Daria Morgendorffer is a fictional character and the title character of the American adult animated series Daria (1997–2002). She is voiced by Tracy Grandstaff. Daria was initially designed and created by Beavis and Butt-Head staff writer David Felton as a supporting character, serving as an intelligent foil to Beavis and Butt-Head.
MTV, which aired Beavis and Butt-Head, eventually sought to make an animated show catered more to female viewers; Glenn Eichler and Susie Lewis Lynn co-developed Daria. Mike Judge, creator of Beavis and Butt-Head, is officially credited as Daria's creator and designer.
The character received a positive response, being ranked at No. 41 on the TV Guide list of the "Top 50 Greatest Cartoon Characters of All Time" and No. 68 on AOL's list of the "100 Most Memorable Female TV Characters".
