==Background==
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 ("[[Road Worrier]]"). <br><br><br><br><br><br><br> Her insecurities are so bad that she was reduced to unstoppable tears for a whole day when blown off by [[Bret Strand]] ("[[Fair Enough]]"); and on the [http://www.mtv.com/onair/daria/fashionclub/digitaldating/ Selective Soulmate] dating site run by the Fashion Club, Stacy says she wants a man who "will accept me as I am. Unless you'd like me better if I were different. What should I change?" She's seeing [[Margaret Manson|Mrs. Manson]] for counselling, but Manson isn't paying attention. ("[[The Daria Database]]") However, she is just as often portrayed with a wide smile. She can switch from being happy to sad quickly.

In the intro to each episode, Stacy and [[Tiffany]] can be seen playing netball on the same team as Daria, when Daria is not making much effort to participate. It is difficult to imagine the circumstances when Daria would be playing netball alongside Stacy and Tiffany, especially given that the Fashion Club looked down on sports.
 
===Early Stacy===
 
In the earliest episodes, Stacy's timid nature and crying fits did not show up (bar a freakout over stretch pants in "[[Road Worrier]]"). In fact, in "[[Malled]]" and "[[Too Cute]]", Stacy is no different to Quinn and Sandi! She even gets a really catty comment in the first - "we'll find, like, a loser poster girl" - that is surprisingly mean in retrospect. Similarly, "[[The Daria Diaries]]" has a copy of Fashion Club minutes taken by Stacy, which show her being more assertive:
 
a) not striking from the record that Quinn had split ends: more assertive than she'd later be
 
b) arguing with Quinn about a philosophical point (that disco-revival is not the same as time travel, "that's just reinterpreting classic apparel concepts")
 
The real answer for Stacy being less timid is that the writers hadn't decided on that yet, but in-universe did something happen during S1...?
