According to Scarpa, she completed her secondary education at a boarding school, so she is possibly around 18 years old. Dickie is smart and resourceful, but can be a little air-headed. She loves pop music and modern dance and fashion
Her first appearence was in the Italian story "Arriva Paperetta Yè-Yè" (published in the US as "The Miner's Granddaughter" in IDW's Uncle Scrooge #18).
