 * 2) She has the tendency to be overly dramatic and bossy.
 * 3) She hates her name and prefers to be called D.W. While there's nothing wrong with wanting to be called something shorter, hating your own name is something else.

 * 5) Her voice is incredibly grating, especially when she cries.
 * 6) She tends to disobey orders, especially reasonable orders from Arthur.
 * 7) She complains about Arthur a lot, often for no reason.
 * 8) She once threw a huge temper tantrum, constantly saying very mean and rude things to her family and friends, yelling at them and making a lot of loud noise at night preventing them from sleeping, all because she didn't get invited to a birthday party her friend Emily did and she didn't even like the girl who's party it was.
 * 9) Speaking of which, she has the tendency to throw temper tantrums when she doesn't get her way.
 * 10) In "Arthur's Perfect Christmas", she threw a tantrum over getting a toy she never wants, showing she can't handle getting a toy she doesn't want.
 * 11) She hates healthy foods, such as tomatoes, cucumbers, and even spinach and believed it's the most disgusting food in the universe. in one episode "D.W. The Picky Eater" she flipped her plate with spinach and it was all over the waiter and everyone was staring at her, and she obviously believes that everybody's making this into such a big deal. Thankfully, she lost hatred for spinach in the end of the episode.
 * 12) There are some episodes in which D.W. is at her worst, most notably "D.W.'s Very Bad Mood."
