It’s basically her job to annoy her brother, Arthur since she is his little sister. The two have an on-going relationship annoying each other. D.W. can be quite bratty and a drama queen, which is why she and Arthur don’t tend to get along too often. Get the look of Arthur’s little sister with this D.W. Read costume guide.

About D.W.
Dora Winifred “D.W.” Read is the sassy and intelligent younger sister of Arthur Read appearing on the animated television show, Arthur. D.W.’s favorite thing to do on the show is to annoy her older brother, and she is very good at it! D.W. is a smart girl, but sometimes she makes attempts to use words beyond her preschool vocabulary that do not fit into a conversation she’s trying to have. She sometimes gets into trouble because she can be overly gullible and easily tricked into doing things she shouldn’t do.
Even though D.W. and Arthur fight over the television the majority of the time, the two love and care for each other more than they will ever say. D.W. personally loves unicorns and plush dolls, but don’t get a tomato too close to her because she can’t stand to eat them!
