Canon: Daria Morgendorffer and her family moves to the town of Lawndale, leaving her and her sister with a fresh start at a new high school. She quickly finds that it's not much different from any other high school. The popular people find each other immediately, and everyone else is left to fend for themselves. Fortunately, Daria is more than capable of the task. She has a good sense of humor to go along with her above average intelligence which allows her to provide commentary on her daily experiences. The show follows her journey through the American educational system and examines all angles of high school life.
As stated, Daria is the main character of this so-called life. She has a reputation around school for being a "brain," thanks to her ability to comprehend basic concepts. Her faith in the rest of the school body isn't very high, and she has no qualms about addressing those beliefs. She has a quick wit and a comment for every situation, something which she has trouble stifling in times when she would prefer to be discreet. As a side effect, however, many people look right through the humor and focus on her negativity. She's thought of as depressing and someone with low self-esteem, but somehow that makes her more approachable when someone happens to need advice. As such, she is able to lend her insight for good, too. Sometimes, however, her straightforward nature can cause her to be abrasive, since she has difficulty relieving her mind of her own moral standpoints. She tends to have her opinion of right and wrong which can conflict with others’ emotional concerns. Still, she is willing to review her actions and apologize upon deciding that she may have been insensitive.
Sample Post:
Mr. No Brainer, even though I should feel insulted that you called me to your office solely for this reason, I happen to agree with you. There shouldn't be so much of a divide between the zombies simply because of how many body parts one has left. Beauty is only skin deep, and with how little skin you all have left, I wouldn't have assumed that any of you were shallow. The bad news is that I don't really have any advice for you. Not the kind that you're looking for, anyway. What you're looking for is someone to tell you how to fit in with the rest of the zombies, but my expertise is more concerning the acceptance of your differences. I almost can't believe I'm saying this, but as far as zombies go, there's nothing wrong with you.
I'm not a zombie, and I'm merely basing my speculations off of my own personal experiences. While I can't say that I'm an expert on zombie physiology, psychology, or any other -ologies, I'm pretty sure that we're not all that different. So let me guess. You're worried because all the other zombies think of you as a "brain." No, I'm not psychic, sir. It's just that I can clearly see your brain from here, and I must say it is an intimidating specimen. But if you're really looking to subdue that image, you might want to consider getting rid of this office, too. It could be considered geeky.
Sir, that last part was a joke. There's no need to pack everything up in the middle of our meeting, and there's nothing wrong with a little bit of professionalism in your daily life. Everyone needs a hobby, after all. Besides, I wouldn't want to take away the only thing you can manage to keep together. Not your brain, sir. In fact, I'm starting to wonder how you even got such a reputation. I was talking about the paperwork. Don't you have anything in your files that can help you out with your dilemma?
Oh, here we go. The Zombie Enquirer. "Ten Eye-popping Ways to Make You Stand Out." Sure, because it doesn’t matter what you look like if you can eliminate the retinas of everyone around you. Are these the only magazines you get around here? I think it’s safe to say I’ve located the source of your low self-esteem. Tell you what. I’ll take these off your hands and even look into getting some better material to fill your cabinets. In the meantime, you get to spend a lot of quality time with the bathroom mirror. I want you to really look inside yourself until you can find the beauty within. Don’t worry. It won’t be that hard. I can practically see it from here.
