Line 2:
Also called "OOC," "out of character" refers to any depiction in ''Daria'' fanfic that shows one or more series characters acting in a manner inconsistent with canon—e.g., showing [[Daria Morgendorffer]] as either stupid or obsessively fashion conscious. Alternate-universe depictions of canon characters may seen OOC, though an alteration to the usual cause-and-effect chain in the series is assumed to be responsible, and should be made clear in the tale as the lynch pin for the unfolding AU plot.
Part of the problem in evaluating an OOC situation is that an author can "[[cherry-pick]]" elements from canon and use them to show a character is not OOC, but a reader can often do an equally good job cherry-picking other elements to show the reverse.
