Daphne’s character has evolved over the years but has maintained her colorful pink-and-purple style. Initially the group’s damsel in distress, Daphne grew into a more independent character that could fend for herself. Stefanianna Christopherson voiced Daphne in the original, from 1969 to 1970. Heather North took over the role for 27 years, becoming one of Daphne’s most familiar voices. The late Mary Kay Bergman, who died in 1999, played Daphne in four animated movies released between 1998 and 2000.

Since 2001, Grey DeLisle has voiced Daphne in new additions to the franchise, including 31 direct-to-video films, four animated series and three video games.
