History Characters / DuckTales2017MainCharacters

* AdultFear:
** Finding out that her granddaughter sneaked out of the house to go with Scrooge, and lied to her. She tells Webby that while hanging out with Scrooge is more than fine, to at least be honest with her about it.
** In "Terror of the Terra-Firmians!", because she was helping Launchpad with his phobia of mole people, she's distracted long enough for Lena to take Webby and Huey down to the subway, and going down the abandoned tracks. Unsurprisingly, she chews out Lena for endangering everyone with her recklessness.
** In "From the Confidential Casefiles of Agent 22!", Black Heron [[WouldHurtAChild threatens to shoot Webby in the head]] if Beakley doesn't give up the bounce formula. Beakley quickly complies in order to save her granddaughter. Before that happens, Beakley yells at Scrooge for bringing Webby along on the rescue mission as Black Heron is a dangerous enemy.

* ParentalAbandonment: She was an absolute absentee mother to her daughter, and speaks of her son-in-law as if she'd never met him. It apparently never occurred to her to be otherwise until it was "too late," and it's implied this factored heavily in her decision to raise Webby.

** Notably his comicial ability to crash without consequence is retained and the main thing separating him from [[spoiler:Della]] who otherwise is a far superior pilot that can do crazy stunts and land fine, as well as properly repair the plane. However when they crash it's played with all seriousness of possible injury or death as well as damage to the plane. When Launchpad takes over he manages crash straight into a cave without damage to the plane or injury much to [[spoiler:Della's]] confusion and they're able to just fly right out. [[spoiler:Della crashing the Sunchaser in the finale meanwhile shakes everyone up and the plane is wrecked, stranding them there]]

[[spoiler:Della crashing the Sunchaser in the finale meanwhile shakes everyone up and the plane is wrecked, stranding them there]]

* {{Catchphrase}}: Huh, never crashed a ''[insert any vehicle]'' before.

* UnderestimatingBadassery: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] as she typically mean's no ill-will, but Beakley has a habit underestimating Donald due to his [[ButtMonkey typical desposition.]] Though she always ends up pleasantly surprised when [[BewareTheSillyOnes Donald does rise to the occassion]] showcased in both the Season 1 Premiere and Finale.

* RetiredBadass: Used to be spy, she's now Scrooge's housekeeper.

** She gives one to the ''nephews'' as well, in the following episode. Pointing out that no matter how they were, Scrooge was hurt as well, and they shouldn't ''not'' forgive him at one point.

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure:
** Mrs. Beakley is an overprotective grandparent. She tells Webby, however, that the latter is safe with Scrooge [=McDuck=], and just not to lie to her about it.
** While Beakley (rightly) doesn't trust Lena and plans on putting the kibosh on her visiting Webby, she spends a lot of the time trying very hard to understand her, and even protects her in the subway when Launchpad gets the train moving out of control. Beakley eventually relents after Lena saves her life, and even lets her come to the mansion for pancakes.

* KickChick: The only Martial Art she's explicitly said to know (via Donald asking her a question), at this point, is the kick-heavy Tae Kwon Do.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: While she's definitely strict and somewhat uptight, no one can deny the good she does for others.

* AllTakeAndNoGive: Present but played sympathetically; Mrs. Beakley expects Webby to be 100% honest with her, while keeping her granddaughter in the dark about certain {{Awful Truth}}s for her own good.

** Much to Della's shock, when he highlights the "Point-o-Meter", which is actually the air speed indicator, he brags that his "high score" is 5000. Della immediately realizes that means he somehow made the plane fly at ''five-thousand miles per hour'' (which is ''Mach 6.7''). The plane ''should not be remotely capable of such air speeds''.

* AcePilot: As seen by her aviation-styled clothing, she retains this status from the comics. She was Scrooge's pilot for many of their old adventures and gets right back to flying routinely once she returns to Earth.
* ActionMom: Mother of triplets and capable of fighting off pirates, as well as 4 vikings all at once. PlayedWith in that she's actually never met her own children, due to having recklessly run off and gotten stranded on the Moon before their eggs hatched. Nonetheless, she is shown to have some degree of maternal tendencies, and her feelings of guilt over her absence, and her desire to return to her children, is her main driving motivation during her years of absence.
* ActionSurvivor: She's somehow survived alone on the Moon for ten years. This is after somehow landing an out of control space-ship that ''had no power''.
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: In the comics, she looked an awful lot like Donald in a blonde wig. Here, while she's still Donald's twin sister, she looks a lot more feminine than she does in the comics.
* AdaptationDyeJob: Blonde in the comics, but her portraits here show she has white "hair" like the rest of her family.
* AdultFear: A major theme for her when she returns. She had no idea how to parent, and she knows it, and she fears she's been gone so long she'll never be a part of her kids' lives. Furthermore, she has no context for the kids or what they've been through, so the perilous but wacky hijinks and casual daredevil antics the kids can get into that we and they have gotten used to over two seasons regularly ''freak her out.'' In particular:
** She experiences this in "Raiders of the Doomsday Vault!" when her middle child nearly gets himself killed in an attempt to prove his worth to her.
** In "Timephoon!", she witnesses her family and friends get blasted out of the present and into some unknown period, all because her youngest child was trying to shortcut his way to riches. It's for this reason she grounds him for it.
** In "Moonvasion!", she's faced with a dangerous enemy intent on killing her children, with the ability and desire to pursue them anywhere. What's more, said children want to rush in to fight back, a battle she can't bring herself to risk the possibility of losing.
** In a more comedic sense, her first encounter with [[RageBreakingPoint Huey's temper]] leaves her completely stunned - especially since she previously believed he had trouble getting out of his shell.
* AesopAmnesia: Her ordeal on the Moon did little to curb her reckless and impulsive tendencies, at least when it comes to herself. Scrooge explodes over this in "Raiders of the Doomsday Vault!" when Della and Dewey steal Scrooge's plane without telling him. Then, when the two of them go inside Ludwig Von Drake's Doomsday Vault, they proceed to wreck the titular vault trying to find the Seed of the Money Tree. [[CharacterDevelopment She only starts really getting the message, slowly, as she sees similar recklessness reflected in her children.]]
--> '''Scrooge:''' Can you never think anything through, Della?! It's been over a decade and she's '''''still''''' the same headstrong kid jumping into danger or space or any other disaster without a thought of the damage she leaves behind!
* AlliterativeName: '''D'''ella '''D'''uck.
* AmbiguousSituation: A surprising amount of information is given about her past except the identity of the father of her children.
* AngerBornOfWorry: In "Timephoon!" she becomes ''furious'' with Louie when she sees how much danger his time-traveling treasure-stealing scheme has put the rest of the family (especially her other two boys) in.
* AnArmAndALeg: She was forced to amputate her own leg in order to escape being trapped under a pile of debris when the Spear crashed on the Moon.
* ArtificialLimbs: Her left leg was stuck under wreckage after her ship crashed, the next scene, she's shown with a robotic leg. [[DismembermentIsCheap She's surprisingly pleased with the "cool" new leg]], and wants to further modify it when she gets the chance.
* ArmorPiercingResponse: Louie gives her one in "Timephoon!" After she calls him out on recklessly jumping into a machine without thinking of the consequences of his actions or the people he would hurt, Louie surlily replies, "Wonder who I got ''that'' from?" Subverted in that, while she is clearly struck and hurt by the comment, she still sticks to her guns and refuses to let Louie off the hook.
* AscendedExtra: She is ''never'' mentioned in the original show or any other animation [[note]]aside from the letter signed "Dumbella" which introduced Huey, Dewey, and Louie in [[WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck ''Donald's Nephews'' (1938)]] [[/note]], and appeared so sparingly in the comics that, prior to ''[=DuckTales 2017=]'', the only character in the Duck Universe that we knew even less about was the triplets' father (whom we [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ChasteToonsImage_8562.jpg don't even have a name for]]). This series makes her a fully fleshed-out character with a central role in the plot, and as of the second half of Season 2, she's effectively part of the main cast. At eighty years, Della may hold the record for how long she she was in the background before moving into the spotlight.
* AudienceSurrogate: Since Della has never been seen in any media featuring Donald Duck prior to this series, Della is getting to know her family, just as newer audiences are.
* BadassBookworm: A flashback in the [=DuckTales=] comics portrays Della as passionately curious about the history of the lost civilization du jour, and more fascinated by cultural artifacts than treasure.
* BadassFamily: Sometime prior to the first episode, it's revealed that she, Donald and Scrooge were a trio of adventurers.
* BarefootCartoonAnimal: Her original incarnation [[TheOneWhoWearsShoes wears shoes]], while in here, she is barefoot just like her brother. However, she wears pants, unlike [[HalfDressedCartoonAnimal the rest of her family]].
* BatmanCanBreatheInSpace: In "The Shadow War!" and "Last Christmas!", it is shown that she is able to breathe on the Moon without the need of a space suit. This is achieved by Oxy-Chew, an oxygen gum invented by Gyro.

