Due to her strong visual design and recurring presence, Burnout Girl has become something of a cult favorite in the fandom and has been featured in a fair amount in fan fiction and fan art.
==Character Overview==
==Notable Appearances==▼
"Burnout Girl" appears frequently in the background of the series, showing up all the way in the unfinished 1996 pilot "[[Sealed with a Kick]]" where she is seen in shop class making a bong. This also marks her most notable speaking appearance, as she calls [[Kevin Thompson]] a "geek" after he interrupts the class to publicly declare his desire to date [[Daria]], however, this episode is generally not considered canon.
[[Image:Burnout back01.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Burnout is even noticeable from behind due to her striking red skull backpatch.]]In the main show, she makes her first appearance in the premiere "[[Esteemsters]]" and her final appearance in "[[Is It College Yet?]]". She appears in
There's a nod to her in "[[Monster]]", when [[Stacy Rowe]] wears Burnout Girl's clothes to [[Fashion Club|the club's]] 'Fashion Don't' costume gala.
Line 29:
It also marks a rare occasion where a backgrounder is acknowledged by the primary cast, as Daria immediately photographs Burnout as she writhes on the floor. [[Ted DeWitt-Clinton]] later remarks on the photo stating that the image really captures her pain, to which Daria states that "She's fine, in fact she fell off the uneven bars today, so it was clearly her own fault". Burnout Girl's only other "speaking" appearances are her cheering in "[[Jake of Hearts]]" (muffled by other people cheering) and singing in "[[Daria!]]" (muffled by other people singing).
In "[[Pierce Me]]", to the side of [[Axl]]'s shop at [[Dega Street]],
She is a smoker, as evidenced in "Jake of Hearts", where she smokes a cigarette in the high school parking lot while leaning against a blue car. She is also a regular at the [[The Zon]] and is present at the venue during it's appearances in "[[Ill]]" and "[[Jane's Addition]]".
Line 39:
One strange appearance is "[[Antisocial Climbers]]", where - unique among the other characters - she isn't wearing any special clothes for mountain hiking or winter weather for the field trip, despite the harsh conditions she'd be in. When we see the students shivering from a blizzard in a cabin, Burnout is casually leaning against the wall as if the cold doesn't bother her. Whoa.
[[Image:BurnoutInferno.png|thumb|right|200px|Like many of the other NPCs in the room (including Jane), Burnout's color palate has curiously been swapped.]]In the opening montage of "[[Is It Fall Yet?]]", Burnout is among the characters dancing on the beach. Likewise, during the ‘70s portion of "Is It College Yet?" montage, she is present at the fraternity beer keg alongside [[Brittany]], cheering for Kevin as he crushes a beer can into his head.
In "[[Daria's Inferno]]", Burnout can be briefly glimpsed over Kevin's shoulder in the opening cutscene when the class dozes off. In game, she can be found in [[Anthony DeMartino|DeMartino's]] dungeon, having been strapped to a chair and being electrocuted with the rest of the class, her scream from "The New Kid" is reused here. Later, when the player enters O'Neill's classroom, a color-swapped variant of Burnout Girl can be seen sleeping face-down at her desk.
==Development==
[[Image:BurnoutComparison.png|thumb|200px|left|On the left, the initial Hartland sketch, on the right, the production sketch from the MTV flipbook]]
Initial designs for the character date back to 1995 in early pre-production sketches of ''Daria'' by ''[[Beavis and
[[Image:KarenDisher90s.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Karen Disher]]The "Before They Were Daria Stars" flipbook says she "evolved into a different character" but doesn't further clarify. The "Oh, the Obscurity!" flipbook elaborates by stating "supervising director [[Karen Disher]] designed this character and based it upon her very own self. "Burnout Girl" appeared in the original Daria pilot and is often seen roaming the halls of Lawndale High, lost in thought, much like Karen."
