<strong>Name</strong>: Delphine (Della) DuBois<br/><strong>Affiliations</strong>: Vampire, Invictus<br/><strong>Title/Office</strong>: None<br/><strong>Gender</strong>: biologically female<br/><strong>Ethnicity</strong>: Mixture~German, Black, French<br/><strong>Height</strong>: 5' 3"<br/><strong>Weight</strong>: 120 lbs.<br/><strong>Eye Color</strong>: Gray<br/><strong>Apparent Age</strong>: 27 (actual age is 68)<br/><br/><strong>Physical Description</strong><br/><br/>Delphine is a short, stacked woman who's flawless cafe au lait skin helps to hide the fact of her vampire status. Wide gray eyes, short chocolate curls and a full smiling mouth add an air of innocence, thus negating any actual fear she might cause in anyone (un)lucky enough to stumble across her. She tends to dress in loose fitting, flowy gowns or very well cut business suits and she prefers muted colors and tones.<br/><br/><strong>Personality</strong><br/><br/>Delphine is semi reclusive and fairly standoffish with those she does not know. She tends to judge quickly and thoroughly and only a miracle will tempt her to change her mind, once she has an opinion. She is fiercely loyal to her Prince though her loyalty is not bandied about. She has VERY few friends and prefers it that way as she doesn't want people to be interested in her. Since she is fairly solitary, she spends a lot of time reading and collecting gossip from those she remains in contact with. Be warned~Delphine is exceedingly wrathful and apt to snap at the slightest offense. This wrath is not so much bout her, either. It is tied to the way she perceives the few friends she has and the way she relates to those in power. To denigrate her in front of the Prince or to disrespect her friends is to invite pain.<br/><br/>She also has a fairly mystical bent and can be quite playful with those she cares for.  All of these things combined  make her hard to read as her demeanor can change instantaneously.<br/><br/><strong>History in Atro City</strong><br/><br/>Her family lived here. She was born here, grew up here and left when she was 18 to see the world. At some point during her travels she was attacked by a lone male. She killed him. Long years were spent learning about what she was, what she had become. When her family passed over, into forever? She returned (as her own daughter) and laid claim to the family estate. There isn't much money BUT she does now have her own space away from the gossip and fear mongering of court.<br/><br/>She has not been part of the power base for nearly as long as some of the others, only  a decade or so, but she has worked hard for the small niche she occpies and would kill to protect what she considers to be just as much hers as the Prince's.<br/><br/><strong>Skills</strong><br/><br/>Delphine loves finding out secrets, gathering up information and storing it away for later perusal. She is NOT a fan of computers though and spends hours tangling the webs that will bring her the information she seeks. On top of that, she is a very keen judge of motive. Those two things make her an excellent judge of character. She tends to lurk in quiet, dark places and has been known to sit for hours, studying the precise fall of moonlight through stained glass windows.