** In "Last Christmas!", she doesn't take kindly at all to Donald calling her Dumbella.
** She doesn't like being replaced as Scrooge's pilot either, given how she reacted to a photo in Donald's houseboat of Launchpad being Scrooge's new pilot.
* BookDumb:
** Her first plan to get back to Earth after crash-landing on the Moon was to ''jump back''. Naturally, this did not work.
** Gyro in particular considers her this, as in the Spear of Selene's instruction manual, he leaves a note saying it's so simple "even Della can do it." This is later confirmed when she attempts to actually read Gyro's instruction manual in order to fix the Spear of Selene. She reads it for a few moments and then collapses from complexity and boredom. It eventually takes her ''six years'' to learn it by heart and fix her rocket.
* BornUnlucky: She and Donald both have the same bad luck, but Della deals with her luck differently.
* BreakTheHaughty: Her motto is "Nothing can stop Della Duck!" But being stuck on the Moon for a decade and having every escape attempt thwarted put a damper on that.
* BrokenAce: She's too irrepressible to be ''completely'' broken, but her natural ActionGirl nature and wide range of skills (not to mention the fact that she was never a ChewToy like her brother) led to an overconfidence and recklessness that came back to bite her ''hard'' and left her stranded on the moon for ten years. She still has a ton of issues she's not very good at dealing with.
* CatchPhrase: She has a tendency to say "Nothing can stop Della Duck!" before rushing into something potentially foolish. Like her brother, she also regularly says "[[SharePhrase Aw, phooey]]" whenever her bad luck gets her in a poor situation.
* CharacterDevelopment: Slowly undergoes this in Season 2. In "Raiders of the Doomsday Vault!", despite Scrooge rightly calling her out on her StaticCharacter status, Della proves that even though she's still reckless, she at least has backup plans and exit strategies when she jumps into danger, since being stuck on the moon for a decade has forced her to keep an eye on all the exits. Throughout Season 2, she also acts as a CoolBigSis at best, PushoverParents at worst to her kids, but undergoing AdultFear in "Timephoon!", with Mrs. Beakley's help she learns to call her kids out when they behave too recklessly and give ToughLove when necessary.
* CoolBigSis:
** Tends to act like this towards Donald, despite her technically being the younger twin. And she must have been so beloved by him to make him so resentful at his Uncle Scrooge for her absence. Goddess of the Moon, Selene, claims that Della was pretty much this to everyone.
** Played more for drama as having zero experience actually raising her kids causes her to act more like one of these than a mother, having trouble realizing the damage it could do.
* DaddyHadAGoodReasonForAbandoningYou: Averted. Della risking her life to go on one last adventure before the triplets even hatched is a major point of contention for a lot of the characters.
* DaddysGirl: Scrooge was Della’s surrogate father as well as her uncle, and they shared a closer bond as likeminded, adventurous individuals compared to Scrooge’s relationship with Donald.
* ADayInTheLimelight: The second season episode "What Ever Happened to Della Duck?!" focuses solely on her.
* DeceasedParentsAreTheBest: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. During the first season, the boys revere her memory, and [[PalsWithJesus her best friend Selene]] claims that Della loved her family more than anything, and always made everyone around her better. Then, "The Last Crash of the Sunchaser!" reveals that she put adventuring before her unhatched children, [[WhatTheHellHero which her brother Donald called her out on]], and stole an untested, experimental family rocket that Scrooge planned to surprise her with for a solo joyride. In short, [[ParentsAsPeople she was flawed]]. Of course, she turns out to be not deceased at all.
* {{Determinator}}: Della will NOT let anything stop her from going back to see her boys once and for all.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: Her defining character trait. Stealing the Spear of Selene and getting stranded on the Moon is a direct result of this. And later, that tendency sabotages her efforts to inform Scrooge of her whereabouts and later fix the Spear of Selene.
* DisabledInTheAdaptation: Unlike her comic book self, Della in this series is an amputee. [[https://www.fox19.com/video/2019/07/09/animation-workshops-kids-duck-tales-screening/ The producers stated a major reason for her inclusion is to raise awareness of amputees.]]
* DismembermentIsCheap: Della lost her leg when her ship crashed on the moon. Despite her prosthetic being cobbled together from junk, it functions identically to a natural one.
* DisappearedDad: Not ''her'' father, but given how Donald got the triplets, one wonders just who their father is and what happened to him.
* DitzyGenius: She’s smart enough to make her own improvised prosthetic leg and rebuild a rocket ship on her own with nothing but scraps. However, she's scatterbrained enough that she doesn’t think to check the ship’s fuel supply until after she’s failed to fire the rockets, then wastes four years wandering the surface of the Moon before she realizes that she already had what she needed inside her own mouth.
* DoesNotLikeSpam: She hates the flavor of black licorice. Unfortunately for her, it's the flavor Gyro used for Oxy-Chew, and she has to keep it in her mouth to breathe on the Moon's surface.
* DrivingQuestion: What happened to her? She's been gone since before the triplets were even born. The only clue is that it was what caused the rift between Donald and Scrooge, led to Scrooge retiring from adventuring, and involved Della taking something called the "Spear of Selene" from Scrooge.
** Answer: The Spear of Selene is a spaceship that Della designed, and Scrooge had secretly built to take his family into space once Della's then-soon-to-be-born triplets were old enough. Della stumbled upon the Spear early and, being her brash and impulsive self, took it for a joyride without permission, wanting "one more adventure before motherhood"; when Scrooge tried to intervene and order her back, Della foolishly refused, and ended up flying into a cosmic storm that cut off communications and damaged the ship, sending it crashing into the Moon. Scrooge tried desperately (and unsuccessfully) to track her down, driving himself nearly to bankruptcy before his Board of Directors forced him to stop. Donald blamed Scrooge solely for the tragedy, and cut ties with him. Scrooge became a bitter, jaded old man who gave up adventuring, at least until the nephews came into his life. Finally, TheStinger of the Season 1 finale established that she actually ''survived'' the crash landing, and was still alive (though stranded) on the moon.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: While the entire episode is devoted to showing off her character, the first three or so minutes of "What Ever Happened To Della Duck?!" do a good job of summing up the key points of her personality. She's reckless (taking the Spear of Selene for a joyride), a skilled pilot (landing the Spear on the lunar surface in more or less one piece without any power), determined (cutting off her leg to escape the wreckage with only a minor complaint), resourceful (building a prosthetic from scraps), family oriented (stating her intentions to get home to her children), and boundlessly optimistic (showing of her "cool robot leg" to the camera without the slightest hint of trauma).
* EtTuBrute: Betrayed Scrooge and Donald at some point prior to the series by stealing the Spear of Selene. However, this was more to prove nothing can surprise her.
* EveryoneWentToSchoolTogether: "The Lost Cargo of Kit Cloudkicker!" revealed that she attended flight school with Kit Cloudkicker and Molly Cunningham.
* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: She had shoulder-length hair in flashbacks, but in the present day it's grown almost down to her waist. Presumably she couldn't find anything to cut her hair with during the time she was trapped on the moon, or she was simply too distracted to remember to cut it. After returning back to Earth, she cuts it down a bit. It's longer than before she left but shorter than when she was stranded on the moon.
* FatalFlaw: Depending on how you want to interpret her underlying mentality, Della's fatal flaw is either Pride, Selfishness, or Impulsiveness. A hard-core adrenaline junkie, Della is revealed in "The Last Crash of the Sunchaser!" to have been too impulsive for her own good, with her desire for adventure giving her a tendency to ignore common sense which is the reason why she went missing in space. She stole the Spear of Selene and took it into space to have one last adventure before she settled down into motherhood, all without thinking about the consequences or how things could potentially go wrong.
* FateWorseThanDeath: Flying into a cosmic storm, crash landing on the Moon, and then spending every single day without her boys as her own sanity takes a dip? That's torture worse than death for her.
* FirstEpisodeTwist: She used to be an adventurer alongside Donald and Scrooge.
* FishOutOfTemporalWater: Since Della grew up in TheNineties, she only knew of Earth up to that era, prior to getting stranded on the moon. It’s rather telling that despite Earth being almost nothing like Della described, Moonlanders Zenith and Gibbous adopted 90s aesthetics based on what Della last described to them.
* FishOutOfWater: Once she gets back to Earth, she not only has to get used to Earth's gravity again but gradually learn how to be a good mother since she has no idea on how to raise her kids.
* {{Foil}}:
** To Scrooge. Scrooge is ''the'' adrenaline junkie, but even ''he'' knows when to stop and listen to his family, that they come first. He's survived to be ''a hundred and fifty years old'' by knowing when he's gone too far. Della never learned that lesson, and got trapped on the Moon for it.
** Also to Donald. While their basic personalities aren't that dissimilar -- they're both HotBlooded, stubborn and impulsive {{Determinator}}s with a tendency towards DidntThinkThisThrough -- their attitudes and priorities are pretty much opposite: Della is a BrokenAce, Donald is a CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass. Della is a perpetual optimist with a sunny disposition and a reckless streak a mile wide, while Donald is a pessimistic worrywart who's far easier to knock out of balance, and who's a lot more cautious and overprotective. Della is a big dreamer always chasing the next adventure while Donald is far more down-to-earth and finds more pleasure in the small things. And of course, thanks to Della having been gone for so long and leaving Donald to raise the triplets, Donald is an experienced and responsible parental figure while Della is irresponsible and has no clue how to be a mother.
*** Going further, Donald and Della have almost complete opposite approaches to the children during adventures, leading to her episodes having an opposite flow from his. Donald very protective and dislikes the idea of the kids going on adventures, but knows them well enough to trust them to take care of themselves a dangerous spot. Della, meanwhile, loves the ''idea'' of taking the kids on adventures, but is petrified of losing them and becomes even more fearful and overprotective than Donald is when danger strikes. This comes to a head when both of them lead the kids together in Moonvasion: Donald - the responsible one - is ready to help the kids make a crazy plan, while Della - the impulsive one - wants to hide everyone forever on a deserted island.
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: Had this dynamic with Donald. Della was all gung-ho for going into space even when she expecting the triplets, while Donald thought it was too risky. The two had a very nasty argument over it.
** Inverted in her childhood days. She would be the one encouraging Donald to interact more with his family while he stayed on the sidelines doing his own thing.
** When she finally returns home, it turns out she doesn't know how to raise her kids, in contrast to her brother.
* {{Forgiveness}}: Della outright told Louie in ''Timephoon!'' that his quick rick scheme nearly cost their family and punished him for his actions. After he went to his room, Della got a hold of herself and hoped that she wasn't too harsh with Louie. In the next episode, Della forgives Louie when he sees his effort in helping Scrooge and hearing that he was truly sorry for his actions.
* GadgeteerGenius: The Spear of Selene was a rocket she designed the blueprints for, and Scrooge commissioned it according to her specs. She is singlehandedly repairing it from the wreckage in the Moon despite being in a "cave with box of scraps" situation.
* GamerChick: She's a big fan of ''Legends of [=LegendQuest=]'', and played a lot of a flight simulator as a kid.
* GenkiGirl: Dewey's picture shows her gleefully smashing her brother's face in a cake. The portrait Scrooge keeps of her (seen above) has her wearing a big grin.
* GenreSavvy: If there's one thing Della and Donald know after seeing so many movies, it's that using time travel to SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong ''never'' goes well. It's for this reason they stop a time traveling Dewey from telling them anything about the future or himself beyond "relative from the future."
* GentleTouchVsFirmHand: A running theme in Della's character arc is her being MaternallyChallenged. In particular, Mrs. Beakley espouses the need a Firm Hand while Della would much prefer the Gentle Touch and let the kids be kids. This comes to a head in the episode "Timephoon!", where Louie's actions nearly cause the entire family to be lost in time. Ironically, Mrs. Beakley is among those who are willing to forgive Louie, since everyone knows nothing he did was done out of malice, while Della realizes that she needs to put her foot down and grounds Louie for his actions, with the next episode showing her taking extreme measures to make sure he doesn't try to sneak away when the family leaves the house without him. When Della acknowledges how hard doing that was, Mrs. Beakley commends her and assures her it will make her son a better person in the long run. Then, Della does adopt Louie’s way of thinking involving seeing all angles, allowing her to dispense with this dichotomy, thus expanding her approaches (some more subtler than others) in dealing with her kids if they step out of line. In "New Gods on The Block!", Della understands that what matters, at the end of the day, is that her kids are given room to grow.
* GoMadFromTheIsolation: Staying on the Moon with no one to talk to gradually ate away at her sanity. She never quite went crazy because of how stubborn she is, but it clearly took its toll on her. In "The Richest Duck in the World!", she says that her desperation for any kind of human contact resulted in a staring contest with the mirror that lasted for three weeks and that, to this day, she can no longer look at any mirror for fear of seeing ''her''.
* GravityIsAHarshMistress: Upon arriving back on Earth, she has to take some time to adjust to the differences in gravity between the Earth and the Moon. She learns the hard way when she tries to jump from Scrooge's driveway to his front porch, only to smack face-first into the mansion's gate.
-->'''Della:''' Dumb Earth gravity...
* HandicappedBadass: She lost her left leg during the crash and replaced it with a robotic leg, which has not diminished her capability as an experienced adventurer in the slightest.
* HeroWorship: She idolizes Scrooge, believing he can do no wrong, and even parroting his beliefs without question (as seen in "How Santa Stole Christmas!", which depicts her accepting Scrooge's hatred of Santa without even wondering why he hates him so much).
* HisOwnWorstEnemy:
** Getting stranded on the moon was her own fault. She totally ignored warnings from Scrooge and Donald, and when the ship inevitably failed, she had no way to get back.
** In her ADayInTheLimelight episode, there are several instances where her impulsive nature directly sabotages her efforts to get home. Because of her short-sightedness, she can't inform Scrooge of her whereabouts and/or fix her ship. Also, her impulsiveness causes her to go into a WildGooseChase which wastes precious time.
* {{Hubris}}: There's something classically Greek, i.e. like Icarus and Daedalus from Ancient Greece, where the rocket she designed for her ultimate adventure which she believed would give her children "the stars" ended up separating her from them for their entire childhood while leaving her stranded in space, while also estranging her family in her absence.
* HumblePie: She angrily rips Gyro's manual after she sees a note reading "even Della could it". After attempting to fix her rocket without instructions [[DidntThinkThisThrough and failing miserably]], she is forced to swallow her pride, fix the manual she previously ripped to shreds, and learn it by heart.
* HypocriteHasAPoint: Even when Louie passive-aggressively points out that his actions with the Time Tub were similar to her recklessness during the Spear of Selene incident (much to everyone’s discomfort [[JerkassHasAPoint as they know he’s right]]), Della still had every right to be angry with him for what he did.
* IHaveNoSon: [[PlayedForLaughs Played for laughs]]. Her irrational fear of fish sees her immediately disown Dewey (and the rest of the [=McDuck=] family for good measure) after he shows her his new mermaid fish tail.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: Della has a good heart but she doesn't think her actions through: more specifically how her actions will affect others.
* InexplicablyTailless: Her tailfeathers didn't poke out from her pants in the earlier episodes of season 1.
* InsistentTerminology:
** According to her, the Sunchaser was originally named the Cloudslayer when she was its pilot, and she re-renames while she's behind the controls.
** She wanted to name Huey, Dewey and Louie as Jet, Turbo and Rebel, respectively. It takes a while for her to get used to using their proper given names.
* ItRunsInTheFamily:
