"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 3840 episodes in total, appearing the most in Season 4 (with ten episodes) and the least in Season 5 (with five episodes). Burnout Girl was one of the few students to attend [[Timothy O'Neill|O'Neill's]] self-esteem class with Daria and [[Jane Lane|Jane]]. She is in several other classes with them as well, and is seen sitting next to Daria at their graduation ceremony in ''Is It College Yet?,'' indicating that she was in the same grade as them.
 
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]], youBurnout Girl can see Burnoutbe sitting on stairs leading to a 2ndsecond floor door, -leading ismany thatfans whereto speculate she lives?may live at that address.
 
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]]".

==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 ButtheadButt-head (TV series)|Beavis and Butt-head]]'' animator Willy Hartland, where she was labeled: ''Burnout Chick— “Cristy”''. However, to what extent she was meant to be a supporting character in these early days is unknown.
 
[[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."
