''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.▼

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.