** Like Donald, Della inherited the legendary [=McDuck=] temper.
** She loved pulling all kinds of pranks on Donald, just like her sons do.
** A glimpse of her child self in ''Last Christmas'' shows her being quite a bit like Huey, making traps, being knowledgeable about nerd stuff with Donald as Dewey, and insisting on spending time together.
** "What Ever Happened to Della Duck?!" reveals that all three of her children inherited traits from her. Like Huey, she was a Junior Woodchuck and adds her own notes to the guidebook. Like Dewey, she hums her own theme song while behaving foolishly. And like Louie, she is savvy enough to guess how a situation is going to go (thinking she and Penumbra will become friends).
** Just like how in the Carl Barks comics and the Cartoon Donald's Nephews where Huey Dewey and Louie sent their father and Della's husband to the hospital with a Firecracker under the chair, she and Donald did the same thing to their father Quackmore Duck which is why their mother Hortense had to send them to live with Uncle Scrooge for a while.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: While Della is very reckless, it does not change the fact that she is a very kindhearted person and is usually laid back, although she does get rather volatile when she is upset.
* KidHeroAllGrownUp: Her and Donald were Scrooge's main adventuring partners prior to the Spear of Selene incident, even going back to when they were the same age as the triplets and Webby.
* LeeroyJenkins: She impulsively stole an experimental rocket, ignored Scrooge's pleas to come back, got caught in a cosmic storm and got lost in space. And later, she attempts to just ''jump off'' the moon's gravity, without considering that she might get stuck on the moon's orbit, or how she will enter the Earth's atmosphere without burning up even if she escapes. Luckily she was unsuccessful.
* {{Leitmotif}}: The Moon theme from the ''VideoGame/DuckTales'' video game is frequently used when she's around, whether it's a few bars from just before it's revealed she's stuck on the moon, to her singing it a-capella during her first attempt to get off the moon, to her lullaby, and all around the soundtrack of "What Ever Happened to Della Duck?!"
* LethalChef: It seems she's not much better of a chef than her brother or eldest son. When she tried making cakes for her kids as a gift to start taking mom responsibilities, whatever she fed Dewey gave him stomach cramps that lasted over a day. It seems she can at least make a decent flan though, which made Huey unexpectedly giddy.
* LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain:
** According to Webby, there are few pictures of Della, including the portrait that Dewey found, and no one talks about her.
** Webby mentions that one time, she found a letter about Della coming to their doorstep. Scrooge seized the letter, bought out the post office, stopped mail ever coming to the mansion, and made sure nobody saw the postman again. Though Webby is probably being overly dramatic about the last part.
** Scrooge has seemingly gone to incredible lengths to cover up what happened to her. Even the newspaper we see in the first episode "[=McDuck=] Hangs Up Spats After..." has the rest of the headline ripped off, showing that this was at least local news, but he has done such a good job covering it up that even Webby can't find anything on her.
** Donald likewise never discusses the boys' mother in front of them, merely telling them that she's "gone".
* LikeParentLikeChild: All three of her sons are in some way similar to her, a fact that isn't lost on Scrooge.
** Like Huey, she relies on the Junior Woodchuck guidebook for life advice and has some level of mechanical ingenuity; though she tends to let her own impulsivity get away with her while one of Huey's biggest flaws is that he isn't impulsive ''enough.''
** Like Dewey, she is an adrenaline junkie who finds the danger and mystery to be the highlight of their adventures, this being the very thing that got her stranded on the moon in the first place.
** Like Louie, she possesses a {{Genre Savv|y}}iness that helps her exploit certain situations and find exit strategies. Louie however does this to avoid involving himself in danger and prefers being the planner while Della usually throws herself into it, Della's savviness geared more to on-the-spot moments of stress and danger.
* LikeParentUnlikeChild: Della is more reckless, impulsive, and HotBlooded than cautious Huey and scheming Louie.
* MamaBear: Spent the last decade working tirelessly to return to Earth to see her boys. Now that they're reunited, Della is never letting anything come between them again.
* MaternallyChallenged: She was separated from her children from before they hatched to when they are about eleven and struggles to figure out how to parent from a combination of inexperience, her own personality being more 'one of the kids' than anything, and some sanity damage from being gone for so long. That being said, Della Duck is hard at work trying to figure it all out, and everyone around her is willing to help and give her some slack while she learns the ropes a decade in.
* MissingMom: We already knew that Donald has been raising the triplets since they were babies; now it seems that, unlike in many adaptations, we're going to find out ''why.'' Indeed, Dewey admits to Webby that all Uncle Donald told them about their mother was that she was gone.
* {{Nephewism}}: It's implied that Scrooge raised her and Donald, and losing Della was as devastating as if he had lost his own daughter.
* NeverSpeakIllOfTheDead: Despite her disappearance being largely her own fault, Donald and the triplets ignore her actions and put most of the blame on Scrooge for building the rocket. Even when Scrooge defends himself, he chooses to point out everything he did to try to save her rather than Della's poor choices. However, when Della gets back to Earth and reunites with the family, they start to get more critical of what she did to get stranded on the moon in the first place -- especially Mrs. Beakley. Scrooge tries to give her the benefit of the doubt, up until "Raiders of the Doomsday Vault!" when she exhibits the traits that got her stranded on the moon, and he ''explodes'' over her immaturity.
* NiceHat: Any pictures of her showed she always wore an aviator's hat and goggles.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Her refusal to control her impulses and hijacking of the Spear of Selene led to her own disappearance in outer space, her uncle and brother's relationship being strained, and her sons having to grow up without their mother and their uncle struggling to provide for them.
* NotQuiteDead: TheStinger for "The Shadow War!" (and thus for Season 1 as a whole) reveals Della is still alive, crash-landed on the Moon, and only just now learning that her family has come back together.
* ObliviousToHatred: She absolutely cannot see that Penumbra cannot abide her presence, let alone consider her a friend. Penumbra belatedly considered Della a friend after Lunaris reveals his true colors, leaving Della none the wiser.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: After several episodes of purely being the cool mom who lets her kids get away with anything, her furiously snarling Louie's name upon discovering he's behind the Timephoon shows just how bad things have gotten. After everything's cleared up, she insists on grounding him, and goes to quite impressive lengths to make sure it's a fitting punishment.
* PalsWithJesus: She is fondly remembered by Selene, goddess of the Moon, as well as the demigod Storkules.
* ParentalAbandonment: Even worse than the comics version, she left her triplets to go on a spaceship ''before they even hatched''. Though "abandonment" is a bit of an inappropriate word, given that she was fully intending to be back in time for their hatching.
* ParentalHypocrisy: Is hit with this in "Timephoon!" when she chews Louie out for stealing the time-travelling tub without thinking of the consequences or the people that could be hurt. Louie replies "[[ArmorPiercingResponse I wonder who I got that from]]". This doesn't stop her from putting her foot down and grounding him (in fact, it just seemed to ''encourage'' it).
* ParentsAsPeople:
** By all accounts, she was a loving niece to Scrooge, sister to Donald, and friend to Selene; and, in Scrooge's words, "wanted to give [her] kids the stars." But she was also a hard-core adrenaline junkie who balked at the new responsibilities facing her for motherhood, and (at the very least) put her thrill-seeking before her own unhatched children, and disappeared into a cosmic storm, crash-landing on the Moon in the process.
** This was shown as a driving theme in "Nothing Can Stop Della Duck!" She finally meets her children, and goes out of her way to try and make up on lost time. But considering she basically missed the necessary transition into motherhood, there's no way she would be mentally prepared to be a proper mother right off the bat. Scrooge knows this, and lets the boys know that, like they will have to get used to having a mother, she will have to get used to being one.
** In "Timephoon!", she allows the kids to do what they want, believing it was fine to let kids be kids and because she's still new to parenting. But as the episode goes on further, she realizes that Beakley pointing out that small problems can slowly grow into big problems becoming relevant when she discovers the storm was Louie's fault. At the end of the episode, despite how hard it is for her, she puts her foot down when Louie is EasilyForgiven by everyone else and points out how reckless he was in putting his family in danger. After she grounds him and sends him to his room, she is visibly tired at having to be tough on Louie, but Beakley does praise her for it.
* ParentalNeglect: The flashbacks in "The Last Crash of the Sunchaser!" show her distracted by her desire to go into space, to the point where Donald was stuck looking after the triplets (who, for the record, were still eggs at this point). Turns out she never wanted to neglect them. She did everything she could to get back, but kept failing miserably due to an alien monster sabotaging her efforts.
* ParentalSubstitute: As first shown in "The Golden Armory of Cornelius Coot!", her motherhood extends to Webby, who presumably doesn't have a mother.
* ThePollyanna: She's BornUnlucky like Donald, but unlike him she's optimistic and always sees the bright side of thing. Most people would be upset about having to amputate their leg -- but Della's positively giddy about having a cool robot leg.
* PowerTrio: Was this with Scrooge and Donald, stabilizing the dynamic of the greedy Scrooge against the downtrodden Donald with someone who enjoys adventuring, but isn't in it for the money, accepting the quest and cheap trinkets as her rewards.
* ThePrankster: She loved pranks and even left a big elaborate prank at Castle [=McDuck=] just for Donald.
* PresentAbsence: Though she's not around, her fate is the first season's DrivingQuestion.
* PromotionToOpeningTitles: She's been edited into the opening sequence in Season 3, officially establishing her as a core cast member.
* PungeonMaster: It's easy to see where Dewey got it from.
-->'''Louie''': Euh boy, now there's two of 'em.
* PushoverParents: Is often criticized by Beakley for not disciplining her boys. Though she would ultimately subvert this by grounding Louie for using a stolen time travel device to steal treasure from the past, which resulted in a massive disruption of the space-time continuum that nearly got everyone killed and/or lost in time.
* RiddleForTheAges: Who is the father of Della's children?
* SanityBall: She picks it up when having to teach Launchpad how to fly.
* SanitySlippage: Time on the moon did NOT bode well for her sanity, and she kept losing it the more she failed. Unfortunately, it has become chronic; certain things trigger it like mirrors, because Della found herself talking in a mirror while she was stranded on the moon until she couldn't take it anymore and wanted contact with real people. And then when she gets stranded on a deserted island, she starts regressing back to her lack of sanity due to being a similar situation when she crash-landed on the moon.
* ScarfOfAsskicking: She is always seen wearing a teal scarf, is an adventurer, and a picture of her showed her sword fighting with a pirate. Said scarf was a gift from her brother, and she still sports it while stranded on the moon.
* SharedFamilyQuirks: While she doesn't have quite the temper of her brother Donald, when she snaps, she goes into the exact same UnstoppableRage as he does.
* StockYuck: Is less than happy that her Oxy-Chew only comes in black licorice flavor. She also spits out buttermilk upon an attempt to drink it, just like Webby.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Della greatly resembles a younger version of her Aunt Matilda. [[spoiler: She also looked identical to her cousin Webby as a child.]]
* SuddenlyVoiced: After 5 silent appearances in the first season, Della suddenly speaks in the season 1 finale, "The Shadow War!".
* ThrillSeeker: It's ultimately established by "The Last Crash of the Sunchaser!" that Della was the biggest adrenaline junkie in the family, always obsessed with exploring new vistas and going on grand adventures. So much so that, when the family came to the realization they'd explored just about everywhere on Earth, Della decided she wanted to go into space. She vanished before the triplets hatched because she impulsively stole the prototype rocket that Scrooge made, only to be swept away by a cosmic storm which she refused to turn back from.
* TimePassageBeard: GenderInverted, her hair is shown to have grown very long during her years stranded in space.
* {{Tomboy}}: She’s a feisty, adventurous, and rambunctious adrenaline junkie who is almost always seen in her pilot uniform and has a knack for pulling pranks.
* TooDumbToLive: Subverted: While it was extremely foolish to steal the Spear of Selene from Scrooge and drive it into space all alone, the season 1 finale reveals that she's still alive and kicking on the moon.
* TragicHero: Della Duck had everything going for her: heir to the richest duck in the world, a massive mansion to live in with servants at her beck and call, three children on the way, a storied adventuring career at the ripe old age of [[VagueAge 20-something]], and was getting a rocket ship for her birthday. And in classic TragicHero fashion, it was all taken away from her by her FatalFlaw when she took said rocket for a joyride.
** Her {{Hubris}} kept her from turning back when she got caught in a cosmic storm.
** Her Impulsiveness caused her to get into a fist-fight with an alien, kicking up so much dust that a rescue party could not see her crash site.
** In a fit of Anger, she tore apart the ship's instruction manual when she saw that [[InsufferableGenius Gyro]] had insulted her in the margins.
** And to top it all off, she had to spend the entire time chewing [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Black Licorice Oxy-Chew]] to stay alive.
* TraumaButton: Her time alone on the moon serves as this for Della. Whenever she talks about it she gets a ThousandYardStare and her voice becomes more monotone until she snaps out of it. "The Richest Duck in the World!" suggests she went slightly mad from the isolation as her desperation for any kind of human contact resulted in a staring contest that lasted three weeks and a fear of her own reflection from then on.
* WalkingSpoiler: It's hard to talk about her without spoiling the answers to the first season's DrivingQuestion.
* WasTooHardOnHim:
** In "The Golden Armory of Cornelius Coot!", she gets increasingly frustrated with Launchpad for his unorthodox methods in operating the Sunchaser/Cloudslayer, eventually blowing at him for crashing into the mountain which could have gotten them killed (and is surprised they survived). When she has a heart-to-heart talk with Webby about not having to be someone else to be worthy, she realizes she was forcing Launchpad exactly the opposite of her lesson and decides she must apologize to him.
** It is implied she felt this way about Louie too after grounding him in "Timephoon!". She admits that it was a very hard thing to do and in "Moonvasion!", she interacts with him very warmly, having a lot more screen-time with him in particular than the others.
* WhatIsThisFeeling: In "Timephoon!", the look on her face when she sees that her kids are in danger and space and time is unraveling in front of her, and it was all caused by ''Louie,'' reveals that this is the first time she's ever felt real, maternal AngerBornOfWorry.
* WhatTheHellHero: Gives a big one to Louie in "Timephoon!" when his scheme goes out of control and nearly erases the present characters from existence, finishing it off by [[YouAreGrounded grounding him]].
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: She can't stand fish, even anything related to fish. Della immediately arms the family submarine's torpedoes upon meeting a race of merpeople, and chooses to stay on the sub instead of going out to meet them.
* {{Womanchild}}: Very immature and impulsive for a mother of three, Della more-or-less still has the mindset of a teenager instead of an adult. She wanted to her name her sons Jet, Turbo and Rebel and is rather put-out that Donald went against her wishes. And whenever she encounters an obstacle she can't simply power her way through, she pouts and calls it "dumb". [[JustifiedTrope Justifed by the fact she hasn't been able to actually act like a mom and spent a decade without raising them. The fact she spent a decade in isolation on the Moon likely adds to this.]]
* YouAreGrounded: It takes a while for her to stop trying to be the cool parent and just be "Mom", having spent so long away from her kids and not wanting to lose them a second time. However, "Timephoon!" has a moment where Louie nearly causes everyone to be TrappedInThePast over trying to shortcut his way to money -- ''again''. Della finally shows some ToughLove and grounds Louie for it.

