In "[[The Invitation]]," Popular Girl stands with [[Sandi]] and [[Tiffany]] at [[Brittany]]'s party, making snide comments about the party guests, such as, "Those three aren't popular at all. I don't know what they're doing here. Maybe some kind of exchange program." After "The Invitation," fans speculated whether Popular Girl remained a student at [[Lawndale High]], or was perhaps the graduating Fashion Club leader, passing the torch on to Sandi. She does, however, appear in the back of classes taken by [[Quinn Morgendorffer]] and the [[Fashion Club]], indicating she is 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.


The "Oh, the Obscurity!" feature on MTV's old ''Daria'' website both gives her name as "Popular Girl" and says "she dropped out of sight shortly thereafter [her debut]. (Sandi probably had something to do with it)", giving a tongue-in-cheek reason for why she ceased to be a character.
She is also seen in "[[Too Cute]]", standing among the group of popular girls admiring [[Brooke]]'s new nose job. Notably, she is one of the volleyball players on the team opposing Daria's in the opening scenes of each show.

Since she had no name in the series, [[Austin Covello]] gave 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.")
