Line 28:
She has described [[Jane Lane]] as basically the only real friend she's ever had.
 
Her starsign is Scorpio ("[[ReadingBeavis Sucks]]and Butt-head: Chicken Soup for the Butt").
 
Daria has a high intelligence for her age group, knowing about a wide variety of subjects and noted to be both at the top of many classes and getting repeated A grades. Daria is also shown to be quite lazy and apathetic: she manages to get her high grades despite, as far as we can see, not working that hard.

In Daria's first incarnation as a recurring character on ''[[Beavis and Butt-head]],'' she formed a female, intelligent foil to the two male dunderheads. (She was, a producer/writer for the show stated, "the smart girl who hung around with Beavis and Butt-head because it annoyed her parents.) Often, the two would openly mock her and refer to her as "Diarrhea." Daria was named by [[Mike Judge]] after a girl at his school who'd had that name... and ''also'' been nicknamed "Diarrhea". He cites David Felton as coming up with her look ("like [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynda_Barry Lynda Barry]").
 
''[[Beavis and Butt-head (TV series)|Beavis and Butt-head]]'' took place in a small town called [[Highland]], whose state is never named but presumed to be Texas, where Daria, Beavis, and Butt-head were in the ninth grade at [[Highland High]].
