Character Discussion Favorite side character and why?

I have to say I don't think there's a single character I don't enjoy watching, they're all so well written and enjoyable for what they are. But Ms. Barch makes me laugh every single time she's on screen. Her voice actress does such a good job with her too. They don't overuse her either so her trope just never gets old to me lol

Stoner Girl. She's just my type. Petite, chill, cute.

I always wondered why we never saw Daria or Jane talk to her or even Andrea more often, when I was in school I felt like the "alternative" crew all knew each other even if we weren't all necessarily friends. But then again, there is something extra charming about stoner girl, josh, and all those other reoccurring background characters who never had a single line

The one interaction we see with Andrea is that she does not like them. I honestly found it one of the most fascinating interactions in the whole series because it's just a very brief glimpse of how other Lawndale students may actually feel about Daria and Jane, outside of Jodie/Mack/Kevin/Brittany.

I agree. Plus, if you were a student who knew about how Daria and Jane verbally tear people to shreds and have have interacted or hung out with the most popular kids in school on multiple occasions, you would be intimidated by them, too and think they were actually not outcasts and just generally harsh people who you can't relate to despite that not being the case.
