Line 9: In the shooting script she was called "Popular Girl One", with Tiffany being called "Popular Girl Two"; Sandi still had a name. She never speaks again after this episode. The "[[Oh, the Obscurity!]]" feature on MTV's old ''Daria'' website says, tongue in cheek, "she dropped out of sight shortly thereafter. (Sandi probably had something to do with it)". She appears in the back of classes taken by [[Quinn Morgendorffer]] and ~~the~~ [[the Fashion Club]], putting her in their grade at school. She is also seen in "[[Too Cute]]", standing among the group of popular girls admiring [[Brooke]]'s new nose job. She's been seen hanging with "[~~http://www.theangstguy.com/backgrounders/016.html Orange Girl~~[Kia]]" a number of times; the two are probably friends. In "I Loathe a Parade" she and [[Backgrounder#Blue_Shirt\| Blue Shirt]] seem to have something going on: the two are standing together, and Blue Shirt leans over to put his arm around her as Daria passes. (They are later pelted with candy by the football team, who misunderstood what 'passing out candy' means) Given her popularity, she probably dates a lot. Line 19: ==Fanfiction== ~~Since~~Vast ~~she~~hordes ~~had~~of noPopular ~~name~~Girl One appearances (many can be seen in the ~~series~~links below) started in spring 1999, when [[Austin Covello]] ~~gave~~named her ~~the name~~ '''Tori Jericho''' in ~~his spring 1999 fanfic,~~ "[[Boy Fiend]]." Austin continued to use this name in other stories (e.g., "[[Otherwise Known as Quinn the Great]]"), and the practice has since been widely adopted by other fanfic writers. (Austin even parodied his creation of the name in an [[AU]] tale, "Stacy Rowe, Evangelion Pilot.") Tori's personality has remained stable through most fanfics featuring her: a mildly irksome, shallow, rumor-mongering popularity princess who likes attention and dislikes Daria. She has running appearances in [[Canadibrit]]'s [[The Look-Alike Series]] stories as [[Lawndale High]]'s "one-stop gossip shop and popularity gauge on legs", and as a conspirator involved in the social disruption in [[Dennis]]' [[Turnabout Confusion]]. In [[Brother Grimace]]'s "[[It's All About Respect]]," Tori is shown as on-air reporter/anchor for [[Lion Tales]], the LHS in-school news program~~. It's also commented that she has a predilection for wearing '''very''' tight sweaters while on the air~~. This role, too, has been adopted by other writers (e.g., "[[Four Play]]," by [[Crusading Saint]]). ~~[[Canadibrit]] has included Tori Jericho in many of her [[The Look-Alike Series]] stories as [[Lawndale High]]'s "one-stop gossip shop and popularity gauge on legs."~~ Her relationship with the Fashion Club in general and Sandi in particular changes from story to story, but sometimes she ends up ''in'' the Fashion Club if another member is out of favour. In [[cfardell_Brenorenz29]]'s "[[Quinn's Code]]" series, she replaces Quinn and is very unnerved by how obsessive Sandi is getting; inn [[The Excellent S]]' ''[[Lawndale Fighting Championship]]'' series, Tori replaced Stacy in the Fashion Club wrestling group after she, along with Sandi and Tiffany, brutally excommunicated her from the group. In the [[Daylight]] [[Legion of Lawndale Heroes]] fic ''[[The Hope Mission]]'', Tori is shown to be a Legionnaire named ''Wildfire''. She is mentioned as one of the three most powerful Legionnaires (on a par with [[Tom Sloane]] and [[Bai Zheng\|Bai Zheng Bo]]), and appears to be composed of a deadly anti-energy form that she controls with the aid of [[Psychon-class devices\|Mark 70 quantum stabilizers]]; with them, she can maintain a primarily human appearance that possesses [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TronLines 'Tron line'-style energy emissions] over her body. The number and intensity of the energy emissions varies with Tori's emotional state; the calmer she is, the fewer lines appear. As the events of the Daylight and mainstream LLH worlds were almost identical before the events of Zero Hour, it can safely be assumed that the Tori Jericho of the mainstream LLH reality has either gained the Wildfire powers or will do so at some time in the future.▼ ▲In the [[Daylight]] [[Legion of Lawndale Heroes]] fic ''[[The Hope Mission]]'', Tori is ~~shown to be~~ a Legionnaire named ''Wildfire''~~.
