---

A-M

• Accents Aren't Hereditary: Webby was raised by her British grandmother and "never heard an American accent until [she] was seven", but her natural accent is completely American.
• Adaptational Angst Upgrade: Zigzagged. In the original series, she didn't have an unhappy life, but she was treated poorly by the triplets simply because she was a girl and had feminine interests. In this adaptation, the triplets (who are nicer in this reboot) welcome her quickly as a friend, showing zero problems with either her gender or interests; however, she has also been living in McDuck Manor for most, if not all of her life, which has greatly affected her social life and skills, contributing to her desire for friends.
• Adaptational Badass: In the previous series, she was just the Tagalong Kid who had a tendency to get into a lot of danger. Here, her saying Mrs. Beakley "taught her how to take care of herself" is a massive understatement.
• Adaptational Intelligence: In the original series, Webby was a naive toddler who often got herself in situations. Here, she's a competent fighter with immense knowledge in many areas.
• Adaptation Dye-Job: In the original cartoon, she didn't have hair normally, but a future version of her did have long golden locks. Here, she not only has (what looks to be) hair, but it's also pure white.
• Aesop Amnesia: In "The 87 Cent Solution!", she learned the hard way not to always trust that Scrooge is right about something. But in "How Santa Stole Christmas!", she steadfastly believes Scrooge's claims that Santa is a terrible person, regardless of Santa's kind and friendly demeanor.
• Affectionate Nickname:
  • "Dear" from her grandmother.
  • Lena occasionally calls her "Pink".
  • In "The Living Mummies of Toth-Ra!", Louie calls her "Webs". Dewey picks this up in "The Split Sword of Swanstantine!".
• Age Lift: In the previous series, Webby was younger than the triplets. Here, Word of God confirmed she is around the same age as them.invoked
• All Girls Like Ponies: She owns a book titled "So You Like Ponies?", and gets super-excited when she encounters colorful talking ponies (actually kelpies) in Moorshire. She also loves unicorns, but not for their cuteness or beauty, but their badassery, calling them "sword horses".
• Alone with the Psycho: In "Daytrip of Doom!", when the triplets and Webby are captured, Ma Beagle locks up Big Time with them. Big Time then threatens one of the triplets and would have hurt him if not for Webby. Then Webby turns the tables on Ma Beagle. She sends a counter ransom note, lures her into Funso's after turning off the lights and taunting her with a singsong version of the Funso's slogan, and traps her using the ball pit's net.
• Ambiguously Gay: She is rather close with Lena and had once called her a beautiful idiot.
• Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: Her talking about what she wants to do outside the mansion.
  Webby: But someday, I'm gonna see the world. I'm gonna be an explorer! I'm gonna eat a hamburger!
• Artificial Family Member: Was created by F.O.W.L. from Scrooge's DNA in order to find the Papyrus of Binding, thus making her his daughter.
• Ascended Extra: Downplayed. While Webby was a central character in the original series, in this adaptation, she is now a main protagonist.
• Ascended Fangirl: A huge fan of the famous McDuck family and is now friends/adventuring buddies with them. And in the finale, it turns out she's a blood relative, being Scrooge's daughter via F.O.W.L.'s plotting.
• Badass Adorable: A cute child, huge fangirl of the McDuck family, and an expert in taking down grown adults who are masters at swordsmanship.
• Bad Liar:
  • Her attempts to lie to her grandmother in the pilot are laughable at best.
    Webby: Hi, Granny, I'm spending the night at a friend's house so nothing is wrong!
  • In "Daytrip of Doom!", Louie once again tries to get her to lie to latch some free soda from a friendly waitress, but Webby screws it up and ends up ruining the entire scheme.
  • "The Last Adventure!" reveals that she has gotten much better at it. Not only does she pull off the aforementioned soda lie at the beginning of the episode, she also manages to trick F.O.W.L. into thinking that she is June and even gets Beakley to reveal the truth about her with this trick.
• Beware the Nice Ones: She's a sweet kid, but will kick your butt if you mess with her and the ones she's close to. After being thoroughly used and spat upon by Magica DeSpell, Webby tries her best to beat Magica's ass, especially after she shoots Lena. Keep in mind, even without her powers Magica is an adult woman, but Webby still gets plenty of hits in. Magica actually seems scared of her at one or two points.
• The Big Guy: Not physically (she's still a dainty little girl), but the family freely admits that Webby, thanks to her martial arts training, is the most capable in a fight. Huey calls her "The Fists".
• Big "NO!":
  • As the family is leaving Castle McDuck in "The Secret(s) of Castle McDuck!", she gives out a big one when she realizes that she didn't ask Fergus and Downy anything about Scrooge and his upbringing.
