" as mentioned in a 1953 "Grandma Duck" comic and in "Ridin' the Rails".
- Beware the Nice Ones: She is the kindest, most reasonable, and most generous member of the Duck family, but don't think for a moment that this means you can walk all over her; if provoked enough she'll show you exactly how tough an elderly lady who runs a farm almost by herself has to be. The fact that she is the only Duck family member who can make Scrooge back down with no effort whatsoever, really says everything.
- In one Italian story, Donald finds a diary from her younger years, modifies it a bit, and publishes it as a novel (in his own name). Grandma tells him exactly what she thinks of him, after sharing some of her most private moments with the world.
- Characterization Marches On: In her early appearances in Al Taliaferro's newspaper strips, she comes off as somewhat senile and more comically old-fashioned and conservative than she has become since.
- Several 1950s stories feature Grandma shunning "modern" inventions such as electricity, running water, and television. She also refuses to replace her car with something more modern. The car in question is a Detroit Electric from the 1910s (an electric automobile, running on a rechargeable lead acid battery).
- Depending on the Writer: According to Don Rosa, she is Donald's paternal grandmother and therefore not related to Scrooge at all, but before that, in European comics, it was widely accepted that she was Scrooge's sister and actually Donald's aunt — and Huey, Dewey and Louie's real grandmother. With the publication of the Duck family tree which shows her as Donald's grandmother, this has largely been forgotten.
- In part this was a problem in translation. In American stories, Scrooge and Grandma had different last names and no indication that they were related to each other (they also barely interacted in stories). Italian translations eliminated the name difference by naming Scrooge as "Paperone" and Grandma as "Nonna Papera", and some writers started writing stories with the assumption that they are siblings. Several other translations followed this example.
- Her affection for Donald differs in several stories. In the "Paperino Paperotto" subseries (featuring Donald's childhood and school years), Grandma was his sole legal guardian, he is her favorite grandson, and she genuinely adores him. In several other stories (including interactions with an adult Donald), she is strict with him, all too eager to point out his faults, and she even finds him annoying.
- How close her relationship is with other Duck family members, or their friends differs in stories. Several stories have her organizing family gatherings in her farm, and remaining in contact with almost everyone. Others have her interacting with her family on rare occasions. A number of older stories have Grandma striking an Intergenerational Friendship with Daisy and/or treating her as a surrogate granddaughter, but most recent ones mention no special bond between them.
- Cool Old Lady: While she can be strict, especially in early stories, she is also kind and loving... not to mention, she can be tough as nails when she needs to be.
- Dub Name Change: She's Anna in Norwegian comics.
- Hopeless with Tech: Her biggest Achilles' Heel; she can never figure out these "newfangled contraptions" that the city-dwellers take such pride in, and any attempt she makes to figure them out will lead to inevitable disaster. In many she is portrayed as distrusting and disliking modern tech and insisting on doing everything the old-fashioned way — and in all these stories it is repeatedly demonstrated that for her at least, the Good Old Ways work.
- Intergenerational Friendship: Good friends with Daisy, Emily Quackfaster, and Brigitta. The age difference with the latter is such Brigitta could be her daughter, and she's the oldest of the three.
- Land Poor: She owns a rather large farm-that is what remains of the Coot properties, that used to cover all of modern-day Duckburg and much of the nearby land before Scrooge started buying it to build the city.
- Morality Pet: Interestingly enough, to Scrooge. While he's not above exploiting her hospitality for what its worth, Grandma is one of very few people he'll always treat kindly. This might be because he knows exactly how tough she can be, or because he genuinely appreciates her kind nature... or a combination of both.
- Never Mess with Granny: There's a reason she runs a largish farm almost by herself: she's that tough, and has no qualm grabbing the shotgun when it comes to defend her property.
- Punny Name: In Norwegian, her name is sometimes Anna, a homophone for Anda, "the duck."
- Secret Secret-Keeper: At one point she stumbled on the fact her nephew Donald is the superhero Paperinik, and never told anyone.
- Supreme Chef: Her cooking is famous; even hard-boiled criminals have been known to break down and promise to be better people if they could have just one more taste.
- Team Mom: Well, Team Grandma, but the effect is the same.
- Workaholic: She loves doing chores at the farm. There have been stories where her workload is diminished either by Gus Goose shaping up or getting additional help, and the result is always that Grandma ends up driving herself crazy trying to come up with ways to fill her free time.
Humperdink "Grandpa" Duck
Husband of Elvira Coot, as well as Donald, Fethry and Gladstone's grandfather and Huey, Dewey and Louie's great-grandfather. He was a farmer in life, but has passed away of old age.
- Adaptation Name Change: "Humperdink" is the name given for Grandma's late husband in the 50s Grandma Duck comics. Don Rosa was not aware of this when he created the first version of the Duck family tree and gave the character another name, "Dabney". When he was informed, he changed the name to Humperdink to match prior canon. Both names have since entered use, although "Humperdink" is more popular.
- Happily Married: As early as the 50s Grandma Duck comics, it was established that Grandma has nothing but loving memories of her husband. One 1951 comic has her find his love letters in the attic while searching for stuff to sell and the apparent loss of the letters in the events following deeply upsets her. In another comic published that same year, Grandma is pressured into dressing up by her new maid and she picks a dress that reminds her of time spent with Humperdink.
- Lazy Bum: According to "The Good Old Daze", he had the nasty habit of forcing Donald to do all the chores when he was visiting. On top of that, he ate all the pies Grandma baked while Donald was at work, leaving nothing for his grandson.
- Posthumous Character: While not explicit, it's strongly implied that he's passed away, since he's not present in any modern comic, and his family rarely mention him.
Quackmore Duck
First appearance: "Carl Barks Duck Family Tree" (1950's/1981)Donald and Della Duck's father, Hortense's husband, and Grandma and Grandpa Duck's son, Quackmore first "appeared" as a simple name in a Duck family tree sketch made by Barks sometime in the 1950's, which was eventually illustrated in 1981. His first true appearance as a character was in "The Invader Of Fort Duckburg" in 1993.
- Amazon Chaser: He fell in love with Hortense while she was yelling at him in rage.
- Disappeared Dad: Like his wife Hortense, there is no record of exactly what happened to him, his last appearance being the disastrous family reunion at the end of "The Empire Builder from Calisota" where he and Hortense tried to introduce Scrooge to his niece and nephew. By the comics present, he's presumed long-dead.
- Generation Xerox: Don Rosa depicts him as looking virtually identical to his son, especially in his youth.
- Hair-Trigger Temper: A massive one, which was matched only by Hortense.
- Hidden Depths: Grew up as a simple farmer, but spent decades as a high-ranking worker for Scrooge.
- Important Haircut: When he reappears in "The Empire Builder of Calisota", he's begun neatly combing his head feathers as part of joining Scrooge's empire, which shows him shedding his Farm Boy past.
- Like Father, Like Son: He looks and behaves almost like his son Donald when he first meets his eventual wife Hortense.
- Obnoxious In-Laws: Scrooge never thought highly of his brother-in-law, even with the very limited panel time they shared, and it shows.
- Satellite Love Interest: Compared to Hortense, he has next to no personality aside from a Hair-Trigger Temper and possibly a good sense of business.
Della "Dumbella" Duck
Voiced by: Paget Brewster (DuckTales (2017))
Donald's twin sister, and mother of Huey, Dewey and Louie.
- Ace Pilot: According to "80 Jaar". It serves to make her a Foil to Donald being a sailor. Eventually, she became an astronaut, dropping the triplets with Donald when she went on a deep space mission. Her depiction in a painting in DuckTales (2017) also shows her wearing pilot gear.
- Alliterative Name: Della Duck.
- Always Identical Twins: Don Rosa made her Donald's twin. And basically Donald with blonde hair, down to the sailor suit.
- Ascended Extra: With a sprinkling of The Bus Came Back. For decades, Della went unseen, existing solely through the presence of her sons. Della's first steps into the spotlight occured in The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck in 1994, 57 years after first being mentioned (she was given an appearance a year prior in the family tree), and that spotlight was limited to her childhood years. In 2014, the Dutch branch of Disney comics was given permission to star Della as an adult for Donald's eightieth birthday as long as it didn't interfere with the status quo. This formed the inspiration for the 2017 series Donald's Eerste... (Donald's First...), which is the first time Della is featured as an equal to Donald. In addition, her absence in the Triplets' lives is now a key plot point for the 2017 reboot, which puts the series as her animated debut, and she later becomes a main character in the later half of its second season as well as the third and finale season.
- Brother–Sister Team: The Dutch series Donald's Eerste... details Donald's and Della's childhood.
- Cool Big Sis: She's his twin, but ahead of her brother in maturity. In "80 Jaar", Donald spares no words to convey how much he admires her.
- Determinator: From early childhood, Della wanted to be a pilot and knew that being a woman made her wish unconventional, but she set her mind to it anyway. She was good enough that at the age of 22 in 1958, she was picked to man an experimental rocket for a test flight...
- Gone to the Future: What happened according to "80 Jaar". Experimental rocket fuel sent Della buzzing at lightspeed through her deep space mission, which due to Time Dilation means that for Della just 5 minutes (of an intended 20) have passed, while who-knows-how-many-years went by on Earth. Thanks to Gyro, the nephews get a chance to contact her. She notes that they remind her of her infant sons and they haven't the heart to tell her they are them and that circumstances have made her miss out on years of their lives.