[[caption-width-right:283: "I'm going to eat a hamburger!"]]
->'''Voiced By''': Creator/KateMicucci, Creator/ErikaUgalde (Latin American Spanish)

The granddaughter of Mrs. Beakley who is a huge fan of the [=McDuck=] family and happy to finally have friends.

She likes pink.

* AccentsArentHereditary: Webby was raised by her British grandmother and "never heard an American accent until [she] was seven", but her natural accent is completely American.
* ActionGirl: Learned "everything she knows" from her grandmother, including how to fight.
* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: {{Zigzagged|Trope}}. 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 [[AdaptationalNiceGuy 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 [[IJustWantToHaveFriends desire for friends]].
* 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 to take care of herself" is a massive understatement.
* AdaptationalIntelligence: 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.
* 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.
* AesopAmnesia: 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, [[HorribleJudgeOfCharacter regardless of Santa's kind and friendly demeanour]].
* AffectionateNickname:
** "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!".
* AgeLift: In the previous series, Webby was younger than the triplets. Here, WordOfGod confirmed she is around the same age as them.[[invoked]]
* AllGirlsLikePonies: 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 [[SubvertedTrope not for their cuteness or beauty, but their badassery]], calling them "[[CallARabbitASmeerp sword horses]]".
* AloneWithThePsycho: 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.
* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: 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!
* ArtificialFamilyMember: [[spoiler:Was created by F.O.W.L. from Scrooge's DNA in order to find the Papyrus of Binding, thus making her his daughter.]]
* 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. [[spoiler: And in the finale, it turns out she's a blood relative, being Scrooge's daughter via F.O.W.L.'s plotting.]]
* 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.
--->'''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 of a friendly waitress, but Webby screws it up and ends up ruining the entire scheme.
** [[spoiler:"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.]]
* BewareTheNiceOnes: 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 De Spell, Webby tries her best to beat Magica's ass, [[spoiler: 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.
* TheBigGuy: 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".
* BigNo:
** 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 [[spoiler:Magica seemingly destroys Lena]].
* BirdsOfAFeather: Out of all the triplets, she's the closest with Dewey due to their mutual love of adventure and conquering dangerous situations.
* BrotherSisterTeam: With the triplets, whom she shares a [[PlatonicLifePartners platonic]] and sibling-like relationships with. They go on adventures together and fight alongside one another during danger.
* CallARabbitASmeerp: She calls unicorns "sword horses", mostly because it's a more badass name.
* CallingParentsByTheirName: [[spoiler: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.]]
* CatchPhrase: She introduces herself to every new character they encounter with "[[AlwaysIntroducesThemselves Hi! I'm Webby.]]"
* CharacterDevelopment: 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 CallBack 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.
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: 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 Launchpad after a chest-bump and [[EffortlessAmazonianLift easily carrying]] a ''freaking heavy'' sword that even Dewey had difficult with. [[spoiler:She even manages to give ''[[EvilSorceress Magica]]'' and ''[[ArtificialLimbs Black Heron]]'' a hard time.]]
* ChewingTheScenery: 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 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]] ''[[PreMortemOneLiner a tomb.]]''
* CloningBlues: [[spoiler:"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.]]
* ColorCodedCharacters: With the triplets; Webby's associated with pink/purple.
* ColorCodedWizardry: [[spoiler:The magic that comes from Webby and Lena's friendship glows with a bright blue color.]]
* CompositeCharacter: [[spoiler: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]].
* 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.
* CulturedBadass: Webby is a CunningLinguist, plays the cello, and is a BadassNormal fighter.
* CunningLinguist: She can understand Egyptian hieroglyphics, Greek, and Portuguese.
* CuteButPsycho: 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."
* DaddysGirl: [[spoiler:Retroactively. Webby has openly admired Scrooge for her entire life and he has been her HonoraryUncle since late in the first season, though neither of them were aware that they were biologically father and daughter until the GrandFinale.]]
* DeadpanSnarker: If Huey, Dewey and/or Louie's antics slip into WhatAnIdiot territory, Webby will usually become this.
* DeathGlare: She gives one to Louie in "The Missing Links of Moorshire!" when he instinctively gestures for payment in exchange for a golf club.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: 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
* DitzyGenius: 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.
* DoesNotKnowHerOwnStrength:
** 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 '''[[RuleOfFunny Launchpad]]'''. They earlier tried a high-five, both hurting their hands.
* DoesNotLikeSpam: 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.
* DopeSlap: Gives Louie a Dope ''Punch'' when he steals her idea on taming the harpies after dismissing it earlier. Since MusclesAreMeaningless, said punch sends him flying.
* DragonRider: 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 [[Characters/DuckTales2017MinorAntagonists Pixiu]], though it's unclear whether this is just a fantasy or something that happens.
* DrinkBasedCharacterization: Her favorite drink is juice which represents her being an energetic child.
* EasilyForgiven: 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. [[spoiler:Mrs. Beakley's annoyed by the lying, but shrugs off the adventure as perfectly safe with Scrooge supervising.]]
* EmpoweredBadassNormal: 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.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: 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 [[MotorMouth excitedly]] asks them questions about being related to Scrooge and Donald. This shows her fighting prowess and fangirling of the [=McDuck=]-Duck family.
* EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs: One of her life-long goals is to high-five a ''Brontosaurus''.
* EverythingsBetterWithSparkles: She keeps one of her books covered with sparkles because she likes it.
* ExplainExplainOhCrap:
** 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.
* FakeBrit: InUniverse, Webby is good at faking a UK accent if the occasion is needed, [[{{Justified|Trope}} 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 {{Squee}}s 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.
* FatalFlaw: 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.
* FluffyTamer: "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}}: [[spoiler: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.]]
* FourTemperamentEnsemble: Forms this with the triplets, she is the Sanguine (cheerful and energetic).
* FreudianTrio: 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.
* FriendOrIdolDecision: When Dewey breaks down and admits he doesn't want them to enter the Garden of Selene for fear that it will turn out [[spoiler:Della was a bad person,]] Webby clearly weighs the desire to discover something about [[spoiler: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.
* FriendlessBackground: She had no friends prior to meeting the triplets, which results in her having a [[IJustWantToHaveFriends a strong desire to make friends]] but also [[NoSocialSkills a notable lack of social skills]].
* FriendshipTrinket: She makes a friendship bracelet for her and Lena. Magica forces Lena to remove it at the end of "Jaw$!". [[spoiler:Webby's bracelet is later used as a totem to bring Lena back from the Shadow Realm.]]
* FriendToAllLivingThings: Webby tends to be friendly and cuddly towards non-sapient animals.
* FriendToBugs: Averted, but apparently in the pilot, her OnlyFriend would have been a spider named Morocco Pete.
* GadgeteerGenius: Seems to have a knack for setting traps, such as her EstablishingCharacterMoment 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!".
* GenerationXerox: To Della Duck. Both are adventurous, excitable {{Action Girl}}s who have father/daughter relationship with Scrooge. They even pose the same way in "Moonvasion!". [[spoiler: This takes on a whole other meaning when the finale reveals that Webby and Della are first cousins.]]
* 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.
* GirlsLoveChocolate: 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.
* TheGlomp: 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.
* GoMadFromTheIsolation: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. 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.
* GoodIsNotSoft: [[spoiler:As Black Heron and Magica De Spell find out, Webby has no problem using lethal force against them.]]
* GrapplingHookPistol: Webby's main tool in getting herself into and out of dangerous moments.
* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: Bouncing is a surprisingly dangerous ability, especially when the bouncer is already a skilled BadassNormal.
* HereditaryHairstyle: [[spoiler:WordOfGod 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]]
* HeroWorship:
** Webby thinks the utter world of Scrooge [=McDuck=], to the point that it's her first assumption that [[spoiler: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.
* HiddenDepths: She took cello lessons for seven years.
* IconicItem: Has two -- Her NightVisionGoggles and GrapplingHookPistol.
* IJustWantToBeFree: 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.
* 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.
* ILetGwenStacyDie: [[spoiler:Webby felt responsible for losing Lena to the Shadow Realm, and her supposed death has haunted her in the months to come, 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 convinced Webby she can bring Lena back]].
* InnocentlyInsensitive: In "The Spear of Selene!" she is so blinded by her HeroWorship of Scrooge and the hype of solving the mystery of [[spoiler:Della Duck's disappearance]] that she doesn't realize how afraid of the potentially AwfulTruth Dewey is until he physically bars her path.
* InTheBlood: [[spoiler:As the cloned daughter of Scrooge, it's clear that she takes after him in a number of ways, like sheer badassery.]]
* {{Irony}}: She is excited at the idea of "talking animals wearing clothes", even though technically everyone in the show is one.
* ItsPersonal: She ''doesn't'' take [[spoiler:Magica's]] attempt to ruin the lives of her friends and family very well, and in particular seems to target [[spoiler:the witch especially hard over the loss of Lena.]]
* LaserGuidedTykebomb: [[spoiler:DoubleSubverted. 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.]]
* LethalChef: Webby and Launchpad try to make a special dinner for the boys and Donald, [[spoiler: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.
* LikeADaughterToMe:
** 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. [[spoiler: When the shadow army attempts to attack her and the triplets, he shouts, "[[PapaWolf Get away from my kids]]!"]]
** [[spoiler: Della also treats her like one of her kids, even giving her motherly advice in "The Golden Armory of Cornelius Coot!"]].
* LikeBrotherAndSister: 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 VitriolicBestBuds 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 ToxicFriendInfluence teaching Webby how to DoWrongRight, or Webby getting annoyed with him over his tendency to cut corners and take the easy way out.
* LikeParentLikeChild: She is [[StrongAndSkilled tougher than the toughies,]] [[SmartGirl smarter than the smarties,]] and [[MasterActor sharper than the sharpies]] [[spoiler:just like her genetic progenator; Scrooge [=McDuck=]!]]
* LittleMissBadass: 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.
* LittleStowaway: 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.
* LonelyRichKid: 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 [[FriendlessBackground first friends ever]].
* MasterActor: In "Escape From the Impossibin!" she reveals that she has perfected the art of impersonation 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.
* MoralityPet: To Lena. It was her friendship with the older duck that helped the latter undergo her HeelFaceTurn.
* MostFanficWritersAreGirls: Webby did some ''very'' elaborate WorldBuilding for the legendary race of Terra-firmians. Although they turn out to be RealAfterAll, it appears that the history and culture Webby described was all in her head.
* MotorMouth: Webby speaks in a rapid, high-paced manner.
* MsExposition: 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.
* 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: 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.
* MysteriousPast: 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 -- [[spoiler: 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.]]
* NiceGirl: Webby may be strange and have poor social skills, but she's nonetheless sweet and caring.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero:
** 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 [[spoiler:Della betrayed Scrooge and Donald or otherwise selfishly put them into harm's way.]]
** In "Jaw$!" because Webby ''blabbed'' that Scrooge's [[NumberOneDime #1 Dime]] isn't in the vault, the money shark decided to leave the vault, go look for it, and cause havoc doing so.
* NightVisionGoggles: Webby owns a pair the glows bright green.
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: Lampshaded when she turns the page of a book a stranger is reading entitled "The Joy of Personal Space." [[{{Hypocrite}} 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.
** This causes major problems in "The Last Crash of the Sunchaser!". [[spoiler: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.]]
* NoYou: When Huey dismisses the Terra-Firmians as "ridiculous", Webby retorts "''You're'' ridiculous!"
* NotSoAboveItAll: Even she is charmed by Gladstone despite the fact that she is a prime expert on Scrooge [=McDuck=], and his work values.
* OhCrap: Her reaction in "The Beagle Birthday Massacre!" when realizing that Lena just brought her to Ma Beagle's birthday party.
* OhCrapSmile: 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.
* OneOfTheBoys: 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 ActionGirl with little experience outside of situations of peril.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness:
** [[spoiler: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 HeroWorshipper of Scrooge [=McDuck=], decides to side against him, you know the duck has done something wrong or is acting weird.
* OppositeSexClone: [[spoiler:Was created from Scrooge’s DNA to find the Papyrus of Binding, though she's never actually referred to as a clone.]]
* PalsWithJesus: She has an autographed photo of the demon Rakshasa signed, "Love, Rakky". She's also good friends with Greek goddess Selene and demigod Storkules.
* TheParanoiac: As a result of Beakley's intense training, Webby is quick to assume that any surprises are some kind of trap or sneak attack.
* PinkMeansFeminine: {{Downplayed|Trope}}, she's a TomboyWithAGirlyStreak who primarily wears pink and purple.
* PintSizedPowerhouse: 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.
* ThePollyanna: Webby believes in the best of people. Beakley even states that her optimism is her main strength.
* PowerOfFriendship: In "Jaw$!" she believes it can stop the money shark. [[spoiler:It does.]] This is despite being explicitly told by Lena that it isn't a thing.
* PracticallyDifferentGenerations: [[spoiler: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.]]
* ProperlyParanoid: 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.
* PurpleIsPowerful: {{Downplayed|Trope}}, her regular outfit is a combination of pink and purple shades, but Webby is much more Badass in this series.
* RaisedByGrandparents: As Mrs. Beakley stated, "[She] has enough excitement caring for Webby".
* RelatedDifferentlyInTheAdaptation: [[spoiler:Her relation to Mrs. Beakley is adoptive rather than biological]].
* RelatedInTheAdaptation: [[spoiler: 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]].
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: [[spoiler:She went all-out on Magica for taking Lena away from her.]]
* SacrificedBasicSkillForAwesomeTraining: 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.
* SayingTooMuch: When Dewey gets cornered by Scrooge's security bot, it's intruder warning starts to get a little too specific...
--> '''"Bot"''': [[AC: 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. [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial No one you know. Certain...hypothetical people.]]]]
-->'''Dewey''': (FacePalm) ''Webby'', you can come out. ''[Webby opens up the bot's hatch and nervously chuckles]''
* ScreamingWoman: {{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$!".
* SecretKeeper: 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.
* SensoryOverload: 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.
* SeriousBusiness: 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...
* ShipperOnDeck: For Fenton and Gandra Dee, as she helps set up a romantic atmosphere for the couple along with Huey.
* SlippedTheRopes: 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.
* 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.
* SoProudOfYou: 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 [[UpToEleven entire episode]] of "The Secret(s) of Castle [=McDuck=]!".
* StalkerWithoutACrush: She is ''really'' interested in Scrooge, to the point that he's a little weirded out.
* StockYuck: 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.
* StrongAndSkilled: A PintSizedPowerhouse who has been expertly trained by her grandmother, a retired spy.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: [[spoiler: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.]]
* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial:
** 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)'' [[ImplausibleDeniability 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.
* SweetTooth: In "The House of the Lucky Gander!", she gets all excited upon seeing a [[GirlsLoveChocolate 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.
* ThrowTheBookAtThem: 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.
* TokenHouseguest: Webby is the only member of the main cast who isn't a part of the [=McDuck=] bloodline or on Scrooge's payroll. [[spoiler: Eventually averted with the series finale's reveal that she was Scrooge's daughter via cloning all along.]]
* TomatoInTheMirror: [[spoiler: She doesn’t take well TheReveal that she’s a clone created by the F.O.W.L. as a pawn to the plan of destroying Scrooge [=McDuck=]. She changes her tune when she discovers that her progenitor is Scrooge himself, making her his biological daughter.]]
* TomboynessUpgrade: In the original series, she was very much a GirlyGirl, but in this reboot, she is far more of a tomboy, albeit one with a prominent [[TomboyWithAGirlyStreak 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.
* 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, loves ponies, 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 "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.
* TurnTheOtherCheek: [[spoiler: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.]]
* UnderestimatingBadassery: Invoked in "From the Confidential Casefiles of Agent 22!". Scrooge says a bunch of stuff about Webby, like her being a DamselInDistress, to get Black Heron to underestimate her and let her guard down.
* UndyingLoyalty: To Scrooge. She is his biggest {{fangirl}}, HeroWorshipper, and staunch supporter when others begin to question him.
* UnrelatedInTheAdaptation: [[spoiler:The original code name F.O.W.L. gave her was April meaning that, [[CompositeCharacter 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.]]
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: 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.
* WaifFu: 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.
* WalkingSpoiler: While her general characteristics and personality is not one, her backstory is shrouded in mystery, making her this.
* WasItAllALie: [[spoiler: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.]]
* WeNeedADistraction: 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.
* 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.''
* WhatTheHellHero:
** She all but asks WhatWereYouThinking 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 [[spoiler: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 HeroicBSOD.
* WhatYouAreInTheDark: 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.

