'''The Gang of Four''' was aan short-termearly fandom acronym for the four principal characters in classic ''Daria'' fanfiction who seem to travel together (in [[canon]]: "[[Road Worrier]]," "[[That Was Then, This Is Dumb]]," "[[Write Where It Hurts]]").

This is the basic Season 1-Season 3 group used by mostmany fanfic authors at the time (1997-1999). The Gang of Four included:

The four were [[shipper|romantically paired off]] as Daria/Trent and Jane/Jesse. The creation of the latter was probably influenced strongly by "[[Road Worrier]]," thanks to a scene in which [[Jane Lane]] and [[Jesse Moreno]] are shown leaning against each other, asleep in the back of the [[Tank]]. "[[Write Where It Hurts]]" also indicates a closer than expected relationship between Jesse and Jane. Quinn, in Daria's imagination, sees Trent and Jesse on horseback, and cries: "But look! Here approaches Mr. Lane himself, along with his sister's admirer, Mr. Moreno." This means Daria believed Jesse liked Jane, and(as in ''liked'' liked). The Jane/Jesse coupling does taketakes a damaging hit in "[[That Was Then, This Is Dumb]]," when at the flea market it becomes clear that Jesse is not listening to anything Jane says.