  • Gives another one in the season 1 finale when Magica seemingly destroys Lena.
• Birds of a Feather: Out of all the triplets, she's the closest with Dewey due to their mutual love of adventure and conquering dangerous situations.
• Brother–Sister Team: With the triplets, whom she shares a platonic and sibling-like relationships with. They go on adventures together and fight alongside one another during danger.
• Call a Rabbit a "Smeerp": She calls unicorns "sword horses", mostly because it's a more badass name.
• Calling Parents by Their Name: Assuming that This Duckburg Life takes place post-series, she's still calling Scrooge "Uncle Scrooge" instead of "Dad" despite learning of their biological connection.
• Canon Character All Along: She originally was a Canon Foreigner in the original series, but the series finale reveals in this continuity she's not only a clone of Scrooge, she's also part of the comic book trio April, May and June, here a bunch of clones instead of Daisy Duck's nieces.
• Character Catchphrase: She introduces herself to every new character they encounter with "Hi! I'm Webby."
• Characterization Marches On: The pilot showed her having an admiration of Donald that never showed up in the series again. Presumably because her hero-worship for Scrooge took more importance for her character arc.
• Character Development: An understated example. In the early episodes like "Woo-Hoo!" and "Day Trip of Doom!", she was absolutely terrible at lying, even with Louie’s encouragement. By "Sky Pirates In The Sky!", Webby has gotten better at lying with a straight face, to the point where she can convince the self-proclaimed evil triplet that a plastic, fake gem she bought is worth a fortune and it has magical properties. To drive this point home, one of the first scenes in "The Last Adventure!" is a direct Call-Back to "Day Trip of Doom!" where, unlike last time where she stammers on her words causing her to blurt out her intentions, she grabs the water cup and fills it with Pep! seamlessly.
  • As the show goes on, she’s proven more willing to recognize Scrooge’s faults and dials back her hero worship to more manageable levels. This is best demonstrated by her two visits to the Castle McDuck: she’s near-catatonic in delight on her first visit but able to actually converse with Scrooge's family on her second.
• Charles Atlas Superpower: She is capable of exhibiting physical strength above that of a normal child due to years of training with Mrs. Beakley who also gained it from her experience as Agent 22. Because of this, she is able to contend with those of magical and superhuman abilities. Examples include knocking down Launchpad after a chest-bump and easily carrying a freaking heavy sword that even Dewey had difficulty with. She even manages to give Magica and Black Heron a hard time.
• Chewing the Scenery: The first scene of "Daytrip of Doom!" has Webby do an overly immersive performance in a dart gun game:
  Webby: [when told by Dewey to "take it down a notch"] TELL THAT TO MY MEN YOU CAPTURED IN PEKING!!
  Dewey: What?
  Webby: It's part of my character's Backstory. [has Let's Get Dangerous! look on face] "Grizzled ex-Special Forces pulled out of retirement for revenge!" [snaps back to normal] What's yours?
  Dewey: My guy has a dart gun?
  Webby: Not anymore. [nails Dewey with Dart Guns Akimbo; Dewey screams as he's hit, then Webby snags Dewey's darn gun with a grappling hook] Ha ha!
  [Huey gasps as how intense Webby just got and is running for the foyer after Webby just tried to nail Huey. He makes it to the foyer and tosses the gun aside.]
  Huey: The foyer's the Safe Zone! THE FOYER'S THE SA-AHH! [Webby lands on him.]
  Webby: This is no foyer... this is a tomb.
• Clone Angst: "The Last Adventure!" reveals she was made from Scrooge's DNA in order for Bradford to find the Papyrus of Binding after Scrooge wrote that only his true heir would be able to find it, manipulating Webby into finding it for him to ensure Scrooge would never go out adventuring again. It's not clear if she is truly a clone as she's never called one, but being made for an evil purpose gets to her for a bit regardless.
• Color-Coded Characters: With the triplets; Webby's associated with pink/purple.
• Color-Coded Wizardry: The magic that comes from Webby and Lena's friendship glows with a bright blue color.
• Composite Character: Her original codename given by F.O.W.L. was April, making her an adaptation of the comics' April Duck as well as the original cartoon's Webby. Interestingly, both Webby and April were dubbed "Lizzie" in the Netherlands.
• Crazy-Prepared: Is a product of this. Mrs. Beakley trained her to be "prepared for anything," which explains her Gadgeteer Genius and martial arts mastery, yet she had to stay in the mansion most of her life since it's the safest place she can be.
• Cultured Badass: Webby is a Cunning Linguist, plays the cello, and is a Badass Normal fighter.
• Cunning Linguist: She can understand Egyptian hieroglyphics, Greek, and Portuguese.
