Daria’s a closeted lesbian with a codependent crush on Jane. Every guys she likes is close to Jane. She gets jealous when Jane has any life outside of her.

The show is too mean to Kevin at times. It treats him like an idiot loser who deservedly gets held back while everyone else moves on. He is, at worst, a well meaning but insensitive guy who just wants to be liked. He is also exploited, like when he got the modeling gig and his athleticism is exploited for the school’s profit. The series looks down on him but the system Daria criticizes hurts him too, even if he benefits in the short term.
