**Delilah Hawthorne** is **The Chief of the Minos Bureau of Crisis Control**, and a mysterious amnesiac.

## Personality

Delilah has no memories prior to being The Chief of the Minos Bureau of Crisis Control. Due to her having rather dead eyes, people assume her to be aloof, and cold, but Delilah has proven herself to be rather kind and affectionate, if calm and rather perceptive. She has an innate ability at manipulating, being able to get people to do things for her while making them think that they're doing things of their own accord. With this, she has been proven to be rather intelligent. Even though the Others under her command are meant to be her enemies, she can't help but care for them.

## Background

Having no memories, Delilah's past isn't known. All that is known is that she somehow became the Chief of the Minos Bureau of Crisis Control.

## Powers and Abilities

* **The Shackles**: Delilah is able to control a strange phenomenon called The Shackles, which even the MBCC haven’t found out how it works yet. Currently, they mainly control Others with three features: combat ability enhancement, weak sense tracking, and the Forbidden Force. Once the Shackles are established, the enabler can sense the shackled Other’s location and absolutely forbid specific behaviors in the Other with clearly worded orders. The Shackles must be established through physical direct contact. The removal condition is the death of either the enabler or the shackled Other. According to a flashback, Delilah is, or at least was, able to use the Shackles without lifting her hands.
* Potestas: TBA
* **Great Old One**: Delilah is able to transform either a part or her whole body into a monster with lots of tentacles. In this state, she is only vulnerable from the inside. Additionally, she is capable of regeneration.

## Trivia

* The name Delilah means "delicate and corrupt" in Hebrew. In Arabic, it means "delicate, fragile, guide, direct."
* Hawthorne is a toponymic surname of British and Irish origin, originally for someone who lived near a hawthorn hedge or in a place with such a name. Her surname is a reference to the author Nathaniel Hawthorne, who wrote *Rappaccini's Daughter*, a short story in which a man falls in love with a woman who has a strong poison coursing through her veins and can kill anything with a simple touch.

## Quotes

* (To Marianna) *"I understand. After all, all these opposing and negative voices can make someone feel very uncomfortable. Don't get used to such things. You have to... speak up. As long as you feel pain, you must speak up. You must say "no." All the things that make you angry, sad, and miserable... if you don't say "no" to them, they will always stay by your side. Sometimes, they even hurt the people around you. Say it. Say what you want to say. ... Do you want the people by your side... the people who love you... to get hurt?"*
