Biography:

There is not much known about Daphne Duck. In The Sign Of The Triple Distelfink Don Rosa shows that on the day she was born a painterman painted a triple Distelfink sign above the barn doors. For some reason that sign provided Daphne with an extreme luck. Some time after 1902 she married Goostave Gander. Together they had one son Gladstone Gander who indeed inherited his mothers luck.
