Dora Winifred "D.W." Read: is Arthur's eccentric sister. In most episodes, she is 4 years old. (she turns 5 in "D.W.'s Perfect Wish", episode #314, which is also when her birthday is revealed to be March 1) She is a middle child of the Read family. She attends preschool and enjoys watching children's television shows (Mary Moo Cow in particular) and the song "Crazy Bus" much to Arthur's annoyance. She is also known for her many short-lived obsessions and tantrums if these obsessions are not fulfilled. Many of the series' episodes revolve around tensions between D. W. and her brother--she especially enjoys getting him in trouble. Arthur occasionally envies D.W.'s accomplishments and D.W. of the privileges and capabilities that Arthur has for being older. While she acts self-centered and audacious, she shows appreciation towards Arthur and usually understands when she is wrong. She goes by the short name "D.W.", owing to an evident dislike for her full name. She wears a white long-sleeved tee under a sleeveless pink dress that is knee-length and has green shoes.
