As Dr Hex: she wears a long cloak with sleeves. She wears a plague doctors mask or a mask with skulls on it. . Wears gloves with spider silk look. Has a pocket for everything, silk, doll, book, pen…everything. Even a place for Fuzzy.

Info: born an albino duck and the oddball misfit, Daliah was not like her brothers or mother in the foundation of Shush. While her brothers were very cruel and abusive, she was more timid but acted mean to impress her family. She tended to be more kind and merciful…which ticked off her mother. When her mother passed Shush down to the three of them, she being the oldest was given a lot of mental and emotional abuse and made to be perfect. While her brothers were cruel, she was the one who would feel bad when eggheads were punished and she agents were hurt. Secretly tending to their wounds and helping them. But she grew up having a fake cold demeanor as well. She was very talented in necromancy and could talk to spirits. She also had a strange talent with puppet making. Her gift was used by her family and they forced her “ abuse, gaslighting and manipulation” to use her gifts to punish people like eggheads and agents. She hated it. Then, she had enough one day and tried to shut shush down by sending huge info to Bradford…( how she knows him is still in the air) which failed and her family took everything from her. Her freedom, her Humanity…her lover. After years of torment she snapped and when she did an inferno of hellfire was risen and shush realized too late she was a threat. Daliah is believed to be dead but now a new anti hero named Dr Hex is causing problems, killing Shush agents and kidnapping eggheads.

Other info:

Daliah has a tarantula named fuzzy who rides on her shoulder or hides in her pockets. Very protective of her.

Along with Daliah or Dr Hex. She has an assistant with her. Mortimer was an egghead who fled shush and Hex found him beaten to near death and dying. She healed him and he is now working for her.

Daliah is very ill tempered despite her gentle nature. She can blow up quickly if she is at the point of no return. She has to be locked up by mom if she snaps. She wants a perfect daughter and sees her emotions as a problem.

She has grown claustrophobic due to all the times being locked up. She can talk to spiders and they are like the mice from Cinderella.

When she was born everyone was horrified and thought she was dead…then they thought she was cursed. But they soon capitalized on her abilities as she grew up.

Her mom made her obedient at a very early age. After an ‘incident’ where Daliah got scared and hurt her mom after her mom tried to beat her. That NEVER happened again.

Daliah actually is more friends with the eggheads though her mom hates it since they are ‘ replaceable’

Her girlfriend Lucia is actually an egghead. The girlfriend and her brother Tom were kinda forced to work for shush as a business deal between their families. Their drunk mom sold them off to shush at a young age.

Her mom was NOT approving of the relationship and has tried to make Lucia’s job worse and super busy…but her and Daliah can never be apart….well, until her death.

So, her puppet making talent is part of the necromancy. She basically can use a drop of blood from a person and an enchanted string and needle to do this. Dip the blood in the needle, say a few words and then use an old doll. When she sews a symbol on the doll, the person can feel and see the mark. Once done the person is under their control. Her mom 100% makes her do this, she hates doing this. But she’s scared of her mom…since her mom can do this too and has threatened to sew Daliah’s mouth shut like a doll. Now…the spell can be broken. If you burn the symbol on the doll with a special brew and holy water it should free the person…but it depends. The person can go through ptsd and have issues mentally after.

Realized that I have a lot of unposted sketches of these two in my art folder, of varying quality.

Fleshing out my superhero 'verse with some additional superheroes. Together with Starsong, they form the Hand of Justice, the 'verse's Justice League/Avengers expy. Write-ups under the cut, though it's all pretty rough and prone to alterations.
