Daphne, who comes from a wealthy family, 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."
