Stacy Rowe: Difference between revisions

Stacy Rowe was a freshman (and later sophomore and junior) at [[Lawndale High]], and secretary of the [[Fashion Club]]; a quartet of fashion-obsessed teenage girls who held regular meetings to discuss various facets of the fashion world and, in their own words, "solve crimes against fashion." She was the first person to meet and greet [[Quinn Morgendorffer]] in the first episode, saying "you look cool!".

Stacy was perceived as "the weakest link" of the Fashion Club by club president [[Sandi Griffin]] and was sometimes humiliated and verbally abused by her. Stacy was constantly insecure to the point of neurosis and would hyperventilate or burst into tears when bad things happened to her... or even over ''minor'' issues, like the time she thought she was wearing stretchpants.

She constantly sought the attention and approval of fellow Fashion Club member [[Quinn Morgendorffer]] and would often side with Quinn when her friend butted heads with Sandi Griffin before getting bullied into taking Sandi's side. In a memorable scene from "[[Gifted]]," Stacy completely relinquishes her own tastes so they become exactly like Quinn's, a change that Quinn didn't approve of and made her leave the house. It is shown on that episode that Stacy looks up to Quinn and considers her to be her best friend, sometimes to a point that even Quinn cannot tolerate. It should be noted, however, that Quinn may consider Stacy to be her best friend, as well: In the beginning of "[[Of Human Bonding]]," when Quinn is only allowed to invite one friend for sleepover, Stacy is her first choice.

During Season Five of ''Daria'', several episodes spotlighted Stacy:. sheShe was the only member of the Fashion Club to be drawn favorably in a group caricature portrait; in "[[Art Burn]]", and kept hold of the portrait and secretly pinned it up inside her closet. In "[[Life in the Past Lane]]", she was astonished by [[Charles "Upchuck" Ruttheimer III]]'s magic acts and willingly became his assistant, inhelping him do more elaborate tricks; for one trick, she ''faked'' a magicsobbing actfit inas "[[Lifepart inof the Pastillusion Lane]]"that (whereUpchuck shewas trapped, and memorably chided Sandi 'for being naive'; andwhen sheSandi snappedfell atfor the trick.
