'''Amelia''' is a teenager at [[Camp Grizzly]] in the episode, "[[Camp Fear]]" and [[Daria Morgendorffer]]'s only known fan/follower. Freckled Amelia is taller than Daria and of stockier build, with dark bangs parted in the middle and dark glasses with square frames. She was voiced by [[Sarah Drew]], the voice of [[Stacy]].

Amelia saw herself and Daria as having a lot in common. In fact, the main reason Amelia came to the reunion was so that she could meet Daria again. She idolized Daria as the ultimate rebel, though most of Daria's "rebellious" acts during her stay at [[Camp Grizzly]] could be explained through either bad luck or Daria's conscious choice to isolate herself from others.
Amelia's adoration of Daria is so great that when [[Jane Lane|Jane]] refers to Amelia as "Daria having a secret fan club," Amelia takes the statement literally and assumes that Daria has an ''actual'' fan club. In Amelia's imagination, both she and Daria are examples of independent people "not following the crowd."

When Daria tells Amelia that she doesn't have to follow [[Skip Stevens|Skip's]] planned agenda for the Camp Grizzly reunion, Amelia tells Daria that she wants to hang out with her. Daria tires of Amelia's clinginess and points out that Amelia has done nothing but follow Daria around since her arrival. Daria tells Amelia that she not only doesn't want to follow a crowd around, she doesn't want to gather a crowd, either. She suggests Amelia go practice being an individual somewhere else. Amelia angrily turns against Daria, telling her she's learned the truth: Daria doesn't like ''anybody''.
Line 30:
She ends by stating she will never return to Camp Grizzly. Amelia's heartfelt speech is greeted with the campers' cheers, and they pelt Skip with their Camp Grizzly T-shirts in Amelia's support.

Before Daria leaves the camp, she and Amelia are partially reconciled. Amelia hopes that her speech didn't hurt Daria's feelings, but Daria commends the speech for its truthfulness. Elsewhere, [[Skip Stevens]] complains on the ride home with [[Quinn Morgendorffer|Quinn]] that Amelia is the "worst camper ever" who "doesn't even try to sing" and "never won anything."

Line 41:
It has also been speculated that "[[Camp Fear]]," which featured an unusual number of character [[clone]]s, was using Amelia as a pseudo-[[Jane Lane]] (but an unsuccessful one).

Line 62:
Amelia has also been depicted twice in Dariarotica by [[Wouter Jaegers]] one time in a stand alone piece where she's depicted enjoying herself at a tree overlooking Camp Grizzly and in the unfinished story "The Camp we used to fear" in which she takes over the role as camp leader from Mr. Potts.
