Daphne Blake

Daphne Blake is a fictional cartoon character in the Scooby-Doofranchise, and one of the five main protagonists of the franchise. She is a core member of Mystery Incorporated, a group of young people that investigate paranormal occurrences, usually uncovering crimes in the process.

Daphne debuted in the pilot episode of Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!, alongside her friends Fred Jones, Velma Dinkley, Shaggy Rogers, and Scooby-Doo. She was inspired by the character of Thalia Menninger from The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis.

Daphne is depicted as coming from a wealthy family and is noted for her beauty, fashion sense, and her knack for getting into danger, hence the nickname "Danger-Prone Daphne". Later incarnations gave the character more agency, but the core aspects of the character have persisted throughout the series, including her catchphrase "Jeepers!".
