Profile

A cheeky, happy young mother, Delilah is quite straightforward, which also can mean honest, in which can mean blunt; sometimes she doesn't recognize how far is too far. She also happens to have a rather dirty mouth, and tends to leave a streak of caring and kindness wherever she may roam. Her 'fiery redhead' nature mixed with that much cheer can be overwhelming if you're not ready for it. Not that she cannot be serious on the other hand- Dee is an operative of the Ferrymen and has done her fair share of 'problem-solving'.

Delilah Russell Trafford began her life in Manchester, born to a small family of upper-middle class. Her mother was a simple housewife, and her father was a well-paid engineer. They lived alongside his parents, of which both were men; while at least one of her grandfathers was a man of surprising gentility, it was not public knowledge that he lived with a male partner, and had even taken a proprietary wife to discourage any rumors. The wife, however, was simply a close friend in need of support and perhaps some papers to do so. Delilah's early life was easygoing enough for a young girl, and she had a very liberal upbringing. She had been enrolled in small schools from a young age, and was the object of her parent's affections, even though her father was many times gone from the home. The more gentle of her grandfathers doted on her as well, though the older and more crusty of the two often made her earn his affection. She did, many times over.

Walter Trafford was a proud and wise man, and versed her almost constantly in self-discipline. It was this grandfather that Delilah seemed to attach herself to, for lack of a more proper father figure in her private life. In this attachment, Walter did indeed shape Delilah to be a confident and tolerant child, though she remained quite naive and innocent through the years. When she reached the age of nine, her more maternal grandfather fell ill and perished in what seemed like a rush; it was less than a week later when Walter passed away in his sleep. It was a hard time for the entire family, but together they seemed to support each other in mourning, and in confidence they moved on with the rest of their lives with the deceased as a happy influence on them. It was not until a few years later that another family tragedy struck the Traffords.

A short time before she turned twelve, there was a fire in one of the homes alongside their own; Delilah was in school at the time of the fire, and when she caught any word of it the blaze had already gutted the entire block. Both of her parents and her de-facto grandmother were caught in the incident, and very little of their home was left to sift through afterward. In the days following, she did mourn; she mourned as a regular child would, and perhaps a little as a grown woman would. Remembering her grandfathers before, she set it upon herself to not bemoan the loss, but to cherish what she had once had. While she will always miss her true family, Delilah has since known that she is not without them even in just memory.

In the week following, her closest relatives came to receive her and take her home with them; a widow aunt on her mother's side took Delilah with her to the United States after the funerals of her parents. Delilah's Aunt Marien was a kind, yet strict woman, and though she already had three children, she did her best to take in another.

It was not long after her fifteenth birthday when the city of New York met its match in the Bomb; Marien owned a brownstone in Brooklyn at the time, and by the time they were allowed back into the city, all that she could afford to house the children with was a trailer in Thomas Jefferson park. In the following and short years of reconstruction, Delilah has long done her best to stay afloat.

Delilah is able to secrete a poisonous, psychoactive, drug-like substance through her bodily fluids(sweat, saliva, blood, tears, etc.). It is much like the toxins of a psychoactive toad, though much more potent; it can be potentially lethal to humans in a high enough dosage to create a toxic overdose, though that itself varies from person to person as with many drugs. The secretion can be absorbed through contact with the fluid, as well as smoked, insufflated, or injected if taken from her. The cause of the secreting is largely as a defensive mechanism linked to her more negative emotions, but with use and practice she can most likely learn to enable or disable it, and possibly even concentrate higher dosages through specific places. As a side effect, if the ability is used continuously or too often in a short period, she can become dehydrated and fatigued.

