Delaware (*デラウェア, Derau~Ea*) or Elena "Lennie" Delilah Watson (*エレナ デリラ ワトソン, Erena Derira Watoson*) is a fan-made character in Hetalia: Axis Powers. She represents the State of Delaware, alongside her triplet brother, North Delaware. She's often called Dela or South as a nickname.

## Appearance

Delaware's a lean, short and physically unimposing teen with long hazelnut brown hair, brown eyes and sun-kissed skin. She has a small birthmark on her right shoulder that represents Cape Henlopen, a birthmark on her stomach that represents the Trap Pond State Park, a birthmark on her ankle that represents Bethany Beach and a bracelet that represents Lums Pond. Dela usually wears a purple long-sleeved, fit and flare dress that reaches her knees with a light purple cardigan, purple pumps and diamond stud earrings. She's also seen wearing a black blouse with a blue flared skirt and blue and black sneakers.

## Personality and Interests

Like Del, Dela's an open-minded, friendly and independent person. She's also creative and energetic, usually pulling her siblings to do stuff with her. She's also very stubborn and she's more laid-back than Del. However, she has a short temper and yells a lot at people, sometimes, yelling in Swedish, Finnish or Dutch. Unlike North, she's easily scared during scary situations, but doesn't get stressed as easily as North.

Dela loves to have company and usually visits her neighbors regularly, always bringing a treat or a gift from her state. She loves debating and does it with just about everyone. She loves tourists and talks to them constantly. She would be upset if tourists stopped visiting her. She has a fear of being forgotten and visits her siblings a lot because of it. She also hates being ignored by people. She loves to explore haunted places and North usually does the research for it. Dela's not a picky eater and will eat just about everything.

Her favorite foods are crabs and strawberry pie. Dela cherishes the drawings North makes and keeps them in their shared house, hanging on the walls. Like North, she's competitive about small things and makes them a big deal, which can annoy some people. She has an interest in diamonds and she's protective of her siblings, younger or older. Dela loves to comfort people, knowing how to cheer them up.

Dela also loves to tell people that she and North were the first state to enter the Union to grab attention, usually it fades quickly. She's usually on her farm with her chickens. Even though, Bethany is North's chicken, South treats Beth as her own. She also has a pet chihuahua she named Christiana.

## Relationships

### North Delaware (Evan D. Watson)

North's South's triplet. They have a pretty good relationship with each other and they hate being mistaken for one another. They usually confide in each other. However, South loves to talk to Mary more than North as she has to do most of the talking when she's with North. They usually go ghost hunting with Mary and America.

### Maryland (Lisa M. Wilson)

Mary's Dela's other triplet. They usually talk to each other about random stuff and sometimes, they vent to one another. South usually visits Mary so that she can check up on her. Back during the Civil War, Mary was crippled by the Battle of Antietam. South immediately helped Mary with everything after. Even today, South still helps Mary with stuff even though Mary is fully healed and can do things on her own.

### Pennsylvania (Will H. Penn)

They don't really talk much anymore. Dela thinks it's because of their differing opinions back during the Civil War as that's when Penny stopped talking to her as much. However, they still talk on occasion and Dela loves that Penny doesn't overlook her and North like the other states.

### South and North New Jersey (Nicky and Mike J. Mitchell)

North's Dela's debating partner. Dela usually goes to his house so that she can debate with him. They do talk outside of that, but it's because South invites her over.

South and Dela usually go out to parties together and love to play pranks and tease others. They also bond over farming together which is why South rarely goes back to his own house in Cape May City. Dela wasn't surprised when she first saw how much alcohol South could drink without getting tipsy. She told him that he just seemed like that kind of person when he asked about it. Dela has seen South get angry and was freaked out when she first saw it.

### Virginia (Vinny E. Jefferson)

Dela and Ginny are quite close. She feels like she can trust Ginny and feels safe around him, the same way North feels around Ginny. Unlike some other states, Dela doesn't mind Ginny's over protective and caring nature and calls him 'Mama' a lot. South loves to come over to Ginny's house so she can hear Ginny playing some of his instruments. However, she does get upset when Ginny treats nearly every conversation as if he's speaking to someone in power.

### America (Alfred F. Jones)

They have a good relationship despite not talking much. The only times South sees America is when she's ghost hunting with North and Mary or when North and America are talking together in her and North's house.

### Sweden (Berwald Oxenstierna)

Sweden doesn't really talk to Dela, leaving Dela to do all the talking. South hates it, but persists so she can know him better. She talks in Swedish to get him to open up sometimes. She also takes him to her house and shows off Beth, North's blue hen and Chris, her chihuahua.

### England (Arthur Kirkland)

Her and England don't really talk to each other. Like most of the 13, she still holds a grudge against him. Despite her grudge, she still tolerates talking to him for a short time.