[[caption-width-right:350:"And one secretary for an old man who seems to have forgotten that I am not his ''secretary''!"]]

-> '''Voiced By''': Toks Olagundoye, Cony Wood (Latin American Spanish)

Scrooge [=McDuck=]'s housekeeper, bodyguard, and most definitely not his secretary.
----
* AdaptationalBadass: In the previous series, Mrs. Beakley ''did'' have some action moments, but was still a DamselInDistress most of the time. Here, she is given a HeroicBuild, taught martial arts to her ActionGirl granddaughter, ''and'' in her introductory short, she's shown to casually ''suck up a BedsheetGhost in her vacuum cleaner'', an act that would cause the original Beakley to pass out in fear.
* AdaptationalCurves: In the original series, Mrs. Beakley had a stereotypical granny-like body. In this adaptation, she is given a HeroicBuild.
* AdaptationalNationality: In the 1987 series, she was American. Here, she is given a British accent.
* AdaptationPersonalityChange: In the original, Beakley was the epitome of a GrannyClassic. Here, while still grandmotherly, she's also more sarcastic and serious, and is given a backstory as a spy.
* AdultFear:
** Finding out that her granddaughter sneaked out of the house to go with Scrooge, and lied to her. She tells Webby that while hanging out with Scrooge is more than fine, to at least be honest with her about it.
** In "Terror of the Terra-Firmians!", because she was helping Launchpad with his phobia of mole people, she's distracted long enough for Lena to take Webby and Huey down to the subway, and going down the abandoned tracks. Unsurprisingly, she chews out Lena for endangering everyone with her recklessness.
** In "From the Confidential Casefiles of Agent 22!", Black Heron [[WouldHurtAChild threatens to shoot Webby in the head]] if Beakley doesn't give up the bounce formula. Beakley quickly complies in order to save her granddaughter. Before that happens, Beakley yells at Scrooge for bringing Webby along on the rescue mission as Black Heron is a dangerous enemy.
* AdvertisedExtra: While she's still a major protagonist who plays an integral part in the overall story, with the opening and promotional material agreeing with this, her appearances are surprisingly scattered throughout the series, beating out even Donald for lowest amount total in the show. She does appear more in the second season (but appears even less in season 3 at only '''eight''' total episodes, being the only main character to have a single digit episode count in a season), though her final episode count is still fairly sparse.
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: She found the Ghost of Christmas Future appealing for his dark cloak and grim appearance. She still feels this way in the present, as she gives Future a flirty look.
* AlliterativeName: '''B'''entina '''B'''eakley.
* AllTakeAndNoGive: Present but played sympathetically; Mrs. Beakley expects Webby to be 100% honest with her, while keeping her granddaughter in the dark about certain {{Awful Truth}}s for her own good.
* AngerBornOfWorry: The minute she finds Webby, Lena, and Huey after they went down to the abandoned subway tunnels in "Terror of the Terra-Firmians!", Mrs. Beakley chews them out for going into a dangerous place.
* ApronMatron: Wears an apron and is the ''boss'' of [=McDuck=] manor after Scrooge.
* BadassInCharge: Served as the director of S.H.U.S.H. for a time.
* BadassInDistress: She is an incredibly strong and tough duck, but even she cannot protect herself from a train car falling on her. Lena's magic is the only thing that saves her.
* BadassTeacher: Webby mentioned Mrs. Beakley taught her about martial arts and to be CrazyPrepared. Given Webby taking on both Gabby [=McStabberson=] in the pilot and Bigtime and Ma Beagle in "Daytrip of Doom!", and ''winning'', Beakley was an excellent teacher.
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: She lampshades this in "Daytrip of Doom!". She had told Scrooge to spend more time with his family, but she didn't want them to move in and cause chaos immediately.
* BerserkButton:
** Beakley does ''not'' appreciate when Scrooge treats her like a secretary.
** [=McDuck=] Manor may belong to Scrooge, but it's ''her'' house. Be prepared for her wrath if you mess with it.
* BorrowedCatchphrase: It takes Beakley about ten seconds of trying to keep the houseboat together for her to unintentionally adopt Donald's catchphrases and mannerisms (i.e.: "What's the big idea?" and "Oh, phooey!")
* BriefAccentImitation: Beakley can imitate other people's accents. Being a former secret agent, she was likely trained to do this since her job did require her to go undercover from time to time.
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: Displays this during her time as Agent 22 and after.
* CodeName: Agent 22.
* TheComicallySerious: Her voice actress for the series, Toks Olagundoye, described her as having absolutely no sense of humor -- "but that's funny, trust me."
* CompositeCharacter:
** She's essentially a melding of the original show's Duckworth (British, comically serious, posh, proper, and sarcastic) and Mrs. Beakley (grandmotherly).
** She also used to share some traits with Gryzlikoff from ''WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck'', being a [[ByTheBookCop by-the-book agent]] of S.H.U.S.H.
* TheConscience: Serves as a voice of caution and love for Scrooge on several occasions. Whether he listens or not of course depends on the day.
* CoolOldLady: A grandmother, is an expert martial artist, the BadassTeacher to her BadassAdorable granddaughter, and is TheDreaded.
* CovertPervert: The stoic grandmother flirts with the Ghost of Christmas Future and a fondly remembers a few of her missions in a romantic, dreamy kind of way.
* CrazyPrepared: A given trait since she trained her granddaughter to be prepared for anything.
* CulturedBadass:
* TheCynic: She believes that everyone is out to get something and you shouldn't trust anyone.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Implied. She was an agent for S.H.U.S.H., which no doubt put her in dangerous situations but her heavy [[TheCynic cynicism]] also indicates that she has had troubles with trusting people.
* DeadpanSnarker: When you're the OnlySaneWoman in a household full of kooky characters, it's expected.
* DecompositeCharacter: Her nature as an {{Expy}} of Grandma Duck has been expunged, and it is even hinted that the latter may exist within this universe. In addition, despite many of her character traits being shared with the original show's Duckworth, it's shown in "[=McMystery=] at [=McDuck=] [=McManor!=]" that he ''does'' exist in this continuity.
* DivergentCharacterEvolution: She is Scrooge's housekeeper who's been with him for a number of years. In the original, she was hired to be the triplets' nanny in addition to being the housekeeper.
* DoWrongRight: In "[=McMystery=] at [=McDuck=] [=McManor=]!" she criticizes Webby for bringing a crossbow on their annual survivor skills trip. Webby then retrieves a set of bow and arrows, which Beakley approves of.
* TheDreaded: When Ma Beagle expects Scrooge to rescue his kidnapped nephews and Webby, Mrs. Beakley's the one she prepares for, describing her as "[=McDuck's=] high-falutin' hooligan Beakley".
* EstablishingCharacterMoment:
** While her appearance in the pilot episode, "Woo-oo!", is scarce compared to the others, it's enough to get a look at her central character -- her first major scene is opening up the door for the triplets after Scrooge closes the door on them and then quietly advising Scrooge to talk to his nephews; these scenes show she's Scrooge's hypercompetent housekeeper. Her second main scene shows her busting into Scrooge's office when it sounds like he's being attacked and when Scrooge [[BerserkButton treats her like his secretary]], she proceeds to throw a pen straight into the wall hard enough to puncture said wall; this shows her impressive strength and skill. Afterwards, Webby mentions Beakley being a "bit overprotective" and during the second half of the pilot, she called her granddaughter ''47 times'' to know where she is; this shows her protectiveness over her grandchild. And when she and Webby reunite, Beakley makes it known that she already knew Webby was lying about her whereabouts in a stern fashion before calmly telling Webby how much she trusts Scrooge and as long as Webby doesn't lie, she can go adventuring with him, and proceeds to pull her into a hug; this shows that she's not easily fooled, the deep trust she has in her boss, and that despite her serious, no-nonsense nature, she's still a caring grandmother.
** Before the series began Disney posted introduction videos. In Beakley's she vacuums up a ghost that was chasing the kids without breaking a sweat.
* EveryoneHasStandards:
** While she has every right to be angered by Scrooge's words and actions like with the others in "The Last Crash of the Sunchaser!", she isn't spiteful enough to allow his family to leave him. Helps that she has already cooled off a few days afterwards and is mature enough to know better than to hold a grudge.
** [[spoiler:As much as she disapproves of Della's lax parenting, she gets angry with Louie for his scathing declaration that his mother is just as responsible as him.]]
* ExactWords: During "The Last Crash of the Sunchaser!" she tells Scrooge and Dewey to stop running inside the plane. So they walk slowly instead.
-->'''Mrs. Beakley''': That is not what I meant and you know it.
* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: In the present day, she wears a PrimAndProperBun fitting for her job as a housekeeper. When she met Scrooge, she sported a bouffant, as a stylistic nod to the 1960s spy series ''Series/TheAvengers1960s''.
* FakeAmerican: InUniverse, she's capable of faking an American accent, such as when she pretends to be Roxanne Featherly when helping Scrooge with his interview.
* FatalFlaw: Perfectionism. As a S.H.U.S.H. agent she's a ByTheBookCop who follows protocol and has memorized all mission data with her photographic memory. Outside of S.H.U.S.H missions, this translates to an overprotectiveness streak that she applies to the children in her care. She has ensured that her granddaughter has been trained in various forms of combat and espionage so that she could defend herself should danger ever find her, but still insists that she stays at [=McDuck=] Manor anyway, Webby's first adventure being when she snuck out in "[[Recap/DuckTales2017S1E2DaytripOfDoom Daytrip of Doom!]]" While she trusts Scrooge to look after the children when they go off on adventures, when she sees his lack of caution when handling a life or death situation in "[[Recap/DuckTales2017S1E22TheLastCrashOfTheSunchaser The Last Crash of the Sunchaser!]]" she openly questions him. She would later hold a critical eye over Della's hands-off parenting methods in "[[Recap/DuckTales2017S2E12NothingCanStopDellaDuck Nothing Can Stop Della Duck!]]" and "[[Recap/DuckTales2017S2E21Timephoon Timephoon!]]", a fact that [[JerkassHasAPoint isn't necessarily wrong]]. This is eventually led to its apex in "[[Recap/DuckTales2017S3E13EscapeFromTheImpossibin Escape from the Impossibin!]]", where she puts Huey and Dewey through TrainingFromHell that accomplishes nothing but psychological trauma, using Webby as an accessory to this out of a paranoid fear for everyone's safety.
* {{Foil}}: To Donald as an overprotective guardian. Donald is a worry-wort, while Mrs. Beakley trained Webby to be "ready for anything". Additionally while Donald doesn't like the idea of his nephews of going on adventures, Mrs. Beakley is perfectly fine with Webby going on adventures with Scrooge as long as she doesn't lie about it, because she knows she'll be safer with Scrooge than anybody else; Donald, on the other hand, does ''not'' trust his uncle (and with good reason). Inversely their parenting styles have different effects on their children; Donald may be a worrywart but Huey, Dewey, and Louie are well-adjusted, whereas Mrs. Beakley trained Webby to be "ready for anything" but never let her leave the mansion until the nephews came, meaning she has NoSocialSkills and has no idea on how to act in a normal setting.
* GeniusBruiser: She's powerful with a muscular build to match, but also very intelligent and the most levelheaded of the main cast.
* GoodIsNotSoft: Beakley, Webby and Scrooge have no problem using lethal force against Black Heron.
* HeroicBuild: She's notably muscular in contrast to her more grandmotherly appearance in the original series, and the intro shows that she's strong enough to lift up all the triplets and Webby at once with one hand.
* HypercompetentSidekick: She is the only one in Scrooge's extended staff and household (who is alive) who is genuinely capable and good at her job, without the personality disorders that Gyro, Quackfaster and Launchpad have. In their younger years, she used to be more conventionally competent than Scrooge as well, although this is implied to have faded as Scrooge became more experienced.
* InexplicablyAwesome: As Donald points out, not many housekeepers know electrical engineering and Tae Kwon Do. She does jokingly suggest she's a spy, but Donald's understandably skeptical about how much of a joke that was. It is later on revealed to be true.
* InterspeciesRomance: She quite openly flirts with the Ghost of Christmas Future, a Grim Reaper-like supernatural being with a mammalian skeleton.
* JerkassHasAPoint:
** An unwitting point, at least. While Mrs. Beakley's suspicions of Lena cause her to act towards the girl in a way which is not entirely admirable, Lena actually ''is'' a bit of a ToxicFriendInfluence on Webby and the others and, unbeknownst to them, is in league with one of Scrooge's deadliest enemies in some scheme that doubtless has none of their best interests in mind. Lena doesn't really help her case when she encourages Webby and Huey to explore the abandoned subway tracks, which nearly gets everyone killed. It's also suggested that Mrs. Beakley's unwitting implication that Lena is ''not'' "a good kid with a bright future" touches a nerve with Lena because of this, since she knows full well that Beakley has more of a point than she realizes.
** Her separate [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech teardowns]] of Scrooge and the triplets are hard but speak the truth. For Scrooge, he has once again let his pride get in the way of his family and the boys have let their hurt over Della's disappearance blind them to the fact that Scrooge lost a loved one too.
** [[spoiler:SourSupporter or not, Beakley was correct in how Della's lax parenting would ultimately be a detriment to raising her sons]].
* JerkassRealization: She is very hard on Lena throughout "Terror of the Terra-firmians!" since she believes Lena's a bad influence on the kids until this exchange when she realizes that Lena doesn't seem to have anybody looking out for her.
