[[caption-width-right:350: "You kids are nothing but trouble...curse me kilts, have I ''missed'' trouble!"]]
->'''Voiced By''': Creator/DavidTennant
->''"I'm Scrooge [=McDuck=]! I made my name by being tougher than the toughies and smarter than the smarties! And I made my money square!"''
Duckburg's (and the world's) richest duck. Once a world famous adventurer Scrooge has seemingly retired, but the arrival of his nephew Donald and great-nephews Huey, Dewey and Louie has resparked his old ambitions.
----
* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: The Spear of Selene incident which both estranged him from Donald and led him to give up adventuring for a decade.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Much like the original cartoon, Scrooge's greedy miser persona and more immoral qualities are noticeably toned down here:
** In the original comics, he became estranged from his family because he became too greedy and ruthless -- before the events of "Christmas on Bear Mountain", Donald had only met Scrooge once before as a child -- the day he severed ties with Hortense and Matilda. Here it's implied he never became ''that'' greedy [[note]]According to WordOfGod, Scrooge is more addicted to adventure than money in this iteration[[/note]] as he seems to have been on good terms with his family especially Donald .... before the Spear of Selene.
** At the end of the pilot, Scrooge brings back The Jewel of Atlantis, which he offers as a source of clean energy to power all of Duckburg for the next fifty years, provided [[PragmaticHero they sign up]] with [=McDuck=] Water and Electric. This establishes Scrooge, while still vain and money-minded, as interested in cultivating [[SlaveToPR a philanthropic public image]], which he otherwise never attempted to do before.
** Likewise, in ''The Great Dime Chase'', Scrooge defends his employees against a board of directors who want to lay them off for better corporate management and downsizing. Scrooge in the comics tended to be shown as an exploitative boss who hired cheap because he could get them to do dangerous jobs for little pay and zero insurance (and his bringing along his family for adventures was often little more than press-ganging them as cheap free labour as it was for family bonding), but his defending his employees (who are made eccentric and more or less unemployable in anybody else's eyes) makes him come off as a BenevolentBoss.
* AdaptationExpansion: One of the common criticisms of Scrooge was that his PooledFunds could never be swam in, and that realistically he would hit the surface as though it were the ground. The new series gets around this by having the ability to [[ExtraOreDinary swim in gold]] as a power unique to him (and one he's famous for in-universe, for that matter) while all other characters follow normal physics and must walk on it.
* BackInTheSaddle: He stopped his adventuring sometime before the series starts, but the triplets galvanize him into deciding to get back into the action.
* BadassGrandpa: He might be old, but that doesn't stop him from being a skilled adventurer.
* BenevolentBoss: Despite being grumpy he's a rather nice boss despite his employees' many faults and wouldn't hear twice about firing them even if it meant saving costs by downsizing his company (i.e Scrooge won't lay off his employees):
** He keeps Launchpad despite the fact he's a horrible driver -- and once payed for his hospital bill when he ate too many hotdogs.
** Gyro is very brilliant but also very rude to just everyone -- but Scrooge's reaction is to just gently remind to be polite to others.
* BerserkButton: He has several:
** ''Don't'' tell him he "used to be a big deal".
** Never insinuate he's uncaring towards his family.
** Trying to blame him for the Spear of Selene isn't a good idea either.
*** Della Duck. He's effectively unpersoned her by hiding every picture of her and belonging she had hidden away in a secret room in his archives. According to Webby, some junkmail for her showed up at the mansion, so Scrooge bought the post office and arranged it so the unlucky post man never came again. [[spoiler: The fact she stole the Spear of Selene might have something to do with it.]]
** Laziness and mooching set him off too -- Louie found that out first-hand.
** Question his business expenses or the necessity of his staff? He will go into very angry rants on why they are necessary.
* BoringButPractical: While he's still got a number of fancy maneuvers, he prefers to avoid unnecessary road bumps and complications on his expeditions, such as trying to go around three dangerous locations on the journey to {{Atlantis}}. Given that one of his mantras is "Work smarter, not harder," this isn't necessarily a surprise.
* BraveScot: You can't become a capitalist adventurer without this trope.
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: Apparently the only reason he can [[PooledFunds dive into his money bin]] is because he spent years upping his muscle strength and dexterity.
* CollectorOfTheStrange: He has amassed a lot of artifacts in his years of adventuring before the Triplets arrive. Setting off the spooky artifacts in his ''garage'' drives most of the action of the first half of the pilot.
* CoolOldGuy: Switches between this and GrumpyOldMan, depending on the circumstances. But, as this trope, he's an experienced explorer who takes the four main children on daring adventures. He also takes a shine towards hiring a bunch of lunatics and eccentrics.
* CrazyPrepared: He spends a lot of money on magical defenses:
--> '''Scrooge [=McDuck=]''': "Do you have any idea how many vengeance curses I have on my head?"
* DefrostingIceKing: He's very grumpy and antisocial in the first half of the premiere. He cheers up considerably during the second half.
* DoWrongRight: After the kids inadvertently awaken several ancient evils and almost get him killed ''twice'', Scrooge concludes that the kids are nothing but trouble... and boy has he ''missed'' trouble. He then figures that he should teach them how to get into trouble ''properly'', and invites them in on his adventures.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: The triplets gush about the many past exploits of "the most exciting duck of all time!" followed by a DescriptionCut of Scrooge himself looking bored to death at a tedious business meeting regarding the actual running of his corporate empire, showing that while Scrooge is a [[SelfMadeMan self-made millionaire]], he doesn't enjoy the actual business of making money as much as he enjoys adventuring. Yet, he's retired from and dearly misses his adventuring days.
** After HesBack, he defeats a ghost pirate that the kids accidentally released in less than a minute.
-->'''Scrooge:''' Oi beastie! What's it gonna take to shuffle you off to the afterlife?
-->'''Ghost Pirate:''' The head of Scrooge [=McDuck=]!
-->'''Scrooge:''' ''(in a tone that just screams BringIt)'' [[PreAssKickingOneLiner Would you settle for his hat?]]
* ExperiencedProtagonist: He's already a master explorer by the time the story starts.
* GentlemanAdventurer: Well, "Adventure Capitalist" since he's a SelfMadeMan, but the trope still applies since he's extremely wealthy and ''could'' live in wealth and luxury if he wanted to, but he prefers to be InHarmsWay.
* {{Greed}}: Actually downplayed despite it being one his most defining traits -- at most it's played for laughs. His Xanadu-like mansion would've been considered a frivolous waste by his comic counterpart. Perhaps a case of SocietyMarchesOn ever since 2008 when the Great Recession hit and income inequality became a hot button issue.
* GrumpyBear: Before the triplets come to his life, he was pretty much what you'd expect from someone named Scrooge. At the end of the first episode, he's back to his adventurous - if not reckless - positive self.
* HonestCorporateExecutive: He prides himself on making his fortune square, unlike [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Glomgold]]. At the end of the pilot, he offers the Jewel of Atlantis as a clean source of renewable energy for Duckburg on behalf of his company.
* JerkassFacade: For a man who claims that "family is nothing but trouble" he'll do anything to protect them when they're in danger.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's not the nicest guy even to people he likes, but he ''will'' protect you no matter what.
* LonelyAtTheTop: He's the richest duck in the world but he's unmarried and childless at an age when he should be surrounded by grandkids. His only family is his estranged nephew and his grand-nephews with whom he has no contact until the start of the series.
* MadeOfIron: Honestly, Uncle Scrooge would have been ''dead'' by the time the First Episode was halfway through were it not for this trope.
-->'''Scrooge (Clutching onto Flying Dragon's Back):''' HA HA~~!! It'll take more than some fancy flyin' to shake ol' Scrooge you cash cannibal!
-->(Dragon CRASHES through multiple buildings.... )
-->'''Scrooge: (Covered in cuts, contusions and deshivelled feathers):''' Wheeze.... [[CrowningMomentOfFunny It'll take more than a... bruised spine]] to shake ol' Scrooge.... ye... [[TheNeverEndingStory bad dragon dog ye!]]
* MessOfWoe: His mansion and especially his garage have this element before the triplets get him back in action; jewels are lying in an apple bowl, rooms lie empty while vast treasures rest in his garage, and a general air of sadness pervades the mansion until the kids start to help clean up.
* NiceHat: Like previous adaptations, Scrooge wears his black top hat.
* NoHeroToHisValet: Both Mrs. Beakley and Donald have known the real Scrooge, who in addition to being a rich, hard-working, intelligent man, is also exploitative, insensitive, and demanding. That said, they know he has a noble side to him.
-->'''Mrs. Beakley:''' [To Webby] Dear, you are safer in a sunken city with Scrooge [=McDuck=] than you are locked in a vault in Fort Knox.
* NotSoDifferent: Scrooge and Donald do ''not'' get along, but both of them have one thing in common - they ''loathe Gladstone Gander's very existence'' because while Scrooge has earned every penny and Donald's had a rough go of life, Gladstone just glides through life doing bugger all and getting everything.