- In-Series Nickname: Dumbella is Della's nickname. In "Donald's Eerste Liedje", Della says she dislikes her name so to cheer her up Donald composes a song making fun of her name, his own name, and Gyro's name. Della likes it so much she takes the "Dumbella" part of the song as her nickname.
- Missing Mom: Don Rosa's thoughts on the matter are that you can't explain where Della is without being pointless; Donald (and Scrooge) are the triplets' father figures, no need to add the parents!.
- Parental Neglect: Leaving your prankster sons with your short-tempered brother can be seen as this. Even more in the comics, where Della's letter details that the "angels" had just hospitalized their father by blowing him with firecrackers.
- A Dutch comic though established that Della never meant to be gone for more than an hour, but because of the strange time effects going nearly the speed of light caused she thinks its only been 15 minutes since she left earth when in reality it has been years. Sadly by the time Della returns, her boys will be older than she is.
- Retcon: With elements of Related Differently in the Adaptation. In the comic "Donald's Nephews", the letter indicates that Della is Donald's cousin. In the short Donald's Nephews, released a year later, the letter indicates that Dumbella is Donald's sister. In general, Della has been taken as the character's name, Dumbella is her In-Series Nickname, and she is Donald's sister — twin sister ever since Don Rosa wrote about her.
- Riddle for the Ages: The identity of the father of her children. 80 years after first being mentioned, and he has never made an on-screen appearance, never been named, and his face is missing even from family trees depicting obscure relatives. A few writers (and fans) have toyed with the idea that he is Daisy Duck's brother, but nothing has been confirmed about him. In Carl Barks stories, Daisy has mentioned having an (unseen) sister, but mentions nothing about a brother. Since he's never brought up, it's quite possible that he was just a boyfriend that Della has since moved on from.
- Sibling Yin-Yang: In regards to their professions: Donald is a sailor (and possibly marine), Della is a pilot and/or astronaut.
???? Duck (Huey, Dewey and Louie’s father)
First appearance: "Donald's Nephews", 1937
The mysterious husband of Della Duck and father of Huey Dewey and Louey, this duck is by far one of the biggest unknowns in the entire Ducks universe. Mentioned exactly once in almost a century, everything about the man is a mystery, including his name and his appearance.
- Ambiguously Related: Don Rosa's theory is that he's related to Daisy, possibly her brother, which would explain how the triplets call her Aunt. He never put this in a story, however, so for now it remains Schrödinger's Canon.
- Disappeared Dad: Was last mentioned in a cartoon in 1937 and that's the all we know of him. Unlike Della, there's never been any sort of hint of what happened to him afterwards or why he never returned for his sons.
- The Faceless: His spot on the Don Rosa Duck Family tree is blocked off by branches and the bird standing on them. What little can be seen shows nothing but general indicators of a male duck with white feathers.
- Riddle for the Ages: Who is the nephews father? What's his name? What does he look like? The readers guess is as good as any.
- Uncertain Doom: His "appearance" in Donalds Nephews mentions that the triplets latest prank put him in the hospital, which is why they're staying with Donald. While this could imply that he outright died from his injuries, this would be pretty ghoulish even in more adult settings, much less friggin' Disney. Whatever happened to him, he hasn't been heard from since, even after Della's return.
Abner "Whitewater" Duck
Donald's cousin, Fethry's brother, and Douglas's nephew. He's a lumberjack and currently dating Donna Duck.
- All There in the Manual: The reveal that Fethry and Whitewater are brothers isn´t stated in an actual story but comes from Don Rosa's family tree. Probably he put it that way thanks to having to include the non-Barks-character Fethry as he's so puplar in Europe. In fact, the two brothers never did appear in a story together.
- Determinator: In "Log Jockey", Whitewater can't guide his logs down the river due to an injured foot and therefore can't strike up the bonus of being the first to arrive, so he volunteers Donald within two minutes of meeting him for the first time. In "Smarter Than The Toughies", he and Douglas lose every round of a sourdough competition against Donald and Scrooge who use their brains to make up for their lack in physical strength and skill. The two are nonetheless declared co-winners because "real sourdoughs never quit. Not even when they're outmatched." They take it in stride.Whitewater: "You mean we're winners because we're such big losers?"
- The Friends Who Never Hang: Family, in this case. Whitewater isn't very close with his family, which is reasonable, but there exist no stories in which he and Fethry both appear. The knowledge that they are brothers comes solely from family trees.
- Out of Focus: Out of various cousins of Donald who have appeared in comics, only Gus Goose, Gladstone Gander, and Fethry Duck have been developed into major characters who often star in their own stories. Whitewater has only had three story appearances so far (published between 1962 and 2012), and mostly appears in family trees. He has little to no characterization, and barely any interaction with other characters.
- Pair the Spares: In "Too Many Donalds", Whitewater forms a couple with Donna Duck, a former love interest of Donald as rarely written about as Whitewater is.
- Related in the Adaptation: It was not until "Smarter Than The Toughies" that Whitewater was identified as Douglas' nephew. And this doesn't really seem to fit into the earlier family trees which have him a full brother to Fethry.
- The Rival: He and his uncle Douglas were this to Donald and Scrooge in "Smarter Than The Toughies". Or more fairly considering who entered the contest first, vice versa.
Dugan Duck
The son of Fethry Duck's sister. He lives with his uncle and is close friends with Cintia, the girl living next door.
- Alternate Company Equivalent: So here is a duck boy who has been picked from the wilderness, all tropes like messy hair, high-energy, and friend included, to live with an uncle figure and who has a semi-romantic bond with the pig girl living next door. Sounds quite a bit like Bubba from DuckTales.
- Boy Next Door: To Cintia.
- The Dreaded: Due to the disasters he sets off, everyone who knows him is terrified, and being his babysitter for a day is considered more dangerous than being a professional stuntman.
- In one Italian story, Fethry forces Scrooge to babysit Dugan for a day. Every employee in the Money Bin runs away, typically overworked Emily Quackfaster announces a sudden decision to go on a vacation, and Magica informs Scrooge that she will stay away from the Money Bin as long as Dugan is there.
- Palette Swap: There are two canon colors for his feathers: regular white and yellow a la Gosalyn Mallard. White feathers are usual for Italian comics and yellow feathers are the preferred canon of Brazilian comics.
- Parental Abandonment: You'd think Fethry would tell his sister he found her lost son and for her to pick him up, but no. No details are spent on the identity of Dugan's father either.
- Please Put Some Clothes On: Dugan goes around naked for almost the entirety of "O Nascimento Do Biquinho" on account of being raised by porcupines. It is a little awkward when Fethry and Gloria get to meet him.
- Raised by Wolves: He sabotaged his own delivery by the stork and ended up in the jungle where he was raised by porcupines. This often results in him setting off disasters because he has no idea of what he is doing.
McDucks
Fergus McDuck
Scrooge McDuck's father.
- Good Parents: Fergus encouraged Scrooge to be self-reliant, but also made it clear to him that his love was unconditional and, no matter what his son did, he would be proud of him.
- Happily Married: To Downy O'Drake.
- Impoverished Patrician: Fergus was born in the old aristocratic McDuck family and had legal claim to Dismal Downs, the family castle. However he was born a few generations after his family lost most of their wealth. His father and mother were coal miners and Fergus himself spend most of his life as a mill worker.
- In-Series Nickname: "McPapa" in DuckTales (1987), "Scotty" McDuck on Barks' original Duck family tree.
- It Runs in the Family: "A Letter from Home" shows that he had solved the mystery of the Templars hidden beneath Castle McDuck and made it all the way to the final chamber, but due to not having access to the last clue (which not even the Junior Woodchuck's Guide contained), leaves a note for Scrooge there.
- Passed in Their Sleep: He passes quietly away from old age in his sleep on the same night his children leave for America.
- Posthumous Character: While he does occasionally show up due to Negative Continuity, it's usually agreed upon that Fergus has passed away by the modern day.
- So Proud of You: Offers this as parting words to his son Scrooge, when he explains that he won't be joining him and his sisters for their emigration to America, as he is simply too old to make the journey.Fergus: Scrooge, take your sisters to a new life in America! Ye're right — ye've ootgrown the life ah've known.
Scrooge: But—
Fergus: (smiles warmly) No arguin, lad! Joost promise me you'll always be true to yourself and know ah'll always be prood o' ya! - Spared by the Adaptation: The DuckTales-reboot shows that Fergus and Downy are not only still alive in this continuity, but also basically immortal.
- Strong Family Resemblance: He looks exactly like an older Scrooge. When Magica de Spell tries to travel back in time to steal Scrooge's #1 Dime, she mistook Fergus for Scrooge and tries to attack him.
- Together in Death: Downy comes back as a ghost to welcome Fergus to the afterlife when he dies in "The Billionaire Of Dismal Downs".
- Would Hit a Girl: Downplayed, but definitely there as shown in "Of Ducks And Dimes And Destinies":Magica de Spell: Back off, buster! You wouldn't dare to lay your hands on a lady!
Fergus: Oh, wouldn't I?
(cut to Fergus having grabbed Magica by the ankles and holding her upside down as he shakes the #1 Dime out of her pocket)
Magica de Spell: Of course, I could be wrong...
Downy O'Drake
Voiced by: June Foray (DuckTales (1987)), Ashley Jensen (DuckTales (2017))
Scrooge McDuck's mother.