• Cute But Psycho: Drifts into this territory in "Daytrip of Doom!", where she takes a dartgun game way too seriously, seems willing to slash someone's throat after misinterpreting a 'cut it out' gesture, and is entirely willing to "break every bone in [Ma Beagle's] body."
• Daddy's Girl: Retroactively. Webby has openly admired Scrooge for her entire life and he has been her Honorary Uncle since late in the first season, though neither of them were aware that they were biologically father and daughter until the Grand Finale.
• Deadpan Snarker: If Huey, Dewey and/or Louie's antics slip into idiocy, Webby will usually become this.
• Death Glare: She gives one to Louie in "The Missing Links of Moorshire!" when he instinctively gestures for payment in exchange for a golf club.
• Didn't Think This Through: In "Day of the Only Child!" she rips a bunch of wires out of the security robot, including some of its processing circuits, so she could ride inside of it. Unsurprisingly, the robot eventually goes haywire and mistakes her and Dewey for being intruders
• Ditzy Genius: When it comes to fighting, preparedness, or random information no one else would likely know, she's your girl. She's also someone with horrible social skills.
• Does Not Know Her Own Strength:
  • During "Daytrip of Doom!" she invites the boys to a game of hacky sack and punts it at them. Dewey has to dive to push Huey out of the way, it buzzes Louie's head and goes clean through the tree behind them, knocking it down.
  • In "The Shadow War!" Launchpad and Webby attempt a chest bump, which knocks over Launchpad. They earlier tried a high-five, both hurting their hands.
• Does Not Like Spam: Despite gulping down a whole kettle of nutmeg tea, Webby reveals to Scrooge she actually can't stand it and only did it to impress him.
• Dope Slap: Gives Louie a Dope Punch when he steals her idea on taming the harpies after dismissing it earlier. Since Muscles Are Meaningless, said punch sends him flying.
• Dragon Rider: According to the 30 Things With DuckTales minisode, "riding a dragon" is one of her "30 things". This is illustrated with a visual of her riding Pixiu, though it's unclear whether this is just a fantasy or something that happens.
• Drink-Based Characterization: Her favorite drink is juice which represents her being an energetic child.
• Easily Forgiven: She is scared to death of how her overprotective grandmother will react when she finds out Webby went on an adventure and lied about being at a friend's house. Mrs. Beakley's annoyed by the lying, but shrugs off the adventure as perfectly safe with Scrooge supervising.
• Empowered Badass Normal: In "From the Confidential Casefiles of Agent 22!" both Webby and Black Heron get their already remarkable fighting skills greatly enhanced after drinking the Gummi Berry Juice.
• Establishing Character Moment: In "Woo-oo!", Webby ties up the nephews and interrogates them, mistaking them for agents of Scrooge's enemies. Once they tell her who they are, she has a fangasm and excitedly asks them questions about being related to Scrooge and Donald. This shows her fighting prowess and fangirling of the McDuck-Duck family.
• Everything's Better with Sparkles: She keeps one of her books covered with sparkles because she likes it.
• Explain, Explain... Oh, Crap!:
  • In "The Living Mummies of Toth-Ra!", when Toth-Ra comes to life, Webby celebrates the fact that the mummy's real... then sees it attacking the citizens of the pyramid and remembers that it's a bad thing.
  • In "The Trickening!", when Dewey asks her what happened when the Celtics ran out of treats for the demons, Webby answers the demons usually fed on children... right when she sees the monsters closing in on them.
• Fake Brit: In-Universe, Webby is good at faking a UK accent if the occasion is needed, because she was raised by her British grandmother in a mansion owned by a Scottish trilionare. According to her, Webby never heard an American accent before she turned seven.
• Fangirl: Webby practically Squees when she meets Huey, Dewey, and Louie simply because they're Donald "the world's greatest adventurer" Duck's nephews and she is a huge fan of their adventurous family.
  • When surrounded by centuries' worth the clan's history in "McMystery at McDuck Manor!", she goes into a nearly-catatonic state out of sheer joy that lasts until they leave the manor.
• Fatal Flaw:
  • Lack of charisma. Webby's been alone for so long that her social skills are non-existent to most people. Webby rarely attempts to consider the feelings of other people when she talks, and usually just says the first thing that pops into her head, no matter if it's approrpiate or not.
  • In "The Last Crash of the Sunchaser!" her nigh nonexistent social skills and lack of a filter keeps her from defusing the situation properly and adds oil to the fire. While Scrooge was wrong to tell her to stay out of family business the way he did, Webby really should not have added "even if gifting an experimental rocket to a mother of three, was a TERRIBLE IDEA!" until everything had calmed down.
