• Personality: The one word that could sum up Delilah in one word is restrained. She's careful not to overstep, she's gentle and afraid of hurting others and their feelings. They're timid and are hesitant to reach out to help or to meet new people - a flawless role model for docile villagers! Del can come off as emotionless, aloof and cold as they're not the best when it comes to expressing emotions. They also prefer to focus on themselves and her future, even if that future doesn't hold many big goals. Delilah is a great listener and tries her best to be understanding of others' views and actions. But those closest to her would say she seems conflicted all the time. Being a prey-predator hybrid, her instincts are all over the place which sometimes leads to unwanted bursts of rage where they are more cold and snappy than usual. She promises she's working on this problem [it's hard to control her nature!].
• HISTORY •
• Childhood:
° Born in a family of sheep, goats, alpacas and other similiar species, Delilah's childhood wasn't the easiest one. Her mother was cursed by a black witch to have her third child be what ultimately causes the village's downfall. The family kept it a secret, fearing their peers' reactions. Turns out, the curse also turned little Del into a wolf, and news spread like a wildfire - a predator born in a quiet country village, where such villagers are not allowed to live? Scandalous!
° The residents let the sheep keep their little wolf as long as they promised to keep a close eye on her. Being a wolf around so many herbivores was an experience Delilah will never forget. Some kids were afraid of her attacking them [because all wolves are bad, parents and books said so!] and avoided her like the plague, some kids were fascinated with her, some befriended her and were feared along with her - because what if they "unleashed the beast upon them"? Not that their empty threats helped ["give me a candy, or i'll call Del!"].
° She was a lot closer with her siblings, who lived with her for years and got to meet her true self. She wasn't so scary like everyone made it to be. Her mere presence could prevent others from bullying her siblings, but for older ones, while they loved her, it was a subject to avoid when chatting with unaware friends.
° Her family gifted her a sheep-themed poncho-hoodie that's made of wool to blend in with the other kids.
° She was a picky eater and got sick pretty often, which after a while her family figured out to be the cause of a poor diet. She needed meat and protein to grow healthily, the current vegetarian diet just wasn't doing it. Her family made sure to order meat, but Del noticed it resulted in weird, uncomfortable glances. She wasn't too suprised, but it stuck with her for years to come.
° When she was seven and sitting on a swing, all alone at a playground in the evening, a stranger claiming to be her aunt approached her and gave her an innocent gift - a necklace! She thanked them, and put it on, unaware that it was a witch amulet and the stranger was the same person who cursed her mother. When she came home her family was unsure what to do - a child with magical powers surely spelled trouble. But when Del discovered the power to shapeshift, things changed.
° She could change into a sheep and finally blend in with others. Other kids were a lot more accepting of sheep-her than wolf-her, although they still knew behind the magical powers she was a wolf. Del was a lot happier, but the constant usage of magic at a young age was exhausting.
• Teen-Adult:
° Del's teenage years are a conflicting period for her. On one hand, the majority of town folks simply got used to her presence - elders started inviting her to hang out with them as other younglings were uninterested, and peers' fascination with her nature stopped as they became absorbed in schoolwork, social media and relationships. On the other hand, bullies got more creative and had more freedom. There's only so much a single person can take before snapping.
° When Delilah turned 18, she moved out of her town and travelled around for a few years. Perhaps it were the uncomfortable glances cast when they thought she wasn't looking. Perhaps it was the search for knowledge and a mentor to teach her how to control her powers. Perhaps it was the yearn to experience the wonders of the world for herself. Perhaps it was the uncomfortable collar around her neck. She learned a lot since then, and had temporary witch-mentors in towns she stayed at for longer periods of time.
° She still keeps in touch with her family and some friends.
• Now:
° Lilypad is another stop on their journey, but whether it's the last and permament one is not yet known.
• RELATIONSHIPS •
• ??? [NPC]: Mother
° Del loves her mother, although she wishes her mom was more truthful to her. It took her years to explain that she was cursed by a witch and that's why Del is a wolf, but not much more than that - why did the witch curse her mom or give her the amulet, Del doesn't know.
• ??? [NPC]: Father
° Their father was sceptical about raising a wolf pup and preferred avoiding Del "for her own good". She wishes he tried more.
• Auntie May [NPC]: Aunt
° May was always there for Delilah, and is the most supportive family member by far. She was there, arguing against giving her up. She was there for Del when she was being bullied. She chewed out her family for not realizing she needs a special diet. Del thinks they can really trust her.
• Poffin [NPC]: Oldest sister
° Poffin was little Del's role model, and she taught her a lot of things. Braiding hair, her fashion sense, being encouraged to practice magic - it was all her doing. Since she moved out they don't keep in touch as much.
• Harley [NPC]: Older sister
° Del and Harley aren't the closest, and Del has a feeling Harley thinks their parents shifted their focus onto Del [and, later, little siblings] after she was born. She can't really blame her, though.
• Temtem [NPC]: Younger brother
° They have the most rocky relationship out of all siblings. He wasn't sure what to think about having a wolf sister, which lead to lots of fights and rude comments between each other. These days they're not very close, as Del thinks he went too far one time and vice versa.
• Milo [NPC]: Youngest brother
° Milo was scared of his big sister at first, but he warmed up eventually. He and Del are alike - not very social, not up for idle chit-chat. They loved to spend hours on summer walks, simply enjoying each other's company in silence. He also needed her help with homework the most.
• Bo [NPC]: Youngest sister
° Her little sister, who was never afraid of her and thinks her fur is very fluffy. Del and Bo have a strong bond and love spending time together - from play-fighting to singing [Bo asked Del to teach her how to howl. They didn't have the heart to refuse]. Furball's scared of little Bo and her doll wardrobe. He does not enjoy being dressed up.
• ??? [NPC]: Black witch
° Although they are responsible for all her troubles, Delilah did get a witch amulet from them which helped her a great deal. She's not sure what to think, but one thing's for sure: she doesn't have the full story.
• NOTES •
• Trivia:
° After gaining their witch powers, her family found Furball looking through their trash. No matter how much they tried to get rid of him, he always came back.
° Thinks villagers wearing collars is a bit disrespectful of themselves