-->'''Mrs. Beakley''': They're good kids with bright futures!
-->'''Lena''': So what does that make ''me''?
-->'''Mrs. Beakley''': [taken aback realizes the implications of what she just said] ... I don't know.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: While she's definitely strict and somewhat uptight, no one can deny the good she does for others.
* KnightTemplarParent: Beakley is so obsessed with making sure the kids are prepared to deal with the threat of [[spoiler:F.O.W.L.]] that she's willing to order Webby to attack an injured Huey and then attack Webby herself as part of their training.
* KickChick: The only Martial Art she's explicitly said to know (via Donald asking her a question), at this point, is the kick-heavy Tae Kwon Do.
* LastNameBasis: Except for Webby, the others simply refer to her as "Beakley". Donald, Della & Launchpad call her "Mrs. B".
* LikeAnOldMarriedCouple: She and Scrooge get in a fair number of arguments, some quite animated, but they've been close friends for decades.
* MamaBear:
** She is one for the nephews and her Webby. In the theme song, she pulls them all up single-handedly to protect them from Scrooge's gallery.
** For all her contentions with Lena in "Terror of the Terra-firmians!", Mrs. Beakley protects her when Launchpad accidentally starts up the old subway car and endangers them.
** In "The Last Crash of the Sunchaser!", she's not happy ''at all'' when Scrooge lashes out at Webby and tells her she's not family.
* MarriedToTheJob: From what she tells Webby in "The Last Adventure!", she was so focused on her spy duties that she never spent any time with her family (to the point that she never even knew about Webby until her parents' death and only speaks of her father from a secondhand account). [[spoiler:Even though Webby doesn't actually have parents in the traditional sense ([[AmbiguousSituation and the people she claimed were Webby's parents might not actually exist]]), there's nothing to suggest that she was lying about her devotion to her job.]]
* MyBelovedSmother: Well, "My Beloved ''Grand-smother''". Webby mentions that Mrs. Beakley can be a "bit overprotective" and while Mrs. Beakley taught Webby how to defend herself, she keeps her granddaughter at [=McDuck=] manor to keep her safe. It's downplayed a bit, however, since, at the end of "Woo-oo!", she happily allows Webby to go on adventures with Scrooge as long as Webby is honest about where she's going.
* MysteriousPast:
** She casually tells Donald that she's a spy. She then laughs like this is a joke, but it seems to make Donald somewhat nervous. Given it turns out to be true, it raises a question or two about why she's working for Scrooge and has basically confined her granddaughter to the mansion her whole life, while giving her combat training to be "ready for anything". Ma Beagle also calls her a "high-falutin' hooligan"[[note]]High-falutin' could refer to Beakley's British origins which an American thug like Ma Beagle might see as fancy, or it could refer to her greater skills and training[[/note]].
** There's also the fact on how she got to take care of Webby in the first place and where ''her'' children are [[note]]It is not confirmed if she is Webby's maternal or paternal grandmother, although the fact that she and Webby have different last names indicates the former[[/note]]. If perhaps something happened to them, it would explain why Mrs. Beakley is a bit smothering with her granddaughter.
** Upon her return Della is surprised to see Beakley as the housekeeper. That season's ChristmasEpisode showed that Beakley had been employed by Scrooge at least a few decades beforehand and definitely knew Donald and Della prior to Della's disappearance. Della also refers to her as Agent 22, hinting that she was aware of Beakley's spy past while Donald wasn't. All of this makes it unclear when she left SHUSH and began working for Scrooge and exactly in what capacity[[note]]It may be that when she was 'working' for Scrooge in "Last Christmas!" she was there as part of a wider operation rather than being in full-time employment at the Manor already[[/note]].
** The series finale answers some of these questions: [[spoiler: Her daughter and son-in-law are apparently dead, and she came to work for Scrooge after rescuing an infant Webby from the F.O.W.L. lab where she was created.]]
* NeverMessWithGranny: Highly competent in martial arts and, given how Ma Beagle prepares for ''her'' instead of Scrooge when Bigtime, Burger, and Bouncer kidnap the triplets and Webby, may very well be TheDreaded when it comes to all of Scrooge's enemies.
* NotSoAboveItAll: After spending the day watching ''Darkwing Duck'' with Launchpad, she becomes just as obsessed with the show as he is. She even goes so far as to dress in the character's costume and make a fan film.
* NotSoStoic: She is normally the most calm and steely person in the show, keeping a steady head when even Scrooge panics. That said there have also been some times when Beakley’s unflappable nature was compromised:
** Her temper exploded [[spoiler: when Scrooge brought Webby on a spy mission and later when Scrooge lashes out at Webby.]] She loses her cool again after [[spoiler: the Lost Harp of Harvana keeps pointing out she's fibbing to her granddaughter.]]
** [[spoiler: When Donald takes charge in the first season finale, Beakley spends much of the episode in confused awe of his [[BewareTheSillyOnes sudden bravery]].]]
** She was completely flustered when Webby [[InnocentlyInsensitive accidentally implied she doesn’t have many friends.]] Later in the same episode we see her getting just as childishly excited as Launchpad whilst watching ''Darkwing Duck''.
** [[spoiler: After seeing Della’s destructive attempts at cooking, all Beakley could do was stare in utter shock at the mess left behind.]]
** [[spoiler: She gasps in shock with everyone else at Louie when he coldly points out Della was just as irresponsible as him, before becoming furious at the remark.]]
** [[spoiler: She is just as horrified as the rest of the family when ''Quack Pack'''s stage audience reveal themselves to be humans.]]
* OldFriend: She and Scrooge were SHUSH spies back in the day, now she's working as his housekeeper. As such she can get away with a lot of snarking.
* OnlySaneWoman:
** She's against Scrooge spending his days as a recluse, and suggested that he spent some time with his family. When that eventually results in said family members being moved in, she very quickly gets exasperated trying to keep the triplets and Webby in check, and how completely nonchalant Scrooge is about their destructive antics.
** She's also the only one of Scrooge's employees shown thus far to be genuinely competent (unlike Launchpad and Manny) AND have no extra quirks (unlike LargeHam Quackfaster, MadScientist Gyro, and GeniusDitz Fenton) AND not be actively undermining him (unlike [[spoiler: the Board of Directors]]).
* OutlivingOnesOffspring: When telling Webby about her parents in "The Last Adventure!", she speaks of both of them in the past tense. [[spoiler:Then again, it's entirely possible that she never even had children to begin with given the fact that Webby isn't actually her biological granddaughter.]]
* ParentalHypocrisy: Expects Webby to be fully honest with her but is still keeping unknown secrets from her granddaughter.
* ParentsAsPeople: While she did a good job of teaching Webby survival skills and prepared her for any kind of danger, her parenting left the girl with no social skills whatsoever and a complete inability to deal with mundane, everyday situations.
* PhotographicMemory: Memorized the formula for Gummiberry Juice within a few seconds of reading it, and remembered it in perfect detail decades later. Black Heron insinuates the ability to do this is standard S.H.U.S.H. training.
* PrimAndProperBun: Wears her hair in a bun and is the [=McDuck=] mansion's ApronMatron.
* ProperlyParanoid: In "Terror of the Terra-Firmians!" she is very suspicious and untrusting of Lena, and just knows she's up to no good. She's not wrong; even without the Magica plot and Lena being TheMole, Lena does endanger Webby and the nephews with her actions.
* PurpleIsPowerful: True Mrs. Beakley has always been adorned in purple clothes, but here she's got the badassery to back it up.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure:
** Mrs. Beakley is an overprotective grandparent. She tells Webby, however, that the latter is safe with Scrooge [=McDuck=], and just not to lie to her about it.
** While Beakley (rightly) doesn't trust Lena and plans on putting the kibosh on her visiting Webby, she spends a lot of the time trying very hard to understand her, and even protects her in the subway when Launchpad gets the train moving out of control. Beakley eventually relents after Lena saves her life, and even lets her come to the mansion for pancakes.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech:
** After the triplets learn what became of their mother, Mrs. Beakley decides to use her vacation skills after bluntly giving Scrooge, who lashed out at them and bluntly told Webby she's not family, a piece of her mind:
--->'''Mrs. Beakley''': Well, you've successfully pushed your family and everyone who ever cared about you away, [[HistoryRepeats again]]. [[WasItReallyWorthIt I hope you're happy]].
** She gives one to the ''nephews'' as well, in the following episode. Pointing out that no matter how they were, Scrooge was hurt as well, and they shouldn't ''not'' forgive him at one point.
--->'''Mrs. Beakley''': Oh, I don't want to remind you of that horrid man who lost your mother all those years ago, even if it was an accident that tore him up for ten years, propelling him into a desperate search attempt that left him broken and nearly bankrupt. But I understand, you're upset because you lost one family member, which was terrible and painful, so you decided you should go ahead and lose another. Brilliant, makes perfect rational sense. Yes, distance yourself even further from his life and forsake family altogether. That will definitely fix it. Perhaps it's worth considering that the reason Scrooge closed himself off was because the loss of Della was the hardest thing he'd ever faced, harder than any adventure! It's not that he didn't care, it's that he cared about family more than anything in the world, and perhaps he still does. But I'm just the housekeeper, what do I know?
* RelatedDifferentlyInTheAdaptation: [[spoiler:The series finale reveals that she is actually Webby's ''adoptive'' grandmother, as opposed to them being blood related.]]
* RetiredBadass: Used to be spy, she's now Scrooge's housekeeper.
* RightForTheWrongReasons: She wants to keep Lena away from Webby and the nephews, stating that "these are good kids, with good futures." She's right that Lena is a threat to the [=McDuck=] family. But Beakley is concerned about Lena's generic rebellious nature, and knows nothing of Lena assisting Magica [=DeSpell=] with her plans against the [=McDuck=] family.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere:
** She and Webby leave Scrooge for an extremely long vacation following his lashing out at them in "The Last Crash of the Sunchaser!". {{Subverted}} in that she calmed down after few days.
** She bails out on game night when her partner Launchpad mysteriously disappears (he got shrunk by accident), not wanting to put up with Scrooge's over-competitiveness.
* SecretKeeper: She's one of the few people who know what happened to Della, and an even smaller group that knows what Scrooge went through trying to find her.
* SeenItAll: In Beakley's introductory short, her reaction to seeing a ghost menacing the children is to vacuum it up and go back to cleaning the house. When Donald asks Beakley how is she so capable, she states that she was a spy, albeit jokingly. Except she wasn't joking. She was literally a spy for SHUSH.
* ServileSnarker: To Scrooge, as this one line from "Woo-oo!" shows.
-->"This is because some children made fun of you, isn't it?"
* SheKnowsTooMuch: Magica wants Lena to eliminate Beakley because she's suspicious of her origins, and poses a real threat to her agenda. Luckily, Lena doesn't go through with it.
* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: An intelligent woman who wears square-shaped glasses.
* SourSupporter: [[spoiler: When Della gets back to Earth, Mrs. Beakley is the only one not jubilant at her return believing she's too immature to be a mom and not a good influence on the kids. Scrooge points out that Della needs time to adjust, but even he's forced to admit that Della's still as reckless as she was ten years ago. "Timephoon!" greatly focuses on this, with Beakley warning Della not to be too easy on her kids or else they would not learn from their mistakes. Eventually, Della takes Beakley's advice to heart just in time to punish Louie for his shenanigans, which Beakley commends her for.]]
* StrongAndSkilled: A highly competent martial artist thanks to her years as an agent.
* TakingTheBullet: In "Terror of the Terra-Firmians!" she gets knocked out protecting Lena from the impact of the subway crash. It's implied that Lena saves her for this reason.
* TemptingFate: In the Season 1 finale, Donald tasks her with protecting his houseboat while he runs into the fray. Beakley remarks that it couldn't be that hard if [[ButtMonkey Donald]] could keep it together. She's soon besieged by shadow demons and the boat [[HistoryRepeats burns down again.]]
* ThisIsGonnaSuck: Has this reaction when Scrooge declares game night.
* TopHeavyGuy: A rare female example. She has a HeroicBuild but her legs are still fairly short.
* UnderestimatingBadassery: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] as she typically mean's no ill-will, but Beakley has a habit underestimating Donald due to his [[ButtMonkey typical desposition.]] Though she always ends up pleasantly surprised when [[BewareTheSillyOnes Donald does rise to the occassion]] showcased in both the Season 1 Premiere and Finale.
* TheUnTwist: She really ''is'' a spy, to the surprise of nobody.
* WhatTheHellHero:
** She ''explodes'' at Scrooge for getting Webby involved in Heron's revenge mission.
** Calls Scrooge out ''big time'' for lashing out at Webby in "The Last Crash of the Sunchaser!".
** She calls the Ducks out for their attitude towards Scrooge in "The Shadow War!".
** She attempts to scold Louie for [[spoiler:his remark at Della in "Timephoon!", but Della stops her, since she does see his point.]]