  • Adding onto her poor social skills, Webby is very naive and rarely questions anything. She's very trustworthy, but unless they have done something for her to question them, she assumes they are not bad people, thus someone like Lena can get close to her even though Lena seems to be a bit shady considering what she wanted to do in her first episode.
• Fluffy Tamer: "Storkules in Duckburg!" has her trying to tame the harpies, training them how to behave and do tricks as if they're dogs or cats. Downplayed in that the harpies show some resistance to it.
• Foil: To the triplets — All four of them were raised by an overprotective guardian, but while the triplets grew up to be well-adjusted, Webby became socially impaired. On the other hand, the triplets know very little about their family, while Webby's favorite hobby is studying their family's past and exploits.
• Forgiveness: While she is hurt on learning that Lena used her and betrayed the Ducks to bring back Magica, she understands that Lena wasn't completely doing it of her own volition and blames Magica for taking Lena away. She also mourns Lena when Magica destroys the latter's shadow.
• Four-Temperament Ensemble: Forms this with the triplets, she is the Sanguine (cheerful and energetic).
• Freudian Trio: Plays the Id to Huey's Superego and Louie and Lena's Ego in "Terror of the Terra-firmians!". Webby believes in the existence of Terra-firmians even without concrete proof, something which even the laidback Louie and Lena rebuke her for.
• Friend-or-Idol Decision: When Dewey breaks down and admits he doesn't want them to enter the Garden of Selene for fear that it will turn out Della was a bad person, Webby clearly weighs the desire to discover something about Della Duck (who, it should be pointed out, she'd been trying to investigate for years without any success) against possibly breaking Dewey's heart. She chooses Dewey, but Dewey himself realizes the sacrifice she's making and pulls her into the Garden.
• Friend to All Living Things: Webby tends to be friendly and cuddly towards non-sapient animals.
• Friend to Bugs: Averted, but apparently in the pilot, her Only Friend would have been a spider named Morocco Pete.
• Friendless Background: She had no friends prior to meeting the triplets, which results in her having a a strong desire to make friends but also a notable lack of social skills.
• Friendship Trinket: She makes a friendship bracelet for her and Lena. Magica forces Lena to remove it at the end of "Jaw$!". Webby's bracelet is later used as a totem to bring Lena back from the Shadow Realm.
• Gadgeteer Genius: Seems to have a knack for setting traps, such as her Establishing Character Moment lassoing the triplets and hanging them upside down, and the elaborate traps she sets up for the triplets while playing with dart guns in "Daytrip of Doom!".
• Generation Xerox: To Della Duck. Both are adventurous, excitable Action Girls who have father/daughter relationship with Scrooge. They even pose the same way in "Moonvasion!". This takes on a whole other meaning when the finale reveals that Webby and Della are first cousins.
• Genius Bruiser: She is extremely smart, has a vast knowledge of multiple subjects and is a capable fighter.
• Genki Girl: She is far more excitable than she was in the original show. It's played down in the episodes that followed and shown more as a result of her sheltered childhood.
• Girls Love Chocolate: Initially in "The House of the Lucky Gander!", Webby isn't impressed with Liu Hai's buffet like Huey and Dewey are. But once he shows her the chocolate fountain, she runs right over and sticks her head in it.
• The Glomp: Jokingly does this to Louie in Sky Pirates... In The Sky! after revealing that the "priceless diamond" she showed him was just a $5 souvenir she got from a shop.
• Go Mad from the Isolation: Downplayed. Spending years, maybe her entire life, alone in McDuck Manor didn't make Webby go mad, but she is a Cloudcuckoolander who doesn't know the first thing about living in the outside world, and breaks out the martial arts and weapons as a first resort.
• Good Is Not Soft: As Black Heron and Magica DeSpell find out, Webby has no problem using lethal force against them.
• Grappling-Hook Pistol: Webby's main tool in getting herself into and out of dangerous moments is a grappling hook gun. However, her most common "weapon of choice" is empty-handed Martial Arts, taught to her by Mrs Beakley; taught so well in fact she is able to take down an adult armed with a sword.
• Heart Is an Awesome Power: Bouncing is a surprisingly dangerous ability, especially when the bouncer is already a skilled Badass Normal.
• Hereditary Hairstyle: Word of God says that the way her hair juts out on the side away from the camera is specifically supposed to mimic the silhouette of Scrooge's hair tufts.invoked
• Heroic Lineage: She's every bit as capable as her grandmother. Although she's not actually biologically related to Mrs Beakley, but is instead the cloned daughter of Scrooge. Though, it's clear that she takes after Scrooge in a number of ways, like sheer badassery.
• Hero Worship:
  • Webby thinks the utter world of Scrooge McDuck, to the point that it's her first assumption that Della's mysterious note about the Spear of Selene must mean she committed a horrendous betrayal against her innocent uncle.