Effects of the toxin are broad, and usually depend on the person being poisoned. Possible effects vary, and may consist of one or more of: Immersive hallucinogenic experiences, rushing sensations, radical perspective shifting, lowered inhibitions, spiritual experiences, sensual enhancement, euphoria, internal visions, radical dreams, differing time perception, an experience of "the void", lack of memory of experience, muscle jerking, twitching, abnormal vocalizations, unconsciousness or non-responsiveness, dissociation, overly-intense sensory experiences, nausea, sense of pressure in the body, hard on the lungs to smoke, difficulty integrating experiences, radical emotion shifting(intense fear, happiness, euphoria, anger, or sadness, etc), dysphoria, and though not a directly negative effect, fast onset and intensity can lead to problems if not prepared (knocking things over, falling & hitting head, etc.). Health complications can potentially arise in many body functions, but the most common are problems with the respiratory, neurological and cardiovascular systems; though those interruptions of body functions are not severe in normal dosages, an overdose can lead to something fatal if not treated accordingly. The drug itself can possibly cause physical complications to become more likely if the individual is also on other drugs at the time. The results of her power are usually different from person to person, but while no two people end up getting the exact same mental or emotional reactions, most physical reactions are similar to one another, in that they concentrate reactions within the respiratory, neurological and cardiovascular systems.

Description

A young Caucasian woman, she measures around 5'9" tall, and her weight varies around 160 pounds; she has a healthy and vibrant glow about her, which translates even better with the light-footed manner in which she often moves. Her skin is light and soft, but not pale, and is covered in a layer of orange-tinted freckles. Her hourglass-shaped figure is harbor to a more classically fit, curved beauty, with strong arms ending in delicate hands, and lengthy, shapely legs. Darker hued red hair falls past her upper back in a wavy fashion, and eyebrow-length fringe bangs sweep over her forehead. Freckles culminate on a button-nosed, strong-jawed, pink-lipped, and delightfully cheeky face, with mischievous dark brown eyes set in somewhat disarmingly sweet features. In terms of clothing, she is often seen wearing skirts, sweaters, and blouses, or whole dresses; while she prefers other things over jeans and t-shirts, she still wears them sometimes. No matter what she wears, it is often colorful, layered, patterned, or a mish-mash, and lends her an aura of frivolity. She can branch out into other types of clothing sometimes, depending on mood; in that, her general appearance can be considered rather retro most of the time. On the back of her neck is a small biohazard tattoo- magneta pink with an indigo outline; it is tattooed over her tracking mark.

Social Circle

The Gents

	♥ The main man in her life. Born November 8th, 2010. ♥

	The first time she met him, that was enough to endear her. Teo was a poor soul she found in a drunken state, and in her usual way she helped him right back to his feet with her own brand of kindess. Delilah finds him sweet and wolfish in nature, but also thoughtful enough to seem guarded; he's a polite person and rather disgruntled with the shenanigans he sees her getting into, but tries his best to be forgiving of those. To her, Teo isn't some kind of troublemaker- he only does some things that he has to do, that other people might not see as The Right Thing. Lilah and Teodoro seem to have a relationship built on protectiveness of each other and in both being such free-spirits; the two spend a lot of time together, and are quite good friends because of it. Dee trusts him to be there when she needs him- he is the one guy that she trusts the most, really. Now that he is also the father of her child, even more reason to be the best of friends.

	Delilah first met Magnes through Abby; a local pizzaboy that has accidentally the whole internet at least twice so far. When it comes to Magnes, Dee finds him sweet, awkward, and extremely facepalm-worthy at the same time, and possibly more naive than she. He's been getting better! Frankly, Magnes reminds her of a dog; he's protective in his own brash, reckless way, and wants to be a real hero when it comes down to moral duties. Dee has a few visions of what makes a true hero; and while Magnes may have good intentions, he tries much too hard sometimes. But deep down, he is a good guy, and she recognizes that and rather likes him for it. Even to the point of messing with him in the most playful of ways.

	Francois is a relative enigma to Delilah, but she knows that she can trust him with most things if she needs to; he's polite and generally kind to everyone it seems, though Samson has had some difficulty in befriending him outright. Francois must be more of a cat person. It fits him in most ways though- cats are reserved and subtle too, and Dee appreciates his degree of carefulness. She'd like to know him better, but cats are also very secretive. He and Teo have a thing going on, though by no means does she seek to get between- quite the contrary. She has a fondness for it, to some extent. It is not too far from the state of her Grandfathers and her Grandmother, this particular triangle.

