{{quote|Daria's [concept]... was the only note from the network, a development note, and I actually agreed with it that it'd be a good idea to have a female character who didn't necessarily ''like'' [Beavis and Butt-head] but kinda tolerated them.|Mike Judge about Daria's genesis in the Beavis and Butt-Head DVD boxset}}
In Daria's first incarnation as a recurring character on ''[[Beavis and Butt-head (TV series)|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]") and with the character, though other sources credit [[Glenn Eichler]].
''[[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]].
