overall personality ,
impulsive
never in her life had delilah been able to make plans and stick to them. she had tried, believe me, she did, but no matter how hard she tried, she just simply couldn't do it. not because she was lazy or forgetful, it was just, whenever she made plans, she felt a very strong urge to not to follow them. it could be because of her independent personality, or just because of her simple need to disobey to anything and everything, no one will ever know. but later on, she decided that making plans was just a way of limiting your options when living your life, and came to the conclusion that even trying was stupid. and from that moment, since she can not decide what to do beforehand, she started deciding what to do based on momentarily urges. thats probably not the most clever thing to do, but she was determined that it was the right thing to do, since when someone decided what to do beforehand, the only thing that caused was for people to have more time to worry about if their decisions are right or wrong, whereas when you make impulsive decisions, you usually don't get the time to worry. of course, some people think of having time to worry as an opportunity to rejudge their decision, and think over what the consequences might be, but thats just not delilah. she prefers making impulsive decisions and getting herself in trouble to planning her life and worrying about what the consequences of her decisions might be. of course this causes for her to get into deep nuts, but in time, she perfected the art of getting herself out of trouble, so she doesn't see that as a big deal.
sarcastic
her life, unlike what everyone thinks, was never a flawless one. actually, until her father took her custody, there had been nothing but flaws in her life. so it didn't really take long for delilah to figure out that she was living in one fucked up world, and she knew that she couldn't try and act like there was nothing wrong. but she also knew that if she would ever take life seriously, she was going to end up with a few mental deceases, and turn out as a pessimist. so she decided to look up to her father, and take nothing seriously, which caused for her to gain a sarcastic way of looking at life, and a constant whatever attitude. of course, this has some disadvantages, especially when it comes to things that require for her to be serious, such as relationships, because she has the same sarcastic and care free attitude when it comes to that too, which doesn't really help. but still, she doesn't see that as a reason to drop this attitude. mocking the world, to her, is still the best way of keeping sane, and this helps for her to shrug things off. when someone makes a comment on her that she does not enjoy, she always manages to give that person a smile and say 'thank you', which wouldn't be possible if she would take things seriously. some people think she comes out as disrespectful, but she doesn't really mind that.
blunt
delilah is very well aware that most of the time, truth is the last thing people want to hear. she also knows that by telling the truth, you're not necessarily doing that person a favor. she knows that people don't to learn if they are being cheated. and when they ask if they look fat in that dress, its because they need to hear the answer no enough times to satisfy their ego. she's also aware that if she weren't this blunt, she'd be more lovable. but that just isn't a possibility. see, she's not trying to be rude, annoying or pregnant dogy when she's being brutally honest about anything and everything, although she knows it very well that people think thats what she's trying to do. she just simply doesn't like lying. hiding stuff, and keeping silent, is okay to a point, but if you ask her whats her opinion on you, expect nothing but the truth. she doesn't really understand why people ask questions at the first place when they want to be lied to, and no matter how sorry she'll be for hurting someone by telling them the truth, she'll still do this. it was just how she was raised, both by her grandmother and her father. they would both be very honest about their opinions on her, and she never saw it to be a bad thing. maybe slightly discouraging, yet still, she'd choose the bitter truth over sweet lies anytime, and she expects for people to share her opinion, but of course, most of the time, thats not the case, and she ends up making quite a few enemies.
realtionship failer
its not that she finds it hard to like someone. seriously, she doesn't. she finds it very easy to like people, flirt with them, or do other stuff, when there's no actual relationship. it isn't really relationships that tick her off, either. she just doesn't like how people seem to change when you get in a relationship with them, and how they start to take things seriously. so most of the time, she avoids relationships. but thats mainly because she has never actually fallen in love with someone, and until that happens, this probably won't change. being in a relationship with this girl isn't any easier then getting her to start a relationship, either. she definitely will never get along with a hopeless romantic, because although there is a romantic person hidden deep inside her, she doesn't like being treated like she's worthier then she is. it is easier to get her to like you by treating her like just another girl to get in the pants of, rather then she's the center of your universe. she doesn't know why she's like this. she may not be the best of relationships, but still, she's one of the most flirtatious people you'll ever meet, without even being aware of it. she's the best at acting promiscuous, even though she really isn't.
