This is a list of characters featured in MTV's animated series Daria (1997–2002).

In regards to both of Daria's parents, Gates said "The Morgendorffers don't even seem to notice that Daria constantly gives them lip."

Joey, Jeffy and Jamie (collectively known as "The Three J's") are three nearly-interchangeable high school students, all of whom have a crush on Quinn – which Quinn exploits to her advantage. The three constantly seek Quinn's attention and approval, usually by undermining one another and falling all over themselves to do or get whatever she even broadly hints that she wants. Despite their constant competition for Quinn's favors, which sometimes leads to fistfights, their friendship is never affected (at least, not for long), and the three are almost always seen together. Joey, Jeffy and Jamie are all members of the school's football team.

Quinn has occasionally used the three as fill-in dates when she can't find a "real" date. To Quinn, the three are simply a resource to be used. Although Quinn makes it clear she would never date any of them in episode #102 ("The Invitation"), they continued throughout the series to desperately try to win her over. Quinn chose alternately each of the three Js as her "steady" boyfriend (in "One J at a Time"), driven by the promise that having a steady boyfriend would make her mature (she was under the mistaken impression that Daria's dating Tom was part of her maturity, and Daria did not correct Quinn's assumption). Although the trio just stood nearby when she was put under pressure to make her (first) decision and although she dumped one after another, Quinn never attempted to go steady with any other males aside from them, and in Daria's short story about her family in the future (in "Write Where it Hurts"), it was Jamie who had won Quinn's hand in marriage.

One of the series' running gags was that other characters had extreme difficulty remembering Jamie's name; he was referred to as Jeremy, Jimmy, and Jameel, among other names. Despite this fact, Jamie is the only one of the trio whose surname – "White" – has been revealed on the show. The Three Js can be distinguished by their hair: Joey has black hair, Jeffy has auburn hair, and Jamie has blond hair. When Daria was drafted as a substitute teacher, she couldn't tell them apart and simply addressed each individual as "Jamie, Joey or Jeffy." However, she and the boys seemed to build a rapport when Daria praised their interesting if odd theories about Romeo & Juliet, and Jeffy even said she was a pretty good teacher. They are also the first characters in Quinn's group to learn that Daria is her sister (Daria introduces herself to them in "The Invitation" mostly as a way to further humiliate Quinn), and have even gone to her for help (in "Quinn the Brain", they ask her to help them get Quinn back to her normal self).
