*Daphne is one of the protagonists in the Velma TV series.

On the surface, Daphne seems like someone who has the perfect life, as she is one of the most popular students of Crystal Cove High School, has a boyfriend most girls consider a "heart throb" and is voted as one of the hottest students of the school. However, unbeknowst to most, she is actually insecure about herself due to not knowing who her birth parents are, despite her loving relationship with her adoptive parents. As a result, Daphne deals drugs called "zoinks" and "jinkies" so she can raise enough money to hire a private investigator and find out who her biological parents are, amongst other forms of petty theft such as stealing wallets.

Daphne was raised to avoid danger by her police officer parents, which she feels is restrictive, and as a result will put herself in dangerous situations just for the thrill of it. She approaches danger with no caution and is overconfident in dire situations. Daphne is also prone to resorting to violence and will happily do so to her friends and weaker students if it gets her what she wants. She also abuses her parents' power as cops, such as revealing confidential information like Velma being the prime suspect in Brendas murder to the public during Brendas funeral.*
