In Daria's first incarnation as a recurring character on ''[[Beavis and Butt-head (TV series)|Beavis and Butt-head]],'' she formed a female, intelligent foil to the two male dunderheads. (She was, a producer/writer for the show stated, "the smart girl who hung around with [[Beavis and Butt-head]] because it annoyed her parents.") Often, the two would openly mock her and refer to her as "Diarrhea." Daria was named by [[Mike Judge]] after a girl at his school who'd had that name... and ''also'' been nicknamed "Diarrhea". He cites [[David Felton]] as coming up with her look ("like [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynda_Barry Lynda Barry]") and with the character, though other sources credit [[Glenn Eichler]].

==Daria and Jane==
{{quote|Hi, I'm Daria, go to hell.|Jane imitating Daria in "[[The Invitation]]"}}
<br><br><br>Jane is the first and ''only'' friend Daria has ever made, by her own admission. Despite her history of deliberately isolating people and walling herself off, she almost immediately befriended Jane after the girl showed a similar cynical sense of humour. In "[[The Daria Diaries]]", she early on described Jane as "snide, resentful, and anti-social. Finally, a friend."
Line 237 ⟶ 241:
* [[Angela Li|Principal Li]] is Daria's other main foe and, unlike O'Neill, deliberately malevolent: the two have clashed, both verbally and all-out, on occasions. Li is eager to use Daria's academic achievements for the benefit of the school and, along with every other student, force and threaten her into "volunteering" and schemes. Daria will sometimes push back and sometimes brings down Li's schemes outright ("[[This Year's Model]]") and a number of times has had to clear up or navigate a mess Li's made ("[[Just Add Water]]", "[[Antisocial Climbers]]"). The principal had to begrudgingly give Daria an award for academic achievement at graduation and was ''very'' unhappy about it, while Jane was surprised Daria didn't assault Li with the award.
* Back at Highland High, [[Mr. Van Driessen]] made favourable comments about Daria's work ("[[U. S. History]]") and required her aid in "[[Beavis and Butt-head issue 27|The Great Bungholio]]", while Daria seemed concerned for him when he was injured in (non-speaking part episode) "Field Trip"; [[Coach Buzzcut]]
While Daria doesn't think much of any of her teachers, at least during S1 - in "The Daria Diaries" she says she respects her superiors "if only I could find any", in regards to the faculty - the ''teachers'' often seem to think a lot of ''her'', with a few exceptions (Morris and Li) who are corrupt and powerful figures.
