Margaret Manson

Margaret Manson is a character from the animated show Daria.

Background

Virtually nothing is known about Mrs. Margaret Manson other than she works as a school psychologist and guidance counselor for Lawndale High, although whether she has an actual degree in the field of psychology is unknown. (She doesn't have "Doctor" in front of her name, so there's no Ph.D.) She administers tests that only include a picture of two people talking, and her patients have to describe what they are talking about. Very few can decipher Margaret's psychological jargon and buzz words.

In "Esteemsters," she did not get along with Daria Morgendorffer and diagnosed her as having low self-esteem after testing her. Daria used her cynicism against Margaret's psychological mumbo-jumbo, who while testing Daria kept calling her "Dara."

Trivia

• Margaret's only speaking appearance was in "Esteemsters." She made a few nonspeaking appearances, in "Just Add Water" and "Lucky Strike," and shows up in The Daria Diaries counseling a weeping Stacy Rowe (but paying no attention to her).
• Her voice actress is Jessica Zaino.
• Margaret's last name is possibly a reference to notorious serial killer and cult leader Charles Manson.
