Jodie Landon

Jodie Abigail Landon, better known plainly as Jodie Landon, is a cartoon character in the MTV television show, "Daria". Landon dates football player Michael McKienze. She first appeared on a chapter named "The Invitation".

Landon lives in the ficticious town of Lawndale. She is an intellectual girl, and she is bound for an important university; however, she is the kind of teenager who feels pressure from her parents to do well in school.

An African American, Landon is one of a few Black students that can be seen at "Daria"s new school. Unlike many teenaged female Black television characters (both cartoon and real actor characters), Landon is not a member of a group of popular girls, she is a rather lonely girl who mantains a casual friendship both with Daria and with Daria's best friend, Jane. Landon sometimes looks for Daria to ask her a question or an opinion on something.

The president of various school clubs, Landon sees herself as a future leader of the American Black society. Being one of the few Black students in her school inspires her to be aware of Black issues.
