A Goodreads user asked Gail Carson Levine:

While flipping through my copy of The Two Princesses of Bamarre, I noticed the dead queen's name, Daria... and also that it sounded familiar. Upon further inspection, I found it WAS familiar: Char's mother in Ella Enchanted is also named Daria. I was just wondering, are there any connections or do you just like the name? My little sister said to tell you that she absolutely LOVES you.

Sadie Joy asked Gail Carson Levine:

Hello. I was wondering how to pronounce Char's shortened name in Ella Enchanted. Is it the "sh" sound, as in the French word "Charmont"? Thank you! :-)
