Della Duck (sometimes named Dumbella Duck) is a cartoon character created in 1937 by Al Taliaferro and Ted Osborne. She is a core member of the Disney Duck family, as the niece of Scrooge McDuck, the younger twin sister of Donald Duck and the mother of his nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie. Della is an anthropomorphic white duck with a yellow-orange bill, legs, and feet.

She is one of the main characters in the DuckTales reboot, where she typically wears an aviator hat, bomber jacket with a light blue scarf, brown pants and, as an adult, a robot leg. Della is famous for her boisterous and adventurous spirit as a female adventurer. She is an amputee in the reboot, and is a positive role model to other women and to people with disabilities.[1][2]
