Relationships
Allstar and Tooter
Daffney has known Allstar and Tooter since they were children. While there have been times when she "appears" to be romantic with each of them, that's not the case. In fact, she was still all about Dimmy when she kissed Tooter on the cheek (Vandal Scandal).
Jojo
Daffney and Jojo are good friends. At one point, she may have shown signs of affection for him when they went to the Debutante Ball together after Dimmy rejected her (Me JoJo, You Daffney).
Dimmy
See Dimmy and Daffney's Relationship for further information.
Junior
Daffney and Junior are generally frenemies. When Dimmy left the show, she appeared to have a little crush on him, despite being grossed out when he kissed her on the cheek (The Day They Fixed Junior Wetworth).
Casey
Her and Casey have been best friends since childhood. They do almost everything together, whether it'd be shopping or joining their friends on their many adventures. One time, they got into a feud over going to a hockey game versus a rodeo, and almost ended their friendship because of it. Soon enough, they reconciled their differences (Water Friends For?).