* ParentalSubstitute: It's implied Scrooge was like a father figure for both Donald and Della.
* PooledFunds: Obviously. Scrooge diving into his money bin is the page pic for this trope.
* RedIsHeroic: As in the original comics, his outfit is red.
* RichBoredom: When he's not adventuring, his life is shown to be this. The actual, tedious business of running his corporate empire is shown to bore him to tears, and his life in [=McDuck=] Manor is one of isolation and loneliness.
* ScrewDestiny: Scrooge has a lot of vengeance curses on his head, none of them have come to pass since he spends a lot on magical defenses.
* TheScrooge: Downplayed and played for laughs. He uses a flip-phone while everyone (even the perpetually unemployed Donald) uses more expensive smartphones. (That being said, it's still a ''golden'' flip-phone.) His idea of a "gift" for the triplets is a bag of marbles that they have to return when they leave (He's counted them). He also uses a Promethean Candle rather than buy new candles for birthday cakes each year. This is in direct contrast to the original series, where the first episode spent a good five minutes showcasing how cheap Scrooge was.
** "The Great Dime Chase" has Scrooge's Board of Directors actually deconstruct just how much Scrooge isn't TheScrooge, given that despite his cheapness in many things he actually spends a lot of money and resources on some things that he doesn't really have to.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: As seen in [[http://animationfantic.tumblr.com/post/164154335596/fergus-and-downy-mcduck-scrooges-parents this]] family picture, Scrooge looks a lot like his father.
* ThriftyScot: ''The'' thrifty Scot.
* ThrillSeeker: His most defining trait in this continuity. The hum drums of running a financial empire ''bores'' him to death, but the kids' efforts to stop and save him from the dragon give him a new lease of life. Donald, however, does ''not'' approve, calling his uncle a "crazy old man" who "only cares about his next adventure". That said Scrooge does ''not'' believe in putting himself or others in unnecessary danger if it can be avoided.
* TradeYourPassionForGlory: He's a great adventurer and a wealthy businessman but it's clear that being an adventurer is what he enjoys doing and he's totally silent and glum on hearing from his accounts that he should downsize the parts of the company dedicated to historical research and making experimental equipment (such as the submarine he and Launchpad use to find Atlantis).
* ViolentGlaswegian: He's from Glasgow and you do '''not''' want to mess with him.
* WeaponOfChoice: His hooked cane, much like in the original show and comics, Scrooge is shown able to walk perfectly fine without it and it seems to be more accessory than need. In a fight, you can bet he will be putting the cane to use in kicking butt.

[[caption-width-right:350: "Can I trust you to watch the boys without ''losing them''?"]]
->'''Voiced By''': Tony Anselmo
A once great adventurer turned Mother Duck whose need for a job is constantly weighed down by his worry for his nephews and their mischief.
----
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Probably one of the least selfish interpretations of the character. Even in the context of the original comics, he's now an overprotective father-figure instead of an [[AbusiveParents abusive parent]] with anger issues. The same goes with his counterpart in the original series.
* AdaptationDistillation: He's recognizable as the Donald of the classic cartoons, complete with fighting stance, irritability, and being a PerpetualFrowner but he also retains many of the more noble qualities from Creator/CarlBarks' stories.
* AlliterativeName: '''D'''onald '''D'''uck.
* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: Some family pictures in his phone imply this, particularly one of them at the "Grand Canyon... display at the grocery store." Said picture involves Donald cheerfully climbing on the display, with the boys looking embarrassed to be seen in public with him.
* AngstySurvivingTwin: It's implied that he cut off ties with Scrooge because of what happened to his twin sister, Della Duck, in an incident involving the Spear of Selene. The nephews are Della's children.
* AscendedExtra: Donald only appeared in the pilot and select episodes of the original series, it's evident that he'll be sticking with his family this time around, as he did in the original comics. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6YwF3KGIjQ One promo quite literally puts him front and center.]]
* BornUnlucky: Donald seems to exemplify FinaglesLaw, to the point of being a ButtMonkey.
* ButtMonkey: As with any continuity Donald's luck just causes him more and more trouble, which is only worsened by his short fuse. It's also deconstructed, showing that Donald's bad luck and temper keep him from holding a steady job that can keep the boys safe, and it makes him an overprotective parent because he knows all the sorts of things that can happen to someone with his misfortune. The only time it seems to fade away is when he's doing dangerous adventuring, and when he's trying to protect someone else.
* ComplexityAddiction: A consequence of his bad luck and his bad temper is he makes stuff too complicated for himself, as evidenced by his adjustment with Beakley in his first week at Scrooge's. The gag where he orders a battery of generators to power his houseboat as it floats on a swimming pool is classic Donald.
* CompositeCharacter: Shows some traits with Fenton Crackshell from the original -- a similar suit and the same profession, being an accountant -- well Donald ''wants'' to be one anyway (WordOfGod is that there's a deleted scene from the pilot stating that Donald for accredited thanks to an online college).
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: He really is every bit the [[HairTriggerTemper hair-trigger]], [[MyBelovedSmother neurotically overprotective]], and bumbling surrogate parental figure the triplets see him as. That doesn't keep him from being the badass and quick-witted adventurer that Webby knows him as when the time calls for it. He switches easily between the classic animated Donald and the comic book Donald sometimes mid-scene.
* DoWrongRight: As part of his cover as one of Glomgold's minions, he justifies preventing the deaths of the protagonists by saying "if they're dead now, they can't be tortured later."
** At the end of the pilot he concedes that the boys will get into trouble no matter what he does, so he asks Scrooge to teach them how to get ''out'' of trouble.
* DotingParent: He still keeps baby pictures of the nephews on his phone.
* GoodParents: Despite being way too overprotective, it's made very clear that Donald loves his nephews as if they were his own sons and his main concern is finding a stable and steady job to support them.
* HairTriggerTemper: Wouldn't be Donald Duck without his famous temper.
* HiddenDepths: The position Donald was applying for at Glomgold Industries was an accountant. According to WordOfGod, there's a cutscene where he states that he became accredited via an internet college.
* IJustWantToBeNormal: He has no desire to go back to adventuring and just wants a normal stable job to support his nephews. Unfortunately for him, living with Scrooge kind of puts a damper on that.
* JerkassHasAPoint:
** In the first issue of the tie-in comic Donald loses his temper and runs his tour boat aground when he attacks a customer. However, it's hard to hold it against him because said customer tries to take over as a tour guide, even knocking Donald out of the way to start steering.
** In the pilot episode, Donald calls out Scrooge for taking the boys on a dangerous adventure when he, Scrooge and Dewey are trapped in a rapidly flooding room in Atlantis. He's completely correct; while the boys may be more capable than Donald thinks they are, Scrooge had promised to keep them safe for a couple of hours.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Overbearing and hot-tempered, but he is ''devoted'' to his nephews and is a pretty decent fellow.
* LetsGetDangerous: While he may get hurt, Donald will leap into action if someone or something threatens his nephews. Best shown in the pilot when he uses a shield to protect an impulsive Dewey from a booby trap in Atlantis.
* MusclesAreMeaningless: Donald has a small build, but that doesn't stop him from taking on, and taking out, much larger opponents. [[PapaWolf Especially if they menace his family.]]
* MyBelovedSmother: A rare male example. Donald is super safety conscious when it comes to the boys, to the point he won't even let them walk around the houseboat without a life vest.
* {{Nephewism}}: It is implied that Scrooge was like a father to Donald and his sister Della growing up. The fact that [[WordOfGod their parents passed away many years ago]] likely had something to do with it.
* NervousWreck: Being chronically unemployed and raising three highly adventurous and mischievous kids has taken its toll on the poor guy.
* NoodleIncident: At one point he and Scrooge start arguing about an incident with the "Spear of Selene."
* PapaWolf: Wherever his three nephews are concerned.
** In the theme song, while Scrooge is driving the family through a raging storm, he shoves a life jacket onto the three of them before pirates abduct him.
** In the first episode when he, Dewey, and Scrooge are stuck in flooding treasure room, Donald starts trying to plug leaks all the leaks he can (and gets stuck in one) while Dewey is sitting on a floating chest. Donald doesn't stop or even try to free himself until Dewey convinces him that [[ItMakesSenseInContext they're better off letting the room flood]]. Donald's willing to ''drown'' if it means buying Dewey a little more time.
** In "Daytrip of Doom," the second he learns that the Beagle Boys have taken the nephews hostage in an attempt to ransom them, he flies into UnstoppableRage and attacks Burger and Bouncer, both of whom are larger, and Bouncer clearly more muscular. [[MusclesAreMeaningless They fail to stand a chance against him.]]
* ParentalSubstitute: He's the triplets' Uncle, but may as well be a Single Dad as far as all four of them are concerned.
* RetiredBadass: Even more so than Scrooge, who still exhibits trinkets and trophies from his adventuring days. Donald has no such relics and never told his nephews about his past as "one of the most daring adventurers of all time", and as bad as his present life is, doesn't seem to miss it.
* RoleReprisal: Tony Anselmo is once again voicing Donald, after having inherited the role over 30 years ago.
