Della Duck

**"Nothing can stop Della Duck!"**

Della's catchphrase.

**Della Duck** is one of the nine main protagonists in the 2017 reboot of *DuckTales* since Season 3. Before the events of season 3, she was a guest/recurring character. She is the twin sister of Donald Duck, the niece of Scrooge McDuck, and the mother of Huey, Dewey and Louie. She has also been stuck on the moon for eleven years.

## Appearance

Della Duck is the twin sister of Donald Duck, and the mother of Huey, Dewey and Louie. She wears a brown jacket with a blue scarf. And she wears a brown helmet with air goggles on it. Della also wears light brown trousers, and on her left side, she has a robotic leg out of rocket parts, in place of her old one.

## Personality

Despite the fact that Della was missing in action, she is known as an adventurous high-spirited, daring, and headstrong woman, who loves going on adventures with her family.

In many early adventures, she has been shown to be smart, kind,  and compassionate to help her family and others out of trouble, making everyone around better. Although she is good-natured, Della is also mischievous and impulsive. She is referred to as a prankster in "The Secret(s) of Castle McDuck!", as it's shown she had a dark sense of humor.

However, it has been implied that her thrill-seeking attitude can blind her to the dangers and consequences of her actions. This apparent selfish impulsiveness is what led to her becoming lost in space, although in "The Most Dangerous Game...Night!", Scrooge reveals that Della did, in fact, have the ability to read a situation and perceive all the possible outcomes, and in "Last Christmas!", she was also shown to be far more family-oriented and less impulsive than previously implied. What young Donald perceived as thoughtless and reckless behavior on Della's part was actually a well thought out plan to bond with him while simultaneously attempting to get Scrooge the best Christmas gift ever.

In the episode, "What Ever Happened to Della Duck?!", it was shown that Della shares the traits of being as temperamental and impatient as her brother up to a point where she quotes his catchphrase: "Aw, phooey.", but in contrast to Donald, Della speaks more clearly. Also, after returning to Earth, when she first meets Launchpad and learns that he is a pilot as well, she displays a small act of hostility towards him; naively thinking Scrooge had replaced her with Launchpad after her disappearance. She also demonstrates a similar musical inclination, a sense of humor, love for adventure, and childish impulsiveness to Dewey, an enthusiasm for the Junior Woodchucks and a nerdy love of video games like Huey, and Louie's ability to read situations, perceive all possible outcomes and unintentionally cause trouble without understanding the consequences of their actions or the people they would hurt. Nonetheless, after witnessing how off-the-rails her children's antics could get, she can be stern and works up the courage to show tough love in "Timephoon!" by grounding Louie after one of his schemes gets too crazy and nearly costs him his family's lives.

But still, Della is brave, kind-hearted, courageous, and will always find a way to help see the angles that everyone else can't, because nothing can stop Della Duck!
