Charles "Upchuck" Ruttheimer the Third was a student at [[Lawndale High]], in Daria's class. His chief characteristic appears to have been attempting to arouse female interest by (badly) affecting a sophisticated persona, seemingly based in part on James Bond, Playboy founder Hugh Hefner, a distasteful parody of a bad Las Vegas comedian. For example, he often referred to females as "ladies," and always spoke the term in a salacious tone.

Interestingly, he for the most part appears to buy into his delusions of being a "Casanova." Delusions, however, is the proper term to describe his belief, as he appears to be among the least-popular students at Lawndale High, at least as far as the females were concerned. His status was confirmed by [[Tiffany]] with the brief phrase, "Upchuck? Ewww...." (See the episode [[Jake of Hearts]].)

This extends to females he encounters outside of school, including the cop from [[I Loathe a Parade]] who referred to him disparagingly as [[Don Guano]].


Perpetually-undeterred, Upchuck would make a sexual comment almost every time he appeared on-screen in the company of females, and would frequently deliver his catch phrase "Grrr... feisty!" in response to any insult or rejection thrown his way by women.
