Daphne Blake is the quirky and wide-eyed member of the gang of teen mystery-solvers.

Physical appearance

Daphne is an attractive teenager, with shoulder-length ginger hair, with bangs. She wears a purple short-sleeved top and dress, with light purple rims, as well as, a dark purple headband, a green scarf, and pink high tops, with purple socks up to her ankles. She has a slim figure.

Personality

Daphne is outgoing and optimistic. She is always trying something new that might make her seem "kooky" on the surface. It is almost as if she is trying to find her role in the Gang, and she actually has a list of things to try. However, this seemingly random aspect of her personality can be an annoyance to leader, Fred Jones. He gets quite annoyed with her at times, while she doesn't see anything wrong with it. Occasionally, if he doesn't see it as likely to cause a problem, he will tolerable her quirks, such as letting her roller skate as his assistant in a magic act.

Velma Dinkley doesn't think it's a good idea to indulge her by acknowledging what she is doing. She has even wanted to avoid her altogether when splitting up. Velma will call out crazy or illegal quirks, such as when Daphne thought she could qualify as a lawyer by completing a video game.

Despite these "flaws", she is always there to perk the Gang up as a metaphorical cheerleader, or on one occasion a mascot. When everyone has doubts about being able to solve the mystery they are on she is able to point out how important everyone is and remind them of their respective roles.

History

Early life

When Daphne was little, her mother forced her to compete in Little Miss Wow! Pageants, which she now feels was demeaning. The fact that she had a very tough coach also soured her to this sort of competition.

Daphne was childhood friends with Bradwick Haverall. He was quite fond of her, although Daphne was unaware of this.

Fred once threw a snowball at her, and she never got over it, biding her time until she could get her revenge.

It is revealed her great-grandmother Mimi Blake once funded an archaeological dig where a prehistoric pendant was found. She later gave Daphne the pendant on her tenth birthday, and she treasured it. Years later, her mother donated it to the prehistoric exhibit at the Ice hotel the family co-owned with her permission, assuring her it would be safe. However, Daphne didn't believe her mother and tried to break into the hotel's vault to get her pendant back, but ended up getting herself and the rest of the gang locked up. She was later proven right about the pendant not being safe because Ms. Anja, the hotel co-owner, was also trying to steal it disguised as the Ice Man so she could sell it and use the money to buy the Blakes' half of the hotel.

Notes/Trivia

• Usually, the Blakes are said to be of Scottish heritage, not Irish like this one.
• Technically, Daphne has not appeared in every episode, but she did have a virtually identical Victorian version in Scroogey Doo. Also, in Greece is the Word, she had an Ancient Greece version, but the regular Daphne also appeared in that episode.
• Daphne was seen as a Rapunzel type who's upbringing was her castle.
• She was written closer to Grey Griffin's own personality.
• Daphne was only danger-prone in the first episode, since it didn't fit the character any longer, who had been given so much personality, that it was no longer required.
• Daphne’s Birthday falls on Christmas Day.
• This Daphne claims she doesn't have any sisters, which actually fits in line with the original incarnation who has yet to reveal any siblings.
• Daphne is the first member of the gang to have one of their parents mentioned.
• This incarnation of Daphne doesn't wear long sleeves and pink stockings.
• This is the only incarnation of Daphne who primarily sits in the back of the Mystery Machine with Shaggy and Scooby-Doo.
• Daphne is incredibly cruel to Velma in Pizza O'Possum's, by forcing her to get to play a video game (something she was obsessed with as a child), to capture Pizza O'Possum, then has the nerve to tell her to stop playing once it's captured. Because of these uncharacteristic traits, creator and story editor, Jon Colton Barry, objected to them being canon, as Pizza O'Possum's and The Curse of Half-Beard's Booty were simply tests for a failed redo of what a third season could be.
• Out of all of Daphne's incarnations, this one is arguably the least mature and intelligent, although this appears to vary by the episode, and many of her "quirks" reveal that she is multi-talented in diverse fields ranging from music and puppetry to mime and accents.
  • It is implied in the episodes Gremlin on a Plane, Eating Crow and Greece is the Word that this incarnation of Daphne Blake would have low self-esteem, which would explain why this incarnation of Daphne Blake is more immature than the other versions of her.
    • This may be a result of what happened to her in the past as it is revealed in the episode Worst in Show that she participated in the beauty contest "Little Miss Wow! Pageant" under pressure from her mother. This may imply that this version of Mrs. Blake is more controlling, proud, authoritarian and cruel than her other incarnations, as revealed in the episode Giant Problems in which Daphne mentions to Velma that she could not use a certain phrase because her mother could sue her for copyright and she had lawyers everywhere.
