Dora Winifred "D.W." Read is one of the main characters from the animated television show Arthur, who has been featured in both the book and TV series respectively. She is a 5-year-old brown-haired anthropomorphic aardvark and the middle child of the Read family who is shown to usually wear a white long-sleeved blouse and a pink sleeveless knee-length dress. D.W. attends preschool at Elwood Community Preschool and is known to enjoy watching Mary Moo Cow along listening to the song Crazy Bus, much to Arthur's annoyance. She also has an imaginary friend named Nadine, whom she plays with and confides all of her problems to when no one else is around. And like most children her age, she is illiterate. D.W. was named after her Grandma Thora's aunt, Dora Winifred (who died before she was born), which she downright hates and prefers to have everyone call her "D.W." instead. She is shown be bossy, selfish, spoiled, vindictive, and often downright cruel and malicious, especially towards her brother and is known often to get Arthur in trouble by any means for anything, but is eventually caught and gets in trouble herself instead.
