'''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_person_fiction Real person fiction]''', also called real-person fanfiction, RPF, actorfic, or celebrity fanfiction, is fanfic that uses live, famous, real-world individuals as primary characters. As might be guessed, RPF's existence rests on questionable legal and ethical grounds; its use is often discouraged out of the well-reasoned fear of legal reprisals for libel, though some celebrities have actually encouraged RPF featuring themselves. Fanfiction.net banned RPF in 2002. |

RPF is rarely seen in ''Daria'' fanfic, except for the occasional use of characters based on real-life fanfic authors, artists, and fans, usually in comic [[dream world]], [[reality crossover]], or [[alternate-universe]] tales (e.g., "[[Fandemonium]]," "[[Aunt Kara]]"). These characters almost always play secondary roles to actual ''Daria'' characters as they interact. |

Famous real-life personalities were referred to on a number of occasions in canon ''Daria'' material and its predecessor, ''Beavis and Butt-head'', but never shown . . . with two important exceptions. These celebrities are also seen or referred to often enough in ''Daria'' and related fanfiction to warrant special mention. |
