==List of Daria backgrounders==
===Angel===
[[Image:Angel.png|thumb|200px|Angel starts things off.]]
Named after fanfic writer [[Angelinhel]]. A punk-ish student in [[Daria]]'s history and economics classes, recognisable by her shaggy, Farrah Fawcett-esque punk hair.
She has often been seen hanging out with [[Shaggy]], starting with "[[Esteemsters]]" - as Shaggy had only just joined [[Lawndale High]], they must have hit it off early on. In "[[Pinch Sitter]]" Shaggy either transformed into her or she magically switched places with him in the middle of class, that's how close they are! She has also been seen hanging out with [[Bob]] a few times, as well as several times with [[Dawn]] and once with [[Burnout Girl]] (Bob was with both Angel and Burnout).
"[[It Happened One Nut]]" showed her getting her career aptitude test results; she looked somewhat bemused by them.
While appearing mildly punk-ish, in "[[The Lost Girls]]" she was one of the many students wearing school colours to mark Val's visit.
''Appearances in fanfiction''
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]].
===Bib Overalls===
[[Image:BibOveralls.png|thumb|200px|left|"Bib Overalls"]]
Named for her denim suspenders with a bib pocket, this short black girl keeps her hair in a bun and generally goes around with a wide-eyed expression. She appears in numerous class and lunchroom scenes, both alone and with other characters, making it difficult to pin down her clique or friends. In "[[The Invitation]]," she and Pie Cap may be flirting with each other. We also know that she's on the yearbook staff ("[[The New Kid]]") and she switches her outfit to the school colors in "[[The Lost Girls]]."
Line 18 ⟶ 36:
===Blue Shirt===
[[Image:Blue Shirt.jpg|thumb|
Named for his blue rugby shirt, this tall, stocky backgrounder is generally seen in the hallway or cafeteria scenes. He usually has a smile on his face, but not always, as the picture to the right shows.
Line 27 ⟶ 45:
In "[[The Invitation]]" he shares an Art class with Daria, implying they're in the same grade, but during her graduation in "[[Is It College Yet?]]" he can be seen in the audience (next to Brittany's family).
===Chipmunk===
[[Image:Chipmunk.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Chipmunk]]
Named for the two buns that resemble chipmunk ears; usually seen with a sad expression. When not participating in track, her shoes and pullover blouse are chocolate brown, her long pants are burnt orange, and her midriff shows.
Most significantly, she's a member of the [[Lawndale High Track Team]] in "[[See Jane Run]]" and implicitly was friendly with her for weeks, before joining the team in helping [[Ms. Morris]] menace Jane into rejoining. In a rare facial expression, she's seen celebrating Jane's victory.
In "[[Monster]], she actually has a speaking part, saying "God, I thought I was the only one ashamed of my pores" to Quinn.
''Appearances in fanfiction''
"[[God Save The Esteem]]" first gave her fanon life and started the trend of calling her Siobhan (here Siobhan Hogan). She greatly dislikes her nickname of 'Chipmunk'. She's a senior (with a job) and a 'queen bee', recruited by Sandi for a plot against Daria - 'Chipmunk' has no idea who this is. She later turns up as a more dangerous antagonist after Daria crosses the track team. She later appeared in "[[Lawndale Fighting Championship]]" as Siobhan Hogan, a tagteam partner of [[Evan]]'s under the name The Track Stars. In [[Lawndale and Sandi Griffin's Genie]] she is still a seniot but ''likes'' the nickname 'Chipmunk' (often shortened to 'Chip'), and called Lisbeth Siobhan Ogden.
===Green Cap Dude===
Line 52 ⟶ 83:
===Jade Hoodie===
[[Image:JadeHoodie.jpg|thumb|250px|right|Jade Hoodie's glad to be getting outta here]]
Jade Hoodie is named for his jade-coloured hoodie; he has swept-back light brown hair and is an easy going, oft-happy dude. He's in Daria's year, and also in her classes. Friends with the Three Js (and shares [[Jamie White]]'s hairstyle), Green Cap, and Pie Cap. Has been seen once or twice next to [[Jennifer (black girl)|Jennifer]], and may be friends with her too. He was really pleased with his results from the test to work out your future career in "[[It Happened One Nut]]".
Line 100 ⟶ 131:
===Petite Red===
[[Image:PetiteRed.png|thumb|right|
Petite Red is a short, skinny girl with red hair. She wears a denim jacket, blue skirt and glasses. She first appeared in the episode "[[College Bored]]", showing up twice at [[Middleton College]]: once talking with the blond frat boy who would later bother [[Helen]], and then in the line of girls consulting Daria on their schoolwork. (Strangely, in season two she begins appearing at [[Lawndale High School]] instead. Maybe she was visiting Middleton like the Morgendorffers but then why was she getting her essays done like the college kids??)
Line 114 ⟶ 145:
''Appearances in fanfic''
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).
===Priscilla===
Line 135 ⟶ 166:
''Appearances in fanfic''
Her only real appearance by 2011 was the [[Lawndale Fighting Championship]] series as a female wrestler called Ruby Montag and tag-team partner to Winona in A-List Incorporated. (
===Spike===
[[Image:Esteemrepr.jpg|thumb|right|200px|"All yours, dude."]]
Spike, named for reasons that are visually obvious, is a tall, lanky punk with an eyebrow piercing, always seen in his black wifebeater shirt. Hopefully he cleans it.
He was most prominent in "[[Ill]]", where he stumbled coughing out of the ''girl's'' toilets at [[the Zon]], apparently too drunk to realise it wasn't the men's. Since he's a [[Lawndale High]] student, that means (like [[Bob]]) he's drinking early.
''Appearances in fanfiction''
He was one of Quinn's gang of punks and semi-punks in "[[God Save The Esteem]]", known for extreme stupidity and extreme violence. [[The Excellent S]]'s [[Lawndale Fighting Championship]] gave him the surname Rose, part of the tag-team Anarchy in the MD with [https://web.archive.org/web/20110717235233/http://www.theangstguy.com:80/backgrounders/097.html "Dave"].
===Tananda===
[[Image:Tananda.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Off to write real-person fanfic about kids she knows]]
Named for [[Tananda (fanfiction author|fanficcer Tananda]] by [[The Angst Guy]]. She usually wears a plain pastel green dress, which makes her look staid and demure. Her usual facial expression is no expression at all.
She was once seen sitting in the cafeteria with [[Scarlett (character)|Scarlett]] in "[[Too Cute]]" and another time with [[Dawn]] - and in "[[The Lab Brat]]" she went from being [[Brittany]]'s partner to abruptly being with [[Dawn]] instead - which are her main social interactions. She has a mauve party dress which she wore to go to the dance party in "[[Daria Dance Party]]" and the boat party in "[[Just Add Water]]", but didn't hang with anyone while there. She was in the Yearbook team in "[[The New Kid]]" - and even there, she was seen looking tired and bored in one scene before DeMartino dropped the sports teams.
She was one of the kids betting that DeMartino would fall or die in "[[The Big House]]", and showed a rare expression - ''anger'' - when he didn't.
When [[Mrs. Stoller]] taught class in "[[Lucky Strike]]", Tananda began to fall asleep.
''Appearances in fanfic''
She was given her fanon name in "[[Scarlett (story)|Scarlett]]" where she was a member of the Lawndale Leopard, a high-school girls' field hockey team known for its violent hard-partying ways, and a friend of Scarlett's.
===Tank Top===
Line 182 ⟶ 238:
''Appearances in fanfic''
In "[[Lawndale Fighting Championship]]" he is a wrestler named Guy Crawford.