* VocalEvolution: Donald's voice is a lot more comprehensible this time around. The original ''[=DuckTales=]'' was made only three years into Tony Anselmo's tenure as Donald, so he was still new to the voice and hadn't quite found his footing with it. Thirty years later, and Anselmo's Donald has long since come into its own.

[[folder:Hubert "Huey" Duck]]
[[quoteright:236:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dt2017___huey.png]]
[[caption-width-right:236: "Junior Woodchuck Guidebook, you truly have the answer for everything!"]]
->'''Voiced By''': Creator/DannyPudi
The oldest and most responsible triplet. He likes red.
----
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: In the previous adaptation, while Huey and his brothers did care for Webby, they also treated her as an AnnoyingYoungerSibling and ''hated'' spending time with her because of her being feminine. Here, he and his brothers treat her with respect and enjoy her companionship with no problems with her gender.
* {{Adorkable}}: Becomes utterly giddy during the submarine ride when he brings snacks, a collection of sea shanties and T-shirts.
* BadLiar: Going with his more upstanding personality he is shown to be a very bad liar, almost as bad as Webby.
-->'''Donald:''' ''(Suspiciously)'' Where's Dewey?\\
'''Louie:''' Sleeping!\\
'''Huey:''' [[ImplausibleDeniability Who's Dewey?]]
* CharacterExaggeration: Of the triplets, he's the one whose character most resembles their shared personality in the comics, particularly Don Rosa's interpretation of them: He's an upbeat, helpful and generally morally-upstanding guy (who nevertheless isn't above the occasional delve into mischief) he's a clear SmartGuy who values knowledge, history, and research, and he's a dedicated and hyper-resourceful Junior Woodchuck. However, compared to the Nephews' comic counterparts, these traits have been exaggerated to comical and {{Adorkable}} extremes.
* CharacterTics: Huey tends to clench his fists/arms together.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment:
** Cooks Donald breakfast and starts to iron his suit for his job interview, showing how responsible and helpful he is. However, he's also in on Dewey and Louie's plan to sneak off while Donald is away, showing he's not above dabbling in a little mischief. However, unlike Louie, [[BadLiar he's not as good at covering his tracks about it]].
** During their gush about Scrooge's adventures in the beginning of "Woo-ooh!", each sibling shares what they've heard of his tales, and what they admire most about him. For Huey, it was Scrooge uncovering the truth about the Chubacabra, showing his admiration for wit and mysteries.
* TheDutifulSon: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. He's the most responsible of the triplets but will go along with their mischievous actions.
* FourTemperamentEnsemble: Forms this with his brothers and Webby, he is the Melancholic (analytical and organized).
* IdenticalTwinIDTag: Triplet ID Tag, in this case; he wears a red T-shirt and is the only one of the triplets to still wear a baseball cap.
* ItRunsInTheFamily: Each of the siblings inherit a trait from Scrooge. Huey enjoys solving mysteries and uses intelligence above all else, much like Scrooge.
* TheLeader: A per usual he's the leader of the nephews and Webby, due to being the oldest and knack for quick thinking and organization.
* LethalChef: Heavily implied in the pilot. His attempt at cooking Donald a big good-luck breakfast of fried egg and fish ends with the fish 'leaking' a rather unpleasant looking green substance and the egg yolk oozing over the whole thing. Donald, naturally, is not incredibly eager to eat it.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: He and Louie are the only Duck triplets who are not investigating their mother's past.
* MeaningfulName: Hubert means "bright mind" when translated from German. With his knowledge and optimism, Huey's mind is "bright" for two reasons.
* {{Nephewism}}: Huey and his brothers have been raised and cared for by their Uncle Donald all of their lives.
* NiceHat: He's the only one of the triplets who still wears a baseball cap (red, of course) as they did in the original series and other media.
* RedIsHeroic: He's the unofficial leader of the triplets, and wears red.
* ScheduleFanatic: Plans out an entire itinerary for the group's submarine voyage, which Dewey considers lame.
* TheSmartGuy: The most knowledgeable and resourceful of the triplets.
* TheTeamNormal: Louis is a wannabe hustler, Dewey wavers between MiddleChildSyndrome and constantly curious, Huey, by contrast, is a little generic.
* TokenGoodTeammate: Easily the nicest of the triplets and always willing to lend a hand. While he might not be as good as the other two at lying and in getting into mischief he is great at leading the way out.

[[folder:Dewford "Dewey" Duck]]
[[quoteright:273:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dewey.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:237: "That sounds like a challenge!"]]
->'''Voiced By''': Ben Schwartz
The middle child, and like any good middle child he is out to prove himself. He likes blue.
----
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: In the previous adaptation, while Dewey and his brothers did care for Webby, they also treated her as an AnnoyingYoungerSibling and ''hated'' spending time with her because of her being feminine. Here, he and his brothers treat her with respect and enjoy her companionship with no problems with her gender. Dewey especially takes a shine to Webby and insists on bringing her along to Funso's and later confides in Webby about his interest in his mother.
* AdaptationNameChange: His full name here is Dewford. In the comics, it was Deuteronomy. It was probably changed since his original name is definitely out there.
* AlliterativeName: '''D'''ewford '''D'''uck. Also applies when using his more well-known nickname, "Dewey".
* BlueIsHeroic: Wears blue and aspires a brave, daring adventure like his great uncle.
* ConstantlyCurious: Dewey has an eye for details and picking up cues, and is the one leading the mystery [[spoiler:of what happened to his mother Della Duck]].
* {{Deuteragonist}}: Seems to be shaping up as this, being the most active triplet, having the most CharacterDevelopment in the premier (and is tied for most with Scrooge's CharacterDevelopment as well), and kicks off the MythArc with his discovery during the WhamShot.
-->'''Dewey''': Classic Scrooge/Dewey banter. The seasoned-but-tired explorer PassingTheTorch to his cocky young successor.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment:
** In the pilot episode, Dewey is introduced hot-wiring the family houseboat so he and his brothers can go for a joyride, showing his daring, adventurous personality. However, he neglects to make sure Donald has left first and consequently gets caught, which makes it apparent that he's too impulsive for his own good.
** During their gush about Scrooges adventures in the beginning of "Woo-ooh!", each sibling shares what they've heard of his tales, and what they admire most about him. For Dewey, it was slaying a RockMonster and carving a statue of himself out of its leg, demonstrating both his desire for physical adventure and his lust for glory.
* FearlessFool: In his thirst for adventure, and his intense desire to be noticed as an individual and not just one-of-three-brothers, he'll take any risk and rush headfirst into danger even after he's been explicitly and repeatedly told why this is a bad idea.
* FourTemperamentEnsemble: Forms this with his brothers and Webby, he is the Choleric (passionate and strong-willed).
* HiddenDepths: So far he's the most sensitive and mature of the triplets.
* IdenticalTwinIDTag: Triplet ID tag in this case; he wears a blue T-shirt with a lighter blue long-sleeved shirt underneath. He also has a different hairstyle from his brothers, sticking up from the top of his head instead of the front.
* IJustWantToBeSpecial: Being the middle child of the triplets, Dewey is desperate to stand out. This is why he latches onto the idea of becoming Scrooge's "successor" in adventuring.
* ItRunsInTheFamily: Each of the siblings inherit a trait from Scrooge. What Dewey inherits is his addiction to adventure, and also his concern for his family. Not so much his caution and reason.
* JumpedAtTheCall: While all of the kids are excited to join Scrooge on a voyage to Atlantis, Dewey is the one who runs right into the city and ahead of Scrooge without any concern for what dangers lie ahead.
* LeeroyJenkins: He has the habit of intentionally running into danger, such as navigating the submarine through a sea full of monsters and crossing a rope bridge with laser-triggered fire traps as a self-imposed challenge.
* MiddleChildSyndrome: The middle child of the triplets and wants to prove himself because of this.
* {{Nephewism}}: Dewey and his brothers have been raised and cared for by their Uncle Donald all of their lives.
* SherlockScan: He's quite observant when it comes to his surroundings, like when he realizes which is the real Jewel of Atlantis in "Woo-oo!" and notices that some of the books in Scrooge's private library were purposely out of order on the shelves in "The Great Dime Chase".
* SuicidalOverconfidence: A byproduct of being the FearlessFool.
* ThrillSeeker: If there's a path that leads to danger and adventure he is sure to take the most dangerous route.
* WellDoneSonGuy: Of the Triplets, Dewey is the guy who most visibly seeks some form of parental validation from both Donald and Scrooge. The former is a perpetual worrywart and the latter is a GrumpyOldMan and Dewey is a little miffed at first [[spoiler:but at the end of "Woo-oo!" both of them respect him]].

[[folder:Louis "Louie" Duck]]
[[quoteright:298:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dt2017___louie.png]]
[[caption-width-right:298: "Eh."]]
->'''Voiced By''': Bobby Moynihan
The youngest triplet, he isn't bothered by much and just likes going along for the ride. He likes green.
