Role in the series[]
Goof Troop[]
Debbie is first heard on the phone talking to Goofy, asking if she can visit him and Max, to which Goofy agrees. After being informed by Goofy of his cousin's upcoming visit, Max shows his best friend P.J. a photo of Debbie when she was younger (which P.J. disliked) and tells him that she was his babysitter for five years, and that he always believed that she was trying to choke him to death with baby powder (when she was actually changing his diaper).
Sometime later, Debbie drives to the home of her uncle and cousin, where Max and P.J. are surprised at how different she looks from the photo. When P.J. brings up what Max had said about Debbie babysitting him, she playfully questions her cousin on if he is still telling people that she tried to choke him to death with baby powder, which Max denies. Debbie later agrees to pretend to be Max's girlfriend in order for him and P.J. to get into Burger Behemoth, which they were constantly being prevented from entering by Duke and his gang The Pharaohs. During this plan, Duke took a liking to Debbie and tried to seduce her, but failed.
After Max defeats Duke in a skateboarding race, Debbie joins him and P.J. in eating at Burger Behemoth whilst a defeated Duke looks on from afar with his gang. In an attempt to get some burgers, they asked Max, P.J. and Debbie politely, but they played the last laugh by telling them they couldn't have any burgers, before they finished answering their question. (The screen faded, and then lighted up again) Max and co. were kidding actually, and decided to get the Pharaoh Gang burgers, subsided by them.

Trivia[]
- It is never stated how old Debbie is, but given that she's old enough to drive a car, she must be at least 16. Likewise, it is also never stated if she is in high school or college, but given that she was Max's babysitter way back when he was still in diapers, it is more plausible for her to now be in college. In the first place, in order for her to have been old enough to babysit Max as an infant, there would have to be a large enough age gap between her and the presently middle school-aged Max. As in, a gap larger than there would be if she, presently-speaking, were merely a high schooler. Therefore, if she is in college, then she would be at least 18 years old.
- Though she and Max are stated to be cousins, it is never explained how they are related. They are most likely first cousins, as Debbie consistently refers to Max's father as "Uncle Goofy," which in turn would mean that one of Debbie's parents is the sibling of either Goofy or Max's mother. Since Debbie is noticeably absent from Goofy's family reunion in "Calling All Goofs" (which both had the same writer as "Leader of the Pack" and was produced after it), this would suggest that she may be related to Max through his mother's side of the family.
- It is presumed that Max and Debbie hadn't seen each other since they were young children; upon first meeting her again in the episode, Max was quite surprised at how different she looked from the photo he had of her.
- The animation model for Debbie's younger design (shown in the photo pictured above) was recycled for other girls seen in two other episodes.
- In "Dr. Horatio's Magic Orchestra", it was used twice for two different girls: The first was seen in a flashback as a member of an audience watching a homecoming concert performed by the Spoonerville Elementary school band, which Pete was a part of back when he was 10 years old. The second was also seen in the same flashback, as the guitar-playing member of said band.
- In "Educating Goofy", it was used throughout the episode for a student at Max's school named Millie.