  • In "The 87 Cent Solution!", her respect for Scrooge leads to her being unable to see how unstable Scrooge is becoming. She makes multiple excuses for his behavior, until he loses it enough that enough she has to sadly admit that he's gone off the deep end.
• Hidden Depths: She took cello lessons for seven years.
• Iconic Item: Has two — Her Night-Vision Goggles and Grappling-Hook Pistol.
• I Just Want to Be Free: Her whole life Webby is kept cooped up in the mansion by her grandma and yearns to see the world. She finally gets her wish in the first episode of the series.
• I Just Want to Have Friends: Webby has barely ever left the McDuck mansion due to her grandmother insisting to keep her safe. She gets excited at meeting the triplets and the idea that they are now friends.
• I Let Gwen Stacy Die: Webby feels responsible for losing Lena to the Shadow Realm, and her supposed death haunts her in the months to come, with her trying to find a way to bring her back but to no avail. In "Friendship Hates Magic!", Webby tries to make a new friend with Violet but is reluctant to do anything involving magic or the Shadow realm due to not wanting to lose her the same way...that is, until Violet convinces Webby she can bring Lena back.
• Innocently Insensitive: In "The Spear of Selene!" she is so blinded by her Hero Worship of Scrooge and the hype of solving the mystery of Della Duck's disappearance that she doesn't realize how afraid of the potentially Awful Truth Dewey is until he physically bars her path.
• Irony: She is excited at the idea of "talking animals wearing clothes", even though technically everyone in the show is one.
• It's Personal: She doesn't take Magica's attempt to ruin the lives of her friends and family very well, and in particular seems to target the witch especially hard over the loss of Lena.
• Laser-Guided Tyke-Bomb: Double Subverted. She was created by F.O.W.L. for the sole purpose of finding the Papyrus of Binding to take down Scrooge once and for all (since it could only be claimed by his direct descendant). Despite Beakley rescuing her long before she could be indoctrinated, she still ends up accomplishing this goal without realizing it was the reason for her creation.
• Lethal Chef: Webby and Launchpad try to make a special dinner for the boys and Donald, in an attempt to get them to reconcile with Scrooge. Their attempts are so bad that Beakley, a much better cook, steps in to help.
• Like a Daughter to Me:
  • In "The Shadow War!" Donald treats Webby as one of his kids, ordering her to stay with the boys on the docks, out of danger. When the shadow army attempts to attack her and the triplets, he shouts, "Get away from my kids!"
  • Della also treats her like one of her kids, even giving her motherly advice in "The Golden Armory of Cornelius Coot!".
• Like Brother and Sister: Webby has a close but very different bond with each of the triplets.
  • She easily gets along best with Dewey, as the two have an equal thirst for adventure and a love for danger.
  • Her relationship with Huey tends to stray into Vitriolic Best Buds territory, due to Huey being more practical and safety conscious, but at the same time, can be a highly supportive relationship as Huey, being the nicest of the triplets, will go out of his way to try and have Webby feel included in their activities or comfort her after some hard times.
  • Louie is usually either a Toxic Friend Influence teaching Webby how to Do Wrong, Right, or Webby getting annoyed with him over his tendency to cut corners and take the easy way out.
• Like Parent, Like Child: She is tougher than the toughies, smarter than the smarties, and sharper than the sharpies just like her genetic progenator; Scrooge McDuck!
• Little Miss Badass: Thanks to the self-defense training by her grandmother, she is extremely athletic and competent with weapons, making her easily one of the most physically capable characters of the show despite being a ten-year-old girl.
• Little Stowaway: In "From the Confidential Casefiles of Agent 22!" Scrooge refuses to let the kids come along to save Beakley. He catches Webby hiding in the lifejacket bin in the submarine.
• Lonely Rich Kid: Well, she's not rich herself, but she lives in the giant mansion of the richest person in the world without any people around her age and the triplets seem to be her first friends ever.
• Master Actor: In "Escape From the Impossibin!" she reveals that she has perfected the art of disguise by impersonating Dewey so perfectly that she is able to fool both Huey and the audience until the real Dewey shows up. Later in "The Last Adventure!" she is able to kidnap June, switch clothes with her, and impersonate her well enough to fool F.O.W.L. until they find the real June.
• Morality Pet: To Lena. It was her friendship with the older duck that helped the latter undergo her Heel–Face Turn.
• Most Fanfic Writers Are Girls: Webby did some very elaborate Worldbuilding for the legendary race of Terra-firmians. Although they turn out to be Real After All, it appears that the history and culture Webby described was all in her head.
• Motor Mouth: Webby speaks in a rapid, high-paced manner.
