Although she is much more comfortable in outfits that allow her to be as active as she can, with a hint of flare towards accenting the agile form she isn't afraid to show off. Lush curls often frame her delicate yet fierce features as she makes it a point to give those she speaks to her full undivided attention, the flame of her passionate innocence and drive to learn seen within soft chestnut eyes that are just as expressive as her overall demeanor.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>Feisty| Awkward | Blunt| Passionate| Fiercely loyal| Inquisitive | Refuses to back down| Naive innocence (for most things)<br/><br/><strong>Biography:</strong>Even from a young age Delilah knew her home life wasn't exactly the rosey sort of white picket fence imagery that a lot of other children would describe; but it wasn't<em>all</em>that awful, far from it actually. The only child to a pair of self proclaimed explorers and humanitarians, Delilah spent a majority of her life being brought along to witness far and once unknown reaches of the world as well as all the different civilizations that accompanied their adventures. From the mountain villages speckled through Peru to the vast unyielding jungles of the Amazon, the culture shock of so many different tribes and customs became a fascinating subject that Delilah prided herself in being a part of. Not only did it allow the young family submerge into so many different facets of the world in which was only thought possible in fantasy but the group as a whole helped with educating much poorer villages in the ways of the States such as medicine and other less thought about ailments to make the life expectancy that much greater.<br/><br/>Not everyone however agreed with Delilah's way of approaching once unknown tribes within the world, a huge backlash of exposing their own young child to potential perils earning an investigation or two, but it wasn't as though it stuck considering the Desponzas hardly stayed in one area long enough; so of course Delilah hardly thought of the danger.Living off the grid made simple pleasures such as warm comfy beds and more put together meals than those hunted,skinned and then roasted a luxury that even now Delilah has difficulty in adjusting to, having been brought up with survival instincts and skills a majority of her life a subject that had worried those who eventually would take claim of the now teenager after her 15th birthday. As fate would have it the Desponzas risked their lives in helping those they came across and paid dearly for their charity, as deep within the unknown lands of New Guinea a recent break out of Cholera claimed the life of Delilah's father first. The humanitarian group held together even without the leadership of the man although his passing had left a deep impact on them as a whole, her mother soon succumbing along with a number of the others in both the group and village until their numbers were brought down to a few; along with a young Delilah who would never truly recover from the loss.<br/><br/>By the time the United Embassy had come to the aide of the humanitarian group those left had little idea what to do with a teenager who's parents had perished in the jungle, with little connection to family back within the states much less any real idea of whom to contact, Delilah would find herself whisked back to a country that she had no connection to and put into the foster system. With such wild stories of hunts and other customs that she had been exposed to on her adventures Delilah hardly made it easy for any looking to adopt her, not to mention the insistent need to break out of the foster homes and go exploring on her own without a single thought.Many who tried to foster the runaway either grew tired or simply did not wish to try and calm the fiery spirit, as even when she did manage to stay in one area for long (which usually meant a week or so) Delilah's proud need to advocate the mistreat of others and more unjustified scenes made it difficult to keep her from screaming protests that often landed her quite a few stints in jail.<br/><br/>So it wasn't unexpected that Delilah would find herself aged out of the foster system and out on the streets on her 18th birthday, although she still isn't quite sure if January 2nd is<em>actually</em>it, but never the less the now young adult went about her life in the only way she knew how. Exploring the far reaches of the States meant that Delilah could see that even the United states were not immune to such things as poverty and racism, couch surfing and picking up what small jobs to keep her fed, while her evenings were spent collecting the voices of those oppressed and gaining speed while doing so. Her first true protest came with the disgrace that was an entire city who's water supply was known to be undrinkable and toxic, Delilah standing proud with scores of others to fight for justice and with the ease of technology made the once feeble cry that much stronger; as well as got the attention of an older woman who could see the fiery spirit within the homeless young woman. Sandra Harrison had always been a giving soul and like many others, grew inspired by Delilah's passion for those less fortunate, the elder taking a shinning to Del and it wasn't long until Delilah was shown some real affection and care.<br/><br/>The two years spent with Sandra helped culminate Delilah into a person who could actually have a bright future, structure seemingly unteachable to the wild child, but with the woman's help Del not only had a roof over her head and a warm place to sleep, but was given help to get her GED that would allow her to attend college and actually become what she always wanted to be. Sandra had been a widow for some time and with such a large heart felt she could not stand by and let Delilah become lost within the world, helping to install the means of becoming a true advocate of justice as it wasn't long until a mysterious letter arrived did the chance to do that become that much more real. With a heavy heart Delilah would leave Sandra to attend Dellban University to not only make a name for herself, but to show the gratitude of the old woman who helped hone in her skills, as well as repay the love and nurture that she was given.After all attending a highly privileged school like Dellban, all the way in Scotland mind you, was a chance of a lifetime, so Delilah had no hesitation in making her mentor proud.<br/><strong>Fairy Tale:</strong>Legend of Tarzan (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarzan_(1999_film))<br/><strong>Special Talent/Gift/Trait:</strong>Delilah has an uncanny way of seeing things, having grown up in the jungle, as proper ways of acting don't come as easy. She is much more comfortable high up in the treetops and using her agility and strength to quite literally leap from one branch to another with ease.
