Daphne Blake is a member of Mystery Incorporated in the Scooby-Doo animated franchise. Her voice was originated by Stefanianna Christopherson, which was only a brief stint and is more fondly remembered by her replacement, Heather North.

Throughout the years, Hanna-Barbera, Cartoon Network, and Warner Bros. Animation, as well as book and video game publishers, have conceived several incarnations, which don't always fit together because new writers have come on board and disregarded what has come before or there has been a complete reboot, but the general concept has been the same, perhaps except for DC Comics' radically altered Scooby Apocalypse.

Character description

Daphne is a fair-skinned teen with a hourglass physique, reddish-pink lipstick and long red hair. She has worn various outfits over the years, but her usual outfit consists of a purple top with mini-dress; pink pantyhose; mauve heel shoes with bows on top; a green-lime scarf; and a mauve headband. The hems and cuffs on her dress are mauve in color.

In The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo, she wore purple one-piece overalls, a belt and pixie boots. She lacked a headband in this series. Sometimes, she also wears either a long sleeved mauve top with a rolled collar, matching mauve pants and legwarmers with a purple puffer vest and matching high heels, a long sleeved purple dress with two lilac belts, hoops at each shoulder and lilac boots or a purple coat over a short sleeved lilac dress with a purple belt and purple high heels as well.

As a child in A Pup Named Scooby-Doo, Daphne has a pink sweatshirt with a red skirt, pink pantyhose and white go-go boots. Her hair was shorter in length around this period, and headband was white.

In What's New, Scooby-Doo?, she wore a short long-sleeved purple dress with a wraparound top. Her outfit also includes pink pantyhose, a mauve headband, and platform shoes.

Though not as smart as Velma, Daphne finds a way to solve problems at her own hand. Initially in Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!, she always had the tenacity to get into danger, hence her nickname "Danger-Prone Daphne". That part of her personality has since been lessened overtime, as in later installments, she had gained a more active role and learnt how to do self defense.

Daphne sells out

Daphne is in the first State Farm commercial.

In the Teen Titans Go! episode "Cartoon Feud," Daphne and her friends are forced to compete against the Teen Titans in Family Feud.

In the Warner Bros. Serververse in Space Jam: A New Legacy, the gang (based on their SCOOB! designs), arrive at the basketball game between the Tune Squad and the Goon Squad in the Mystery Machine, then watch from outside the van. Mystery Inc., like all the other IPs, has no particular preference and just reacts to whatever is happening.

Behind the scenes

  • Daphne shares the same outfit and has similarly long hair as Kitty Jo, an anthropomorphic cat, on The Cattanooga Cats, which debuted the same year as Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! in 1969.

In popular culture

  • In Disney's Doug episode "Doug's Bloody Buddy," the teaser depicts a fantasy in which Doug and his friends are like Mystery Inc. searching for the Bluffington Vampire. Beebe is the counterpart to Daphne.
  • In the Timon and Pumbaa episode "Werehog of London," a fortune teller warns Timon and Pumbaa that no one is safe of the curse of the werehog, not even "those meddling teens and their pesky dog," and then the camera reveals an orange and blue van resembling the Mystery Machine that has been abandoned after it was knocked into a lampost.
  • In the Teen Titans Go! episode "Costume Contest," Robin does a drawing of Teen Titans as Mystery Inc., with Starfire as Daphne.
  • On the second episode of The X-Factor: Celebrity, Nicole Scherzinger referred to the contestant Jenny Ryan as starting out as Daphne to becoming a full-blown diva. This is a somewhat confusing critique, as Ryan does have red hair like Daphne, but also wears glasses like Velma, who Scherzinger presumably meant.
