Tom Sloane (voiced by Russell Hankin)
Tom first appears during Season Three as Jane's boyfriend, but later becomes Daria's boyfriend. Tom is a rich teenager who belongs to one of Lawndale's richest families, but this is neither apparent from his appearance, nor by the car he drives. He disapproves of their condescending elitism and attempts to avoid being associated with them.
Polite, intelligent, and surprisingly mature for his age, Tom's continued as Daria's boyfriend throughout the final season, after the relationship with Jane ended. He has a casual, easy-going personality, and is unconcerned with most situations. Tom shows decency and ethics on a number of occasions (helping out strangers, and trying to repair a broken friendship) but has also shown a mild arrogance and a habit of assuming people think the same way as him. He is often surprised when this irritates people.
Daria summarised him as being "a good guy. A little spoiled, a hair smug, a trifle egotistical, but a smart, funny guy who's basically very caring and sensitive in the not-pukey way".
Tom has certain characteristics in common with Daria: he is intelligent, well-read, and cynical, and he is not afraid to show it. He also shares an interest in older and more artistic films, such as Federico Fellin, the works of Luis Buñuel, and The Third Man.
However, unlike Daria (but more like Jane), he is open and friendly to new experiences and people. Tom is quite adaptable to new situations, able to quickly work out solutions to problems, and to social groups. In both cases, this can be faster than others might find comfortable.
