CHARACTER INFO

Character: Della Duck
Canon: Ducktales 2017, post-series finale
Age: Not given, implied to be late thirties.

Background Information: Wiki!

Personality:
Della Duck is an adventurer at heart - she longs to try new things, make her own trek, and live a life full of adrenaline. Unfortunately this has often caused her to be unintentionally selfish and reckless. During many of her youthful adventures with her Uncle Scrooge and twin brother Donald, she'd be so focused on the fun she'd have on the journey that she remained oblivious to how frustrating her headstrong nature could be. There were many times she landed Donald in danger and brushed off his resulting anger - and did the same when she was in danger. After all, nothing could stop Della Duck. As far as she saw it, Donald was just a worrywart.

This extended to when she laid three eggs, and wanted to give them the same fun and thrills she had. This resulted in what she would later call the biggest mistake of her life - when she discovered Scrooge had built a rocket ship for her in secret, she hopped aboard while only leaving a vague note. This would cost her at least ten years away from her family, including her little boys. The time away made her understand how awful she had treated her brother and uncle, and vowed to become a better mother. When she reunited with her family, she still intended to take her boys out on adventures - but she'd do all in her power to watch over them and help them out.

The "current" Della is still fairly reckless and headstrong - she will still dive into a fight without thinking if left to her own devices. However, if she has people she cares about around, it will make her think more about the situation she's in and how much it really needs to be done. There is no question that she loves her family, and will always be ready to lay down her own life to protect them if she can. But years alone on the moon has warped her social skills a bit, making her oblivious how much someone may hate her (like Penny) initially and also making her not realize the things she say can be either downright depressing or horrifying. She also has wound up talking to herself... a lot.

When it comes to new people, Della is happy and eager to make new friends. When they're younger, the mothering instinct kicks into full drive, wanting to take care of them and show them how to have fun at the same time. She normally has a fun competitive spirit - except when it comes to things she's really proud of. For example, when the perfect cheerfully Launchphad nonchalantly told her he's the family pilot, she broke into a rage, declaring that she was the best and not to be replaced.

Being the brother of the infamous Donald Duck, of course her own temper has to be mentioned. While Donald can throw a tantrum at the drop of a hat, Della tends to take things more in stride - but as a result, when that trigger IS hit, it's just as explosive as her brother if not more so. Aside from the plane pride mentioned earlier, this anger typically comes out whenever there's an intense threat to her family, willing to rip anything and anyone apart for their sake... even if it's something as silly as denying one of her sons a Junior Woodchuck badge.

To sum up, Della is a cheerful mom who is doing her best to make up for her past mistakes, but often finds herself making those very same mistakes again. But it's clear that while she loves adventure, she will always love her family more.

Abilities & Inventory:
Abilities :
- Enhanced strength + endurance as a result of adventuring for the majority of her life, and the 10+ years of physical labor on the moon.
- Can, has, and will continue to use her detachable leg if it can help a situation – weapon, lever, etc.
- Years of being a Junior Woodchuck have given her a vast knowledge of mythological/legendary creatures.
- Ace pilot. Her claim to fame is that she can "fly anything".

Inventory :
- Her own copy of the Junior Woodchuck Guidebook, which lists all kinds of facts and information. However, given how old the book is, several pages are ripped/missing/tattered/doodled in, so it won’t give her the insane EVERYTHING knowledge that most JWG’s have.


ARMADA SELECTION

Corsair!

Della does see herself as “Justice Duck”, on the side of heroes and aces at beating bad guys (and her twin brother is an actual sailor!) so in theory she’d make a great Paladan. However, she has a wild side that loves to break the rules and find new boundaries. Plus, according to her, you can find out way more information under the loose lips of those who live outside the law. If she wants to find a way to “beat the game” and go home (and she does!), sticking to the Corsairs seems the best way for her to dig up valuable secrets and learn the ways of this weird realm.

Also, while she won’t tell anyone this, being with the Paladins would just remind her of Donald too much and make her miss him more. Like a true McDuck, we bottle up the sad feelings and tell no one!
