Line 89:
Unlike most animated characters, Daria and her counterparts aged during the duration of the series. When the series began, Daria was a sophomore in high school and would graduate by the end of the series. (Depending on when she moved to Lawndale, as a Scorpio, she could've been fifteen for the first couple of episodes) When she graduated from high school in the show's final TV movie, she was 18 years old. According to the episode "[[Lane Miserables]]," her height is 5'2". Her hair, by general fan agreement based on color matching screen captures, is auburn (red-brown). Her eyes are brown, per an interview with Glenn Eichler and general implications made in "[[Through a Lens Darkly]]."
While much of the show is a vehicle for Daria's droll deadpan monotone one-liners, a recurring plot element in early seasons is Daria standing up to misused authority, leading some fans to conclude that her apparent cynicism is only skin deep (or at least that she is only cynical in the classical sense). This plot element returns in the fifth season episode "[[Fizz Ed]]".
An oft-quoted line from "[[Esteemsters]]," the first episode of ''Daria,'' sets the tone for Daria's attitude: "Don't worry, I don't have low self-esteem. It's a mistake. I have low esteem for everyone else."