• Ms. Exposition: She has spent a good deal of her free time trying to research Scrooge's old adventures with Donald, as well as the Duck family tree. She provides information about some of the artifacts in the pilot, namely the Gong of Pixiu, Captain Peghook, the Deus Ex Calibur and the headless man-horse, though that last one is pretty self-explanatory.
• Mundane Luxury: One of her goals in life is to eat a hamburger. In fact, the triplets offering to get her one leads her to conclude that they're her best friends.
• Mundane Made Awesome: Her dramatic declaration that one day, "I'm going to eat... a hamburger!" as she strikes an adventurous pose similar to the Scrooge McDuck statue directly behind her, is made of this. Later she treats a ride on a regular city bus as one of the most exciting things she has ever done.
• Muscles Are Meaningless: Webby has the average build of someone being around 10-years-old, but she has proven to be stronger than she looks — being able to take on and win against adults.
• Mysterious Past: While it's known that her grandmother raised and trained her in Scrooge's mansion, it's unknown what happened to Webby's parents. The series finale reveals the truth — she was cloned from Scrooge by F.O.W.L., and Mrs. Beakley — not knowing this — rescued the infant Webby when she found her in the lab where she was made, and took her to Scrooge's mansion to keep her safe.

N-W

• Nice Girl: Webby may be strange and have poor social skills, but she's nonetheless sweet and caring.
• Nice Job Breaking It, Hero:
  • In "The Beagle Birthday Massacre!", when Webby is trying to untie Lena, she accidentally trips backwards and hits the stagelights. This tips off the Beagle Boys to Webby's presence and gets both her and the Triplets captured.
  • Dewey probably wouldn't have started having doubts, culminating in him trying to stop Webby from entering the Garden of Selene, if Webby herself didn't keep bringing up the idea that Della betrayed Scrooge and Donald or otherwise selfishly put them into harm's way.
  • In "Jaw$!" because Webby blabbed that Scrooge's #1 Dime isn't in the vault, the money shark decided to leave the vault, go look for it, and cause havoc doing so.
• Night-Vision Goggles: Webby owns a pair the glows bright green.
• No Sense of Personal Space: Lampshaded when she turns the page of a book a stranger is reading entitled "The Joy of Personal Space." If a stranger invades her personal space though, she is liable to get violent.
• No Social Skills: Before she met the nephews she never had any friends. So she's a bit...overeager in her social skills. This causes major problems in "The Last Crash of the Sunchaser!". She tries to defend Scrooge and calm down the boys .... only for her to let it slip, that "giving an expectant mother an experimental rocket was clearly a terrible idea". Naturally it makes things worse as Scrooge lashes at her too — outright claiming she's not family. Which causes Mrs. Beakley to turn on Scrooge too.
• No, You: When Huey dismisses the Terra-Firmians as "ridiculous", Webby retorts "You're ridiculous!"
• Not So Above It All: Even she is charmed by Gladstone despite the fact that she is a prime expert on Scrooge McDuck, and his work values.
• Oh, Crap!: Her reaction in "The Beagle Birthday Massacre!" when realizing that Lena just brought her to Ma Beagle's birthday party.
• "Oh, Crap!" Smile: She dons one in "Daytrip of Doom!" when she realizes that her crazy antics might have given the bus driver enough motivation to kick her and the boys off the bus.
• Omniglot: She knows a lot of languages, including dead languages like Old Norse.
• One of the Boys: When the triplets were heading off to Funso's, they say, "Come on, boys!" Webby initially thinks she's not being included. Dewey makes a point of asking if she's coming when she doesn't seem to join them. It doesn't hurt that she's an Action Girl with little experience outside of situations of peril.
• O.O.C. Is Serious Business:
  • After finding out the possibility that Lena betrayed them, Webby becomes snappish and irritable. She also fights Magica with more brutality than she did with Black Heron.
  • If Webby, the main Hero-Worshipper of Scrooge McDuck, decides to side against him, you know the duck has done something wrong or is acting weird.
• Opposite-Sex Clone: Was created from Scrooge’s DNA to find the Papyrus of Binding, though she's never actually referred to as a clone.
• Pals with Jesus: She has an autographed photo of the demon Rakshasa signed, "Love, Rakky". She's also good friends with Greek goddess Selene and demigod Storkules.
• The Paranoiac: As a result of Beakley's intense training, Webby is quick to assume that any surprises are some kind of trap or sneak attack.
• Pink Means Feminine: Downplayed, she's a Tomboy with a Girly Streak who primarily wears pink and purple.
• Pint-Sized Powerhouse: When Webby and Launchpad do a chest bump, it's Launchpad who's knocked over, despite being much larger and heavier than her. Webby is just that strong.
