LOL. Just discovered this character, Daria Morgendorffer (sic) from the animated sitcom "Daria".
Not exactly my cup of homebrewed decaf, but little Ms Morgendorffer does have a certain bizarre charm. Some people suspect the character is supposed to have high-functioning autism, but if so, her creators haven´t confirmed it.
Daria seems perfectly able to read everyone around her, she just doesn´t give a damn!
Some Kulturkritik guy on YouTube named Academic Agent (can´t find the video right now) rather sees her as the quintessential GenXer: snarky, cynical, pessimistic, psychologizing and something of a midwit.
The idea of trying to psychoanalyze an animated character does sound somewhat autistic in itself, but what the heck do I know...
