When I was a kid I used to read the Little Miss series. One of my favourites was little Miss Plump. She was a Miss who ate a lot and was rather greedy. The other day I was looking for my old Little Miss Books and found most of them except Little Miss Plump. I decided that I'd buy myself another copy just for reminiscing purposes. I can't believe that Little Miss Plump no longer exists, now she's "Little Miss Greedy". I suppose it's politically incorrect to call her Plump, but hey it's better than Little Miss Fat-so. Little Miss Greedy is so boring and clearly put on her by some self-righteous publisher. I don't think that calling someone "plump" is politically incorrect at all. As a matter of fact I like to refer to myself as a little plump. Little Miss Greedy will always be Little Miss Plump to me. No worries "Little Miss Greedy" I like you for who you are, plumpness and all!!!!

I'd rather have her called greedy than plump, but not because I have any problem with calling a plump girl plump... it's just that 'plump' isn't a personality trait.
Some plump girls steal all the cake. Some skinny girls steal all the cake. Some plump girls are not greedy at all. If the character's main trait is that she's greedy and steals all the cake, Little Miss Greedy is more appropriate. IMO. :)
