Webbigail "Webby" Vanderquack is a fictional character from the Walt Disney Company, created exclusively for DuckTales and voiced by Russi Taylor.
She is Mrs. Bentina Beakley's granddaughter and Scrooge McDuck's adopted grandniece. Webby has a strong resemblance to Daisy Duck and her nieces.
She tags along after Huey, Dewey and Louie on their adventures, wishing to be one of them. Sometimes Webby has tea parties with her dolls. Her favorite doll is her Quacky Patch Doll which happens to look similar to her.
It is unknown what happened to Webby's own parents, but Bentina seems to be her legal guardian. At the time of Mrs. Beakley's interview for the position of Scrooge's maid, cook and the Nephews' nanny, Bentina and Webby were homeless. She agreed to work only for food and shelter for both of them, a deal Uncle Scrooge couldn't refuse. Since then, both have been adopted into the Duck/McDuck extended family. Webby is an extremely affectionate and emotional child and has a great love for animals.
The Disney studio promotional material said that her greatest goal is to become the "Fourth Nephew". Webby often feels neglected, and this has often been the impetus for her own misadventures. One even caused her to run away from home and join the Beagle Boys in the care of the Beagle Babes.
Webby appeared on the opening theme of Raw Toonage and appeared in at least one episode.
Webby's Italian name is "Gaia" which translates in English as "Happy" In Spanish dubs she received the name of "Rosita," which could be translated as "Pinky."
It is also considered that her creation was to maintain European audiences who were used to the character of Dickie Duck.
