Andrea: Difference between revisions

 

Andrea's parents make her work at Payday ([[Mart of Darkness]]), and she's not happy about it. In ([[Daria's Inferno]]), Daria gives Andrea a cowbell to put in her nose to annoy her parents, and Andrea says: "That ''is'' irritating! Perfect." Daria's Inferno is Daria's dream, but if this is an indication of how seriously Daria takes Andrea and her goth sub-culture, it could be a reason why the two aren't friends or even acquaintances, even though they seem to have a lot in common. Daria also dreams of Andrea working for Upchuck and massaging his feet in "[[Murder, She Snored]]." ''Why?'' We don't know.

 

The only hint of Andrea's inner life comes from cartoon strips in [[The Daria Database]] drawn by "Andrea 666" called ''Gothic Nights: The Adventures of Queen Hecuba.'' The three cartoon strips deal with Queen Hecuba (a thinner, more regal version of Andrea) vanquishing enemies consisting of [[Charles "Upchuck" Ruttheimer III|Upchuck]], [[Kevin Thompson|Kevin]], the [[Lawndale High School]] faculty (except [[Janet Barch]]) and [[Mack Mackenzie]]. While the reasons for her antipathy toward the others is understandable, her beef with Mack is puzzling - the other enemies are all tricked into defeat and humiliations, while "Sir Mack the Fearless" is Hecuba's "archenemy" and requires fighting. That strip ends with a spectral version of Barch arriving, which terrifies Mack into retreat and causes Hecuba to give Barch a job; this makes Barch the only teacher given a positive role in the strip. Does Andrea like Barch?

In one strip, Queen Hecuba seeks to rescue her "beloved brother [[Damien]]" from an evil king. It is unclear if the unseen Damien is based on a real-life brother of Andrea's.
