Mrs. Johansen is a morbidly obese resident of Lawndale.
Background[]
Mrs. Johansen is a morbidly obese resident of Lawndale, usually shown in a muumuu and struggling to breathe. In her first appearance she was said to have hypoglycemia and in her last, "Mart of Darkness", she mentioned having a seizure "a while back."
She first appeared in "Cafe Disaffecto," when Daria and Jane had to sell candy bars door-to-door. Johannsen attempted to buy the whole lot, saying it'd be okay with her doctor as long as he never finds out. In the midst of the attempted sale, Mrs. Johannsen suffered a hypoglycemic attack (having just run up the stairs to get there) and fainted; Jane's response to this possible death was to take a photo. When Johannsen got up, the girls refused to sell even at $5.00 a bar and so she complained to the school. Angela Li tried to figure out an excuse so they could kill a woman for money ("How do you know it wasn't for her family?").
In "That Was Then, This Is Dumb," she was a shopper at the flea mart.
When the Fashion Club tried to collect door-to-door fashion donations in "The Old and the Beautiful," the very sight of Johannsen caused them to flee.
In "Psycho Therapy," she was a psychiatric patient at Quiet Ivy, muttering to Dr. Millepieds that she uses food for comfort "at least a chocolate bar never told me I was an accident".
In her final appearance, "Mart of Darkness," she fought a running battle with Mr. DeMartino for free snack samples at Pay Day. The two of them got banned from the free samples table for their gluttony and conflicting, causing her to threaten DeMartino with vengeance.
