Daria's hat is so ridiculous and fun and HER! :D The other thing that I realized when drawing this storyline is that her "human-looking" character design looked way too boring without something strange to spice it up. Daria's an exuberant person, and whatever species she looks like, her character design should reflect that. So I'm happy I came up with the idea of her wearing a hat -- hats are just so much more flamboyant than jewelry, or even most articles of clothing.