	Stalker. Djinn. A mystery man that Delilah actually does not mind much. She could have worse stalkers. …Right?

	Dee had never really met Hiro before she found him(one of him?) being warded in the same hospital she was taken to for having the 510. She knew who he was and so took him under her wing while she was there. Though he was ill and in a fever state of mind, Delilah hopes that just maybe she got through somewhere and he knows that she is a friend. It was largely pity when she gravitated to him, but eventually it did turn into a certain fondness over a ward of sorts.

The Ladies

	Sable had peripherally been in Dee's life for a long time, however the two had not had much reason to meet until Magnes began really introducing her to the others in his circle. As it turns out, Sable ad long harbored a crush on a girl she met at the Lighthouse; Delilah, to be precise. Though it was quite a revelation, Delilah has taken up Sable's affections in stride. Being smitten on is not exactly new(nor is it by another girl) to Lilah, but the complexity of suddenly having a son is hard enough to wrap herself around. Not that it is impossible- just a new situation that she is willing to put her best foot forward with. She returns Sable's affection in kind on a constant basis, and has since come to rather adore Sable in return. Nobody seems to be as kind to her, or as loving with her as Sable is; not to mention that during the months after the 8th, Dee found herself wishing Sable was there. She's more than willing to see where these feelings will go.

	Both are tall, quite vivacious redheads, so perhaps there is bound to be something, at any given time- to draw them together. She thinks Elaine is cute as a button, and she seems far more down to earth than some of the other girls she knows. Dee like Elaine's company when she can get it, and tries to spend time with her, virtually anytime she happens to be nearby or simply needing another girl around. Elaine is a doll, and Delilah counts her as a very good friend.

	Quinn is one of a few girls she has met through Sable and Magnes, and so far she likes her quite a lot- not much to get in the way of them becoming friends; another musician, she seems to compliment Sable quite a lot. In fact, Dee wouldn't be surprised if there were something between them, but with Sable's various infatuations, who knows. Like many others, she greatly looks forward to time spent with Quinn.

	Dee and Abby first met when the former's ability manifested and caused a young man to go into seizures. Abby healed him and helped Dee get away, and they did not meet again for months; when Abby moved into the Village Renaissance Building, Lilah went right over with chocolate apricot cake; she did find out where she had met Abby before. The two made good neighbors while Abby was living next door, and it has long since snowballed into being very close friends. She knows that Abby has been through a lot, respects that and Abby's dealing with it, and will continue to be there if she needs another arm to link with. Abby is good people, and she has a good heart.

	Else and Deliilah became rather good friends during the flu epidemic when they both had it and were under the care of the Ferry and then the same hospital. Else is fun-loving at her core, though she can certainly be serious when it calls for it. Delilah thinks she is a great woman that has simply never had much in the way of good luck so far; her power is partially the core of her woe, to what Dee can tell about it. Though useful, it is probably just as frustrating. Else got Dee to try out guitar, and teach her a bit of it; it seems to be going well, and the two are tempered enough together to now be roomies.

	Delilah has a lot of respect for Eileen, for a great many reasons. The avian telepath doesn't seem to regard her as much more than a friendly face, but she doesn't really seem to do that for anyone all too often. Dee does hope that the care she feels for Eileen is quietly reciprocated. She is always polite and always as honest as possible with Delilah, if very firm; Eileen is a good example of maturity as Delilah sees it. Wise beyond her years, and capable enough to see something from every angle. Not to mention that maternal vengeance- that in particular, is something that she and Dee share. She treats Eileen as she may an older sister, even if Eileen chooses to keep her at arm's length for whatever reasons.

	Kaylee is a girl under care of and with the Ferrymen; Dee gets along with her rather well, and the two are a stalwart sort of pair. Delilah finds her to be the type that wants to please, and in a group such as the Ferry, those types seem to congregate over projects such as those in Summer Meadows- which was where they really got to know each other. She trusts Kaylee to a certain degree, however- the mind reading thing is just a bit out of her league.