° Not the best at cooking
• Design Notes:

° Messy, thick, long hair with white streaks. Often braided
° Big hands with sharp, hoof-like fingers. No paw pads
• POWERS •
• Shapeshifting: Del can shapeshift into any creature she'd like, but they're quite inexperienced. While a wolf form is their default appearance, she has learned to shapeshift into sheep and mixed forms, which take up her energy to maintain longterm. After hours or days of usage, she has to revert into her wolf form to regain energy.
• Longer Lifespan: Being a witch, she has a much longer expected lifespan than standard villagers.
• Air & Electricity Manipulation: Del can manipulate these elements a bit, such as making a somewhat powerful gust of wind, but she's not very good at it.
• Shadow Creation & Manipulation: She can create and manipulate shadows, for example to scare others. She's actively learning this element and wants to materialize shadows.
• Casting Curses: As a black witch, they can curse others - bad luck, nightmares, causing them to trip and so on. It's her most uncontrolable ability, and sometimes she may curse someone accidentally in a fit of rage.

To be expanded... [Starter: Poncho, Zip-Up Hoodie; Purchased: Here + Here ]
• PERMISSIONS •
• Roleplay: I don't usually roleplay. When I do, I exclusively do emote roleplay.
• Plot: My preferred method of plotting is drawing art pieces showing what's happening, sometimes with a bit of a description or a short story to go along with. It doesn't have to be necessarily pre-planned, if you'd like to draw/write your villager asking to be friends with mine, go ahead and I'll draw a response in my free time.
• Special Permissions: Please ask me before creating villagers born in her home village that are connected to her family/story [aunts, uncles, grandparents, distant family, cousins].
• Gifts & Minor Cameos: Feel free to include my villager as a cameo in your art/writing! You can use the guidelines below to see how they'd react to certain scenarios, or you can ask me. Make sure to tag me!
• Friendship & Crushes: If you'd like your villager and mine to become friends or have your villager have a short, unrequited crush on mine, feel free to do so! Just keep their personality in mind and make it natural - they wouldn't become friends from interacting once. Please avoid showing them hugging, holding hands or flirting without permission. If you'd like for their friendship to be stronger or make them roommates/partners, please message and talk to me first.
• PORTRAYAL •
• Basics:
° Fidgets and plays with hair when awkward or idle
° Smiles widely to show she means no harm. Her big, sharp teeth don't help
° Will avoid conflict at all cost
° Wags their sheep tail like a puppy when happy
° When asked about their species, Del doesn't beat around the bush as she thinks it brings more trouble. Sheep-wolf hybrid, that's all.
• Commonly Found:
° Near the Wishing Fountain on Saturdays, giving away little handmade trinkets
° Sometimes in Val's Dance Classes, trying to work on herself
° In Lilypad Cafe, ordering drinks and browsing the net
° In Crescent Cream, buying ingredients and froyo
° In Sparrow's cottage and in Hollow Forest, brewing potions and experimenting, and looking for ingredients with Furball
• Specific Interactions:
° Approached by a stranger: Smiles awkwardly and asks what's up.
° Asked for their number: If it's an acquaintance, yes, to keep in touch. Otherwise, says no and walks off.
° Asked for help by a stranger: If it's a small thing, agrees out of politeness.
° Asked to hang out by a friend: Depends on their form usage - if Del has been in their non-wolf form for long, they need to rest. She hates being seen in that form, and will reschedule plans due to "feeling sick".
° Asked out: Awkward laugh, "that's a good joke". If persistent, Del will bluntly say no and walk away.
• FAMILIAR •
• Name: Furball
° Nicknames: Fuzzball, Fuzz, Fuzzbutt
