Characterization
Diane is the economics teacher of Lawndale High. She is married to a man named Herbert and both collect stuffed toys called Fuzzy Wuzzy Wee Bits, which seem to be a parody of Beanie Babies.
When teaching in class, Diane's byzantine diagrams on the chalkboard resemble football plays, leaving practically all her students in a fog when trying to understand what she's writing.
Bennett also seems to be at least partially in charge of accounting in Lawndale High, as she is seen discussing this topic with Angela Li in "Fizz Ed" and "Fair Enough". Based on "Fair Enough", she shows forward planning with her budgeting - ensuring the library would be able to renovate its roof - but is unaware that Li is pilfering from the funds to buy more security equipment.
She appears to enjoy having Daria Morgendorffer as a student, and was inspired by one of her sarcastic comments to run a field trip in "Malled".
Trivia
- Diane is known for having an unexplained hatred of pennies and loving the "clicky-clack sound" that chalk makes on a blackboard ("The Daria Diaries").
- Her voice actress is Amy Bennett, which would lead people to think that she is named for her voice actress, at least in terms of the last name.
