i. The last born of six children was easily the most babied, but whatever her siblings and parents served to Delly, she returned the favor right back. She wasn’t sure how being the youngest, she’s fallen into the role of everyone’s shoulder, but she’s welcomed it on. Each of the O’Connor children have their very own perspectives and Delilah has a way of respecting each one. Perhaps that’s because she can’t decide what she really feels or yearns for or believes in. It’s much easier listening and dishing out advice rather than following it. Maybe she ought to leave it all up to God to figure out for her.
ii. Unassuming. The absolute best way to describe Delilah. She’s yet to figure out if that’s what she prefers or not, but it’s been an absolute life-saver thus far. To say Delly had a sheltered Christian upbringing would be an understatement, but through trials and tribulations, she’s found a balance between reality and the life that exists between the O’Connors four walls. She’s befriended a wholesome group of people who have introduced her to a lifetime of adventures: from moonshine and fishing, to red lipstick and dance clubs. With the Statute falling, curiosity has gotten the best of her once again. Was Witchcraft really the devil’s own doing? She’d like to discover for herself, and she’s often found in wizarding locations whenever she can hitch a ride within curfew. The lies are easier to tell when your hours at the Cappy Capri Motel were flexible. As long as she was safely home on a Sunday, all would be well.
iii. As a result of contracting a case of the chicken pox at age 7, the rare side-effect of hearing loss set in for Delly. She’s moderately hard-of-hearing, which means it’s hard to hear speech or sounds that are at a normal volume level. It never felt like an obstacle, maybe an adjustment at times, but never anything to run from or feel shame. In many ways, it pushed the once shy girl to forge better bonds with the people she knows and loves, and also strangers, too.