- Good Parents: She was a dutiful, very temperate mother.
- Happily Married: To Fergus.
- In-Series Nickname: "McMama" in DuckTales (1987).
- I Was Quite the Looker: A lifetime of work and hardship had made Downy grey-haired and worn-out by the time Scrooge was ten years old. When her spirit greets her husband upon his own death, she looks decades younger, with her hair back to its original brown. In comparison, while Fergus also returns to his younger appearance, he looks the same as he did during Scrooge's childhood.
- Spared by the Adaptation: The DuckTales-reboot shows that Downy and Fergus not only are still alive in this continuity, but also basically immortal.
- Together in Death: She comes back as a ghost to welcome Fergus to the afterlife when he dies in "The Billionaire Of Dismal Downs".
Matilda McDuck
The oldest of Scrooge's two younger sisters. Don Rosa intended for her to be or have been married to Ludwig von Drake.
Voiced by: Michelle Gomez (DuckTales (2017))
- Beware the Nice Ones: She's the kindest and most sweet-natured of Scrooge's siblings, but she does have the same fiery temper of the family. Donald, in particular, is afraid of her because she'd frequently give him paddlings when he misbehaves.
- Big Brother Worship: Until Chapter 11 . When we meet her again as an old lady, she inverts this trope by insulting Scrooge at every turn. It returns though when they finally reconcile.
- Broken Pedestal: She looked up to her brother for most of her childhood and early adulthood. She has a massive falling out with Scrooge after his destruction of an African tribe. Their attempt at reconciliation fails 20 years later due to Scrooge at that point having become completely misanthropic. They finally made up in "A Letter from Home".
- In part it is what he says to her that causes the falling out in 1930. Scrooge hired Matilda as an employee in 1902, and she worked loyally for him for 28 years (1902-1930), taking care of the Money Bin and his business affairs during his 21 years of absence (1909-1930). When he returns, Scrooge accuses her of embezzling money from the company.
- Damsel in Distress: She's not nearly as physically capable as her siblings, and can't fight back against the Beagle Boys like Hortense and Scrooge can.
- The Heart: Between her, Hortense, and Scrooge, she has the same temper exception going as Della does. With Hortense's fate not being touched upon, Matilda may be the only one of Scrooge's family he has to reconcile with.
- I Was Quite a Looker: When Don Rosa depicts Matilda as a young woman, she is a slender and very attractive female Duck. When depicting her as an old woman, she has a somewhat thicker body, wrinkles surround her eyes, her blonde hair seems to have changed color, and her facial expressions tend to match her increasingly jaded outlook in life.
- No Badass to His Valet: She is one of the few people who can genuinely hurt Scrooge physically and verbally, even sending him to a Heroic BSoD.
- Tranquil Fury: Unlike every other McDuck, whenever she gets angry, it is this trope.
Hortense McDuck
Hortense with her husband, Quackmore.
Scrooge's youngest sister and Donald's and Della's mother.- Badass Adorable: Already as a little girl she was tough as nails, as a teenager she effortlessly chased and beat up fully grown men, and as a young adult she managed to chase away an entire army by chasing them with a broom.
- Belligerent Sexual Tension: Her interactions with Quackmore Duck, her eventual husband, mostly involve them screaming at each other, then immediately swooning at the other's temper.
- Fiery Redhead: She is usually drawn with red hair, and is prone to throwing temper tantrums.
- Girly Bruiser: Flirts with cowboys and loves Teddy Bears. Decks a Secret Service, a Rough Rider, and TR himself with a single punch.
- Like Father, Like Son: Donald inherited his temper from both his mother and father. Della inherited her mother's conviction that her gender would not be her limit.
- Love at First Punch: She fell for Quackmore after their temper clashed against each other.
- Missing Mom: Disappears along with Quackmore after the events of "The Empire Builder of Calisota", and there are no records of what happened to either of them.
- Stay in the Kitchen: Theodore Roosevelt (AKA the most badass president of all time) once told this to her. She knocked him out in one punch as a response.
- Unstoppable Rage: She's far more easily provoked than her brother.
- The Unintelligible: As a baby her only words were "glxblt".
- We Named the Monkey "Jack": Scrooge names his horse in America "Hortense" in honor of his sister because they both have a bad temper. Hortense is not amused.
Angus "Pothole" McDuck
First Appearance: The Great Steamboat Race, 1955 (Mentioned), Master Of the Mississippi, 1992 (In Person)
Scrooge's uncle, and the older brother of Fergus, Angus left Scotland sometime in the 1840's, hoping to find a better life in the United States, eventually finding work on the Mississippi river boats, where he earned the nickname "Pothole". After retiring, Angus found some success in writing dime novels and appearing in Wild West stage shows.
- Bad Boss: Only paid Scrooge and Ratchet 30 cents a day when they signed on for him. Adjusted for inflation, that's about 8$.
- Evil Former Friend: His rival Porker Hogg used to be his partner, until they had a massive falling out over an old plantation they bought after the Civil War. By the time Scrooge comes to America, the two despise each other.
- It Will Never Catch On: Has an idea for a new kind of dime novel where all the dialogue is printed in "little bubbles"; i.e comic books. Everyone he tries pitching it to think he's completely nuts, even Scrooge.
- Fake Ultimate Hero: Despite how much he played up himself in his writing, the few times he's called on for heroism in real life, he tends to fall flat.
- Her Codename Was Mary Sue: When Angus wrote about his adventures, he changed them to show himself as The Ace who took on entire armies of Beagle Boys by himself, while Scrooge was relegated to the Butt-Monkey comic relief.
- I Should Write a Book About This: After retiring in 1882, Angus moved on to writing... let's just say "embellished" stories about his adventures on the Mississippi for dime novels.
- Only Known by Their Nickname: He's only refered to as "Pothole" in The Great Steamboat Race. Don Rosa would be the one to give him a proper name.
- Sole Survivor: He was a cabin boy on the Drenann White, a riverboat that sank with all hands in 1850, leaving Angus as the only survivor, and the only person with the knowledge of where the remains of the ship, and the gold shipment onboard, is located.
- Suspiciously Similar Substitute: "Catfish" McDuck from Ducktales 1987.
Jake McDuck
First Appearance: A Christmas for Shacktown, 1952 (Photograph), Last Of The Clan McDuck, 1992 (In Person)
Fergus' younger brother and Scrooge's uncle, Jake originally appeared as a photograph in A Christmas for Shacktown by Carl Barks, which Donald used to disguise himself in an attempt to scam Scrooge for charity. Don Rosa would introduce Jake himself in the first chapter of The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck.
- Impoverished Patrician: A member of the once-wealthy McDuck clan, Jake eeked out a living working on the Glasgow docks.
- Satellite Character: His appearances can be summed up with "he existed" - he does virtually nothing of importance, and only appears alongside his brother so Fergus has someone to talk to. He doesn't even help fight the Whiskervilles during the events of The New Laird of Castle McDuck as he's busy taking Matilda and Hortense back to Glasgow.
- What Happened to the Mouse?: Disappears with no explanation between The Dream-Time Of the Duck Never-Never and The Billionaire Of Dismal Downs, and is never mentioned again, though considering how old Fergus is by this point, Jake has presumably passed on from old age.
Gideon McDuck
Scrooge's brother and the editor-in-chief of the County Conscience, the most credible newspaper in Duckburg, and a business rival to his older brother Scrooge and his newspaper, The Duckburg Chronicle. He is confirmed to be the son of Fergus and Downy, and the brother of Matilda and Hortense, as in the 2017 comic "Zio Paperone e Il Segreto di Cuoridpietra"
- Depending on the Artist: Exactly how much he resembles his more famous brother varies depending on who's drawing him. Romano Scarpa's original design, shown here, doesn't look too much like Scrooge, but in other appearances he looks exactly like Scrooge, just with wilder hair and a different outfit.
- Enraged by Idiocy: Used in a few 1990s stories focusing on Gideon. He is pissed off that the reading public in Duckburg is more interested in celebrity gossip than actual news, and that a singer dying his hair is considered more newsworthy than political events.
- Honest Corporate Executive: He places his morals about the importance of Information before anything else. And even though Scrooge himself never does anything dishonest, Gideon is so much about his morals and so much not about the money he could make with the newspaper, that he manages to unnerve Scrooge on unseen levels.
- Intergenerational Friendship: With Dickie Duck in some modern stories. She works as a reporter for "The Jiminy Cricket" and the two get along well. (Given that Dickie is Scrooge's surrogate granddaughter, he may be treating her as family.)
- The One Who Wears Shoes: In some modern appearances he, like Dickie, also wears pants.
- Remember the New Guy?: His first appearance treats him as a well-established member of the Duck cast. The fact that he is Scrooge's brother is just thrown away as though it was nothing special.
Rumpus McFowl
Scrooge's lazy, freeloading, overweight half-brother. Created and so far used exclusively by William Van Horn.
- Acrofatic: He's old and fat and lazy, but can really move when he wants to.
- Big Eater: Especially when it's other people's food he's eating.
- Expy: Of J. Wellington Wimpy from Popeye.
- Foil: Unlike Donald or Gus Goose who are also shown to be pretty lazy and with flaws, Rumpus doesn´t possess the sympathy and redeeming qualities of the two.
