Quinnts

Alternate-universe fanfic in script form by The Angst Guy.

As a result of taking faulty fertility drugs, Helen gives birth to quintuplets, instead of her single daughter Quinn. The resulting media attention makes the "Quinnts" celebrities; as a result, the attention of both Helen and Jake is focused almost exclusively on the Quinnts, leaving Daria neglected. Because of this, Daria becomes even more introverted and anti-social, eventually turning to alcohol as a way of dealing with her problems.

All five Quinnts have the same physical appearance as the original, and their personalities come from the different facets of Quinn's normal personality, now split between five different people. As detailed by The Angst Guy in the Quinnts series bible, their names and personalities are as follows:


 * Quinn Louise (“Quinn”) Morgendorffer


 * Thumbnail: High-fashion girl, Quinnts coordinator, cheery but proper, has a degree of maturity (but with a power-seeking manipulative streak), image conscious at all times
 * Mnemonic: The oldest Quinnt has Quinn’s name (and her fanfic-approved middle name). She is like the original Quinn—but with a dark, sophisticated twist.
 * Hair: Long and professionally styled in latest trends
 * Typical Clothing: Ultra-stylish, top European or American labels, expensive, tasteful
 * Activities: Teenage high-end fashion model (international reputation), chairman of Quinnts Fan Club
 * Unusual Skills: The most personally charismatic of the Quinnts, adept at interviews
 * Speech Patterns: Extraordinarily diplomatic, unfailingly cheerful and polite in public
 * Smells Like: High-class expensive perfume
 * Best Friend: Sandi Griffin (same grade, one year older)
 * Romantic Interests: Famous teenage male movie stars, singers, models, etc. (none from Lawndale); many male students want to date her but can’t get her attention
 * Appointments: Right on time or fashionably late, as appropriate
 * Daria’s View of Quinn: The prettiest cobra ever hatched
 * Quinn’s View of Daria: “She’s not the oldest—I am the oldest.” A rival for parental affection that will never win, an embittered failure, social outcast, loser
