- "Always stretch out before you chase a criminal."
- "Defender of justice! Vanquisher of evil! Champion of love! Inspector Daria is here!"
Inspector Daria (ダリア警部) is a red-headed inspector from Touch Detective 2 ½ who has no patience for Mackenzie. She tries to solve cases before Mackenzie can when The Cornstalker is involved. She is the self-proclaimed rival of The Cornstalker, and is jealous when he considers Mackenzie his rival. She often sprains her back or foot while making her extravagant entrance poses. She gets motion sickness when travelling. She always misses the chance of capturing the Cornstalker because of her sprains, her distractions or being easily fooled by his disguises.
"She's built herself a career by chasing the Cornstalker. What will she do if she catches him?" Mackenzie's description of Daria.
Her hair is the 3rd element in Mackenzie's second Touch List: "It's really dry and full of split ends. I think she dyes it! Tee-hee!".
