Line 1: ''Daria'' fandom got a surprise in the very first fan-conducted interview with series creator [[Glenn Eichler]], early in 2005, when it was revealed that [[Jake Morgendorffer]] was supposed to have had an older sister. ''Daria'' fandom got a surprise in the very first fan-conducted interview with series creator [[Glenn Eichler]], early in 2005, when it was revealed that [[Jake Morgendorffer]] was supposed to have had an older sister. Fans of the series were long aware of clues that Jake was not an only child, such as [[Ruth Morgendorffer]]’s comment in “[[Jake of Hearts]]” that [["Mad Dog" Morgendorffer\|her husband]] “gave me fifty dollars a month for my allowance. Allowance! As if keeping his house spotless and raising his children was only worth the price of a couple of girdles!” In ''[[The Daria Diaries]]'' is a photo of [[Helen Morgendorffer\|Helen]], [[Quinn Morgendorffer\|Quinn]], and [[Daria Morgendorffer\|Daria]] dressed to go to the wedding of one of Daria's cousins, but this cannot be the cousin who was married in the episode, "[[I Don't]]," as the Morgendorffers had not yet moved to [[Lawndale]] and are assumedly still in [[Highland]]. Since [[Erin Chambers]] is the only cousin Daria has on her mother's side, Daria thus has (at least) one cousin on her father's side, who would be the child of one of her father's siblings.▼ ▲''Daria'' fandom got a surprise in the very first fan-conducted interview with series creator [[Glenn Eichler]], early in 2005, when it was revealed that [[Jake Morgendorffer]] was supposed to have had an older sister.

Little is known of this unseen individual, though much is speculated. It is interesting that Jake himself never once mentions having a sister, or any other sibling, in [[canon]]. Still, her existence seems clear enough to make her a canon character. Line 13 ⟶ 15: [[Mike Xeno]]'s "[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1421329/2/Committed Committed]" gave Jake a brawny, bullying older brother, who has contempt for him and claims his bullying is an attempt to toughen Jake up. He physically resembles their father and is a US Marine; this resemblence and uniform briefly caused Jake to think Mad Dog had come back from the dead. ~~===Eve Morgendorffer===~~ [[Charles RB]]'s "[[God Save The Esteem]]" named her Eve Morgendorffer in its 31st story, after previously joking that nobody could remember her name. She's a highly passive woman, raised to know 'a woman's place', and is in a loveless marriage with a self-important bore named Captain Steele (from the ''Left Behind'' books, or rather [http://www.patheos.com/community/slacktivist/ Slacktivist's] demolition of the same). ===Joan Morgendorffer=== Line 34 ⟶ 32: * [http://thepaperpusher.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=10372&p=133059#p133059 "Time for another plot bunny (this time with bonus info!)"]: Could Darius be Daria's cousin? * [http://thepaperpusher.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=8415 "Iron Chef: Daria's Half-Siblings on Jake's Side"]: related musings * [http://thepaperpusher.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=8174&p=99839#p99839 "Essay topics for the future"]: Could there also be an older brother of Jake's?
