She first appeared in The Miner’s Granddaughter (1966) [x], where she’d just graduated high school and Goldie asked Scrooge to take care of her so she could move to Duckburg and work on her acting career.

In the late 80s, she was picked up by Brazilian comic artist Luiz Podavin for her own series ft Dickie and her friends/band in high school together in Brazil. In the 90s, most of her comics are from this Brazilian series, but she’s also featured in a bunch of Alternate Universe stories from Italy.
