Welcome to Gaia! ::

Who is your favorite and why?

Daria
Age: 18
Occupation: Student; 12th grade
Goals: Escape Lawndale with sanity intact

Smart. Sarcastic. Cynical. Literate. Outcast. These terms all seem to go together. And they all describe Daria. Stuck in a public high-school in a typical suburban town, surrounded by morons, she uses her intellect and cynical idea of human nature to escape from complete boredom.

She dislikes jerks, idiots, psychologists, well, quite a lot of things. It'll be easier to list what she does like. She enjoys reading, especially the classics. She enjoys writing. She also likes to watch Sick, Sad World with her friend Jane. She is currently dating Tom Sloane, an occurance which caused her to remark "hell's frozen over".


Amy & Rita Barksdale

Amy and Rita are Helen's sisters and the aunts of Daria and Quinn. Getting along is not the strong suit of the Barksdale sisters; Helen still harbors a lot of bitterness towards Rita for the preferential treatment she received (and still receives) from their parents, while Amy doesn't care much for either one of her constantly competing siblings. In fact, while Amy was growing up, all she could do was provide sarcastic "color commentary" to her sisters' antics... a role that a certain "misery chick" would find very familiar.

Rita and Amy's first appearance was in the episode "I Don't" (#204), at the disastrous wedding of Rita's daughter Erin. Amy would next be seen in the episode "Through A Lens Darkly" (#301), where she gives "her favorite niece" advice about getting contact lenses. Both Rita and Amy would next show up in "Aunt Nauseam" (#510), as Helen attempts to handle Erin's divorce while engaging in further sibling rivalry with Rita.

Amy has long been a fan fiction favorite, with authors often using her as a mentor for Daria or as a sounding board for her problems. That changed somewhat in light of the events of "Aunt Nauseam" (#510), which showed that Amy was just as flawed as everyone else when she got herself sucked into her sisters' bickering. It took Daria and Quinn to show all three of them just how foolishly they were acting, and made both girls vow to never let their relationship mirror that of their mother and aunts.


Mystik Spiral
(Trent, Jesse, Nick, and Max)

The grunge rock band Mystik Spiral is composed of guitarist and vocalist Trent Lane, rhythm guitarist Jesse Moreno, bass guitarist Nicholas Campbell ("Nick"), and drummer Max Tyler (owner of the band's infamous van, "The Tank"). Their dream, like those of every other band, is to make it big, but so far, their fame hasn't extended beyond the Zon, McGrundy's Pub, and the occasional small gig (but at least they aren't a Doors cover band playing brew pubs; no, sir, they're an all-original band playing brew pubs).

Jesse isn't exactly what you'd call the sharpest knife in the drawer. Look beyond his beefcake build and his leather pants and vest (but no shirt) and you'll find... well, not much, actually. He talks like a stoner, his most profound thought is "cool," and he gives Trent a run for his money in the sleeping department. Jesse's first appearance was in "Road Worrier" (#111) where he accompanied Trent, Daria, and Jane on their ill-fated road trip to Alternapalooza.

Not much is known about Nick, but the bald-headed Max is definitely a colorful guy. He fancies himself and the rest of the Spiral as outlaws and "criminales," but an encounter with a Fremont sherrif's deputy in "Speedtrapped" (#310) put the lie to that one (he turned into a blubbering wreck), and after being made a "junior deputy" -- complete with toy badge -- we see he's actually just a kid at heart. Nick and Max first appeared in "Ill" (#209), but they wouldn't get to speak until "Speedtrapped" (#310).

*shrugs* personally I love Daria, we are similiar in just too many ways... >.>... id marry her if I could... heart

Trent and Jane are my favorites because well..he is sooo insanely hot and I wanna sleep with him soooo bad. That's really saying alot since I am such a lesbian and don't wanna sleep with any man fictional or real. Well, except Trent. ROTFL

And I am hellaguilty of being in head over heels for Jane. Oh who am I fooling....truth be told..I am still in love with Jane. I really wanted for her and Daria to hook up just once. razz Jane Forever!

Really? You did write Daria/Jane femslash? I would kill to read some.
Do you have any of it posted anywhere for public viewing?

Daria and Trent are my favourites. Purposely because they both sort of share the same attitude towards a lot of things... and they almost hook up too.

I love Daria and Jane, and especially when they're together. Their dry and sarcastic humor would always make me laugh. Those girls are great.

I must say I was super obsessed with Jane when the show was still on the air, and I can draw her very well because of it. biggrin I do a pretty good Spunky the Space dog as well from her journal.

I really loved Jake O.O

I guess because he was so oblivious and in his own world alll the time haha and I loved his random singing too.

Then I really liked Thom O_O I have no idea WHY I just did.

The ENTIRE Lane family because it reminds me of mine... ahhh nostalgia. Wind sent me into hysterics everytime he was in an episode XD


Andrea simply because she was the token goth... Brittany and Kevie heart