- Jerkass: He doesn't have very many redeeming qualities, and in fact seems determined to be as irritating and pushy as he possibly can be towards his poor relatives. Though in some stories he does seem to have a slightly soft spot for his half-brother Scrooge and gets a few minor Pet the Dog moments when he at least tries to get along with him.
- Karma Houdini: He tends to be this, even when it looks like it's going to be subverted; in fact, the two first stories he appeared both ended with him, after driving Donald and Scrooge insane, injuring himself and becoming bed-ridden for weeks... which meant that he got to happily lie about in Donald's bed while Donald had to wait on him hand and foot.
- Lazy Bum: A strange version; he energetically puts every bit of effort he can into being extremely lazy, and does it in such a way that he's as annoying as possible.
- The Load: Treated as one in-universe. Every single Duck family member dreads it when he's coming over for a visit because they know he'll eat all their food, hogs all their things, and keeps them awake all night with his infernal snoring, which can be heard through concrete-thick walls.
- No Social Skills: Though it doesn't seem to be the cause of any strange upbringing or Asperger's Syndrome or anything like that — Rumpus probably could be a socially well-adjusted person if he made the effort; it's just that he does not care enough about anyone who isn't him to even bother trying.
- Sibling Yin-Yang: He's the lazy, not-carrying brother of the Self-Made Man Scrooge McDuck.
Douglas McDuck
Scrooge's cousin and Whitewater's uncle.
- All That Glitters: One of the core differences between Scrooge and Douglas symbolic of their respective success and... not-so-success is that, while gold was crucial for Scrooge to get his fortune started, Douglas has the peculiar inability to tell gold from fool's gold and somehow always comes up with bags of the latter thoroughly convinced it's the former. The one time he actually found gold was in "Smarter Than The Toughies", but it was gold dust and when he came across chunks of fool's gold, he gladly threw the dust away thinking he was getting his hands on better.
- Ambiguously Related: He is introduced as a cousin of Scrooge and part of the McDuck-family, but also is explicitly stated as the uncle of Whitewater Duck who is part of the Duck-side (Donald is related to Scrooge via his mother, Scrooge's sister. For that, his cousin shouldn't have a link to the McDucks. The story A McDuck By Any Other Name adds more ambiguous to the relation: Scrooge states that Douglas was not a real McDuck but just adopted. To prove that, they travel to Scotland. In the end, after Douglas saves Scrooge's life, they decide to not investigate the case further, as Scrooge states Douglas proved to be a real McDuck anyway.
- Family Honor: Starting with "Gall In The Family", Douglas regularly talks badly about Scrooge's branch of the family, calling them spendthrifts and wastrels that do the name "McDuck" no favors. One example he brings up is an event in '98 where Scrooge's father bought a whole glass of lemonade for his family.
- Loan Shark: Not so by occupation, but the punchline of his debut comic is that Scrooge came to visit him after years apart and the first thing Douglas does is remind Scrooge of a dollar he lent him back in the day which he wants back with a sizable interest.
- Mountain Man: He comes down often enough, but his day-to-day life is spent alone in the wilderness looking for gold.
- Related in the Adaptation: Douglas always was Scrooge's cousin, but it wasn't until "Gold Foolery" that he was explicitly identified as a McDuck. It was furthermore not until "Smarter Than The Toughies" that he was identified as Whitewater's uncle.
- The Rival: He and his nephew Whitewater were this to Scrooge and Donald in "Smarter Than The Toughies". Or more fairly considering who entered the contest first, vice versa.
- Uncanny Family Resemblance: Douglas and Scrooge are borderline indistinguishable.
Sir Quackly McDuck
First appearance: (Mentioned) The Old Castle's Secret (1948), (In Person) The Last Of the Clan McDuck (1992)
Scrooge's ancestor, who fought on the side of King Macbeth during the English Civil War, only to fall victim to his own greed when he accidentally walled himself up with his treasure in 1057. Realizing his folly, he took it upon himself to watch over his descendants from the afterlife, especially Scrooge.
- The Atoner: In the centuries since his death, forced to watch as his clan dwindled, Sir Quackly realized what a screwup he'd been, and took it upon himself to help Scrooge lead the family back to greatness.
- Exact Words: When they first meet, Scrooge asks Sir Quackly if he's also a McDuck, only for Quackly to state that it's obviously impossible, since Scrooge, his parents, uncles, and siblings are the only living McDucks left.
- Fatal Flaw: Greed, just like many of his descendants. He got carried away trying to hide the fortune King Macbeth had paid him for shelter, only to wall himself up in the clan castle in the process.
- Friendly Ghost: Though Scrooge never finds out that the "caretaker" of Dismal Downs who helped him against the Whiskervilles was in reality the ghost of his own ancestor.
- This Is Something He's Got to Do Himself: Refuses to simply point out to Scrooge where his treasure is hidden since just being handed wealth won't teach Scrooge what he needs to know.
Ganders
Shamrock Gander
Gladstone's nephew who is just as infuriatingly lucky as his uncle.
- Born Lucky: Exactly like his uncle is. Gladstone knows he can trust Shamrock to have the same success rate as he does.
- Hate Sink: Not to the extent of his uncle because at the end of the day Shamrock is still a child, but consider his debut comic. Daisy forbids Gladstone from entering a lottery she's hosting because she knows his luck makes him an unfair winner. What does Gladstone do? Send in his nephew whom Daisy hasn't met yet so she won't forbid him from entering. Shamrock is fully aware of his role in Gladstone's plan and smugly participates in it.
- It Runs in the Family: Like Gladstone, Daphne, Rose, and Elise, Shamrock is blessed with luck. He also has the same hair as Gladstone, Rose, Elise, and Disraeli.
- Meaningful Name: He's named after a good-luck charm.
- Out of Focus: He's had three comic appearances in total: in 1955, 1978, and 1981. This means he's not been featured for 36 years.
- Sudden Name Change: He is named Clyde in "The Visiting Clyde". Clyde might be another character on account that Huey, Dewey, and Louie did not recognize him, although it could also be that comic story is to be put first chronologically.
Elise and Rose
Gladstone's twin cousins. Some translations make them his nieces and it's also the translations that sometimes give them names, which they lack in the English version.
- Born Lucky: All but confirmed to be the case. Their penchant for luck isn't demonstrated in their one comic, but they're the punchline that there's no escaping the Gander luck. Specifically, Gladstone was forbidden to participate in the lottery hosted by the women club because of his unfair luck. So he sent in his nephew who no one knew was his nephew and equally blessed with luck. Daisy considered making the lottery for women only next time, at which point Elise and Rose step on the scene to greet their cousin Gladstone.
- The Dividual: As is common with child-type family members in Duck & Mouse fiction. In some versions of "Daisy Duck", they are Color-Coded Characters.
- It Runs in the Family: Like Gladstone, Daphne, and Shamrock, Elise and Rose are (likely) blessed with luck. They also have the same hair as Gladstone, Shamrock, and Disraeli.
- Named by the Adaptation: They are unnamed in the English version of their one comic, but received names in some translations. Elise and Rose are their French names.
Crabstone Gander
Gladstone's unspecified ancestor from a 100 years ago in an adaption of The Hound of the Baskervilles.
- Born Lucky: Just like Gladstone after him, it's the reason he can walk around freely in the moor without having to fear the grim-mire.
- Hidden in Plain Sight: Crabstone used picnic baskets to transport his money from and to the moor. Everyone thought he had just a weird preference where to eat and didn't question the picnic basket at times appearing heavier when he left the moor.
- Old Money: The family fortune disappeared with his death because he had hidden it so well. Sherlock Mouse finds it back for Gladstone.
- "Scooby-Doo" Hoax: Crabstone used dogs coated with luminous paint to make the moor look haunted, an extra precaution to keep thieves out. Gladstone picks up the trick and adds himself to it once he becomes master of the castle and the treasure.
Disraeli Duck
Gladstone's cousin from his father's side of the family. While many members of Gladstone's family attract luck, Disraeli attracts pity.
- Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Gladstone's luck is semi-passive, but Disraeli has to put up an act for his powers to do their work. He doesn't have to go to the intellectual heights of Manipulative Bastard because the pity will kick in with the flimsiest of stories, but he is well-aware of what he's doing. His influence only ceases when proof of his lies is presented.
- Enemy Mine: Donald thinks he and Disraeli will get along just fine because of how Gladstone feels about him and initially believes Disraeli is timid. Then Donald notices Disraeli is a manipulative liar and interested in Daisy and he proceeds to help his cousin Gladstone out.
- Friend to All Living Things: 50/50 played straight and subverted. Disraeli's power of pity works on animals, giving him all the fauna-friendly qualities of a Disney Princess! Whether he actually deserves their kindness is another matter. He's a manipulator of people, which does not bode well, but he seemed to genuinely get along well with Bolivar.
- Hate Sink: Even more so than his cousin, namely because while Gladstone's luck is passive, Disraeli has to put effort to exploit being so pitiful. Also, while Gladstone can and does show good qualities, same can't be said for Disraeli.
- It Runs in the Family: Unlike many of his family, Disraeli does not have luck on his side. What he does have is pity and pity makes for powerful peer pressure to give him what he wants anyway. Especially among lucky relatives. His hair's also similar to that of Gladstone, Shamrock, Rose, and Elise.
- Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: Has been this since he was a child. One incident had him desiring the bicycle his cousin had just won, so he threw his own under a bus and went for a cry to Gladstone's mother. She believed it to be an accident and let him borrow Gladstone's bike until he'd get a new one.
