**Daria** was a Petrova doppelgänger whom was close friends with Niklaus and Rebekah Mikaelson in the late 10th century/early 11th century. She is the first-known doppelgänger to be created from Ismene's line after her earliest known ancestor was turned into a true immortal in the 1st century BC. Niklaus and Rebekah's mother Esther had used Daria's sister, Tatia's blood to turn the Mikaelsons into the world first vampires, which eventually led to Tatia's death by the newly-turned Elijah's hand. After Tatia's death, her blood was used in the spell that bound Niklaus' werewolf heritage,

**Daria** was a member of the **Petrova Family**.

## Trivia

* In *Bringing Out The Dead*, Elijah Mikaelson mentioned that they met Tatia and Daria after they moved to the New World. That indicated that they was born in the New World.
	+ Daria, Tatia, Clara, and Elena are the only known Petrova doppelgängers to be born in the New World. Their progenitors, Ismene and Amara, was born in the Old World (presumably Greece) as well as Adyelya and Katerina Petrova, who were born in Bulgaria.
	+ She celebrated Samhain, a Celtic festival and the early origins of Halloween, which suggests that she was of Celtic descent and had immersed herself in the Viking culture upon her sister marrying an unnamed Viking.
* She is the fourth character as well as the fourth doppelgänger that Lily Collins played in the series.
* With The Other Side's collapse and Hell being destroyed, she either found peace or went to a dimension similar to Hell.
* Daria and Clara Gilbert share some similarities.
	+ Both have been residents of what is now Mystic Falls.
	+ Daria is the first doppelgänger of Ismene, while Clara is the last.
* Daria and Tatia is the only known doppelgängers in the series to not make a modern day appearance.
* Since her doppelgängers Adyelya and Clara are both born in the month of June, it could be assumed that Daria is also born in the same month as them.