• The Pollyanna: Webby believes in the best of people. Beakley even states that her optimism is her main strength.
• Power of Friendship: In "Jaw$!" she believes it can stop the money shark. It does. This is despite being explicitly told by Lena that it isn't a thing.
• Practically Different Generations: She considers her clones May and June to be her sisters, both of whom are around 10 years younger than her despite appearing to be the same age. This also goes the other way with Donald and Della, who were raised by her biological father and are roughly 25 years older than her; Webby is the same age as Della's children, who are Webby's first cousins once-removed.
• Properly Paranoid: It may look like Webby was being paranoid when she attacked Funso during "Daytrip of Doom!", but since it was actually the Beagle Boys in the costume trying to kidnap the kids, it was a good thing she did that.
• Purple Is Powerful: Downplayed, her regular outfit is a combination of pink and purple shades, but Webby is much more Badass in this series.
• Raised by Grandparents: As Mrs. Beakley stated, "[She] has enough excitement caring for Webby".
• Related Differently in the Adaptation: Her relation to Mrs. Beakley is adoptive rather than biological.
• Related in the Adaptation: As opposed to the original cartoon, where Webby was really Mrs. Beakley's granddaughter, here she was created by F.O.W.L. from Scrooge's DNA, making her his biological daughter and a cousin to the rest of the Ducks.
• Roaring Rampage of Revenge: She went all-out on Magica for taking Lena away from her.
• Sacrificed Basic Skill for Awesome Training: As Louie says, her skills make her a great asset on adventures and treasure hunts, but she has no idea how to relax and be a normal kid.
• Saying Too Much: When Dewey gets cornered by Scrooge's security bot, its intruder warning starts to get a little too specific...
  "Bot": Hello intruder, you are cornered. Perhaps you shouldn't have pushed your brothers away. Maybe appreciate that fact, because certain people would do anything to have siblings. No one you know. Certain...hypothetical people.
  Dewey: (Face Palm) Webby, you can come out. [Webby opens up the bot's hatch and nervously chuckles]
• Screaming Woman: Downplayed. Webby and Lena quite understandably lapse into this trope for a second after Huey and Louie get eaten by the money shark in "Jaw$!".
• Secret-Keeper: She's the only one who knows about Dewey's quest to learn what happened to the triplets' mother and helps him with finding information.
• Sensory Overload: In "The Secret(s) of Castle McDuck!", Webby is so overwhelmed by being in the ancestral home of the McDucks that she undergoes "joy overload" and is unable to do anything but gibber incoherently. She doesn't snap out of it until they're already leaving and it'll be another five years before they can come back.
• Serious Business: In "Daytrip of Doom!" while the kids play with dart guns, Webby really gets into it. She boobytraps the hall, uses night-vision goggles, and ambushes the nephews from the ceiling. And there are no safe zones...
• Shipper on Deck: For Fenton and Gandra Dee, as she helps set up a romantic atmosphere for the couple along with Huey.
• Slipped the Ropes: During "Daytrip of Doom!" she slips from her ropes as soon as she's tied, saying that it's "being captured 101." When asked by the triplets why she kept it secret, she says it's because she felt bad that her survival instincts got them into trouble.
• The Smart Guy: Due to years of being locked up in McDuck Manor, she took up researching Scrooge's adventures as a hobby. As such, she has an almost encyclopedic knowledge about him, his adventures, and the artifacts he's found.
• So Proud of You: Beakley praises Webby for using a slipstitch net against Ma Beagle in "Daytrip of Doom!"
• Squee:
  • Her reaction to Scrooge announcing their adventure on the submarine, showing that she still retains a girly side despite being much more of a tomboy in this series.
  • Does this for the entire episode of "The Secret(s) of Castle McDuck!".
• Stalker without a Crush: She is really interested in Scrooge, to the point that he's a little weirded out.
• Stock "Yuck!": She discovers how disgusting buttermilk is in "The Golden Armory of Cornelius Coot!". That doesn't stop her from attempting to drink it (and spit it out) the second time.
• Strong and Skilled: A Pint-Sized Powerhouse who has been expertly trained by her grandmother, a retired spy.
• Strong Family Resemblance: She has the exact same basic design that every other member of the Duck/McDuck family had as a preteen, to the point that she can flawlessly imitate Dewey with nothing more than a wardrobe change.
• Suspiciously Specific Denial:
  • From "McMystery at McDuck McManor!":
    Webby: Hey, guys! Every year, I brush up on my survivor skills on a secret island-
    Beakley: Ahem!
    Webby: I-I mean, a, a, a regular island where young warriors definitely don't combat the forces of nature and each other. (a grenade rolls out of her pack; she kicks it away) Y-you know, it's girl stuff.
