This page is devoted to characters on Daria who have rarely had starring roles in fanfiction, let alone the actual show. Some of these characters have only had walk-on television roles; others have not even shown up yet!
Note that the requirement for this page is that a character must be underexposed in fanfiction. Characters like Amy and Stacy -- both underused on the show, but popular in fanfic -- do not qualify.
If you've got a fic that matches the specifications, send it my way!
