Amy Barksdale is the youngest Barksdale sister, behind [[Rita Barksdale|Rita]] (the oldest) and Helen. [[Glenn Eichler]] said in an interview that at the time of "[[I Don't]]," when Daria was 16, Rita was "about 48-49," Helen "45-46," and Amy "about 40." This estimate is only roughly consistent with the dates in [[Richard Lobinske]]'s essay, [http://www.outpost-daria.com/essay/rl_daria_temporal_analysis_project.html "The Daria Temporal Analysis Project,"] but even the data from the show itself did not match up exactly. |

We are reasonably sure that Helen was born in the summer of 1950, though she was likely 47 at the time of "I Don't," which probably took place in spring 1998 (before Helen's 48th birthday). Amy Barksdale would then have been born about 1958, give or take a year, and Rita about 1947-1948. This becomes important later in working out the major events of Amy's childhood. |

==Physical Appearance== |
|||
Amy is a half-head taller than Daria and is slim in build. She is shown with a shapely hourglass figure and an oval face much like Daria's in "I Don't" and "Through a Lens Darkly," but her face becomes narrower and her figure less shapely in "Aunt Nauseam." Her thick, wavy hair falls to the bottoms of her shoulder blades and appears to be dark red in color in most images. She wears glasses with large round lenses, almost exactly like Daria's, though she also uses contacts without the glasses. |

In "[[I Don't]]", she attended [[Erin Chambers|Erin]]'s wedding, and escaped with Daria to get cheese fries and, more importantly, implicitly suggest that there's a place for one of Daria's mindset in the real world after all. |