----
* AdaptationalJerkass: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. While he is kinder in this adaptation (see AdaptationalNiceGuy below), he is also lazy, bratty, greedy as well as a liar and cheater, none of which personality traits he had in the original show.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: In the previous adaptation, while Louie and his brothers did care for Webby, they also treated her as an AnnoyingYoungerSibling and ''hated'' spending time with her because of her being feminine. Here, he and his brothers treat her with respect and enjoy her companionship with no problems with her gender. Louie, in particular, takes her under his wing in regards to how to lie properly.
* AttentionDeficitOhShiny: In "The Great Dime Chase", when he looks up how to open a locked door, he gets distracted by an advertisement for the TV show "Ottoman Empire".
* TheBabyOfTheBunch: The youngest of his brothers.
* BrilliantButLazy: He's clever like Huey, but he's largely unmotivated, preferring to mooch off people - the show's EyeCatch even has him break the fourth wall and ask viewers to come do his chores for him during the commercial break. One of the three intertwining plots of ''The Great Dime Chase!'' has Scrooge trying to teach him the value of hard and honest work.
* TheCharmer: He's very good at flattering people and has no problem using it for his own personal reasons.
* DeadpanSnarker: Makes many dry, sarcastic remarks.
* DoWrongRight: When he learns Webby didn't tell Mrs. Beakley that she went on a journey with him, his brothers, and Scrooge, he admonishes her... for not at least ''lying'' about where she was going.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment:
** Tosses away Donald's sailor suit and forces him to wear a jacket and tie for his job interview, telling him to "dress for the job he wants, not the job he has, which is no job" showing his sarcasm and lax morals but also his good heart. Then when Donald asks where Dewey is, he easily lies through his teeth and gets mad at Huey for being a BadLiar.
** During their gush about Scrooges adventures in the beginning of "Woo-ooh!", each sibling shares what they've heard of his tales, and what they admire most about him and the simple fact that Scrooge is so rich he can swim in his PooledFunds is enough to excite him.
* EvilTwin: PlayedForLaughs. When Webby asks which one of the triplets is evil, Huey and Dewey immediately point to Louie... who doesn't even try to defend himself and instead shrugs and gives an agreeable "eh."
* FourTemperamentEnsemble: Forms this with his brothers and Webby, he is the Phlegmatic (reserved and lazy).
* {{Greed}}: Louie is pretty obsessed with wealth. When they find Scrooge's treasures, he puts green labels on them to mark which ones he will get when Scrooge eventually passes and the comic adaptation features him doing several schemes to make money.
* HighSchoolHustler: He's not yet in high school but he already has this act. His antics at the start of the "Great Dime Chase" also mark him as a slacker.
* IdenticalTwinIDTag: Triplet ID tag, in this case; he wears a green hoodie.
* ItRunsInTheFamily: Each of the siblings inherit a trait from Scrooge. Like Scrooge, Louie has a love of money and riches, despite not being as much of an honest, hard-worker as his Great Uncle. His schmoozing and ability to charm people to do his job for him also shows parts of Scrooge's exploitative cheapskate nature and that Louie also believes in "work smarter not harder" albeit by being smart enough to not work at all (which was not Scrooge's message at all).
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's greedy, money-grubbing and rather lax when it comes to morals, but despite being labeled the "evil triplet" he's not actually a bad guy.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: He and Huey are the only Duck triplets who are not investigating their mother's past.
* {{Nephewism}}: Louie and his brothers have been raised and cared for by their Uncle Donald all of their lives.
* NotSoStoic: In normal circumstances, he affects a laid-back, carefree attitude. But when Webby ties up the triplets, Louie actually ''starts crying''.
* TokenEvilTeammate: The other triplets insist he's the evil one, an assertion he merely shrugs at. While it's mostly an InformedFlaw presently, it is worth noting he's the one who teaches Webby about lying. In the tie-in comics, he kept swindling people out of money in order to get the help he didn't provide.
* ToxicFriendInfluence: He frequently tries to teach Webby skills like lying, schmoozing with people to get free stuff, and cutting corners with buying things.
-->'''Louie''': "Lying: it's the ''responsible'' thing to do!"
* TheSlacker: His laziness annoys Scrooge greatly. At the start of episode 3, he's chugging cans of Pep Soda while watching TV, taken to calling Beakley by cell while still in the mansion and more or less puts on a couch potato act before Scrooge.

->'''Voiced By''': Kate Micucci
The granddaughter of Mrs. Beakley who is a huge fan of the [=McDuck=] family and happy to finally have friends.
----
* ActionGirl: Learned "everything she knows" from her grandmother, including how to fight.
* AdaptationalBadass: In the previous series, she was just the TagalongKid who had a tendency to get into a lot of danger. Here, her saying Mrs. Beakley "taught her how [[MartialArts to take care of herself]]" is a massive {{understatement}}.
* AdaptationDyeJob: 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.
* {{Adorkable}}: Hopelessly socially awkward, but endearingly so. She's never had any real friends before the triplets came along, due to her granny never letting her leave [=McDuck=] Manor.
* AffectionateNickname: "Dear" from her grandmother.
* AgeLift: In the previous series, Webby was younger than the triplets. Here, while it's not stated how old she is, she's at least around the same age as them.
* AmbiguousDisorder: She has a few quirks that are often symptoms of Borderline Personality Disorder, including a tendency to be aggressive and violent, being anxious in unfamiliar environments, and being unable to pick up on social cues.
* AscendedExtra: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. While Webby was a central character in the original series, in ''this'' adaptation, she is now a main protagonist.
* AscendedFangirl: A ''huge'' fan of the famous [=McDuck=] family and is now friends/adventuring buddies with them.
* BadassAdorable: A cute child, ''huge'' fangirl of the [=McDuck=] family, and an expert in taking down grown adults who are masters at swordsmanship.
* BadLiar: Her attempts to lie to her grandmother in the pilot are laughable at best.
-->"Hi, Granny, I'm at a friend's house so there's nothing to worry about! Bye!"
** In "Daytrip of Doom", Louie once again tries to get her to lie to latch some free soda of a friendly waitress, but Webby screws it up and ends up ruining the entire scheme.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: She's a sweet kid, but will kick your butt if you mess with her and the ones she's close to.
* ChewingTheScenery: The first scene of episode 3 has Webby do an overly immersive performance in a Nerf-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 LetsGetDangerous 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 GunsAkimbo; 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:''' [[PreMortemOneLiner This is no foyer...this is ''a tomb.'']]
-->''(Uncle Scrooge is walking down the hall as Huey's shot offscreen)''
-->'''Huey:''' (offscreen) Ahhh! My Tailbone!
-->'''Scrooge:''' [[ActuallyPrettyFunny (chuckling at Webby's dialogue)]] "A tomb."
* CrazyPrepared: Is a product of this. Mrs. Beakley trained her to be "prepared for anything," which explains her GadgeteerGenius 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.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: In the pilot episode, 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.
* {{Fangirl}}: Of Scrooge [=McDuck=] and his entire family, particularly Donald Duck. Her first question when she meets the triplets is what Donald is really like, and later she refers to Donald as one of the greatest adventurers of all time.
* {{Foil}}: To the triplets. All four of them were raised by an overprotective guardian, but while the triplets grew up to well-adjusted, Webby became socially impaired.
* FourTemperamentEnsemble: Forms this with the triplets, she is the Sanguine (cheerful and energetic).
* GadgeteerGenius: Seems to have a knack for setting traps, such as her EstablishingCharacterMoment lassoing the twins and hanging them upside down, and the elaborate traps she sets up for the triplets while playing with dart guns in the "Daytrip of Doom!" sneak peak.
* GenkiGirl: 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.
* GoMadFromTheIsolation: 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.
* HairDecorations: Has a bow on the right side of her hair.
* HiddenDepths: She can play the cello.
* IconicItem: Has two -- Her NightVisionGoggles and GrapplingHookPistol.
* IJustWantToHaveFriends: 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.
* LonelyRichKid: Well, she's not rich, but she lives in a giant mansion all by herself and the triplets seem to be her [[FriendlessBackground first friends ever]].
* MundaneLuxury: 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.
* MundaneMadeAwesome: 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.
* MusclesAreMeaningless: She's a skinny girl around 10-years-old, but has proven to be stronger than she looks.
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: 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.
* NoSocialSkills: Before she met the nephews she never had any friends. So she's a bit ... overeager in her social skills.
* OddNameOut: Of the main characters, Webby is the only one with her last name not being of relation to the [=McDuck=]/Duck family.
* PlatonicLifePartners: WordOfGod has stated that this is as far as she'll go with any of the triplets. NoHuggingNoKissing, they'll be strictly friends only.
* RaisedByGrandparents: As Mrs. Beakley stated, "[She] has enough excitement caring for Webby".
* SacrificedBasicSkillForAwesomeTraining: As Huey 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.
* TheSmartGuy: 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.
* {{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.
* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: 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 and admits to Dewey that part of the reason she covers her notebooks in glitter is because it makes them pretty.
* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: She has a bit of a violent edge.