	Delilah adores her aunt for a slew of things, the least of which is the fact that she is Dee's only living adult relative. She took Dee in even when she already had three sons, and they took care of one another all throughout the years leading up to and after the Bomb, including the several years where the Polks needed to live within the confines of Thomas Jefferson Trailer Park. Marien is a family law attorney, now with her own firm. Delilah looks up to her immensely, and trusts her utterly, as she might her mother, Marien's younger sister.

	As close to an enemy that Delilah can have at this point in her life. Joshua, Josh, Jay, or J.J.- is her cousin, A bit older than her and the eldest son of her aunt Marien. They had to live with each other for several years before both of them split from Marien's watch. Dee, on one hand, simply moved next door and began to take care of herself, staying around to basically take care of her family as well. Josh, however, had been spiraling into disorder for some time. Drugs, drinking, gangs, bigotry, anger, hate, violence, jailtime, et cetera- he is essentially the Anti-Delilah in pretty much every way, and that is saying something. Lilah has not seen J.J. since she moved from the trailer park, however he has come after her on one occasion; he and a few fellows once ran into a Ferrymen van she was driving, in an attempt to injure if not kill her in the accident. She never found out that it was him, and it was likely that he was imbibed, combined with his dislike for her. He is quite possibly one of the few people that she has ever feared and hated at the same time, even though he is probably similar to many people she meets on Staten Island; he was not an easy person to live with, nor try to reason with. JOSHUA IS ADOPTABLE. As are his brothers! Contact me if interested.

Others

	Dee doesn't know Eve terribly well, but living in the same building and on the same floor affords them some well-meaning familiarity. Maybe she has a bit of fondness for the weird lady floating around, but for the most part she simply tries to be polite and gracious with Eve in the hopes that maybe it will do her some good.

	Dee met Gillian when her power shorted out an elevator, and they were stuck for a few minutes. Those minutes gave a power-warped Gillian time to absorb Delilah's ability; she thought Gillian was really nice, and that still applies.She was there with Gillian the day after her first clone died, and after Pinehearst made sure that she got rested enough. Lilah tends to feel the need to look out for her for some reason- perhaps because Gillian has been through a lot, and does not have the faith of Abby nor the prudence of Cat. They seem to have the same friends and circle, and so the two have long become pals; looking out for someone connects Dee to them, for certain.

	There was already a measure of trust at least from Delilah towards Helena when they met. Helena is a powerful figure in both public and private, and Dee respects her for what she's done, and likely what she will end up doing in the future. They both care quite a bit for the cause, and for the people to do with it; that is worth really bonding over. They're also young women with young women thoughts- that's just one more thing they happen to click with. Helena is good people, and Delilah really adores her and enjoys the friendship there; she also has quite a lot of trust in Helena, to boot.

	One of Cat's close friends, and that is where Dee first met her. Not much is known about Liz, but she has always been very gracious to Delilah, and that is an important part of a balanced relationship.

	Delilah is never quite sure where she first met Richard; he seems to know everyone, and everyone knows him. She doesn't know too much about him either, but just like Liz, he has always been pretty nice to her in return. She knows that he deals in some sketchy things, and sometimes that sketchy things deal with him, but the same can go for everyone else. The difference is that Dee knows that most of the time, he has a peculiar insight into a lot of things; a potential go-to guy.

	Alexander is living as Abby's roommate, and is one of the pillars of what makes up Phoenix. He is good in Delilah's book, and though he seems eternally soft spoken or always introverted, she finds him to be very good company. The two are friends, though sometimes she does feel as if Alexander is just barely putting up with her shenanigans. Less so as of late, because he seems to have learned that she isn't just around for the hell of it. Over time she has gotten far more familiar with him, and though she has no idea what he thinks of her, she thinks of him as a very close friend; if she had a problem, she would certainly go to him for help. And sometimes that is what it is all about.

	A virtual mini geek, Dee sort of just stumbled upon him one day, and eventually he got a place in her good book. He is awkward and the general sixteen year old, but everyone was like that once. Perhaps she sees him as someone simply interesting enough to have some very big potential; potential that he does not seem to have quite realized as of yet. He's a real sweetheart, when he isn't beet red or getting affronted about his level of manliness.

