Daria Morgendorffer: Difference between revisions

 

Any teacher that has Daria for any length of time develops strong opinions of her, and she often finds herself being drawn into their subplots:

 

* [[Timothy O'Neill]], her Language Arts/English/Drama Horizons teacher, first met her as part of the self-esteem workshop she was stuck in. He recognises and admires her writing skills and grasp of literature & art, and often calls on her to give answers in class & volunteer extra work and will sometimes be 'inspired' by things she says to do class assignments (he seems to come up with them himself while she protests). Ever since she graduated from self-esteem class early (by cheating), he's viewed her as someone he's mentoring (and says he's her "writing mentor" in "[[The Lost Girls]]"); he never seems to acknowledhe that he's irritating her and that she'd rather he stop bothering her. In "[[The Daria Diaries]]" he says that dealing with Daria is emotional bruising for him but he sticks with it because she reminds him of himself as a child. For her part, he's one of her main foes: in "[[The F Word]]" she's barely bothered that he's had a major crisis of faith and only helps him to use him against Quinn; she deliberately goes for the jugular in "[[Cafe Disaffecto]]"; expresses contempt for his rewriting in "Arts 'N Crass"; and when talking to troubled kid [[Link]], she says that even if O'Neill asked her to talk to the lad "I would never tell him anything anyway".