** When the nephews arrive at [=McDuck=] Manor, she kidnaps, ties them up and interrogates them.
** In another episode, 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 fork. Thankfully she doesn't got 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.
* WeaponOfChoice: She makes frequent use of 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.''

[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/scrooge_mcduck_ducktales_2017.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:350: "You kids are nothing but trouble...curse me kilts, have I ''missed'' trouble!"]]
->'''Voiced By''': Creator/DavidTennant
->''"I'm Scrooge [=McDuck=]! I made my name by being tougher than the toughies and smarter than the smarties! And I made my money square!"''
Duckburg's (and the world's) richest duck. Once a world famous adventurer Scrooge has seemingly retired, but the arrival of his nephew Donald and great-nephews Huey, Dewey and Louie has resparked his old ambitions.
----
* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: The Spear of Selene incident which both estranged him from Donald and led him to give up adventuring for a decade.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Much like the original cartoon, Scrooge's greedy miser persona and more immoral qualities are noticeably toned down here:
** In the original comics, he became estranged from his family because he became too greedy and ruthless -- before the events of "Christmas on Bear Mountain", Donald had only met Scrooge once before as a child -- the day he severed ties with Hortense and Matilda. Here it's implied he never became ''that'' greedy [[note]]According to WordOfGod, Scrooge is more addicted to adventure than money in this iteration[[/note]] as he seems to have been on good terms with his family especially Donald .... before the Spear of Selene.
** At the end of the pilot, Scrooge brings back The Jewel of Atlantis, which he offers as a source of clean energy to power all of Duckburg for the next fifty years, provided [[PragmaticHero they sign up]] with [=McDuck=] Water and Electric. This establishes Scrooge, while still vain and money-minded, as interested in cultivating [[SlaveToPR a philanthropic public image]], which he otherwise never attempted to do before.
** Likewise, in ''The Great Dime Chase'', Scrooge defends his employees against a board of directors who want to lay them off for better corporate management and downsizing. Scrooge in the comics tended to be shown as an exploitative boss who hired cheap because he could get them to do dangerous jobs for little pay and zero insurance (and his bringing along his family for adventures was often little more than press-ganging them as cheap free labour as it was for family bonding), but his defending his employees (who are made eccentric and more or less unemployable in anybody else's eyes) makes him come off as a BenevolentBoss.
* AdaptationExpansion: One of the common criticisms of Scrooge was that his PooledFunds could never be swam in, and that realistically he would hit the surface as though it were the ground. The new series gets around this by having the ability to [[ExtraOreDinary swim in gold]] as a power unique to him (and one he's famous for in-universe, for that matter) while all other characters follow normal physics and must walk on it.
* BackInTheSaddle: He stopped his adventuring sometime before the series starts, but the triplets galvanize him into deciding to get back into the action.
* BadassGrandpa: He might be old, but that doesn't stop him from being a skilled adventurer.
* BenevolentBoss: Despite being grumpy he's a rather nice boss despite his employees' many faults and wouldn't hear twice about firing them even if it meant saving costs by downsizing his company (i.e Scrooge won't lay off his employees):
** He keeps Launchpad despite the fact he's a horrible driver -- and once payed for his hospital bill when he ate too many hotdogs.
** Gyro is very brilliant but also very rude to just everyone -- but Scrooge's reaction is to just gently remind to be polite to others.
* BerserkButton: He has several:
** ''Don't'' tell him he "used to be a big deal".
** Never insinuate he's uncaring towards his family.
** Trying to blame him for the Spear of Selene isn't a good idea either.
*** Della Duck. He's effectively unpersoned her by hiding every picture of her and belonging she had hidden away in a secret room in his archives. According to Webby, some junkmail for her showed up at the mansion, so Scrooge bought the post office and arranged it so the unlucky post man never came again. [[spoiler: The fact she stole the Spear of Selene might have something to do with it.]]
** Laziness and mooching set him off too -- Louie found that out first-hand.
** Question his business expenses or the necessity of his staff? He will go into very angry rants on why they are necessary.
* BoringButPractical: While he's still got a number of fancy maneuvers, he prefers to avoid unnecessary road bumps and complications on his expeditions, such as trying to go around three dangerous locations on the journey to {{Atlantis}}. Given that one of his mantras is "Work smarter, not harder," this isn't necessarily a surprise.
* BraveScot: You can't become a capitalist adventurer without this trope.
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: Apparently the only reason he can [[PooledFunds dive into his money bin]] is because he spent years upping his muscle strength and dexterity.
* CollectorOfTheStrange: He has amassed a lot of artifacts in his years of adventuring before the Triplets arrive. Setting off the spooky artifacts in his ''garage'' drives most of the action of the first half of the pilot.
* CoolOldGuy: Switches between this and GrumpyOldMan, depending on the circumstances. But, as this trope, he's an experienced explorer who takes the four main children on daring adventures. He also takes a shine towards hiring a bunch of lunatics and eccentrics.
* CrazyPrepared: He spends a lot of money on magical defenses:
--> '''Scrooge [=McDuck=]''': "Do you have any idea how many vengeance curses I have on my head?"
* DefrostingIceKing: He's very grumpy and antisocial in the first half of the premiere. He cheers up considerably during the second half.
* DoWrongRight: After the kids inadvertently awaken several ancient evils and almost get him killed ''twice'', Scrooge concludes that the kids are nothing but trouble... and boy has he ''missed'' trouble. He then figures that he should teach them how to get into trouble ''properly'', and invites them in on his adventures.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: The triplets gush about the many past exploits of "the most exciting duck of all time!" followed by a DescriptionCut of Scrooge himself looking bored to death at a tedious business meeting regarding the actual running of his corporate empire, showing that while Scrooge is a [[SelfMadeMan self-made millionaire]], he doesn't enjoy the actual business of making money as much as he enjoys adventuring. Yet, he's retired from and dearly misses his adventuring days.
** After HesBack, he defeats a ghost pirate that the kids accidentally released in less than a minute.
-->'''Scrooge:''' Oi beastie! What's it gonna take to shuffle you off to the afterlife?
-->'''Ghost Pirate:''' The head of Scrooge [=McDuck=]!
-->'''Scrooge:''' ''(in a tone that just screams BringIt)'' [[PreAssKickingOneLiner Would you settle for his hat?]]
* ExperiencedProtagonist: He's already a master explorer by the time the story starts.
* GentlemanAdventurer: Well, "Adventure Capitalist" since he's a SelfMadeMan, but the trope still applies since he's extremely wealthy and ''could'' live in wealth and luxury if he wanted to, but he prefers to be InHarmsWay.
* {{Greed}}: Actually downplayed despite it being one his most defining traits -- at most it's played for laughs. His Xanadu-like mansion would've been considered a frivolous waste by his comic counterpart. Perhaps a case of SocietyMarchesOn ever since 2008 when the Great Recession hit and income inequality became a hot button issue.
* GrumpyBear: Before the triplets come to his life, he was pretty much what you'd expect from someone named Scrooge. At the end of the first episode, he's back to his adventurous - if not reckless - positive self.
* HonestCorporateExecutive: He prides himself on making his fortune square, unlike [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Glomgold]]. At the end of the pilot, he offers the Jewel of Atlantis as a clean source of renewable energy for Duckburg on behalf of his company.
* JerkassFacade: For a man who claims that "family is nothing but trouble" he'll do anything to protect them when they're in danger.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's not the nicest guy even to people he likes, but he ''will'' protect you no matter what.
* LonelyAtTheTop: He's the richest duck in the world but he's unmarried and childless at an age when he should be surrounded by grandkids. His only family is his estranged nephew and his grand-nephews with whom he has no contact until the start of the series.
* MadeOfIron: Honestly, Uncle Scrooge would have been ''dead'' by the time the First Episode was halfway through were it not for this trope.
-->'''Scrooge (Clutching onto Flying Dragon's Back):''' HA HA~~!! It'll take more than some fancy flyin' to shake ol' Scrooge you cash cannibal!
-->(Dragon CRASHES through multiple buildings.... )
-->'''Scrooge: (Covered in cuts, contusions and deshivelled feathers):''' Wheeze.... [[CrowningMomentOfFunny It'll take more than a... bruised spine]] to shake ol' Scrooge.... ye... [[TheNeverEndingStory bad dragon dog ye!]]
* MessOfWoe: His mansion and especially his garage have this element before the triplets get him back in action; jewels are lying in an apple bowl, rooms lie empty while vast treasures rest in his garage, and a general air of sadness pervades the mansion until the kids start to help clean up.
* NiceHat: Like previous adaptations, Scrooge wears his black top hat.
* NoHeroToHisValet: Both Mrs. Beakley and Donald have known the real Scrooge, who in addition to being a rich, hard-working, intelligent man, is also exploitative, insensitive, and demanding. That said, they know he has a noble side to him.
-->'''Mrs. Beakley:''' [To Webby] Dear, you are safer in a sunken city with Scrooge [=McDuck=] than you are locked in a vault in Fort Knox.