stubborn & free spirited
well, no one whose even slightly sane would try to tell this girl what to do, because first, she wouldn't listen to you and go do whatever she wanted to do, and second, she'd become your new life time enemy- and no one would want that. she's just not one of those people who let others get in charge of her life. of course, letting others to make your decisions for you makes things a lot easier, and there are a lot of people in her life who would be happy if she did that- like her agent. but still, she hates the thought of being controlled, and following orders is just not her strongest point. she likes being in charge of her own life, and making her own decisions, as well as her own mistakes. she thinks that making your own mistakes is a thousand times better than living off of other people's experiences, because in that case, you end up learning something, and making mistakes defines who you are, if you ask delilah. of course, at times, this comes out as stupid stubbornness, and she does say no just to be disobedient, not because she actually disagrees. still, she doesn't care what other people thought about her, and most probably, she never will. she knows that some people think she's annoyingly loud and crazy, but well, thats just who she is, and she's not going to change anytime soon
nerdy
well, she has never been called one, but she flat out is, and she has never tried to hide that. she reads anything she can get her hands on, whether it is good or bad. this is mainly because she believes that in order to understand when you have something good in your hands, you should experience the worst. also, reading books that are written poorly, educated her as a writer, because reading classics and good novels might teach one what to do, but to know what to avoid, bad ones are what one needs. she also likes reading classics in their own language, for which she had to learn russian, german and greek, and it came in handy that she is almost a native french. its not like she spends every moment reading, but she sleeps five hours tops at nights, and when she doesn't go out or doesn't have to study, reading is what she prefers to do. she also is very into history, which is her minor, and she enjoys reading, watching or listening to anything on history. of course, her interest in that subject has made her a little pessimistic, since world's history is a giant book on how nothing lasts forever and happy endings don't exist. philosophy is another interest of hers. she was eight when she first read sophie's choice, and from that point, she never stopped. she's a big fan of frederick nietszche, though she is not an ateist, and she believes philosophy gives her a better view of world. she had been told several times, mostly by her own family, that the only reason she was never that nerd people avoided was because she was a pretty blonde, and she finds that very insulting, though she's not exactly sure that its not true.
sexual
well, some people would call her that, but this is not totally true. she's not a nympho, and her life doesn't turn around sex. she just doesn't give importance to it. she doesn't think sex is a big deal, unless you really like someone, and in the absence of feelings, sex is not a big deal, definitely not more than kissing someone is. so she doesn't go around looking for sex, she just doesn't go frowning over it if she has a drunk one night stands, and flings also are nothing important in her eyes. of course, some would say this is normal behavior for someone who is afraid of commitment, but what people don't understand is, dee is not afraid of commitment. she is not one to marry, but if she ever finds someone who realizes that she doesn't like when people are protective over her, or when they get too romantic or too serious over what they have, she won't be avoiding that person or being involved with that person. and until then, she will keep on thinking of sex as an unimportant topic. though this isn't the case when the other person is involved with someone. if a guy has someone that loves him and cares about him, someone that he should be loyal to, then she'll definitely stay away from them.
