Pets as Characters

Some fanfiction writers have included pets as characters in their stories. In some tales, they are not really pets and only pretend to be, being highly intelligent. Sometimes the pets can speak.

These critters include:

• Alabama. In some stories featuring Evelyn Veronica Morgendorffer, Alabama is the pet ferret of her best friend Vidalia Johanssen. Alabama acts as if Evie is his mistress, following her instructions and wanting to sleep in her bed.

• Bump. Bump is Daria's foundling cat in Falling Into College, by Richard Lobinske.

• J.B.. J.B. is the bulldog of background character Dawn in The Angst Guy's story, "A Hard Days' Night." He is also the dog Daria almost hit in the episode, "Through a Lens Darkly."

• Fluffy. This is Sandi Griffin's cat, mentioned only in "The Misery Chick."

• Joyce. Daria's cat in Ruthless Bunny's series, Bed and Breakfast Man, is named Joyce.

• Leary IV. Coyote Yeager and Willow Yeager's German shepherd (from "That Was Then, This Is Dumb") was featured in Paws Force Power Rangers by Brother Grimace.

• Opie. At one point in the Tales of Young Daria series by Galen Hardesty, Daria owned an orphaned opossum. Opie has also appeared in numerous ficlets.

• Roger the Mouse. This rodent is featured in "Scarlett" by The Angst Guy. Roger is the mouse from Daria and Kevin's experiment in "The Lab Brat," adopted by Scarlett, also known as "the ankh girl."

• Zachary and Taylor. The Lane cats mentioned in The Daria Database have been used in several stories.
