She hates Anthony DeMartino and he regards her with fear, to the extent he tried to prevent [[Timothy O'Neill]] from marrying her for O'Neill's own safety. She has physically assaulted DeMartino in "[[The New Kid]]" (to scare him into changing the Yearbook layout) and "[[The Daria Database]]" (for no apparent reason), and in "[[The Lawndale File]]" lied to Immigration that DeMartino was an illegal immigrant so he'd be incarcerated. Despite that, in "[[Antisocial Climbers]]" it was DeMartino who was tasked to translate Barch's traumatised whimperings into English, which he was able to do. |

Daria knows exactly what to say to please Barch and can manipulate her misandry to get a better mark. Barch seems to like Daria's more cynical ideas and comments. ("[[The Lab Brat]]") |

In "[[The Big House]]", during a hockey game against DJs, Barch is seen having [[Rock N' Roll Randy]] in a headlock and punching him repeatedly while snarling "It's payback time, Randy!". It sounded like a personal vendetta: was Randy intended to have been her ex-husband? |

Despite her misandry damaging her ability to teach, Barch seems to have some sense of pride in her work - in "[[Fizz Ed]]", when she was forced to give inane lessons that would promote [[Ultra Cola]], she was clearly fed up and responded to her suggested 'lesson plan' by announcing "or I can just spend the rest of the day in the teachers' bathroom, staring at the tiles" and then walking out. Later, in "[[Lucky Strike]]", she was the first teacher during union negotiations to bluntly ask Li "are we getting our raise or not?", and took a key role in the union strike by crafting the picket signs (which weren't fit for purpose and had to be redone by [[Jane Lane]]). |
