Ted DeWitt-Clinton

Introduced in the episode, "The New Kid," Ted is a peer of Daria and Jane at Lawndale High. He makes his appearance in episode 207, The New Kid, where he is one of the main characters.

Despite this auspicious entrance, however, the character would almost never reappear in the Series again, was not seen in any of their classes and did not appear in season five. Therefore, tt is not entirely clear if he was in the same grade as Daria.

=Episodes= Ted is present in the follwoing episodes:


 * 207 - The New Kid


 * 403 - A Tree Grows In Lawndale (just a mute appearance at the football game);


 * 406 - I loathe a parade (appears photographing Daria and Tom and has a brief line).

=Family and home=

Ted's parents are Leslie DeWitt and Grant Clinton. It is unknown if he has any siblings. They live in a two-storey house in Lawndale.

Ted's parents vocally claim a dislike for the modern society and its 'offerings': their house is equipped with solar pannels; they plant corn, skash and beans in the front and back yards; they don't drink coffee nor alcohol and do not watch television. They hate the Beatles and gum and dispise Greenpeace. Ted and his father have made a wooden couch, carved from a whole tree, and built a phonograph from scratch.

=Personality and Intrests=

By his own admission, Ted had a very sheltered childhood, having been home-schooled, and had to ask his parents to change to a public school. Because of this, he is portrayed as being a naïve and unaware of the realities of school life, and displays ignorance of normal teenage life in Lawndale. Despite this he has a knack of interests: he is interested in Viola de Gamba ("The new kid") and photography; has worked in the school yearbook ("the new kid", "I loathe a parade"). He also knows how to make jewellery, has taught himself to fight with swords and has practised isommetrical exercises, which he can use as self defense ("The new kid").
