Jesse Moreno

Closest friend and former classmate of Trent Lane, guitarist in Mystik Spiral.

He is, frankly, portrayed as being about as stupid as Tiffany Blum-Deckler. His most frequent word, really syllable, uttered is a clueless-sounding "yeah!"

Typical dialogue includes the following, from Is It Fall Yet?


 * (The setting is the end of the first set at a Mystik Spiral concert.)
 * Trent: We'll be back later for our second set.
 * Jesse: This was the first set!
 * Trent: Ah....Yeah.

Another facet of his personality is that he's interested in appealing to the ladies. In the Mystik Spiral pilot script (included on the Daria: The Complete Animated Series boxset), Jesse was shown to actually be a ladies man and capable of easily pulling chicks; it was not stated how he managed this.

He is at one point described, by Jane Lane, as the "rhythm guitarist," for the band, but he did take the solo for the Spiral's video, Freaking Friends.

Fanfic was occasionally known to have Jane Lane hooking up with Jesse, presumably to make a double-couple with Trent and Daria Morgendorffer. (See Gang of Four.) Several fanfics have given him a younger brother called Danny.
