Elsie Sloane

Elsie Sloane is the sister of Tom Sloane and the daughter of Angier and Kay Sloane.

Appearances and Characterisation


Elsie makes only two small appearances in Is it Fall Yet?, where she displays a somewhat cynical and bitter attitude. She shows an antagonistic relationship with Tom, randomly attacking him for "quasi-rebelliousness" and getting accused by him of having "faux-jadedness".

She was the first one of the Sloanes to recover from one of Daria's jokes and start laughing, though her initial reaction (despite her cynicism) was worried confusion.

In Fanfiction
Elsie is portrayed in fanfiction much more often than her brief appearances in the series, though her age relative to Tom differs from fic to fic. She is usually younger than him, though "The Hallowed Halls of Fielding" has them as twins. She and Tom are normally written as having a sibling rivalry much like Daria and Quinn have with one another.

Notable fanfics starring Elsie include "The Hallowed Halls of Fielding" (AU), where she becomes Daria's best friend when the girl starts at Fielding Preparatory Academy, and "But Now Is Found," where she becomes the best friend of a younger, alien abductee Daria.

She is a recurring antagonist in "God Save The Esteem," opposing Tom and Daria's relationship. At the beginning of the story she and Tom are attending Lawndale High, and she, rather than Quinn, is Sandi's rival in the Fashion Club.

In Fanart
Quiverwing created the first artwork featuring Elsie with The Hallowed Halls of Fielding, Starring..., followed by Unexpressed Hopes, and the Fielding Face Book, all based on the The Hallowed Halls of Fielding.

Since then, TonyOrk and CreepyDan have also created artwork of Elsie Sloane.
