, Daphne would engage in solving various mysteries. Daphne was portrayed as the enthusiastic, but clumsy and danger-prone (hence her nickname "Danger-Prone Daphne" revealed by her cousin, Shannon, being danger-prone is a Blake family trait in '' Scooby-Doo! and the Loch Ness Monster'') member of the gang, who always follows her intuition. She serves as the damsel in distress and would occasionally get kidnapped, tied up, and left imprisoned. Scooby and Shaggy usually save her, but sometimes Fred and Velma or even the whole gang do it. But as the franchise went on, she became a stronger, more independent character, who can take care of herself. Daphne's character is the most developed in the starring cast, going from a klutzy teenager to a successful journalist to an ingenuous fashionista to a black belt martial artist. Daphne is also seen as the moral support in adaptations such as '' Mystery Incorporated''. When Scooby is nowhere to be found, Daphne also shouts "Scooby-Doo! Where are you?!". She occasionally helps the rest of the gang capture the villain by using some random, yet helpful, accessories she has at the moment. For example, in one episode, the gang is tied to posts by ropes, so Daphne pulls out her credit card and slices the ropes in half, leaving her free to untie the other members of the gang. During the series' fourth incarnation, '' Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo'', some of the episodes focused on Daphne. In the episode "Shiver and Shake, That Demon's a Snake", Daphne buys an idol that is cursed by the snake demon. On the sailboat, the snake demon attacks Daphne and demands an idol to return.

Secondary characters introduced in ''The Scooby-Doo Show''/''Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo''


Scrappy-Doo

Scrappy-Doo is Scooby-Doo's feisty nephew. He was added to the cast of ''Scooby-Doo'' to save the franchise's low ratings, which threatened to cause its cancellation. After his addition to the show proved to be a ratings success, Hanna-Barbera restructured the show around Scrappy in 1980. The original format of four teenagers and their dog(s) solving supernatural mysteries for a half-hour was eschewed for simpler, more comedic adventures which involved real supernatural villains (the villains in previous ''Scooby'' episodes were almost always regular humans in disguise). Scrappy remained an integral part of the ''Scooby-Doo'' franchise, on both television and in ''Scooby''-related licensed products and merchandising, through the end of the 1980s. He was also briefly the star of his own seven-minute shorts — the ''Scrappy and Yabba Doo'' segments of '' The Scooby & Scrappy-Doo/Puppy Hour''. Teamed with his uncle Yabba-Doo and Deputy Dusty, he helped maintain law and order in a small town in the American west. In later years, the presence of Scrappy-Doo has been criticized as having had a negative effect on the various ''Scooby-Doo'' series of the 1980s. However, the gradual decline of ''Scooby-Doo'' has been credited to other factors as well, such as changes in format. Scrappy-Doo has become the symbol of an irritatingly overexuberant or cute character added to a series in an attempt to maintain ratings, a phenomenon also known as Cousin Oliver Syndrome. Due to the general perception of the character by audiences, Scrappy-Doo has rarely appeared in modern media. He appears as an antagonist in ''