- Lazy Bum: A similar principle, but rather than having fate push things on him like with Gladstone or the rest of the family, he has to manipulate people for it.
- Named After Somebody Famous: Benjamin Disraeli, former British Prime Minister and archrival to William Gladstone.
Gooses
Gus Goose
Voiced by: Frank Welker (House of Mouse)
Grandma Duck's incredibly lazy and gluttonous helping hand.
- Alliterative Name: Gus Goose.
- Beware the Nice Ones: He's usually the nicest guy around. Endanger his friends or family or threaten his lunch, and you'll discover why bears run from him.
- Big Eater / Extreme Omnivore: He is always hungry. In the cartoon Donald's Cousin Gus, he comes to visit Donald and through the episode devours all of Donald's food without leaving him a single crumb.
- Depending on the Writer: An interesting variation here, as both comics and cartoons portray Gus as lazy and gluttonous... but whether he is more gluttonous or lazy depends on the media. In the cartoons, Gus' defining trait is his appetite; most of his appearances are almost solely dedicated to him eating huge amounts of food. In the comics, however, Gus (while still a Big Eater) is far more likely to be found asleep under a tree or thinking up ways to do the least possible amount of work.
- Dreadful Musician: Gus has a horrible singing voice. The only one who likes to hear him produce a song is Cissy.
- Everyone Has Standards: Just because he is a glutton doesn't mean he'll eat anything. That's the outcome of eating excellent food like Grandma Duck's. He'll eat only quality food, and one story (code: I TL 2966-2 on I.N.D.U.C.K.S) has him comically imprisoned by a couple of impostors. Their methods of torture included making him watch people eating horrid, rotting food.
- Hidden Depths: An amazing food critic, who can easily detect the quality of any food. In Italian stories, he actually has an on-off job in Duckburg police hunting down those who sell food made with adulterated ingredients, and, in spite of his laziness and usually being at Grandma Duck's farm, is easily their best agent, that they call in whenever a case becomes too complicated for the full-time officers.
- Lazy Bum: His defining trait in the comics; he never does more work than he absolutely has to.
- Nice Guy: Despite being incredibly lazy, always shirking work, and always eating more than his fair share, he is actually very soft-hearted. In one story, it turned out that the reason he hadn't fetched the mail in weeks was that two birds had made a nest in Grandma's mailbox, and Gus didn't have the heart to disturb the baby birds.
- The Stoic: One interesting side-effect of his laziness — he is usually pretty calm and level-headed in a crisis, either because panicking takes too much energy or because he was dozing off when the danger was explained and isn't aware of how much trouble he is really in.
- Stout Strength: Surprisingly strong, able to lift Grandma's horse.
- Supreme Chef: In general, he's far more interested in eating than in cooking, but on the rare occasions when he does cook, he's almost as good as Grandma (he has, after all, picked up a lot from her).
- Ultimate Job Security: The only logical explanation for why Gus hasn't been fired is that he's Grandma Duck's nephew, as she crossly reminds us now and then.
- There have been a couple of stories where Gus (temporarily) either got much more energetic, or Grandma hired another farmhand to help out — every time, Grandma ended up going nuts because all of a sudden there wasn't enough work left for her.
- The Voiceless: In the cartoons he only utters the occasional honk, and when he first appeared in the daily comic strip by Al Taliaferro he was likewise silent — but when he was picked up by Carl Barks and made Grandma's farmhand, he became a fully-voiced character and his comics incarnation has remained so ever since.
Greta Goose
A cousin of Gus and presumably a grandnibling of Grandma Duck too. She's a lumberjack in the North Woods and, after intervention by Grandma, in a relationship with Hjalmar.
- Alliterative Name: Greta Goose.
- Badass Adorable: She's adorable and pretty and can lift an entire tree on her own. Which is useful for a lumberjack.
- Dogged Nice Guy: Greta is well-liked in the settlement and known to be dependable and capable, but not a man views her as a potential romantic partner because No Guy Wants an Amazon. Grandma Duck gets more interest when she arrives.
- Dreadful Musician: Not unlike Gus, Greta has a horrible singing voice. It does, however, attract moose. Far more than for appearance, this makes Hjalmar decide to date her because it makes her the ideal hunting partner.
- She Cleans Up Nicely: After Grandma gives Greta a makeover, she immediately draws the attention of Hjalmar for "looking like a girl".
- Stout Strength: Portrayed as amazing, but not out of the ordinary. Other than carrying around trees, Greta also helps get a car filled with lumber out of the mud by lifting it and is asked to straighten a beartrap.
Socrates M. Gosling
Better known as "Sock", Socrates is the nerdy cousin of Huey, Dewey, and Louie. He is related to Gus Goose insofar that Gus was authorized to send him to stay with Donald for a while, but it isn't clarified how they are related.
- Ambiguously Related: He physically resembles Gus Goose and has a similar-sounding surname, but their exact relationship is never defined.
- The Bus Came Back: After his run in 1944, Sock remained absent until 1984 when he got to star in his first comic story: "Woodchuck Sock". Since then, he appeared in another comic only once in 2002's "Healthy Choice".
- Butt-Monkey: Either he brings it upon himself or he's the victim of the triplets.
- Deathbringer the Adorable: Prior to meeting Socrates, Huey, Dewey, and Louie assume "Sock" refers to the verb "to sock" and go as far as to acquire fake glasses to avoid a pummeling.
- No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: In one comic, Sock tries to convince the triplets that asking for cookies is better than stealing them. He goes to ask for one from Donald, but when Donald approves and they go to the plate, all the cookies are gone because Huey, Dewey, and Louie stole them in the meantime.
Coots
Cornelius Coot
The founder of Duckburg and Donald's great-great-grandfather. An immense statue of him erected by Scrooge as part of a contest with the Maharajah of Howduyustan towers over the city.
- Alliterative Name: Cornelius Coot.
- Ascended Extra: Carl Barks created and named him as the founder of Duckburg, but he only appears via statues as in "Statuesque Spendthrifts" and "Statues of Limitations". The reader never learns anymore about that man. Later writers like Don Rosa would flesh out the background of Cornelius Coot more and more, including flashbacks, a backstory for why he's always portrayed with corn and his own family.
- Depending on the Writer: In his original depictions there is no indication the Ducks are in any way related to Cornelius Coot. In fact, he's just portrayed as the founder of their hometown. Don Rosa and some other writers would later link Donald and/or Scrooge to Cornelius, most famously with Rosa deciding to make Grandma Duck the granddaughter of Cornelius Coot.
- Founder of the Kingdom: The founder of Duckburg.
- Our Founder: He founded Duckburg. The statue of him is a plot point in some stories when it's not just background decoration.
- Posthumous Character: Never appears in person, but his great-grandson sells Killmotor Hill to Scrooge when the two meet in Klondike. Prior to Scrooge centering his financial empire around his money bin there, Duckburg was merely a few farms and the old decaying Fort Duckburg, established by Sir Francis Drake some 200 years before.
- The Ducks do meet him "for real" in a time-travel story, though.
- His spirit/ghost is also seen watching Scrooge at the end of His Majesty, McDuck.
- His background is finally explored in part in the Italian story The Exile of the Van Coots.
- Specs of Awesome: Even his statue has the specs, cementing him as a badass explorer.
Clinton Coot
First appearance: "Guardians of the Lost Library", 1993
Voiced by: Thomas Lennon (2018)
The son of Cornelius Coot and founder of the Junior Woodchucks.
- Alliterative Name: Clinton Coot.
- Ascended Extra: He was created by Don Rosa as the founder of the Junior Woodchucks and established in his family tree. However, while he was rarely used by Rosa or other writers, he makes his animated debut in Legend of the Three Caballeros where he's depicted as an ancestor of Donald and a founder of the original three Caballeros.
- Posthumous Character: Much like his father Cornelius he's already dead at the time most stories take place, so he only gets mentioned or appears via flashbacks.
Casey Coot
First appearance: "Last Sled To Dawson", 1988
The grandson of Cornelius and the son of Clinton Coot, as well as Grandma Duck's brother. He's the one selling the piece of land where the Fort Duckburg stands to Scrooge McDuck.
- Alliterative Name: Casey Coot.
- Small Role, Big Impact: He only appears in a short flashback sequence in his debut story by Don Rosa. However, in this scene, he sells the land of piece where the Fort Duckburg stands to Scrooge McDuck. This hill will later be the place where Scrooge's money bin stands. In fact, Scrooge's influence transforms Duckburg from a small community into the big city it is nowadays and in which most of the Duck family's adventures take place. In other word, it was Casey's decision to sell his grandfather's land to the newly rich Scrooge who is responsible for all the stories taking place here.
Unknown
Ludwig von Drake
Voiced by: Paul Frees (1961-1986), Walker Edmiston (1985-1987), Wayne Allwine (1985), Albert Ash (1987), Corey Burton (1987-present)
An absent-minded scholar/inventor who is referred to as Donald's uncle (according to Walt Disney himself, he's the brother of Donald's father, while in Tony Strobl's stories, he's depicted as Grandma Duck's cousin, and Don Rosa claims he is/was married to Scrooge's sister Matilda, making him Donald's uncle by marriage) and an expert on everything. He originally appeared in Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color and has since become a semi-recurring character in the comics. He and Gyro are somewhat similar and if you're confused, just remember, Ludwig is The Professor first and a Bungling Inventor second, while Gyro is the other way around.
