>I honestly feel bad for Daphne Blake. Of the two female characters of the group, she's EASILY the less defined, personality-wise, and that unfortunately carried over the years. If I remember correctly, she's actually made more appearances than Velma has, being a regular character in at least one TV series during the pre-wilderness years (the 80s) without Fred and her. Everybody loves Velma, though. She's got all the fan art!
>Let this be a history lesson for writers and artists: personality will always be much sexier than conventional beauty standards
>It took about 40 years, though for her to actually get a distinct personality, for Scooby-Doo's big revival in the 1990s for "Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island", but in my honest opinion, her best incarnation by far is actually her last TV appearance in "Be Cool, Scooby-Doo".
>If you're like me (and literally everyone else on Earth) and missed it while it was running, she's actually really funny in it. She's basically a nonviolent Harley Quinn; she's basically a self-demonstrating parody of eccentric high schoolers. The show itself is actually pretty good, but I have to admit it had no chance following up "Mystery Incorporated", and probably died so violently because it was its immediate follow-up.
>From vaguely wealthy pretty girl cipher to genuinely hilarious outsider. I personally believe it's a testament to the strength of these characters and their designs that the same five teens can be traveling the country solving mysteries almost continuously for nearly as long as Doctor Who.
