'''Daria Morgendorffer''': The lone female writer on the late-night talk show, "Later Tonight with David Wollgreen." Having achieved her life-long goal of being a professional writer in New York, she's completely and utterly miserable to the point where she hasn't written a short story in years and barely even sticks at her job for the money anymore. The fact that she figured she'd finally get a little happiness back-pay and, yet, here she is, has silently devastated her, but her socially conscious mind beats herself up every time she gets overtly self-pitying. This has put a strain on her relationships with family and friends and she knows it, but Daria is genuinely unsure of what she's supposed to do when everyone expected her and Jane to be at the top of the world.

'''Jane Lane''': Daria's best friend (still) and artist who is mostly stuck doing commercial work in order to pay the bills, leaving her in an "Art Burn" situation that, this time, she can't simply walk out of. She's no happier than Daria about her current situation but is mostly concerned about her friend, who seems to be taking it harder than anyone else. Indeed, Jane is trying desperately not to think about life, the universe, and everything commercialized in it, and that may not be for the best either.

Focusing on Daria serves as a nice distraction from her own problems, but that may not be for the best either.


'''Trent Lane''': Still in touch with Daria and Jane (being in the same city and all), but he spends 98% of his time keeping bar at "Harold and Peters," to the detriment of any song-writing time. He mostly tries to keep Daria and Jane's spirits up without letting them ruin their livers, but he's also not in a great spot himself: Trent Lane, former fearless performer, has even begun to admit that his lyrics are stupid.
