## Personality

Dalia is a pushover who apologizes for everything, even if it wasn't her fault. She's a very kind and sensitive soul, but her kindness is taken advantage of by many people, even her mother. Her kindness and quiet nature leads her to be a metaphorical punching bag for **Bonnie,** and due to her nature she doesn't speak out about it until one of the **FruitBasket** members point it out.

Dalia is also very overwhelmed with her problems along with other people's. She overshadows her own problems and focuses on the problems her family and friends have. This leads her to forget about taking care of herself because she's focused on taking care of others. This tends to lead to emotion breaks, where she is overwhelmed and feels like she has no one to turn too.
