Line 19:
The few hints we get regarding Andrea confirm her cynical outlook on life. Her locker is adorned with a skull and crossbones poster and a biohazard poster ([[Arts 'N Crass]]). She is happy to make a bet on Mr. DeMartino getting injured in the DJ/Faculty roller hockey game (and it is implied that she wins the betting pool). When [[Quinn Morgendorffer|Quinn]] foolishly tries to raise money from Lawndale High Students so she can get plastic surgery ([[Too Cute]]), Andrea asks Quinn if she's worried there might be a hell.
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.
The only other 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?
