'''The Popular Girl''' (or simply '''Popular Girl''') is a gossipy teenager who made her most noteworthy appearance on <i>Daria</i> in "[[The Invitation]]," with her only speaking role. She only appeared occasionally through the fifth season of ''Daria''.

==History==

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." According to the shooting script, she was called "Popular Girl One", with Tiffany being called "Popular Girl Two" and Sandi already having her canon 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 [her debut]. (Sandi probably had something to do with it)".

⚫

~~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.
