Line 25:
 
In [[The Angst Guy]]'s "[[Scarlett (story)|Scarlett]]" series (which christened her "Angel"), she is a member of the Lawndale High field hockey team, the Leopards. She becomes a close ally of Scarlett as the series progresses.
 
She became recurring in [[Charles RB]]'s [[God Save The Esteem]] series, where she is a member of Quinn's punk gang, The Maleficent Eleven. A subplot in "Kneel Before Zon" has Angel being chastised by the group for getting good grades and studying with Bob, Quinn's rival, until Angel stands up to Quinn by threatening to glass her (proving she's still punk).
 
Angel also appeared in [[Doggieboy]]'s [[The Cards You Are Dealt]] as Angel Marlowe, a friend/ally of Scarlett Hawkins and took part in a fight to the death against The Lawndale Werewolf; and, as Angel Ferrana, is a tag-team wrestler with "Slutty Girl" in [[The Excellent S]]' [[Lawndale Fighting Championship]].

This blonde girl in Daria's year is most recognizable for her nearly perpetual smile. In "[[Esteemsters]]" she smiles when she first sees Quinn and is still smiling when Quinn gets humiliated by Daria later in the episode. She can often be seen walking down the halls or in the lunchroom, sometimes in the company of other students (particularly [[#Blue Shirt|Blue Shirt]]).
 
She tried out for track in "[[See Jane Run]]" (to the [[Fashion Club]]'s bewilderment), but did not make the team. However, Happy Girl still cheers for Jane during an important track event later in the same episode. She is seen carrying the school's banner in "[[I Loathe a Parade]]," however, which presumably makes her a member of the Color Guard.
 
Ironically Happy Girl's most prominent scene was one where she was not happy--getting her fortune told by [[Janet Barch|Ms. Barch]] in "[[Fair Enough]]," which sent her off crying and finally revealed that she has a rather high voice.
 
Happy Girl was happy again a short time later, laughing at the disastrous Canterbury Tales play.
 
In the episode "[[Camp Fear]]" we see Happy Girl several times as one of the many former campers that were invited to visit [[Camp Grizzly]] that day. Happy Girl did not seem very enthusiastic about the reunion, perhaps recalling awkward experiences like the other Grizzlies did, and she kept her distance from other people during most of her screentime. This curious appearance could be proof that Happy Girl knew the Morgendorffer sisters from their Camp Grizzly days! (If so, she'd have believed them to be cousins until Daria revealed the surprising truth in "[[Esteemsters]].")
 
Some of Happy Girl's least noticeable moments are her brief, motionless appearance at the paintball course in "[[The Daria Hunter]]," her near undetectable presence in "[[Daria!]]" and her attendance of Kevin's funeral in "[[Murder, She Snored]]."
 
Happy Girl seems to be a solitary type of person, having attended one of Brittany's parties alone, and she was lonely at Camp Grizzly and the Medieval Fair as well. Other appearances of hers also suggest that Happy Girl may not be a very social person. However, judging from her dreamy smile she is happy about it.
 
''Appearances in fanfic''
 
In the "[[Lawndale Fighting Championship]]" series she is a wrestler named Anna Coulthard. In [[WellTemperedClavier]]'s [[The Background Blues]], she's Rebecca, the ever-cheery leader of the school's Christian Students Club and tries to bring Priscilla into the fold.
 
Sheila Wisz Ellayn would reuse the name Anna Coulthard for her fanfics. In [[Crystal Claw]], a paranormal style story, Coulthard gets a protagonist role and also deep character development. This same Anna Felicia Coulthard returns in [[Her Last Words]], though this time without magical powers. This story marks the beginning of S.W. Ellayn's AFC multiverse centered on Anna Coulthard, with several other fanfictions planned already.
 
In the fanfiction Stranger Without Time by Sy, Happy Girl gets to develop a romantic relationship with Quinn Morgendorffer. The story follows Anna's efforts to discover, explore and accept how she feels.

He has made only a few small appearances in fanfic, most notably in the [[Lawndale Fighting Championship]] series by [[The Excellent S]] as a tag team wrestler named Brendan Capper (in the Men With Hats team).
 
Pie Cap has finally landed a significant role in [[Her Last Words]], a darkfic by Sheila Wisz Ellayn and part of the AFC multiverse. In this story, Pie Cap has acquired the name of Larry Cappstein and he is the romantic partner of Happy Girl. Larry is unfortunate enough to be part of Happy Girl's ill-fated camping adventure, and suffers a great deal as a result.
 
===Priscilla===

''Appearances in fanfic''
 
[[WellTemperedClavier]]'s [[The Background Blues]] in 2021 finally gave this poor guy his own fanfic appearance. An outcast nerd called Victor Adamos, he had severe social anxiety, a passion for Warhammer 40K, and a severe crush on [[Jane Lane]]; when Principal Li banned students from spending lunch in the library, he ended up working with Priscilla to try and get the law overturned.
