'''Tricia Gupty''' is the oldest child of the [[Gupty]] family. She is the daughter of [[Lester Gupty|Lester]] and [[Lauren Gupty]] and the older sister of [[Tad Gupty]]. The family first appeared as background characters in "[[Malled]]." Their main focus comes from the episode "[[Pinch Sitter]]," when [[Daria]] babysits them. ([[Quinn]] usually babysits them, but convinced Daria to do it because she had a date.)
Tricia and Tad are based on actual kids [[Anne D. Bernstein]] used to babysit for, according to [http://www.mtv.com/onair/daria/flipbook/guestward/ "Guestward Ho!"]. ▼
Like Tad, Tricia is well-behaved to the point that Daria finds them unnerving. She is able to easily recite lessons her parents have taught her about why television commercials are scams and sugar is bad for you. Instead, she enjoys such wholesome activities as flossing and brushing hair. She and Tad usually get along, though they bicker a bit (such as claiming Tad lost a game Daria used to keep them quiet). She pulls Daria's hair and calls her "mean" at one point for accidentally making Tad cry (by asking what he would do if two adults told him opposite things). However, she is eventually able to entertain and, in her words, "deprogram" them by the end of the night, and both claim she is their favorite babysitter.
Tricia has a minor appearance in the episode "[[I Loathe a Parade]]," where Daria and [[Tom Sloane|Tom]] find Tad lost and attempt to locate his family.
Tricia's exact age is unknown. However, Daria says Tad is six year old during the events of "[[Pinch Sitter]]," and Tricia appears to only be a year or two older.