** He is rendered completely delirious by snake venom during "Woo-oo!" In this state, he defeats one of Glomgold's henchmen just by stumbling about blindly. He also apparently speaks approximate Swedish in this state.
** [[spoiler:He takes the full brunt of a blast from Black Heron and Steelbeak's supercharged stupidity ray that would have wiped out everyone in Duckburg's intelligence. While his own intelligence was greatly boosted at the time, it is strongly implied that Launchpad was originally so stupid that taking a blast that big head on would merely return his intelligence to its "normal" level.]]
* AdaptationalComicRelief: He was funny in the original show too, but he loses a handful of IQ points in this series to be the source of even more comedy.
* AdaptationalWimp: In the original show, Launchpad [=McQuack=] is one of the most dangerous members of the cast besides Scrooge himself. During the first season alone, he saves the triplets from hostile aliens, pulls off [[BeyondTheImpossible a supposedly impossible maneuver]] to rescue Scrooge during an aerial battle with the Beagle Boys, and successfully substitutes for a spy. The reboot version gets sidelined or becomes useless in a fight quite a bit more frequently, especially because he's also much ditzier.
* AllLovingHero: In his own words, he's everybody's friend.
* AmazonChaser: A lot of his past partners seem to fit this bill. At the end of season 2 [[spoiler: he's immediately smitten by Penumbra and asks her out for coffee after complimenting her crash. He's also not at all deterred when she calmly states that she could easily crush him and he only asks if that means "yes".]]
* AmbiguouslyBi: When [[WordOfGod show runner Frank Angones]] [[https://suspendersofdisbelief.tumblr.com/post/179509661636/real-talk-how-many-girlfriends-has-launchpad-had discussed Launchpad's numerous past romances]], he very specifically used gender-neutral words and pronouns. Becomes less ambiguous when Launchpad lists [[ScrewYourself a clone of himself]] among his past paramours[[note]]barring the possibility that it was an OppositeSexClone[[/note]].[[invoked]]
* AmbiguouslyJewish: In "Last Christmas!" he's seen wearing a holiday sweater with a Menorah on it, but it's never established whether he's Jewish or simply [[TheDitz acquired a sweater for the wrong holiday]].
* AmicableExes: He parted on good terms with both Ziyi and Oceanica. WordOfGod suggests [[https://suspendersofdisbelief.tumblr.com/post/179509661636/real-talk-how-many-girlfriends-has-launchpad-had he's like this with all of his exes]]. [[spoiler:Eventually, after some awkwardness following their bad first/only date, he becomes this with Penumbra as well.]][[invoked]]
* AnythingThatMoves: Aside from girlfriends of various different species, his past paramours also include a clone of himself, a sapient cloud, and a were-duck whose [[WordOfGod concept artist]] described as being non-binary.[[invoked]]
* AndYouThoughtItWasAGame: Thinks the events of "Double-O-Duck In You Only Crash Twice!" were all part of the augmented-reality spy video game he and Dewey were playing. [[spoiler:He quickly realizes it's real after his intelligence is boosted, but seems to revert to thinking it was a game after returning to normal.]]
* AudienceSurrogate: For the adult viewers who grew up with the original Disney Afternoon shows. He gushes about the in-universe ''Darkwing Duck'' TV show with the same nostalgia as any real-life person of his age would about the real ''WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck'' and ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales1987''.
** His driver's license also lists his date of birth as September 18, 1987, the day the original ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales1987'' premiered, making him 30 years at the time of of the current show's premiere, roughly in the same age bracket as its PeripheryDemographic.
* BadBadActing: In "The Secret(s) of Castle [=McDuck=]!" he does such a bad job of impersonating Donald even during the anger fit that it's surprising Scrooge's parents were actually fooled.
* BarefootCartoonAnimal: While he did wear shoes for most of the series, "The Missing Links of Moorshire!" is the only episode where he is barefoot with a suit.
* BigEater: There's a running gag in "The Mummies Of Toth-Ra!" that Launchpad never gets tired of eating burritos. It actually becomes a plot point later.
* BizarreTasteInFood: He likes sheep's bladder and buttermilk.
* BlindMistake: In "The Impossible Summit of Mt. Neverrest!", with his goggles fogged up, Launchpad has no idea that he's slid down the mountain and is wandering through a hot spring spa, thinking all the time that he's suffering the effects of "Ice Fever".
* BornLucky: He crashes every vehicle he mans but somehow makes it out of every single crash unscathed and can fix most vehicle problems simply by hitting it.
* BorrowedCatchphrase: In "Beware the B.U.D.D.Y. System!" Launchpad says "Let's get dangerous!", Darkwing Duck’s famous catchphrase, during the climactic car chase.
* {{Catchphrase}}: Huh, never crashed a ''[insert any vehicle]'' before.
* CannotTellFictionFromReality: After seeing a horror movie about mole monsters, he does not realize that the film's plot is entirely fictional, and spends the entirety of "Terror of the Terra-Firmians!" worrying that one of his friends (namely Dewey) is a mole monster in disguise.
* CaptainCrash: It wouldn't be Launchpad without a complete inability to land a plane. He can't even wrap his head around the concept of piloting something ''without'' crashing it.
-->''"This is ''not'' the end of Launchpad [=McQuack!=] It ''will'' be by plane crash, or not at all!"''
** Notably his comicial ability to crash without consequence is retained and the main thing seperating him from [[spoiler:Della]] who's other wise a far superior pilot that can do crazy stunts and land fine as well as properly repair the plane. However when they crash it's played with all seriousness of possible injury or death as well as damage to the plane. When Launchpad takes over he manages crash straight into a cave without damage to the plane or injury much to [[spoiler:Della's]] confusion and they're able to just fly right out. [[spoiler:Della crashing the Sunchaser in the finale meanwhile shakes everyone up and the plane is wrecked, stranding them there]]
** Also separating him from [[spoiler: Della]]: despite his crashes ''his'' crazy stunts have ''never'' made Scrooge sick.
** [[spoiler:So far he's only managed to land without crashing exactly once: in Valhalla, of all places. Later in the episode, he actually uses "Captain Crash" for his wrestling moniker, despite it being the only episode where he doesn't crash.]]
* CharacterExaggeration: In the original series he was ditzy, but still all-together, brave and competent. Here he's... out there, to the point where Mrs. Beakley angrily calls him a "man child".
* ChickMagnet: Just like his original character, Launchpad seems to be a hit with the ladies. He has two ex-lovers that we know of so far, and one of them is a mermaid. WordOfGod suggests [[https://suspendersofdisbelief.tumblr.com/post/179509661636/real-talk-how-many-girlfriends-has-launchpad-had he had many more significant others]]. "The Dangerous Chemistry of Gandra Dee!" confirms this.[[invoked]]
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Par the course for a character like Launchpad. When Scrooge asks if he's good at piloting a submarine, Launchpad replies saying that he crashed a helicopter into a wading pool once.
* TheCuckoolanderWasRight: [[spoiler:When rebuilding the Sunchaser/Cloudslayer, Della is aggravated to find Lauchpad uses chewing gum to repair an air filter (among other things) and redoes the repairs herself. It turns out the plane is so old that repairing it properly creates a lot of black smoke that hinders the pilot from flying. Lauchpad's repairs might not be pretty, but they keep everything working.]]
* ADayInTheLimelight: He's the character that gets the most focus in "Beware the B.U.D.D.Y. System!"
* DependingOnTheWriter: His ditziness and competence vary from episode to episode. In "Terror of the Terra Firmians!" he's so ditzy he's almost useless; in "House of the Lucky Gander!" and "The Depths of Cousin Fethry!" he's a HeroOfAnotherStory who had his own [[RunningGag badass adventure helping his ex-girlfriends offscreen]].
* {{Determinator}}: Always ready to show off his pilot skills and help out in any way he can, Launchpad never lets small things like rejection, total failure, or even blatant incompetence hinder him from getting the job done, and as stated above he refuses to die in anything ''other'' than a plane crash.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: In "Beware the B.U.D.D.Y. System!" he executes a half-baked scheme, as usual. This time, he's so proud of himself for getting a driver's license that he forwards it straight to Scrooge's mail. It's a miracle that Scrooge took it in stride that his chauffeur is allowed to drive by law only just now.
* TheDitz: He seems more dumb than his version in the original show. Although WordOfGod denies him being stupid and insists he's PureGood.[[invoked]]
* DoesNotCompute: The words "Not crash" leave Launchpad at a loss every time.
* DriverFacesPassenger: He has a really bad habit of doing this while driving anything, which is part of the reason he's such a CaptainCrash.
* DrivesLikeCrazy: When he's in a car, watching the road and staying in his own lane are merely suggestions to him. That said, he does seem to have genuine talent at piloting lots of other vehicles.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: His first scene includes him driving recklessly as Scrooge's driver while also making polite conversation.
* ExplainExplainOhCrap: In "The Living Mummies of Toth-Ra!" Scrooge's inspirational speech to the servants of Toth-Ra is interrupted by Launchpad eating a burrito. Launchpad explains that he "didn't want my [[GrowlingGut belly to grumble]] and interrupt your big speech... like I am right now."
* {{Fainting}}: Faints numerous times when he meets Jim Starling in person. According to Dewey and Jim, he always does this.
* FanBoy: Of WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck, which is now an in-universe TV show [[spoiler:until "The Duck Knight Returns!"]].
* FearlessFool: The main reason why Scrooge keeps him on. Who else is as crazy and dangerous?
* FlowersForAlgernonSyndrome: [[spoiler:"Double-O-Duck In You Only Crash Twice!" sees him gain increased intelligence from Black Heron's ray. He loses it in the end, forced to take an intelligence-decreasing blast to prevent all of Duckburg from being engulfed in it.]]
* FutureBadass: In "Timephoon!", he became one when he got sent into the future and came back rugged, claiming to have seen the end of the world.
* GeniusDitz: He's not exactly the brightest of the bunch, but ''is'' an AcePilot and can even speak Swedish... after a fashion, anyway. He also demonstrates a detailed knowledge of ''Darkwing Duck'', which Dewey observes is the one topic Launchpad knows a ''lot'' about.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: A RunningGag of sorts; in both "The House of the Lucky Gander!" and "The Depths of Cousin Ferthy!" he doesn't stay with the family, but instead goes to find his ex-girlfriend Ziyi in Macaw and Oceannica in the Pacific Ocean, respectively. By the end of the first episode, he returns in armor with many arrows sticking out of him, an EyePatchOfPower and a panda cub clinging to his back, whereas in the second he is wearing what seems to be armor of an underwater civilization.
* HiddenDepths:
