Grandma Barksdale: Difference between revisions

[[Helen Morgendorffer]]'s mother, who is never directly seen or heard from in the [[Daria (TV series)|''Daria'' series]]. Her presence, however, is felt from Erin's wedding onward ("[[I Don't]]"). It is implied that she is unable to travel, and also implied that she is well off enough financially to afford showering Rita and [[Erin]] with gifts and windfalls. Of her three daughters, she is closest to [[Rita Barksdale]] and appears to favor her over Helen and [[Amy Barksdale|Amy]]. This spawned a long-running feud between the three sisters that is finally (one hopes) resolved in "[[Aunt Nauseum]]." Before then, Helen occasionally rants about the unfair treatment Rita gets, said rants being remarkably similar to her husband [[Jake Morgendorffer]]'s rants against his father.
