Every Busby quint has a label. Olivia is the goofball. Riley is the boss. Parker is the quiet one. Hazel is the sweetheart. And Ava? Ava is the one fans cannot agree on — because her own mother has given her two labels that seem to contradict each other completely.
On one hand, Ava Lane Busby is the sweet twin, the mommy’s girl, the firstborn quint who smiles her way through life. On the other, Danielle Busby herself once nicknamed her daughter “A for attitude” and called her the sassiest of all the girls. So which Ava is the real Ava? This is an evergreen fan debate — there is no new announcement behind it — built from the family’s own public words.
The Sweet Twin: Mommy’s Girl From Day One
Ava was the first quint born on April 8, 2015, and from the start she was the one glued to her mother. Danielle has written that Ava taught her she was not “really a claustrophobic person if it is you that is glued right next to me,” adding, “I love how you love me, even if you are mad at me… and you still want to be right next to me.”
TLC billed Ava as “very serious most of the time and very sweet,” noting she shows “little glimpses of her goofy side when she sees Olivia get going.” Fans know the pattern: Ava watches first, smiles second, and only then joins the chaos her identical twin sister starts.
“A for Attitude”: The Sassy Side Mom Herself Named
Then came the nickname that changed the whole conversation. When Ava turned five, Danielle updated fans on the family blog and gave her daughter a brand-new label: “A for attitude.” Her verdict was blunt: “This girl is the sassiest of all the girls.”
That is not a fan theory — it came from Mom herself. And it reframes everything fans thought they knew. The sweet twin, it turns out, has a sharp edge: as a toddler she was described as serious and even bossy before her goofy side broke through.

Here is the part Team Sassy loves to point out: Ava is the firstborn quint, and she has acted like it since infancy. Danielle wrote that Ava was the best eater and the best sleeper of the bunch, and her independent streak showed early. Oldest siblings, psychologists note, often grow into confident, take-charge personalities — and fans say Ava fits that pattern perfectly.
She loves to sing and perform, according to reports, and she loves shopping — for anything, groceries or clothes. That is not the profile of a wallflower. Team Sweetheart counters that confidence is not sass: Ava leads by example, quietly, the way a big sister does.
Twin vs. Twin: Why Fans Can’t Put Ava in One Box
The twin angle makes the debate even harder to settle. Ava and Olivia are identical twins, yet their parents have always called them night and day. Olivia is the comedian, the one who keeps everyone laughing. Ava, by contrast, was the serious one — until she wasn’t.
According to fans, that is the whole point: Ava contains both. She is the sweet twin who can out-sass all four of her sisters, the mommy’s girl who is also the firstborn leader, the observer who performs.
So now it is your turn. Is Ava Busby the sweetheart of the Busby house, or is she secretly the sassiest quint of all? Team Sweetheart or Team Sassy — pick your side in the comments, and tell us the moment that proved it to you.