* NotSoDifferent: Scrooge and Donald do ''not'' get along, but both of them have one thing in common - they ''loathe Gladstone Gander's very existence'' because while Scrooge has earned every penny and Donald's had a rough go of life, Gladstone just glides through life doing bugger all and getting everything.
* ParentalSubstitute: It's implied Scrooge was like a father figure for both Donald and Della.
* PooledFunds: Obviously. Scrooge diving into his money bin is the page pic for this trope.
* RedIsHeroic: As in the original comics, his outfit is red.
* RichBoredom: When he's not adventuring, his life is shown to be this. The actual, tedious business of running his corporate empire is shown to bore him to tears, and his life in [=McDuck=] Manor is one of isolation and loneliness.
* ScrewDestiny: Scrooge has a lot of vengeance curses on his head, none of them have come to pass since he spends a lot on magical defenses.
* TheScrooge: Downplayed and played for laughs. He uses a flip-phone while everyone (even the perpetually unemployed Donald) uses more expensive smartphones. (That being said, it's still a ''golden'' flip-phone.) His idea of a "gift" for the triplets is a bag of marbles that they have to return when they leave (He's counted them). He also uses a Promethean Candle rather than buy new candles for birthday cakes each year. This is in direct contrast to the original series, where the first episode spent a good five minutes showcasing how cheap Scrooge was.
** "The Great Dime Chase" has Scrooge's Board of Directors actually deconstruct just how much Scrooge isn't TheScrooge, given that despite his cheapness in many things he actually spends a lot of money and resources on some things that he doesn't really have to.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: As seen in [[http://animationfantic.tumblr.com/post/164154335596/fergus-and-downy-mcduck-scrooges-parents this]] family picture, Scrooge looks a lot like his father.
* ThriftyScot: ''The'' thrifty Scot.
* ThrillSeeker: His most defining trait in this continuity. The hum drums of running a financial empire ''bores'' him to death, but the kids' efforts to stop and save him from the dragon give him a new lease of life. Donald, however, does ''not'' approve, calling his uncle a "crazy old man" who "only cares about his next adventure". That said Scrooge does ''not'' believe in putting himself or others in unnecessary danger if it can be avoided.
* TradeYourPassionForGlory: He's a great adventurer and a wealthy businessman but it's clear that being an adventurer is what he enjoys doing and he's totally silent and glum on hearing from his accounts that he should downsize the parts of the company dedicated to historical research and making experimental equipment (such as the submarine he and Launchpad use to find Atlantis).
* ViolentGlaswegian: He's from Glasgow and you do '''not''' want to mess with him.
* WeaponOfChoice: His hooked cane, much like in the original show and comics, Scrooge is shown able to walk perfectly fine without it and it seems to be more accessory than need. In a fight, you can bet he will be putting the cane to use in kicking butt.

[[folder:Donald Duck]]
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/donald_5.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:350: "Can I trust you to watch the boys without ''losing them''?"]]
->'''Voiced By''': Tony Anselmo
A once great adventurer turned Mother Duck whose need for a job is constantly weighed down by his worry for his nephews and their mischief.
----
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Probably one of the least selfish interpretations of the character. Even in the context of the original comics, he's now an overprotective father-figure instead of an [[AbusiveParents abusive parent]] with anger issues. The same goes with his counterpart in the original series.
* AdaptationDistillation: He's recognizable as the Donald of the classic cartoons, complete with fighting stance, irritability, and being a PerpetualFrowner but he also retains many of the more noble qualities from Creator/CarlBarks' stories.
* AlliterativeName: '''D'''onald '''D'''uck.
* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: Some family pictures in his phone imply this, particularly one of them at the "Grand Canyon... display at the grocery store." Said picture involves Donald cheerfully climbing on the display, with the boys looking embarrassed to be seen in public with him.
* AngstySurvivingTwin: It's implied that he cut off ties with Scrooge because of what happened to his twin sister, Della Duck, in an incident involving the Spear of Selene. The nephews are Della's children.
* AscendedExtra: Donald only appeared in the pilot and select episodes of the original series, it's evident that he'll be sticking with his family this time around, as he did in the original comics. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6YwF3KGIjQ One promo quite literally puts him front and center.]]
* BornUnlucky: Donald seems to exemplify FinaglesLaw, to the point of being a ButtMonkey.
* ButtMonkey: As with any continuity Donald's luck just causes him more and more trouble, which is only worsened by his short fuse. It's also deconstructed, showing that Donald's bad luck and temper keep him from holding a steady job that can keep the boys safe, and it makes him an overprotective parent because he knows all the sorts of things that can happen to someone with his misfortune. The only time it seems to fade away is when he's doing dangerous adventuring, and when he's trying to protect someone else.
* ComplexityAddiction: A consequence of his bad luck and his bad temper is he makes stuff too complicated for himself, as evidenced by his adjustment with Beakley in his first week at Scrooge's. The gag where he orders a battery of generators to power his houseboat as it floats on a swimming pool is classic Donald.
* CompositeCharacter: Shows some traits with Fenton Crackshell from the original -- a similar suit and the same profession, being an accountant -- well Donald ''wants'' to be one anyway (WordOfGod is that there's a deleted scene from the pilot stating that Donald for accredited thanks to an online college).
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: He really is every bit the [[HairTriggerTemper hair-trigger]], [[MyBelovedSmother neurotically overprotective]], and bumbling surrogate parental figure the triplets see him as. That doesn't keep him from being the badass and quick-witted adventurer that Webby knows him as when the time calls for it. He switches easily between the classic animated Donald and the comic book Donald sometimes mid-scene.
* DoWrongRight: As part of his cover as one of Glomgold's minions, he justifies preventing the deaths of the protagonists by saying "if they're dead now, they can't be tortured later."
** At the end of the pilot he concedes that the boys will get into trouble no matter what he does, so he asks Scrooge to teach them how to get ''out'' of trouble.
* DotingParent: He still keeps baby pictures of the nephews on his phone.
* GoodParents: Despite being way too overprotective, it's made very clear that Donald loves his nephews as if they were his own sons and his main concern is finding a stable and steady job to support them.
* HairTriggerTemper: Wouldn't be Donald Duck without his famous temper.
* HiddenDepths: The position Donald was applying for at Glomgold Industries was an accountant. According to WordOfGod, there's a cutscene where he states that he became accredited via an internet college.
* IJustWantToBeNormal: He has no desire to go back to adventuring and just wants a normal stable job to support his nephews. Unfortunately for him, living with Scrooge kind of puts a damper on that.
* JerkassHasAPoint:
** In the first issue of the tie-in comic Donald loses his temper and runs his tour boat aground when he attacks a customer. However, it's hard to hold it against him because said customer tries to take over as a tour guide, even knocking Donald out of the way to start steering.
** In the pilot episode, Donald calls out Scrooge for taking the boys on a dangerous adventure when he, Scrooge and Dewey are trapped in a rapidly flooding room in Atlantis. He's completely correct; while the boys may be more capable than Donald thinks they are, Scrooge had promised to keep them safe for a couple of hours.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Overbearing and hot-tempered, but he is ''devoted'' to his nephews and is a pretty decent fellow.
* LetsGetDangerous: While he may get hurt, Donald will leap into action if someone or something threatens his nephews. Best shown in the pilot when he uses a shield to protect an impulsive Dewey from a booby trap in Atlantis.
* MusclesAreMeaningless: Donald has a small build, but that doesn't stop him from taking on, and taking out, much larger opponents. [[PapaWolf Especially if they menace his family.]]
* MyBelovedSmother: A rare male example. Donald is super safety conscious when it comes to the boys, to the point he won't even let them walk around the houseboat without a life vest.
* {{Nephewism}}: It is implied that Scrooge was like a father to Donald and his sister Della growing up. The fact that [[WordOfGod their parents passed away many years ago]] likely had something to do with it.
* NervousWreck: Being chronically unemployed and raising three highly adventurous and mischievous kids has taken its toll on the poor guy.
* NoodleIncident: At one point he and Scrooge start arguing about an incident with the "Spear of Selene."
* PapaWolf: Wherever his three nephews are concerned.
** In the theme song, while Scrooge is driving the family through a raging storm, he shoves a life jacket onto the three of them before pirates abduct him.
** In the first episode when he, Dewey, and Scrooge are stuck in flooding treasure room, Donald starts trying to plug leaks all the leaks he can (and gets stuck in one) while Dewey is sitting on a floating chest. Donald doesn't stop or even try to free himself until Dewey convinces him that [[ItMakesSenseInContext they're better off letting the room flood]]. Donald's willing to ''drown'' if it means buying Dewey a little more time.
** In "Daytrip of Doom," the second he learns that the Beagle Boys have taken the nephews hostage in an attempt to ransom them, he flies into UnstoppableRage and attacks Burger and Bouncer, both of whom are larger, and Bouncer clearly more muscular. [[MusclesAreMeaningless They fail to stand a chance against him.]]
* ParentalSubstitute: He's the triplets' Uncle, but may as well be a Single Dad as far as all four of them are concerned.
