At the beginning, she can be fairly characterized as smart, cynical, and a little ruthless. She is not afraid to physically rough up her little sister when the latter clearly deserves it (note the ending of [[The New Kid]]). She is not afraid to take a series of very risky, manipulative actions to call attention to her school's principal's unethical behavior ([[This Year's Model]]). She has, by her own admission, never had a real friend until [[Jane Lane]]; She has, however, alluded to her own consideration of [[Beavis
As time went on, Daria would have to face the flip-side of her high standards and cynicism: an ugly judgmental streak ([[Partner's Complaint]]), problems with living up to her own standards ([[Through a Lens Darkly]]), fear of trying ([[The Story of D]]), and excessive unpleasantness at people who didn't deserve it ([[Camp Fear]]). She also became vicious and unpleasant when Jane had boyfriends, fearing that Jane was going to be taken away from her; [[Tom Sloane]] would tell her how stupid this was, citing that Jane was constantly talking about Daria. By the time of "[[Psycho Therapy]]", Daria was quite calmly stating "I'm so defensive that I actually work to make people dislike me so I won't feel bad when they do", showing she was aware of this flaw within herself.