hair ,
the girl's hair seems to be most people's favorite features about her- of course, that refers to those who actually manage to notice she has a head above her body. she doesn't really see why people are so fond of her hair though, because to her, her hair color is nothing but boring, since all people need to do to get the exact same hair color as she does is to go to a hair salon, and spend two hours and three hundred bucks on something they weren't naturally given, which seems to be what every manhattan princess choose to do these days. still, she has to admit that her dirty blond hair is one of her most distinctive features, and just by changing its length, she can change her whole appearance. her length is the only thing the girl chooses to change about her hair, she doesn't even bother to straighten her wavy curls, because her job she used to do damaged her hair enough, without her torturing it in her free time as well, and also, this girl is too hyper to spend more than five minutes on her hair if she isn't obligated to. she did consider changing her hair color in the past, though. to be honest, every time someone told her that if she'd ever change her hair color, her whole career would be over, she feels a very strong urge to go and get her hair dyed to black, and she would have done it by now if it weren't for the fact that she's allergic to hair dye. she envies those who were lucky enough to be born as a brunette more than anything, and she had never understood why people would ever feel the desire to become faux blonds. her current hair length is slightly below her shoulder blades, along with long, side bangs, but that can change any moment, all she needs to go and get her hair cut- or to cut it herself- is a momentary impulse. of course she knows that people wouldn't be happy if she'd get a short, pixie haircut, but that only makes her want to do it more.
eyes ,
mostly, delilah's eyes are shadowed by her bangs, but they still stand to be one of the best features of her- the best, if you ask her. she has been told many times that her eyes are the only thing she did not inherit from her mom, that woman she loathes more than anything, and that alone is enough to make her eyes her favorite feature. thats not the only reason though. she believes that you can understand who a person truly is just by looking at their eyes, and sees eyes as windows that open to one's spirit, so eyes are her favorite feature of every people, not only her self's, and she'd like her eyes even if there were nothing significant about them. she has almond shaped, bright green eyes, though their shade changes according to the lighting- or her state of mood. she mostly does a good job at hiding her emotions, but still, her eyes reveal every single detail about her- which is not something she enjoys, but still, she is not one to be ashamed of her thoughts or feelings, and since there's nothing she can do about this, she prefers to not to make a big deal out of it. her eyes are not over sized, yet she manages to make them look like they are by the thick frames of eyeliner she usually wears around them. the only time she hates her eyes are during hang overs, she simply does not enjoy having purple rings around her eyes, or having the whites of her eyes turn red. the same thing happens after crying as well, but she doesn't even remember the last time she cried, so that doesn't stand as a problem.
builty ,
okay, so the girl is skinny. that does not mean she's anorexic, and she thinks that its time people understand that. she is asked on a frequent basis if thats the case, and at times, saying 'no' gets so tiring that, she says 'i'm actually bulimic, but shush.', just to see that look on people's face. the thing is, the girl eats more than anyone- let alone a model- should, but being the hyper person that she is, she doesn't really put on any weight. of course, genetics play an important role at this too, and she's thankful for it, because even if her metabolism was slow, she wouldn't be able to get herself to eat less. working out at the gym is not her thing either, she just finds working out just to stay fit stupid, and the only exercise she does is yoga, and thats mainly to preserve her flexibility, not to stay fit- oh, and she walks her dog every morning, if that counts. when compared to most models, she can be told to have curves, but of course, she's no victoria's secret angel. she prefers not to think about her built though, because everyone makes a different comment on it. when she's modeling for lingerie, she's being told that she should consider getting implants, and when she's modeling for haute couture, she's being told that she could use smaller breasts. so when people comment on her built, she just shrugs and smirks, which is her usual attitude when it comes to her outlooks. she does think though, that she looks more like a basketball player than a model, but well, since she can not shoot an aim even if her life depends on it, thats not really an option.
weight , 110 lbs
height , 5'11''
fashion sense ,
delilah has a very distinctive sense of fashion, which is independent from most current trends. she has certain things she will always wear and then things she'll never wear- if she has a choice. a casual outfit for her is a baggy t-shirt, short shorts and flat shoes. she wears shorts no matter what season, and tries not to let the weather keep her from what she wants to wear, but when it is impossible for her to wear shorts, she goes with skinny jeans. she likes thigh clothes, because -although she'll never admit- they give her a sense of support, and make her feel confident and safe, like she's being bear hugged in a sense. the reason she tries to go baggy with t-shirts although she likes wearing thigh clothes is, though, because they hide the curves in her upper torso - she has noticed in the past that once people concentrate on someone's body, they tend to not pay attention to what that person is saying. as for skirts, well, she wears them occasionally, though never long ones - mainly because she tends to trip on them. formal occasions are exceptions, of course. another thing she'll never wear- or well, she tries not to wear- is high heels, because they simply hurt.