* RetiredBadass: Even more so than Scrooge, who still exhibits trinkets and trophies from his adventuring days. Donald has no such relics and never told his nephews about his past as "one of the most daring adventurers of all time", and as bad as his present life is, doesn't seem to miss it.
* RoleReprisal: Tony Anselmo is once again voicing Donald, after having inherited the role over 30 years ago.
* VocalEvolution: Donald's voice is a lot more comprehensible this time around. The original ''[=DuckTales=]'' was made only three years into Tony Anselmo's tenure as Donald, so he was still new to the voice and hadn't quite found his footing with it. Thirty years later, and Anselmo's Donald has long since come into its own.

[[folder:Hubert "Huey" Duck]]
[[quoteright:236:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dt2017___huey.png]]
[[caption-width-right:236: "Junior Woodchuck Guidebook, you truly have the answer for everything!"]]
->'''Voiced By''': Creator/DannyPudi
The oldest and most responsible triplet. He likes red.
----
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: In the previous adaptation, while Huey and his brothers did care for Webby, they also treated her as an AnnoyingYoungerSibling and ''hated'' spending time with her because of her being feminine. Here, he and his brothers treat her with respect and enjoy her companionship with no problems with her gender.
* {{Adorkable}}: Becomes utterly giddy during the submarine ride when he brings snacks, a collection of sea shanties and T-shirts.
* BadLiar: Going with his more upstanding personality he is shown to be a very bad liar, almost as bad as Webby.
-->'''Donald:''' ''(Suspiciously)'' Where's Dewey?\\
'''Louie:''' Sleeping!\\
'''Huey:''' [[ImplausibleDeniability Who's Dewey?]]
* CharacterExaggeration: Of the triplets, he's the one whose character most resembles their shared personality in the comics, particularly Don Rosa's interpretation of them: He's an upbeat, helpful and generally morally-upstanding guy (who nevertheless isn't above the occasional delve into mischief) he's a clear SmartGuy who values knowledge, history, and research, and he's a dedicated and hyper-resourceful Junior Woodchuck. However, compared to the Nephews' comic counterparts, these traits have been exaggerated to comical and {{Adorkable}} extremes.
* CharacterTics: Huey tends to clench his fists/arms together.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment:
** Cooks Donald breakfast and starts to iron his suit for his job interview, showing how responsible and helpful he is. However, he's also in on Dewey and Louie's plan to sneak off while Donald is away, showing he's not above dabbling in a little mischief. However, unlike Louie, [[BadLiar he's not as good at covering his tracks about it]].
** During their gush about Scrooge's adventures in the beginning of "Woo-ooh!", each sibling shares what they've heard of his tales, and what they admire most about him. For Huey, it was Scrooge uncovering the truth about the Chubacabra, showing his admiration for wit and mysteries.
* TheDutifulSon: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. He's the most responsible of the triplets but will go along with their mischievous actions.
* FourTemperamentEnsemble: Forms this with his brothers and Webby, he is the Melancholic (analytical and organized).
* IdenticalTwinIDTag: Triplet ID Tag, in this case; he wears a red T-shirt and is the only one of the triplets to still wear a baseball cap.
* ItRunsInTheFamily: Each of the siblings inherit a trait from Scrooge. Huey enjoys solving mysteries and uses intelligence above all else, much like Scrooge.
* TheLeader: A per usual he's the leader of the nephews and Webby, due to being the oldest and knack for quick thinking and organization.
* LethalChef: Heavily implied in the pilot. His attempt at cooking Donald a big good-luck breakfast of fried egg and fish ends with the fish 'leaking' a rather unpleasant looking green substance and the egg yolk oozing over the whole thing. Donald, naturally, is not incredibly eager to eat it.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: He and Louie are the only Duck triplets who are not investigating their mother's past.
* MeaningfulName: Hubert means "bright mind" when translated from German. With his knowledge and optimism, Huey's mind is "bright" for two reasons.
* {{Nephewism}}: Huey and his brothers have been raised and cared for by their Uncle Donald all of their lives.
* NiceHat: He's the only one of the triplets who still wears a baseball cap (red, of course) as they did in the original series and other media.
* RedIsHeroic: He's the unofficial leader of the triplets, and wears red.
* ScheduleFanatic: Plans out an entire itinerary for the group's submarine voyage, which Dewey considers lame.
* TheSmartGuy: The most knowledgeable and resourceful of the triplets.
* TheTeamNormal: Louis is a wannabe hustler, Dewey wavers between MiddleChildSyndrome and constantly curious, Huey, by contrast, is a little generic.
* TokenGoodTeammate: Easily the nicest of the triplets and always willing to lend a hand. While he might not be as good as the other two at lying and in getting into mischief he is great at leading the way out.

[[folder:Dewford "Dewey" Duck]]
[[quoteright:273:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dewey.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:237: "That sounds like a challenge!"]]
->'''Voiced By''': Ben Schwartz
The middle child, and like any good middle child he is out to prove himself. He likes blue.
----
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: In the previous adaptation, while Dewey and his brothers did care for Webby, they also treated her as an AnnoyingYoungerSibling and ''hated'' spending time with her because of her being feminine. Here, he and his brothers treat her with respect and enjoy her companionship with no problems with her gender. Dewey especially takes a shine to Webby and insists on bringing her along to Funso's and later confides in Webby about his interest in his mother.
* AdaptationNameChange: His full name here is Dewford. In the comics, it was Deuteronomy. It was probably changed since his original name is definitely out there.
* AlliterativeName: '''D'''ewford '''D'''uck. Also applies when using his more well-known nickname, "Dewey".
* BlueIsHeroic: Wears blue and aspires a brave, daring adventure like his great uncle.
* ConstantlyCurious: Dewey has an eye for details and picking up cues, and is the one leading the mystery [[spoiler:of what happened to his mother Della Duck]].
* {{Deuteragonist}}: Seems to be shaping up as this, being the most active triplet, having the most CharacterDevelopment in the premier (and is tied for most with Scrooge's CharacterDevelopment as well), and kicks off the MythArc with his discovery during the WhamShot.
-->'''Dewey''': Classic Scrooge/Dewey banter. The seasoned-but-tired explorer PassingTheTorch to his cocky young successor.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment:
** In the pilot episode, Dewey is introduced hot-wiring the family houseboat so he and his brothers can go for a joyride, showing his daring, adventurous personality. However, he neglects to make sure Donald has left first and consequently gets caught, which makes it apparent that he's too impulsive for his own good.
** During their gush about Scrooges adventures in the beginning of "Woo-ooh!", each sibling shares what they've heard of his tales, and what they admire most about him. For Dewey, it was slaying a RockMonster and carving a statue of himself out of its leg, demonstrating both his desire for physical adventure and his lust for glory.
* FearlessFool: In his thirst for adventure, and his intense desire to be noticed as an individual and not just one-of-three-brothers, he'll take any risk and rush headfirst into danger even after he's been explicitly and repeatedly told why this is a bad idea.
* FourTemperamentEnsemble: Forms this with his brothers and Webby, he is the Choleric (passionate and strong-willed).
* HiddenDepths: So far he's the most sensitive and mature of the triplets.
* IdenticalTwinIDTag: Triplet ID tag in this case; he wears a blue T-shirt with a lighter blue long-sleeved shirt underneath. He also has a different hairstyle from his brothers, sticking up from the top of his head instead of the front.
* IJustWantToBeSpecial: Being the middle child of the triplets, Dewey is desperate to stand out. This is why he latches onto the idea of becoming Scrooge's "successor" in adventuring.
* ItRunsInTheFamily: Each of the siblings inherit a trait from Scrooge. What Dewey inherits is his addiction to adventure, and also his concern for his family. Not so much his caution and reason.
* JumpedAtTheCall: While all of the kids are excited to join Scrooge on a voyage to Atlantis, Dewey is the one who runs right into the city and ahead of Scrooge without any concern for what dangers lie ahead.
* LeeroyJenkins: He has the habit of intentionally running into danger, such as navigating the submarine through a sea full of monsters and crossing a rope bridge with laser-triggered fire traps as a self-imposed challenge.
* MiddleChildSyndrome: The middle child of the triplets and wants to prove himself because of this.
* {{Nephewism}}: Dewey and his brothers have been raised and cared for by their Uncle Donald all of their lives.
* SherlockScan: He's quite observant when it comes to his surroundings, like when he realizes which is the real Jewel of Atlantis in "Woo-oo!" and notices that some of the books in Scrooge's private library were purposely out of order on the shelves in "The Great Dime Chase".
* SuicidalOverconfidence: A byproduct of being the FearlessFool.
* ThrillSeeker: If there's a path that leads to danger and adventure he is sure to take the most dangerous route.
* WellDoneSonGuy: Of the Triplets, Dewey is the guy who most visibly seeks some form of parental validation from both Donald and Scrooge. The former is a perpetual worrywart and the latter is a GrumpyOldMan and Dewey is a little miffed at first [[spoiler:but at the end of "Woo-oo!" both of them respect him]].

