===Sexy Daria===
According to some fans of 'Daria', there are [[rare shots|episodes]] (such as '[[Quinn
could indicate that Daria is easily as physically attractive (if not even more so) than the majority of girls at [[Lawndale High]]. Because of these episodes, a fanfic stereotype has arisen in which Daria has actively resisted making herself sexually desirable to the opposite sex for several reasons - paramount among which is that, due to her (admittedly) high standards and her fear of being hurt emotionally after putting her trust in others - she refuses to put herself in situations where romance is a possibility for her.
In some of these fics, Daria is either passive or actively working towards maintaining her facade of unattractiveness for the reasons stated above; in some cases, she lowers her guard to devastating results. Fics of this nature include '[[The Beaches of Barksdale]]' by [[Galen Hardesty]], and [[Turnabout Confusion]] by [[Dennis]]. A second subset of this trope involves Daria lowering her defenses, including the changing of her canonic garb and 'man-stopper' glasses, as she finds a person worthy of trust; in stories of this nature, Daria (when allowing her physical nature to assert itself) is usually seen as a woman with a extraordinarily romantic and passionate nature, as she has found someone to express her inner desires and feelings with without fear of rejection, betrayal or abandonment. Such fics and serials include the works of [[Richard Lobinske]], the [[Been Here Before]] series of works by [[The Sidhe]], and the [[Pause in the Air]] series by [[The Angst Guy]].
Some fans also feel that the use of depictions of physical intimacy within such fics can be seen as a barometer of the quality of the work; these fans believe that with a greater use of graphic scenes of intimacy within the work, there is a equal decrease of the overall quality of the fic involved. These fans believe that the best fics depicting this Daria trope illuminate Daria's blossoming or aroused sexual/romantic nature without the need for such intimate details, and by not using them, project a more arousing image of the character.