overall history ,
vivienne bouvet and bruce dupont was an odd coupling, to say the least. though they were both of wealthy families and similar life styles, no one would imagine either of them with someone like the other. as bruce tried to avoid getting caught by the life style he was born to, and tried to chase his dreams, vivienne embraced it without showing any resistance, and the concept or living off of her family never really bothered her. and the most ironic part of their relationship was that, until vivienne told bruce she was pregnant with delilah, she thought that bruce was broke, because they've met at a concert of a big rock band, who bruce was touring with, because he was directing a documentary on them. of course, vivienne never suspected that bruce would be anything but broke, because she could never imagine someone with an extremely wealthy -to say the least- family would turn his back to them, to hit to road just to record a band for a payment that was the size of the money he received from his family in two weeks. vivienne did a surprising thing, and decided to tour alongside with the bands as a roadie, only of course, doing nothing that being a roadie required. after two weeks of touring, she decided this was a life style practically impossible to put up with, and flew back to france, where she found out she was pregnant. when she learned, she called bruce, to tell him that she knew he was in no situation to pay for the expenses of a baby, but she still was going to get married to him, even if she would have to give him allowance for the rest of their lives, just to keep a good appearance- and that was when bruce explained to him that he, in fact, was nowhere near broke. they got married in new york, and vivienne settled there.
the first years of their marriage was rather peaceful, mainly because bruce was traveling all the time and was hardly ever home, and they didn't have any time to argue- bruce wasn't even there when vivienne gave birth to evelyn. by the time delilah and connor were five, though, bruce's work was pretty well know, which meant he didn't have to spend that much time traveling, and that he could spend more time at home- which was when the fighting started. after one year of trying to put up with each other, they got divorced, and vivienne moved back to paris, dragging delilah, connor and eve along with her. they moved in with their grandmother, who was a woman of many rules and strict discipline, and was determines to raise these girls as ladies. when she was nine, delilah said she had enough of this and that she wanted to move to new york to live with his father. she was never one to be a lady, and she always liked the summers she spent with her dad, sleeping on the couch as his father and his friends smoked pot, played poker and discussed issues of the world. so she assured her mother that if she wouldn't let her go, she would be nothing but trouble. fearing public scandal more than anything, her mother allowed her to go. of course, that was not the best environment for a child to grow up in. although she was sent to private school, every night, when she come home, she would find a group of men, high and drunk, discussing philosophy, politics, or simply their next movies, and she would fall asleep, listening to them, high from the smokes of their joints- and she enjoyed it. in her high school years, she came pretty close to picking up a multiple personality disorder.
first, there was the delilah she was with when she was with her friends from her school, spoiled, slightly egoistic and bitchy. then, there was the delilah she was with her other group of friends, who were all inspirational street artists who were considerably older from her, or the group of musicians she hung out with. already drinking and smoking pot with her father, she moved on to cocaine easily. she would spend the evening with her sister, who, when delilah was fifteen, moved in with them, and then would go out with her friends to get wasted and to a few lines, and then would come to converse her father, who completely oblivious of all this. of course, the life style she was leading outside the house couldn't be kept a secret for too long, and was exposed when her father walked into her room one morning, to find her in bed with a boy he had never seen before, and a small amount of white powder laying in the drawer next to them. delilah was a senior at the time, and of course, she got her ass shipped to rehab as soon as she graduated. luckily, in between all these, she had already been accepted to columbia, which gave her something to do when she came back to home, all cleaned up, in september. though she still wasn't on good terms with her father, and just because she knew he wouldn't approve of it, she started modeling. at first, it was just for a friend of hers who was starting his own line, but in time, it turned to something much more serious, and it occupied so much time that she was very close to forgetting she was also a student. after a six hour heart to heart conversation with her father, she changed her number, and made sure no agency had anyway of contacting her. that was one year ago, and know, still pretty fucked up but better, she's going on with her education.
