* Quinn Morgendorffer, the younger, more popular sister of WesternAnimation/{{Daria}}, may have legions of guys falling for her and she might be at the top of the social food chain at Lawndale High, but that's just because of her looks. It's frequently shown Quinn has almost nothing interesting or engaging to talk about, and she'll usual ramble on and on about how hard it is to be well dressed and popular when she's not blabbering about contrasting sock length or coordinating shoelace coloring with her date's car. In at least two instances, Quinn's rambling knocked out a psychiatrist and her tutor once called her out on how boring she really is. Deep down, Quinn's genuinely terrified of being this since she has such low self esteem she thinks she really has nothing to offer beyond gossiping and talking about fashion. Quinn eventually starts to display her HiddenDepths and finds out she does have more to offer.