- Absent-Minded Professor: As smart as Ludwig is, he's a bit airheaded if not senile, easily losing his train of thought.
- Ambiguously Related: He was once introduced by Walt Disney himself as Donald's uncle but how exactly he is related is a constant debate between fans and creatives. It helps that there seems to be almost no other named von Drakes in the Duck family. It becomes more ambiguous in regards to Scrooge: Many stories hint that Scrooge and Ludwig may be related too. Don Rosa revealed his view of things, that Ludwig is married to Scrooge's sister Mathilda, making him a wider, not blood-related part of the family. But this is far from official canon.
- Ditzy Genius: Even more so than Gyro, in fact. There's no doubt that he's brilliant in every way, but he's also somewhat of an eccentric, at times bordering on being a Wonka — or, Depending on the Writer, even a full-fledged Cloudcuckoolander.
- Famous Ancestor: According to the episode "The Truth About Mother Goose" of Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color, Ludwig is the grandson of Mother Goose.
- Insufferable Genius: On a bad day. But even on a good day, humility is not his strongest suit. One story shows that the other professors at his university outright hate him because he keeps walking in on their classes and correcting them in front of their students.
- Momma's Boy: In Mickey MouseWorks and House of Mouse, it was a Running Gag for him to be intimidated by his mother yelling at him from offscreen. This has since found some comic follow-up, like in "Wiener Schnitzel Woes", where his mother sends him homemade wiener schnitzel weekly all the way from Austria.
- Mr. Exposition: Occasionally, his role is to explain why things are happening.
- Out of Focus: In later years he hasn't been used much in comics — in fact, for some years Egmont Creative A/S, the main publisher of Disney comics in Europe, completely banned any use of the character, because editor and creative leader Byron Erickson considered him superfluous; there was nothing Ludwig could do that Gyro Gearloose or the Junior Woodchuck Guidebook couldn't. However, the ban seems to have been lifted in recent years, though Ludwig is still a minor character in the comics.
- Strangely enough, another character that was banned from use at Egmont was Launchpad McQuack, and when asked why the two characters were not seen in Disney comics nowadays, Byron Erickson famously answered: "Ludwig and Launchpad ran off to Las Vegas, where they came out as transvestites and joined a drag show."
- The animated version of Ludwig, however, remains fairly central and is usually the character who appears whenever Mickey Mouse or his friends need a scientist to explain things.
- Also still a recurring character in Italian comics, usually appearing whenever Scrooge needs some cultural help.
- Omni Disciplinary Scientist: In fact, he'll constantly point out all the various fields he's an expert in. Usually, he's right about it too, though he doesn't always go on about things in the most sensible way.
- Opposite-Sex Clone: He made one of himself in House of Mouse to be a romantic partner. She broke up with him because of his ego.
- Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness: Tends to overcomplicate things.
- World's Smartest Man: He is an universally acclaimed expert in nearly any theoretical science field imaginable and has diploms to proof that. Every than and when a young scientist tries to best him and fails.
Sholto
Donald's distant cousin from an unspecified branch of the family. He's an anthropologist at Goosetown University.
- Absent-Minded Professor: A light case. He's driven by his work and can forget all the technical aspects surrounding it that need to be taken care of too. Even details of his work can get muddled up, like when he assured Donald that nonos are flightless swimmers and later realized he was thinking of penguins; nonos are nonaquatic fliers.
- Experimental Archeology: He and Professor Grabgrant each had their own ideas on how the population of Arbor Day Island could've reached the site that later would be Duckburg. The latter believed it to be due to boats made of mud and the former didn't have any theories except that a mud boat would be preposterous. So they agreed to a contest in which each would go to Ardor Day Island and build something to reach Duckburg. In the end, the historical boats proved to be the island's large statues, which actually were hollowed-out pumice.
- The Jinx: Donald thinks of him as one, anyway. Whenever Sholto comes over, he drags Donald into tiresome adventures more trouble than they'd have to be.
- Will Not Tell a Lie: He rather gets himself, Donald, and the nephews thrown overboard than keep a secret of scientific fraud.
Love interests
April, May and June
Voiced by: Jessica DiCicco (Legend of the Three Caballeros), Kate Micucci (April/ Webby), Riki Lindhome (May), and Noël Wells (June) (DuckTales (2017))
Daisy's three nieces, and more or less Distaff Counterparts of Huey, Dewey, and Louie. Unlike HD&L, however, they live with their mother, Daisy's anonymous sister, and only occasionally stay with their aunt.
- The Cameo: Prior to Legend of the Three Caballeros, their only animated appearance was a cameo in the House of Mouse episode "Ladies' Night".
- Chromatic Arrangement: Only in about half their appearances do the girls follow the classic red/blue/green scheme; they're often seen to wear yellow/magenta/cyan, and sometimes (such as in Legend of the Three Caballeros) they discard the chromatic part and wear yellow/purple/orange — and sometimes they all wear the same color. The girls did not get an official color assignment until 1998 when the Dutch comics made them regulars in the Duckies series. In one comic published that year, "Nieuwe Coupe" ("New Hairdo"), the girls gain more modern appearances and can now be told apart by their hairstyles◊: April wears her hair in a ponytail (magenta), May has short hair and wears a headband (cyan), while June wears twin pigtails (yellow). Certain Danish stories also feature the redesigned girls.
- Composite Character: In DuckTales (1987), Webby is essentially the girls as one character.
- Decomposite Character:
- April, May, and June follow on the 1941 character Dottie, also a niece of Daisy. Yes, the girls are both decomposite and composite characters.
- Returning to the subject of Webby, in DuckTales (2017), the final episodes introduce May and June, while April turns out to be Webby herself, in a Tomato in the Mirror moment.
- Distaff Counterpart: Few Disney characters are this blatant about it.
- The Dividual: Like Huey, Dewey, and Louie, the girls look and act the same.
- Identical Twin ID Tag: Again, in the modern Dutch comics, their hairstyles. In older comics, the colours of their clothes are probably supposed to be this, but since the girls' colours are even more inconsistently handled than Huey, Dewey and Louie's are, this really doesn't help.
- Parental Abandonment: Surprisingly enough, averted. Though their mother never appears on-page and isn't referred to very often, the girls first show up in a story where Daisy is visiting her sister and introduces her three nieces to Donald. Presumably, they still live with their mother (though we don't hear anything about their father).
- Related in the Adaptation: In DuckTales (2017), instead of Daisy Duck, they're related to Scrooge McDuck through cloning.
- Tertiary Sexual Characteristics: They wear bows on their heads.
- Theme Twin Naming: Rather than having their names rhyme like Donald's nephews, Daisy's nieces' names are all months of the year and can also be used as feminine names.
- Wise Beyond Their Years: Much like Huey, Dewey, and Louie, they are often vastly more sensible than the adults around them.
Dottie
Dottie, also known as Dotty, is the niece of Daisy Duck. Huey, Dewey, and Louie each have a crush on her.
- Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: She appeared in two newspaper comics and then never again. She's arguably been succeeded by Daisy's "other" nieces April, May, and June.
- Decomposite Character: April, May and June are this to her. Funnily enough, they have a Composite Character in Webby Vanderquack of DuckTales fame.
- Distaff Counterpart: To Huey, Dewey, and Louie.
Glittering Goldie O'Gilt
Debut: Back to the Klondike (1953)
Scrooge's love interest from his gold prospecting days, "the only live one I ever knew."
- Alliterative Name: Glittering Goldie O'Gilt.
- Ascended Extra: Her creator Carl Barks only used her in one story, Back to the Klondike. His spiritual successor, Don Rosa, especially in his Scrooge-biography The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck as well the animated adaptation of the comic in DuckTales (1987) cemented her as the primary and sometimes only love interest and appeared in multiple media since.
- Breakout Character: Only appeared in one Carl Barks story but was eventually accepted as Scrooge's de facto love interest (a la Irene Adler) in American comics and animation.
- The Chanteuse: She was the leading star of "The Black Jack" when Scrooge met her.
- Defrosting Ice Queen: Both she and Scrooge had this effect on each other. Unlike Scrooge however, Goldie in her older days is more or less not trying to hide a Hidden Heart of Gold and has no problem showing Scrooge that she still loves him.
- Demoted to Extra: In Italian comics, her character is rarely used (aside from cameos and short scenes) in favour of Brigitta.
- Depending on the Writer: Just like Scrooge, Duck Tales gives her a Lighter and Softer personality where she and Scrooge are way more open about their feelings and even nearly gets married at one point.
- Femme Fatale: Yes, there's a character like in a Disney comic. She frankly ticks all the boxes, at least in her younger days. Charming? Yes. Glamorous? Yes. She manipulates men (or ducks) in dangerous situations? Definitely check.
- I Will Wait for You: In "A Little Something Special", she tells Scrooge this.
- Love at First Punch: Drugging and robbing a guy and dumping him in a ditch is not your typical foundation for a relationship.
- Love Hurts: It didn't turn out well.
- Maybe Ever After: As mentioned in Scrooge's entries, Don Rosa's stories has left some hints here and there that Scrooge might eventually return to her someday.
- Meaningful Name: It's probably no coincidence that Scrooge's love interest has "gold" in her name.