  • Webby tells Lena in "The Other Bin of Scrooge McDuck!" that she wasn't trying to collect a sample of Scrooge's saliva. A flask then falls off her pocket.
• Sweet Tooth: In "The House of the Lucky Gander!", she gets all excited upon seeing a chocolate fountain served at the buffet. And then in "The Impossible Summit of Mount Neverrest!", she is the first to rush into the mountain's resort town because it had a churro stand.
• Throw the Book at Them: In "The Great Dime Chase!", Dewey and Webby defend themselves against Quackfaster by throwing several books at her, the old librarian catching them all with ease.
• Token Houseguest: Webby is the only member of the main cast who isn't a part of the McDuck bloodline or on Scrooge's payroll. Eventually averted with the series finale's reveal that she was Scrooge's daughter via cloning all along.
• Tomato in the Mirror: She doesn’t take The Reveal that she’s a clone created by the F.O.W.L. as a pawn to the plan of destroying Scrooge McDuck well. She changes her tune when she discovers that her progenitor is Scrooge himself, making her his biological daughter.
• Tomboy with a Girly Streak: As said above, she is far less of a girly-girl than the original Webby, but still retains a noteworthy girly side all the same. She wears hairbows and pleated skirts, loves ponies, and admits to Dewey that part of the reason she covers her notebooks in glitter is because it makes them pretty.
• Tomboyness Upgrade: In the original series, she was very much a Girly Girl, but in this reboot, she is far more of a tomboy, albeit one with a prominent girly streak. She's an adventuring enthusiast who is the most capable in a fight of all the kids. She also has a bit of a violent edge.
• Troubling Unchildlike Behavior: She has a bit of a violent edge.
  • When the nephews arrive at McDuck Manor, she kidnaps, ties them up and interrogates them.
  • In "Daytrip of Doom!", when the kids play with dart guns, she takes it way too seriously by setting up booby traps and creating a PTSD ridden ex-Special Forces character for herself.
  • When faced with a angry store manager she seems to think that Louie indicating for her to be quiet is him telling her to attack the manager with a spork. Thankfully she doesn't go through with it.
  • She remarks she plans to break every bone in Ma Beagle's body. Or just tie her up. She's okay with either.
  • She's given a lot of thought towards how she'd like to die.
  • When the idea of starting a Scrooge McDuck fan club comes to her, her first thought is to have all the members take a blood oath. She then immediately tries to do one with Lena.
• Turn the Other Cheek: In "The Shadow War!", Webby shows no ill feelings about Scrooge for his heartbreaking words from the previous episode and is all too willing to forgive him.
• Underestimating Badassery: Invoked in "From the Confidential Casefiles of Agent 22!". Scrooge says a bunch of stuff about Webby, like her being a Damsel in Distress, to get Black Heron to underestimate her and let her guard down.
• Undying Loyalty: To Scrooge. She is his biggest fangirl, Hero-Worshipper, and staunch supporter when others begin to question him.
• Unrelated in the Adaptation: The original code name F.O.W.L. gave her was April meaning that, in addition to being Webby, she is this continuity's equivalent of April Duck, but, unlike in other adaptations, she is not related to Daisy.
• Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Thanks to her getting them kicked off the bus in "Daytrip of Doom!" the kids had to walk to Funso's Fun Zone, leading to the Beagle Boys spotting them and deciding to kidnap them.
• Waif-Fu: She may be a small grade-school aged girl, but thanks to Beakley's training, she's able to take on opponents twice her size.
• Walking Spoiler: While her general characteristics and personality is not one, her backstory is shrouded in mystery, making her this.
• Was It All a Lie?: She is crushed to learn that Lena was Magica's spy, never her friend, and a traitor. Later, however, she says she believes Lena was real to her, and that's all that matters.
• We Need a Distraction: She says this word for word in "The Last Crash of the Sunchaser!" when the kids plan to get the last piece of paper from the car without the adults finding out. They all turn to Louie.
  Louie: (weary sigh) Fine. Just follow my lead.
• What the Hell, Hero?:
  • She all but asks What Were You Thinking? in regards to Lena wanting to crash a Beagle Boys party. She also gets hurt when Lena wants her to abandon the triplets.
  • Looks both heartbroken and pissed when Scrooge yells at her that she's not part of his family, although she later seems to feel sorry for him having to leave him all alone in the mansion.
  • She glares at Louie for not being able to pay them due to using up all the money they earned and sending Storkules into a Heroic BSoD.
• What You Are in the Dark: In "The Beagle Birthday Massacre!", after leaving unnoticed by the triplets because of Dewey and Louie fighting and Huey trying to stop it, Lena tries to persuade Webby to abandon them, citing them leaving her to go boat riding, but Webby stays to come up with a plan.
