'''Charles Ruttheimer III''', known as "Upchuck," is a student at [[Lawndale High]], in [[Daria Morgendorffer|Daria]]'s class. He is largely known for his buffoon-like attempts to engender female interest. The nickname "Upchuck" is, obviously, a reference to his repulsive manner.

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, and 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.
Line 24 ⟶ 22:
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.

Other than the ladies, another of Upchuck's interests is magic. He'd perform simple tricks for shoppers at [[Lawndale Mall]], and once pulled off an amazing disappearing act at Lawndale High, with the help of [[Stacy Rowe]]. This is the only occasion in the television series where a girl willingly worked with Upchuck.

Line 41 ⟶ 43:
''[[The Daria Diaries]]'' reveals that he maintains his own website ([[Ultrasuave Universe]], at www.ultrasuave.com) with an archive of pick-up lines, jokes, pictures of himself, snippets of songs, and a "Gallery of Feisty Babes" (which includes Eleanor Roosevelt, noting she wasn't hot "but just you try denying she was feisty - you cannot!"). He's working on a Shemp Howard Search Engine. The links and Feisty Woman section show he's a fan of the Aeon Flux cartoon; of comedians Jerry Lewis, the Three Stooges, and Monty Python; and superhero comic books, specifically Captain Muscle.