- New Old Flame: Even 50 years after they last saw each other, she and Scrooge still have strong feelings for each other. In Don Rosa's "The Quest for Kalevala", it's hinted that Scrooge plans on returning to her someday.
- Non-Mammal Mammaries: She has breasts in the stories drawn by Don Rosa.
- No Celebrities Were Harmed: Her inspiration was Yukon dancer Kathleen "Klondike Kate" Rockwell.
- Odd Friendship: She has met Brigitta in at least two stories, and they get along really well... Fully knowing they're rivals in love. Goldie all but states that Brigitta is the only one she could tolerate with Scrooge in her place, and Brigitta hints she reciprocates.
- Older and Wiser: In her youth, she was a Femme Fatale, thief and swindler with quite the temper. In her old age, she retains the temper, but otherwise acts as a Cool Old Lady who gives advice to the younger Ducks.
- Older Than They Look: In the Ducktales 2017 reboot, she looks a good bit younger in her old age than any other depiction, yet still retains her long-time Gold Rush relationship with Scrooge. This is handwaved when she casually claims to have found a fountain of youth since they last met.
- The One That Got Away: For Scrooge.
- Silver Vixen: Not as originally depicted by Carl Barks, but when Don Rosa draws her she's always depicted as every bit as beautiful as she was when Scrooge first knew her. It's likely a case of She Cleans Up Nicely, as by the time of her first appearance, she'd spent the decades since the end of the Yukon gold rush in the wilderness, living on Scrooge's old claim. By the time she reappears in Rosa's work, she'd returned to Dawson and turned the old Blackjack Ballroom into a hotel, allowing her to regain her old looks.
- Stockholm Syndrome: Don Rosa attempted to avert this by showing that Goldie had brought a gun, meaning she could have killed Scrooge if she wanted to, and also adding the fact that she was half-willingly joining him at his claim so she could seize an opportunity to trick him and steal his gold nugget again. Also, she already had an interest in Scrooge before he kidnapped her.
- Rags to Riches: She already lived in Dawson back when it was basically just a logging camp, running the-then Blackjack Saloon for the lumberjacks in the area. When the gold rush hit, Goldie blossomed into wealth and stardom, becoming known as "The Star Of the North". Sadly, the end of the gold rush, not to mention Scrooge's rejection, eventually led to her falling back down again. The events of "Back To The Klondike" leads to Goldie finding a middle ground as the owner of the Blackjack Hotel.
- Took a Level in Kindness: Spent the years after the gold rush taking care of orphans.
- Too Much Alike: She and Scrooge are stubborn, proud, (apparently) greedy and cold-hearted. All of this drives them apart, instead of bringing them closer.
- Tsundere: She truly does love Scrooge, but won't admit it to his face out of pride (at least in her youth). Yeah, Goldie fits the definition to a T. If it weren't for that stray block of frozen hose water...
- Villainesses Want Heroes: Not a down right villain per se, but Goldie is introduced as greedy, rude and deceitful, not above drugging prospectors to steal their gold. She quickly gets a thing for Scrooge learning how he refuses to waste his money unlike every other man in Dawson and watching him demonstrate his strength on the town's crooks. Eventually however, Goldie defrosts.
Brigitta McBridge
Debut: The Last Babaloo (1960)
A shrewd businesswoman duck whose main goal is to one day marry Scrooge McDuck, even though he isn't interested in romance at all. Created by Romano Scarpa, Barks liked the character enough to give Romano a drawing of Brigitta trying to seduce Scrooge with a Money-Scented perfume, which Romano then wrote a story based on said premise. The original drawing has been lost.
- Abhorrent Admirer: To Scrooge. Brigitta truly loves Scrooge, and for decades, she has tried every method to get him to return her love. This includes stalking him, which greatly infuriates Scrooge.
- Right from the beginning, Scarpa and his successors have left enough hints that Scrooge is interested in her, but does not enjoy her obsession with him. Although he pretends to be emotionless—a typical character trait—he is not.
- Ascended Extra: Already shortly after her creation by Scarpa, she was picked up by other authors and began appearing in their stories. She still appears frequently in Italian stories, even getting the occasional starring role in stories where Scrooge doesn't appear.
- Brilliant, but Lazy: She could be as rich as the likes of Rockerduck, Glomgold, and even Scrooge himself... Except she can't be bothered to get serious unless Scrooge makes her angry.
- Best shown by an alternate universe counterpart, who had stopped going in any business after marrying her reality's Scrooge and not caring that her new spendthrift habits were contributing to his impending bankruptcy... Then the main universe's Scrooge, who had been tricked by her husband into switching places, got in his mind to restore his wealth and put her in charge of the restaurants side of the businesses after reminding her of how she used to be, and she brought them back to their former glory in weeks-just as Scrooge expected based on his experience with the main reality's Brigitta.
- Characterization Marches On: In her early stories it wasn't clear if her love for Scrooge was genuine (in Scarpa's own words, "Does she have a crush on Scrooge, on his fortune... Or both?"), before other authors made clear she really loved Scrooge. Similarly, as the years went on, while her crush on Scrooge remained as strong as ever, she became less obsessive and her Stalker with a Crush tendencies were heavily toned down.
- The Dreaded: Scrooge is terrified of Brigitta whenever she decides to compete with him, as he knows far too well that, no matter if she succeeds or not, she is just as formidable as Rockerduck or Glomgold, if not more, and she always comes out of nowhere and he can't prepare for her.
- Gold Digger: Subverted: while she sometimes appears one, it's usually very clear she's interested in Scrooge for his own personality.
- Hidden Depths: She's usually seen as just a lovestruck woman, but she's actually a businesswoman in the same league as Scrooge himself. These Depths have become markedly less Hidden over the years, as Characterization Marches On.
- Intergenerational Friendship: She's old enough she first met Scrooge in 1897, but often forms a friendly quartet with the much younger Daisy and Miss Quackfaster and, occasionally, the even older Grandma Duck. She also gets along very well with Huey, Dewey and Louie, and Dickie.
- Mad Love: She is perfectly aware that Scrooge doesn't return her feelings, but this doesn't stop her from hoping, and trying again, and again, and again...
- The Matchmaker: A professional one: her most frequent enterprise is a dating agency and a rather successful one.
- Odd Friendship: She has met Goldie in at least two stories and they get along really well, fully knowing they're rivals in love. It's hinted that Brigitta considers Goldie the only woman she could tolerate with Scrooge, and Goldie all but declares the same for her.
- Older Than They Look: She's not much younger than Scrooge is, yet she looks in her forties.
- Pink Means Feminine: Her "Briggitik" costume is totally pink (bow and arrow included). Justified because "love" is her motif.
- Platonic Life-Partners: With Jubal — which is a clear case of Characterization Marches On, as the two were definitely not friends in the first story Jubal appeared in.
- Remember the New Girl?: Her first story mentions she already knew Scrooge in 1898, right after he turned from millionaire prospector to businessman, and a later story shows they had already met the previous year.
- Ship Tease: Scrooge is often depicted as feeling something for her. If it's either love, friendship, or just respect, that is up to the readers.
- Stalker with a Crush: To Scrooge, though the actual stalking has been toned severely down since her early appearances.
- Stalking is Love: While downplayed in more recent stories, her methods in her classic appearances actually include ambushing him on public places, disguising herself to enter the money bin and some old stories reveal she has a telescope on her house to observe Scrooge doing his work and private life. Some Scarpa-stories show Scrooge hiding in panic that Brigitta is waiting for him. However, Brigitta´s stalking and Scrooge's terrified reactions on it are mainly Played for Laughs and portrayed as love from Brigitta´s side. While Scrooge clearly feels uncomfirtable most of the time (although some stories show he may have feelings for her), Scrooge's family and especially Brigitta's good friend Daisy are even supporting Brigitta´s stalking and often will in turn criticize Scrooge for acting rude towards her attemps as she just means well.
- Supreme Chef: An excellent cook. Some of her businesses (starting from the epic one in "Brigitta's Strawberries" actually took advantage from that
- Took a Level in Badass: In the Italy story "Paperinik, Paperinika e la Romantica Vendicatrice" (Duck Avenger, Super Daisy and the Romantic Avenger), Brigitta takes the identity of Brigittik, the Romantic Avenger after being accidentally brainwashed by a Gyro invention that releases all of Brigitta's frustration about her romantic failure. This identity re-appears in few stories.
- Tsundere: Of "Dere" type. Differently from Goldie, Brigitta is usually very sweet (and even open about her feelings), but whenever Scrooge goes too far in his rejections he is quickly reminded she is really vindicative-and a businesswoman good enough to actually rival him.
- Woman Scorned: Many stories starring Brigitta have her being rudely rejected by Scrooge, then starting her own business trying to outperform him.
- Zany Scheme: She is really good with them... they actually succeed a fair number of times too.
Feather Mallard
A woman as lucky as Gladstone Gander. They fancy each other, but their supernatural fortune turns into supernatural misfortune whenever they are together.
- Born Lucky: Heavily implied to be the case.
- Brought Down to Normal: Whenever she and Gladstone are together, their fortunes cancel each other out into mutual misfortune.
- Distaff Counterpart: Of Gladstone.
- Lazy Bum: Because her luck means she never has to work, she abhors effort beyond stuff like picking up a diamond ring she finds on the street.
Gloria
Fethry's girlfriend and the civilian identity of the Purple Butterfly.
