Because of her shy personality, her mother often signs her up for various activities to get her involved in social gatherings with peers. Fern herself sometimes thinks that she is too quiet, once referring to herself as "invisible".<ref>"[[Popular Girls]]"</ref> Although Fern is shy, when something goes wrong she will speak her mind on behalf of what she believes to be the right thing. | Because of her shy personality, her mother often signs her up for various activities to get her involved in social gatherings with peers.

Fern is well known as a talented and realistic raconteur, especially when it comes to horror and mystery stories. She loves solving mysteries, and once solved a real mystery in the episode "[[Fern's Slumber Party]]." Fern is also talented musically. She is a great singer and can perform music from several genres, such as rock (as seen in ''[[Arthur - It's Only Rock 'n' Roll]]''), or pop, which we see in [[Phony Fern]]. She plays the flute and is in the school band with Arthur and his friends. Her favorite authors are [[Agatha Christie]], [[Mary Shelley]], and [[Persimmony Glitchet]]. Fern's favorite books are the Sherlock Holmes mysteries and [[Frankenstein (story)|Frankenstein]]. | Fern is well known as a talented and realistic raconteur, especially when it comes to horror and mystery stories.

Fern is depicted as introverted and quiet at first, worried about mixing with her peers. As Binky says in "[[I'm a Poet]]", Fern "never says anything". However, following that episode, she starts to become involved more socially with her friends, interacting with them and helping some of them with their problems | Fern is depicted as introverted and quiet at first, worried about mixing with her peers.

One of Fern's most notable talents is her flair and aptitude for writing poetry and stories, which was first highlighted in "I'm a Poet" and strengthened in "[[Fernlets by Fern]]" and "[[Fern and Persimmony Glitchet]]". In addition, Fern also has a great deal of imagination, helping her write very good stories. As evidenced, she has a quick wit for playing tricks, and on one occasion she fooled even Brain into believing a yarn concerning giant worms in "[[War of the Worms]]". In the special "Arthur: It's Only Rock 'n' Roll", it is revealed that she is a great singer. | |||
However, some of Fern's major flaws stem from her stubbornness and headstrong attitude, which can be very trying to others at times and can potentially lead to arguments, including a particularly venomous altercation with Francine. | |||
Fern also has a small talent for acting, as seen in "[[No Acting, Please]]". In that same episode, she is also a great ad-libber, as she helps Grandma Thora overcome forgetting her lines by making a speech that fits into the theme of the play, with the audience never knowing the difference. | Fern also has a small talent for acting, as seen in "[[No Acting, Please]]".
