Daphne, who comes from a wealthy family (her father was the creator of "Blake's Bubbles"), is noted for her red hair, her fashion sense, her catch phrase ("jeepers!"), and her tendency to get into danger, hence earning from Fred the nickname "Danger-Prone Daphne."
Together with her other teenage cohorts, Fred "Freddie" Jones, Norville "Shaggy" Rogers, Velma Dinkley, and Shaggy's pet Great Dane Scooby-Doo, Daphne would engage in solving various mysteries the gang would run across.
While not as smart as Velma, Daphne would attempt to solve her problems in a fashionable way. Daphne became more confident and started playing a more active role as time wore on, possibly as a result of changing attitudes towards women during the 1960s and 1970s.
Daphne gained more prominence in the mid-1980s Scooby-Doo spinoffs, when the focus of the series briefly shifted to her, Scooby-Doo, Scrappy-Doo, and Shaggy. This was particularly noteworthy in the spinoff The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo.
Allegedly, her father helped pay for the van the gang drives around in, the psychedelically painted "Mystery Machine."
Daphne's relatives include her parents George & Elizabeth, uncles Matt and Maxwell, an aunt Olivia, and cousins Jennifer, Dannika and Shannon and Blake butler Jenkins.
Daphne Blake has been voiced by Stefanianna Christopherson, Heather North, Mary Kay Bergman, Kellie Martin (young Daphne) and Grey DeLisle. On the big screen, Daphne was portrayed by Sarah Michelle Gellar.
