==Appearances and characterization==
Morris appears in the episode "[[See Jane Run]]" and has two photos in "[[The Daria Database]]" and a non speaking appearances in "[[Lucky Strike]]" and "[[Life in the Past Lane]]".
She's been at Lawndale High for over a decade, and taught [[Penny Lane]] and [[Summer Lane]] before her. She has contempt for both girls and the Lane's in general, and deliberately targeted Penny when she was teaching her: "I taught her a thing or two about the American competitive spirit."

Morris was openly corrupt, turning phys-ed into covert cheerleading practice and fudging grades for athletes. Prior to the start of the series, she had taught Jane's sisters and viewed the whole family as shiftless slackers, inspiring Jane to join the track team. When the girl turned out to be good, Morris immediately started backing her and doing her favours. When Jane quit, Morris tried to blackmail her into rejoining the team by threatening to deliberately flunk her in Math, though she was forced to back off when Jane threatened to reveal it to the media. (Morris had already stated both [[Angela Li]] and the PTA were aware of the threat)