** One of Webby's lies is that she's with a friend's relative that only speaks Swedish. In a venom-induced daze, Launchpad does speak Swedish. His pronunciation is so off that it's little better than gibberish, but it's possible for a native speaker listening very carefully to work out what he's saying.
** He then demonstrates that he's already the HeroOfAnotherStory in "House of the Lucky Gander!" by doing ''[[NoodleIncident something]]'' that results in him winding up with an [[EyepatchOfPower eyepatch]], wearing Armor covered in arrows, and carrying a small baby panda on his back. All we know is it was something to do with an ex-girlfriend, and casually explains it away as "tourist stuff." Ditto in "The Depths of Cousin Fethry!", except it was "Ocean stuff".
** "The Rumble for Ragnarok!" reveals he's a ProfessionalWrestling fan and knows all the plot and character conventions of the sport.
** He's a massive fan of the old Darkwing Duck TV show, to the point where it's stated "Launchpad knows a lot about this one thing" and he's so passionate that even Mrs. Beakley briefly gets caught up in it.
* IdiotHoudini: He's been driving without a license for years, and has received no punishment.
* {{Immortality}}: Louie wonders if he has this in the first episode of season 2, given how he always survives his crashes.
* IncompatibleOrientation: He's immediately smitten with Penumbra, who unfortunately turns out to not be interested in "Earth males." WordOfGod confirmed she meant she was a lesbian.[[invoked]]
* IncorruptiblePurePureness: WordOfGod describes him as pure, which isn't hard to believe given how incredibly nice and innocent he is.[[invoked]]
* InnocentlyInsensitive: He is worried he is this when he makes a disparaging comment about robots, thinking Fenton is actually a robot.
* IntergenerationalFriendship: With the triplets and Webby. He and Dewey seem to be pretty close in particular, as Launchpad refers to the latter as his best friend in "Terror of the Terra-firmians!" and the two hang out together without the other kids in "Beware the B.U.D.D.Y. System!".
* InterspeciesRomance: With Oceanica, a mer-duck. He also dated a sapient cloud of energy at some point. [[spoiler:And now he finds a new love interest in Penumbra, a Moonlander.]]
* ItsLikeIAlwaysSay: In "The Spear of Selene!":
-->'''Launchpad''': I always say, better safe than..... whatever the opposite of safe is. [Pause] Yeah, I do say that.
-->'''Scrooge''': ''When have you ever said that?''
* KindheartedSimpleton: He's not the brightest of the bunch, but at least he's the nicest.
* LanternJawOfJustice: The bottom half of his duck-bill is shaped like a large, manly chin, and he is a heroic and strong, although quite [[TheDitz dumb]] person.
* LateToThePunchline: [[spoiler:When Louie angrily points out that his time-travelling shenanigans are no different than Della stealing the Spear of Selene, it takes a few seconds longer for Launchpad to figure it out than everyone else.]]
* LetsGetDangerous:
** In "The Shadow War!", as he prepares to fight the shadows, he presses his Darkwing Duck bobblehead to hear the "Let's get dangerous" catchphrase for motivation. Then when Magica's shadows immobilize his plane, he starts singing the Darkwing Duck theme song while getting out of the plane to punch them.
** He gets to say this line again in "The Duck Knight Returns!", only this time with [[spoiler:the real Darkwing Duck i.e. Drake Mallard]].
* LethalChef: 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.
* LethalKlutz: Especially in Season 3, some of Launchpad's actions are considered rather dangerous that he shouldn't be left alone, especially with a child. For instance, he outright jumped out of a car he was driving in "They Put a Moonlander on the Earth!" with several passengers in there, and in "The Trickening!", he outright attempted to murder multiple children and monsters just because he thought Halloween was a curse.
* LiteralMinded: Launchpad thinks a man-child is a kind of creature. He also confuses the sport cricket with the insect.
* MadeOfIron: While he was visibly hurt by being bitten by numerous snakes (venomous rattlesnakes at that), he manages to bounce back. In season 2, Louie even wonders if he has straight up {{Immortality}}.
* ManChild: He's outright called one by Mrs. Beakley. Seeing as how Huey, Dewey, Louie, and Webby come off as more emotionally mature than he to the point that seeing a scary movie convinces him that the film's fictional plot could happen in real life, she's not all that wrong.
* MoralityPet: To Louie in "The Impossible Summit of Mt. Neverrest!". Upon finding out that Launchpad got conned into believing in a fictional disease and buying gear in order to prevent said disease, he declares "No one's allowed to scam my family, but me!" and cons the salesman into publicly admitting that the disease is fake.
* MySignificanceSenseIsTingling: In "Jaw$!", before the nephews even ask for his help, Launchpad bursts into the room, saying, "My best friend Dewey is in trouble! I can feel it..."
* NegatedMomentOfAwesome: He attempts to fly his plane to a Magica-infested Scrooge [=McDuck=]'s money bin, trying to crash into it, only for her shadows to slap it away multiple times. Downplayed in that he then ''fights'' them with his bare hands when they grab his plane.
-->'''Launchpad''': [[PreAssKickingOneLiner Sorry to ''crash'' your party!]]
* NeverGotToSayGoodbye: Ziyi, Launchpad's old girlfriend in Macaw, apparently disappeared in the course of Launchpad's adventures. At the end of "The House of the Lucky Gander!", Launchpad mutters wistfully:
-->'''Launchpad''': "Goodbye, Ziyi, wherever you are."
* NiceGuy: He may be a danger on the road, but he wouldn't hurt a fly.
* NiceHat: Traded in his flight cap and goggles from the previous series for a standard pilot hat.
* TheOneWhoWearsShoes: He wears shows most of the time(along with some of the cast), but goes BarefootCartoonAnimal in "The Missing Links of Moorshire!".
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: If his friends are in genuine danger and he's the only one who can do anything, Launchpad will set his mind to it. Notable examples are in "Beware the B.U.D.D.Y. System!", "The Last Crash of the Sunchaser!", and "The Golden Armory of Cornelius Coot!". In "The Duck Knight Returns!", he shields Boorswan from a maddened Jim Starling, despite the latter being his idol and thinking that the former is ruining ''Darkwing Duck''.
* OutOfFocus: Falls under this during the second half of season 3 post-"Let's Get Dangerous!" where he only makes two appearances (in "How Santa Stole Christmas!" in a brief cameo [[note]]it was the second produced episode of season 3 and made as a standalone to be aired anywhere in the season[[/note]] and the series finale).
* PapaWolf: He swears a [[Film/{{Jaws}} Quint-style vengeance]] upon the shark in "Jaw$!", after learning that Dewey got eaten.
* PaperThinDisguise: In "The Secret(s) of Castle [=McDuck=]!" Scrooge dresses up Launchpad as Donald Duck. Fergus and Downy are not buying it. [[DownplayedTrope Until he pretends to throw an anger fit at which point they become convinced he is the real Donald]].
* PromotedFanboy: InvertedTrope; he went from WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck's sidekick to a fan of the in-universe TV show. [[spoiler:But then he teams up with the ''real'' Darkwing Duck in "The Duck Knight Returns!".]]
* ReallyGetsAround: He's had a really active dating life. His past relationships included a mermaid, a ninja, a were-duck, a Viking shield-maiden, a sapient cloud of energy and [[ScrewYourself a clone of himself]].
** Even when trapped in the Quack Pack sitcom, one of the planned plots for Launchpad is him having three dates in one night.
* RequiredSecondaryPowers: A requirement of being able to crash anything and still continue, Launchpad is an expert mechanic, and can fix ''nearly'' anything he breaks.
* SanityBall: Briefly grabs it in "The Last Crash of the Sunchaser!", when the others are forgetting the perilous situation they are in due to their intense arguing. Launchpad is the only one who remembers that the plane's about to fall at any moment and tries to remind them, even showing anger when they ignore him.
* SkewedPriorities: In "The Last Crash of the Sunchaser!" as the others try to talk Dewey out of climbing the wing of the plane, Launchpad just wants to know if he should put the ''Darkwing Duck'' VHS tape on pause until he gets back.
* SuddenlyBilingual: In "Woo-oo!" when Webby lies that her friend's Swedish-speaking uncle just arrived to get Mrs. Beakley off the phone, Launchpad (high on snake venom) falls next to her, grabs the phone, and starts spouting Swedish dialog.
* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: In "The Shadow War!" he gives out one when he goes [[UndyingLoyalty to check up on Scrooge]]. Launchpad being, well, [[TheDitz Launchpad]], it doesn't quite come out right and naturally Scrooge sees right through it.
-->'''Launchpad:''' [[spoiler:Howdy Mr [=McDee=]! I'm not here to check on you on account of everyone moving out [[InnocentlyInsensitive because the boys blame you for launching their mom to space and orphaning them]]. I'm here to take you out for ''ice cream!'' Mmmm! Sounds good right? Family crisis... I mean... ''Ice creaaaam!'']]
-->'''Scrooge:''' ''Go away.''
* ThinkingOutLoud: In "Terror of the Terra-Firmians!" he does this without realizing it, which causes him to believe Dewey is reading his mind.
* ThisLooksLikeAJobForAquaman: Invoked when Launchpad tries to give a RousingSpeech when production of the ''Darkwing Duck'' film is interrupted by Jim Starling's attack, Scrooge musing that he's never seen Launchpad this eloquent about anything and Dewey observing that Launchpad knows a lot about ''Darkwing Duck''.
* TomatoInTheMirror: Parodied, when a paranoid Launchpad (who, after watching a creepy movie, believes anyone could be a mole monster) is told by Dewey that by his logic, he could be a mole monster. Launchpad agrees with this and decides to improve his "brethren's" reputation above ground. Hilariously? According to WordOfGod, he MIGHT still believe this.[[invoked]]
* TopHeavyGuy: Even more so than his original design.
* UltimateJobSecurity:
** Considering how cheap Scrooge is, and how catastrophically accident prone Launchpad is, it's a mystery as to why Scrooge keeps him around. In "Beware the B.U.D.D.Y. System!", it's revealed that Scrooge keeps him on because he'll never find another driver "as crazy and dangerous" as himself.
** [[spoiler:Della, meanwhile, is incensed at the idea that Scrooge "replaced" her with Launchpad during her time on the moon. She's also shown to be able to land the Sunchaser(/[[InsistentTerminology Cloudslayer]]) without crashing it (instead doing stunts that make Scrooge nauseous), suggesting Launchpad could be out of a job in the near future, or just restricted to driving]].
* UndyingLoyalty: While it's not emphasized much, Launchpad is very loyal to Scrooge. [[spoiler:After the fallout of "The Last Crash of the Sunchaser!", he is the ''only'' one who doesn't abandon him. He even stops by the manor to check up on Scrooge in the following episode.]]
* UniversalDriversLicense: Slightly more universal than his original incarnation insofar as he is now Scrooge's limo driver (a job which belonged to Duckworth in the original series) as well as jack-of-all-trades with regard to driving any vehicle Scrooge uses adventuring -- though he'll insist that he's ''really'' a pilot. Ironically, he didn't even ''have'' a driver's license until "Beware the B.U.D.D.Y System!". He also doesn't have a pilot's license according to WordOfGod.[[invoked]]
* WhatTheHellHero: Although it's subtle, in "The Last Crash of the Sunchaser!" you can catch Launchpad giving off this vibe a few times as he seems visibly angry at all the infighting happening when they're all on the verge of dying if and when the plane teeters off the rock formation.
* WhereWhere: After Beakley calls him a man-child, he thinks it's some kind of monster.

->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/PagetBrewster

Huey, Dewey, and Louie's mother, and Donald's younger twin sister. She's been missing since before the triplets were born. Her absence is the DrivingQuestion of the first season, and continues to have a significant impact even into the second season.

Late in Season 2, she finally finds a way home, and [[HesBack reunites with the [=McDuck=] Family.]] From then on, she's gone on to become a main character, even being PromotionToOpeningTitles in Season 3.

* NotSoDifferent: You would think that being generally more optimistic, and just plain intelligible, she'd have a better disposition than [[HairTriggerTemper Donald]]. Nope. She is just as angry and fighty as her twin brother.
