Daria/Heartwarming: Difference between revisions

* In "Boxing Daria," when Daria and Jane meet in the diner. Actually, most of the end of Boxing Daria.

** {{spoiler|"It occurs to me that I wasn't the easiest child in the world to raise, and perhaps I'm quite lucky to have you for parents."}}

* ''[[Daria]]'' in "Gifted." When she has her conversation with Jodie who confesses her chafing at being "[[Positive Discrimination|Queen of]] [[Token Minority|the Negroes]]" at school and wishing to be more like Daria and her [[The Snark Knight|fearless candor]]. At that Daria confesses that she occasionally wishes she could be more like Jodie and when Jodie is flattered by that statement, you see Daria respond "I'm not saying all the time," with that small smile that she grants only to the people who deserve it.

* In "I Loathe A Parade" Jodie gets fed up with the hypocrisy of her and Mack [[Positive Discrimination|being elected Homecoming King and Queen every year]], as well as how humiliating she finds standing on a float in a poofy dress waving to the crowd. Just as she and Mack decide they're sick of playing along with the charade, she sees a young black girl in the crowd waving and looking at her with shining, hopeful eyes. She smiles and promptly stands up again to keep waving.

'''Jodie:''' Oh what the hell. We may be tokens, but we're damn good looking ones. }}

* Lucky Strike: When Quinn, in front of the whole class and with not a trace of shame, defends Daria to the other students and admits that they are sisters. Even if {{spoiler|[[The Not-Secret|everybody already knew]]}}.

* In the episode "See Jane Run", Jane joins the track team to prove a point to the gym teacher, and get close to a cute guy she likes. During the episode Jane and Daria grow further apart, culminating in a confrontation near the end. However, when the same cute guy calls Daria a loser, the first thing Jane does is quit the track team. She knows who her real friends are.

* At the climax of the series' [[Wham! Episode]] "Dye! Dye! My Darling" Daria is quite possibly at the lowest point in her life after {{spoiler|kissing Jane's boyfriend Tom}}. With no-one else to turn to she goes to see her mother at work who, despite ranting at her secretary about how she has "no time to waste" ''immdeiately'' drops everything to go out to a cafe and sit down to talk with her daughter. And she actually manages to make Daria feel better too!

'''Helen:''' Oh don't worry about that! [[Blatant Lies|It's completely under control.]] ''<smiles>''<br />

'''Daria:''' ''<smiles>'' }}