- Amazon Brigade: One of the members of Daisy's Adventure Club in the 90s, along with Daisy Duck, Minnie Mouse, Clara Cluck, and Clarabelle Cow.
- Granola Girl: It depends on the story who, between her and Fethry, is the more level-headed one.
- Love Triangle: She and Rita Goose had a short rivalry over Fethry. Gloria won.
- New-Age Retro Hippie: Gloria is one, although she's not as overbearing as the stereotype usually goes and she's been considerably toned down over the years.
- Out of Focus: Hasn't appeared in a single story since the 90s when Brazil stopped producing Fethry-centered stories.
- Secret Identity: As the superhero known as the Purple Butterfly, who along with Fethry's Red Bat persona is a member of the Club of Heroes. Neither know the other's secret identity.
Donna Duck
Donna Duck originates from the 1937 short Don Donald and precedes Daisy Duck as Donald's love interest. In 1951, she starred in a series of daily newspaper comics alongside Donald and Daisy and has since made an occasional reappearance. She's currently dating Whitewater Duck.
- Alliterative Name: Donna Duck.
- Costume Evolution: In the animated short, Donna wears only her headpiece and a shawl. Post-Daisy, that look has become somewhat naked-y in comparison, so once Donna made her comic debut, she got an additional shirt.
- Decomposite Character: Until 1951, Donna and Daisy were regarded as the same character. It were the newspaper comics that established Donna as a separate individual.
- Old Flame: Donna and Donald still have some feelings for each other. In the newspaper comics, it's exclusively from Donald's side. In the 2012 comic "Too Many Donalds", it's mutual.
- Pair the Spares: In the newspaper comics, Donna had found a new romantic partner in a dogface named Manuel Gonzales. In the 2012 comic "Too Many Donalds", she instead forms a couple with Whitewater Duck, a cousin of Donald as rarely written about as Donna is.
- Spicy Latina: It's what you get when you put Donald's Hair-Trigger Temper on a Mexican angle and give it to a female character.
Cintia Paiva
A close friend of Dugan Duck, who lives next door, much to her parents' annoyance.
- Alternate Company Equivalent: So here's a well-to-do pig girl living next door to a duck boy who's been picked from the wilderness, all tropes like messy hair, high-energy, and friend included, to live with an uncle figure and whom she has a semi-romantic bond with. Sounds quite a bit like Julie Blurf from DuckTales.
- Girlish Pigtails: And she never wears it differently.
- Girl Next Door: Overlaps with Uptown Girl. She's from an upper class family and her parents aren't all that fond of Dugan and Fethry, who are decidedly less familiar with etiquette and money.
- Hair-Contrast Duo: Cintia fulfills Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold, while her mother, the parent most opposed to her contact with Dugan, has Dark Is Evil going on hair-wise.
- Out of Focus: Hasn't appeared in a single story since the 90s when Brazil stopped producing Dugan-centered stories.
Cecilia "Cissy" Swann
A wealthy woman who is romantically involved with Gus Goose.
- Idle Rich: Cissy's got no job because her parents are rich and spends her day doing whatever she wants.
- Kindhearted Simpleton: Cissy's a sweet girl, alright, but not very bright and sometimes unintentionally self-centered in her actions. In "Roughing It", Grandma's thoughts on Cissy describe her as "as rich as Scrooge and as smart as Gus".
- Motor Mouth: Quite a talker when she gets going. In "The Fashionable Farmer", Grandma Duck leaves for a famers' convention just as Cissy arrives to visit Gus, so Grandma quickly drives on to avoid being held up by a conversation.
- Single Woman Seeks Good Man: With a hint of What Does She See in Him? on account of Cissy's family fortune. She likes Gus for his uncomplicated farmer outlook on life, his work ethic (which she overestimates somewhat due to Gus showing off a little when she's around), his appetite, and she's also the only one who likes to hear him sing.
Hjalmar
A hunter in the North Woods who is in a relationship with Greta Goose.
- Alliterative Name: Hjalmar the Hunter. Not truly a name, but the same prinicple.
- Badass Adorable: Greta thinks he's cute, but he doesn't go around being called "the hunter" for nothing.
- Dreadful Musician: He only knows hunting songs and he can't even perform them in an aurally pleasant manner.
- Hunter Trapper: The Boisterous Bruiser type. He doesn't wear pelts or other trophies or brags about his kills, but he is highly enthusiastic about his job and likes to share the experience.
- No Guy Wants an Amazon: He liked Greta as an acquaintance, but didn't view her as romantic material at first because she wasn't girl-like. His interest was piqued after Grandma gave her a makeover, but didn't know what to do with her over the top Damsel in Distress performance. In the end, he began dating her because of her moose-attracting singing voice.
Love interests' family
Dickie Duck
Debut: The Arrival of Dickie Duck (1966)
Glittering Goldie's granddaughter, who now attends college in Duckburg — that is, when she's not roaming around the town and getting into various mishaps.
- Alliterative Name: Dickie Duck.
- Breakout Character: While a minor character in many countries and virtually unknown in the USA, she was rather popular in Brazil during The '80s, where she starred in her own stories - which featured mainly in José Carioca's comics - together with her own group of friends (including the Aracuan Bird from The Three Caballeros). In those stories, she's a budding musician instead of a cub journalist.
- California University: In her introductory comic, Dickie had already graduated (high school or college, unknown!) In more recent comics, she's attending college in Duckburg, at Calisota University which is conveniently within biking distance of Scrooge's mansion.
- Chaste Hero: She doesn't seem particularly interested in romance either (though other characters are often interested in her).
- Cool Big Sis: While not their actual sister, she'll occasionally play this role to April, May and June. In a few stories she'll have a similar vibe to Huey, Dewey and Louie, but more often with them she's just One of the Boys.
- Depending on the Artist: Does she have white human-like feet (as seen in the picture above) or regular orange duck feet? The former was more common in earlier stories featuring her, but in more recent stories the latter version is more common. Though in her very first appearance she had duck feet for the one panel she went barefoot.
- Dub Name Change: In the Brazilian comics, she's named Pata Lee.
- Fully-Dressed Cartoon Animal: One of few Duck characters that is full dressed.
- Genki Girl: Usually. When teamed up with Huey, Dewey and Louie she is usually the Energetic Girl to their combined Savvy Guy.
- Honorary Uncle: In Italian comics, she calls Scrooge "nonno" ("grandfather"). In Italy it's the equivalent of "old man" and can be both affectionate and derogative, but it's also sometimes taken as a hint that Dickie is really Scrooge's grand-daughter, a daughter of the baby Scrooge and Goldie may have had, since it is hard for Don Rosa fans to imagine Goldie having a relationship with anyone else than Scrooge.
- According to Dickie's origin story, Goldie could no longer take care of her granddaughter and convinced Scrooge to take care of the teenage girl. It set Scrooge up as her legal guardian, though the two do not interact that often.
- Intergenerational Friendship: Very good friends with Brigitta.
- Intrepid Reporter: In some stories she is a junior reporter for the newspaper The Jiminy Cricket.
- Plucky Girl: Perhaps one reason why the normally girl-hating Huey, Dewey and Louie don't mind hanging out with her and are even fine with her taking the lead — she is a spirited teen and One of the Boys.
- Road Trip Plot: Ducks On The Road is an excellent comic about Dickie, Gyro, and Daisy - in the year 1975 - going on a trip from Virginia to California.
- Shout-Out: In the Brazilian comics, she got a Dub Name Change as Pata Lee, after the Brazilian female singer/songwriter Rita Lee, mostly because she's a musician in Zé Carioca's comics and her hairstyle is similar to Rita's (although the real-life singer was redhead at the timenote instead of blonde).
- The One Who Wears Shoes: As well as the one who wears pants. Justified in that she has a more humanoid body than most of the other Ducks.
- Tomboy: While depicted as a typical teenage girl, Dickie is much more interested in her job as a reporter, various sports, and music than romance. Her clothes would not look out of place in a typical boy. Her main feminine trait is her long, blonde hair.
- Two Girls and a Guy: Dickie, Gyro, and Daisy in Ducks On The Road. They're her two favorite people and they're spending the summer together having wacky adventures!
- You Don't Look Like You: In the early 2000 years, the Italian Disney Parade collection of character statues features a Dickie Duck barely taller than Huey, Dewey and Louie◊. Romano Scarpa, the character's original creator, was pissed off since she is supposed to be even taller than Donald.
Teensy Whiffle
Daisy's cousin and the girlfriend of Woimly Filcher.
- Badass Adorable: She's cute and in touch with her femininity, but she's also a traveling anvil salesman.
- Elopement: Not literally, but Teensy and Woimly fell in love during the Duckburg Lothario's Annual Winter-Walk while they each had another as partner. Donald and Gloria had treated them badly during the walk (Donald not on purpose), so for the two to walk out on the activity and ditch their partners in favor of each other is understandable.
- Fluffy the Terrible: Donald expected a much more delicate partner for the Winter-Walk based on the name "Teensy Whiffle".
- No Guy Wants an Amazon: Averted in practice, but it's this attitude that Daisy counted on when she set up Teensy as Donald's date for the Duckburg Lothario's Annual Winter-Walk. She herself couldn't go because she was sick and she didn't want Donald to go with anyone who could qualify as a romantic rival, like Gloria De Lovely.
- Off-into-the-Distance Ending: Her part of "Duos and Don'ts" ends with her, Woimly, and her anvils driving off out of Duckburg.
