The Gang of Four was a short-term acronym for the four principal characters in classic Daria fanfiction who all travel together.

Typical GOF Configurations

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

The four were 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 in liked liked. The Jane/Jesse coupling does take 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.