[[folder:Louis "Louie" Duck]]
[[quoteright:298:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dt2017___louie.png]]
[[caption-width-right:298: "Eh."]]
->'''Voiced By''': Bobby Moynihan
The youngest triplet, he isn't bothered by much and just likes going along for the ride. He likes green.
----
* AdaptationalJerkass: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. While he is kinder in this adaptation (see AdaptationalNiceGuy below), he is also lazy, bratty, greedy as well as a liar and cheater, none of which personality traits he had in the original show.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: In the previous adaptation, while Louie and his brothers did care for Webby, they also treated her as an AnnoyingYoungerSibling and ''hated'' spending time with her because of her being feminine. Here, he and his brothers treat her with respect and enjoy her companionship with no problems with her gender. Louie, in particular, takes her under his wing in regards to how to lie properly.
* AttentionDeficitOhShiny: In "The Great Dime Chase", when he looks up how to open a locked door, he gets distracted by an advertisement for the TV show "Ottoman Empire".
* TheBabyOfTheBunch: The youngest of his brothers.
* BrilliantButLazy: He's clever like Huey, but he's largely unmotivated, preferring to mooch off people - the show's EyeCatch even has him break the fourth wall and ask viewers to come do his chores for him during the commercial break. One of the three intertwining plots of ''The Great Dime Chase!'' has Scrooge trying to teach him the value of hard and honest work.
* TheCharmer: He's very good at flattering people and has no problem using it for his own personal reasons.
* DeadpanSnarker: Makes many dry, sarcastic remarks.
* DoWrongRight: When he learns Webby didn't tell Mrs. Beakley that she went on a journey with him, his brothers, and Scrooge, he admonishes her... for not at least ''lying'' about where she was going.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment:
** Tosses away Donald's sailor suit and forces him to wear a jacket and tie for his job interview, telling him to "dress for the job he wants, not the job he has, which is no job" showing his sarcasm and lax morals but also his good heart. Then when Donald asks where Dewey is, he easily lies through his teeth and gets mad at Huey for being a BadLiar.
** During their gush about Scrooges adventures in the beginning of "Woo-ooh!", each sibling shares what they've heard of his tales, and what they admire most about him and the simple fact that Scrooge is so rich he can swim in his PooledFunds is enough to excite him.
* EvilTwin: PlayedForLaughs. When Webby asks which one of the triplets is evil, Huey and Dewey immediately point to Louie... who doesn't even try to defend himself and instead shrugs and gives an agreeable "eh."
* FourTemperamentEnsemble: Forms this with his brothers and Webby, he is the Phlegmatic (reserved and lazy).
* {{Greed}}: Louie is pretty obsessed with wealth. When they find Scrooge's treasures, he puts green labels on them to mark which ones he will get when Scrooge eventually passes and the comic adaptation features him doing several schemes to make money.
* HighSchoolHustler: He's not yet in high school but he already has this act. His antics at the start of the "Great Dime Chase" also mark him as a slacker.
* IdenticalTwinIDTag: Triplet ID tag, in this case; he wears a green hoodie.
* ItRunsInTheFamily: Each of the siblings inherit a trait from Scrooge. Like Scrooge, Louie has a love of money and riches, despite not being as much of an honest, hard-worker as his Great Uncle. His schmoozing and ability to charm people to do his job for him also shows parts of Scrooge's exploitative cheapskate nature and that Louie also believes in "work smarter not harder" albeit by being smart enough to not work at all (which was not Scrooge's message at all).
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's greedy, money-grubbing and rather lax when it comes to morals, but despite being labeled the "evil triplet" he's not actually a bad guy.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: He and Huey are the only Duck triplets who are not investigating their mother's past.
* {{Nephewism}}: Louie and his brothers have been raised and cared for by their Uncle Donald all of their lives.
* NotSoStoic: In normal circumstances, he affects a laid-back, carefree attitude. But when Webby ties up the triplets, Louie actually ''starts crying''.
* TokenEvilTeammate: The other triplets insist he's the evil one, an assertion he merely shrugs at. While it's mostly an InformedFlaw presently, it is worth noting he's the one who teaches Webby about lying. In the tie-in comics, he kept swindling people out of money in order to get the help he didn't provide.
* ToxicFriendInfluence: He frequently tries to teach Webby skills like lying, schmoozing with people to get free stuff, and cutting corners with buying things.
-->'''Louie''': "Lying: it's the ''responsible'' thing to do!"
* TheSlacker: His laziness annoys Scrooge greatly. At the start of episode 3, he's chugging cans of Pep Soda while watching TV, taken to calling Beakley by cell while still in the mansion and more or less puts on a couch potato act before Scrooge.

* AdaptationDyeJob: 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.
* {{Adorkable}}: Hopelessly socially awkward, but endearingly so. She's never had any real friends before the triplets came along, due to her granny never letting her leave [=McDuck=] Manor.
* AffectionateNickname: "Dear" from her grandmother.
* AgeLift: In the previous series, Webby was younger than the triplets. Here, while it's not stated how old she is, she's at least around the same age as them.
* AmbiguousDisorder: She has a few quirks that are often symptoms of Borderline Personality Disorder, including a tendency to be aggressive and violent, being anxious in unfamiliar environments, and being unable to pick up on social cues.
* AscendedExtra: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. While Webby was a central character in the original series, in ''this'' adaptation, she is now a main protagonist.
* AscendedFangirl: A ''huge'' fan of the famous [=McDuck=] family and is now friends/adventuring buddies with them.
* BadassAdorable: A cute child, ''huge'' fangirl of the [=McDuck=] family, and an expert in taking down grown adults who are masters at swordsmanship.
* BadLiar: Her attempts to lie to her grandmother in the pilot are laughable at best.
-->"Hi, Granny, I'm at a friend's house so there's nothing to worry about! Bye!"
** In "Daytrip of Doom", Louie once again tries to get her to lie to latch some free soda of a friendly waitress, but Webby screws it up and ends up ruining the entire scheme.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: She's a sweet kid, but will kick your butt if you mess with her and the ones she's close to.
* ChewingTheScenery: The first scene of episode 3 has Webby do an overly immersive performance in a Nerf-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 LetsGetDangerous 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 GunsAkimbo; 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:''' [[PreMortemOneLiner This is no foyer...this is ''a tomb.'']]
-->''(Uncle Scrooge is walking down the hall as Huey's shot offscreen)''
-->'''Huey:''' (offscreen) Ahhh! My Tailbone!
-->'''Scrooge:''' [[ActuallyPrettyFunny (chuckling at Webby's dialogue)]] "A tomb."
* CrazyPrepared: Is a product of this. Mrs. Beakley trained her to be "prepared for anything," which explains her GadgeteerGenius 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.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: In the pilot episode, 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.
* {{Fangirl}}: Of Scrooge [=McDuck=] and his entire family, particularly Donald Duck. Her first question when she meets the triplets is what Donald is really like, and later she refers to Donald as one of the greatest adventurers of all time.
* {{Foil}}: To the triplets. All four of them were raised by an overprotective guardian, but while the triplets grew up to well-adjusted, Webby became socially impaired.
* FourTemperamentEnsemble: Forms this with the triplets, she is the Sanguine (cheerful and energetic).
* GadgeteerGenius: Seems to have a knack for setting traps, such as her EstablishingCharacterMoment lassoing the twins and hanging them upside down, and the elaborate traps she sets up for the triplets while playing with dart guns in the "Daytrip of Doom!" sneak peak.
* GenkiGirl: 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.
* GoMadFromTheIsolation: 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.
* HairDecorations: Has a bow on the right side of her hair.
* HiddenDepths: She can play the cello.
* IconicItem: Has two -- Her NightVisionGoggles and GrapplingHookPistol.
* IJustWantToHaveFriends: 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.
* LonelyRichKid: Well, she's not rich, but she lives in a giant mansion all by herself and the triplets seem to be her [[FriendlessBackground first friends ever]].
* MundaneLuxury: 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.
* MundaneMadeAwesome: 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.
* MusclesAreMeaningless: She's a skinny girl around 10-years-old, but has proven to be stronger than she looks.
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: 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.
* NoSocialSkills: Before she met the nephews she never had any friends. So she's a bit ... overeager in her social skills.
* OddNameOut: Of the main characters, Webby is the only one with her last name not being of relation to the [=McDuck=]/Duck family.
* PlatonicLifePartners: WordOfGod has stated that this is as far as she'll go with any of the triplets. NoHuggingNoKissing, they'll be strictly friends only.
* RaisedByGrandparents: As Mrs. Beakley stated, "[She] has enough excitement caring for Webby".
* SacrificedBasicSkillForAwesomeTraining: As Huey 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.
* TheSmartGuy: 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.
* {{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.
* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: 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 and admits to Dewey that part of the reason she covers her notebooks in glitter is because it makes them pretty.
* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: She has a bit of a violent edge.
** When the nephews arrive at [=McDuck=] Manor, she kidnaps, ties them up and interrogates them.
** In another episode, 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 fork. Thankfully she doesn't got 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.
* WeaponOfChoice: She makes frequent use of 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.''