	Rickham used to be a shadowy figure- a man that she knew was living on the safehouse floor, though she did not speak much with him until the two were left behind after a Humanis First attack on a Ferrymen facility. Ever since that trip back to safety with him, Allen is far less mysterious and almost feels like one of the few father figures that Delilah could say that she has around. A very gentle man with a powerful ability and a fierceness that can come out if it needs to; not quite the whole Jekyll and Hyde deal, but vaguely like it in that when he is in Iron form, Rickham tends to be less …subtle.

	The Hawaiian gone New Yorker has a special place with Delilah; he helped her out of a wrecked van when he was the victim of a literal hit and run. He was there when someone else should have been. He later came by the Rock Cellar to return her bag, having found a receipt inside; the digging in a woman's bag can be totally forgiven. Dee got to see him(and those eyes) again, so it turned out well-intended enough. She's hoping to see more of him around, and perhaps make a better pal out of him while doing so. Kase seems like a nice guy- not to the obnoxious level of nice, but just well-mannered and generally laid-back.

Kase seems like a nice guy- not to the obnoxious level of nice, but just well-mannered and generally laid-back.

	Melissa is part(?) of the Ferry and someone that Delilah feels that she can trust implicitly even at such an early stage; she knows Helena and Alexander, and has otherwise proven herself as a good woman. She has so far been very kind to Dee, and she finds Melissa to be very much like her at the core. Honest, tough, yet caring enough to be associated with a group like the Ferrymen(if even for such a minor time).

	A Teo from the ~Future~, apparently. She didn't see what all the hubbub is about- sure, it is weird, and it is somewhat selfish, but it was still Teo, right? Older. Perhaps not much wiser. But still Teo. Not to say that she liked him right of the bat, but Delilah was willing to give the virtual stranger the benefit of the doubt, and be a neutral party to his presence as long as he brought the real Teo back to them. He kept the promise, sort of. AS for that future he came from, she's aware that she opened a tavern in his world; the Dancing Boar, named after a similar place near her childhood home, which burned when the fires razed her block.

	The first time they encountered each other was a long way back, when Dee's ability first manifested. Months upon months later, she met him staying in Cat's safehouse. He then accidentally the whole robbery at gunpoint and it ended up in a fist fight, one huge loogie, Flint side-first in a puddle- and Lilah victorious. Followed up weeks later by a scuffle, and Dee ending up with a broken wrist. Everyone else seems to put up with him, and Delilah seems to somehow be following in those footsteps. She has made fudge for him, so maybe she is over it.

	A kind of standoffish little speedster that she met at length when the Ferry quarantined them together. Dee likes Daphne quite a bit, she just is not too sure that it is a mutual fondness.

	Brian was a bit of a douchebag at the start in Delilah's eyes; he made some innocent insinuations that she actually did not like. Despite that first impression, they are now rather good friends, and Dee has gotten used to him being around and regularly sees him as a nice guy. He sometimes seems to show concern for her more and more. She thinks of him somewhat as a brother figure now, in parallel to his view of her, and she tries to make regular visits to him and his troop of kids at the Lighthouse.

	One of Helena's close friends and a regenerator. Dee hasn't had much of a chance to meet her apart from the few times she has gone to that apartment and a few other times. Claire seems really nice regardless, and probably worth knowing better. They were better friends because of Magnes, but Claire has since drifted again.

	She accidentally him in the Nite Owl Diner; his partner came to get him while he was tripping and having a bad reaction to the drug. She will not soon forget him, because even after that he did not turn her in, and so far he still has not. There is a hidden measure of trust with him, even in the vein of being strangers. She knows he is with the law, so perhaps if she ever needs a connection, she can find him again in peace.

	The original Pastor McHotty(nobody tell him that). Delilah has been to his church a few times, and one particular time in order to help clean anti-Evolved graffiti from the side of the building. Labrador! Awes.
