Teen doofus ERNIE was nothing special, but he had a sister, Billie, who was depicted as a forthright girl, who (in just one story) is seen working a punch-bag in their yard-- something you certainly didn't see every day in the period.
However, the closest she came to wreaking violence was when she once tackled her dummy of a brother.
ADDENDA: For reasons unknown to me, ERNIE was also known as ANDY, but his sister BILLIE stays the same, and in SCREAM #19 she's seen getting rowdy, confirming my suspicion that she was meant to give "tough girl" vibes.
