[[Alternate
As a result of taking faulty fertility drugs, [[Helen Morgendorffer|Helen]] gives birth to quintuplets, instead of her single daughter [[Quinn Morgendorffer|Quinn]]. The resulting media attention makes the "Quinnts" celebrities; as a result, the attention of both Helen and [[Jake Morgendorffer|Jake]] is focused almost exclusively on the Quinnts, leaving [[Daria Morgendorffer|Daria]] neglected. Because of this, Daria becomes even more introverted and anti-social, eventually turning to alcohol as a way of dealing with her problems.

==The Quinnts==
All five Quinnts have the same physical appearance as the original, and their personalities come from the different facets of Quinn's normal personality, now split between five different people. As detailed by The Angst Guy in the ''Quinnts'' series bible, their names and personalities are as follows:
Line 53 ⟶ 59:
**Appointments: Unpredictable—might show up early, late, on time, or not at all, except to sporting events, when she’s always early
**Daria’s View of Quincy: Soccer-brain, dopey sports addict, too strong to fight fairly
**Quincy’s View of Daria:
*'''Quill Kelly (“Quill”) Morgendorffer'''
Line 68 ⟶ 74:
**Romantic Interest: Ted DeWitt-Clinton (one grade ahead, once he appears at Lawndale)
**Appointments: Always early by about 10 minutes.
**Daria’s View of Quill:
**Quill’s View of Daria: Messed-up brain not plugged into the system, loser
Line 87 ⟶ 93:
**Qualla’s View of Daria: Boring, brainy, loner, loser

▲The first installment in the ''Quinnts'' series, roughly paralleling the events of [[Esteemsters]]. Daria and the Quinnts start at [[Lawndale High School]], where the Quinnts are already worshiped as celebrities, and Daria is seen as the weird and troubled sister, when she is noticed at all. Daria meets [[Jane|Jane Lane]] and, after learning she can trust her, shows her the downsides of being a sister to celebrities; she tells Jane how she has been betrayed by friends in the past, and how her parents destroyed all her writings after deciding that she was troubled and needed help. Daria also introduces Jane to her aunt [[Amy Barksdale]], her only other confidant. In the meantime, the Quinnts begin to develop their own relationships at Lawndale High.
