Delaware (*デラウェア, Derau~Ea*) or Evan Dominic Watson (*エヴァンドミニクワトソン, Evu~an Dominiku Watoson*) is a fan-made character in Hetalia: Axis Powers. He represents the State of Delaware, alongside his triplet sister, South Delaware. He's often called Del or North as a nickname.

## Appearance

Delaware's a lean and average height teen with short, straight brown hair, hazelnut brown eyes and sun-kissed skin. He has a bullet wound scar on his shoulder from the Battle of Iron Hill or the Battle of Cooch's Bridge. He has a birthmark on his cheek that represents the Newark Reservoir, two rings representing Fort Delaware and Christina and a birthmark on the right side of his body that represents the Delaware Bay. Del usually wears a grey sweatshirt with black pants, a necklace with a diamond gem and a light brown jacket. He's also seen wearing a white button-up shirt with black jeans, white high-tops and a thin blue jacket.

## Personality and Interests

Del's an open-minded, friendly and independent person. He's strict and sometimes takes things a bit too seriously, however he rarely yells at someone in anger unlike some of the other 13. Unlike South, North's more reserved and competitive about small things, but still as friendly as South. Del's easily stressed, but can easily calm himself and others down. He's also calm and relaxed during scary situations which is why most of the states come to him for help with such situations.

Del likes to have company, but it drains him a lot. So, he rarely has people over and likes to be left alone most of the time. He loves to read and learn about stuff, especially chemistry. He usually does the research for the haunted places South wants to go to. He also loves to draw and usually does it for South and/or Mary. Sometimes, he goes out to drink on days he has nothing to do. He can be seen on the beach at night or winter when many tourists aren't there, mainly because he hates tourists.

Del shows interest in both Dutch and Swedish food and occasionally eats them for lunch. He also takes an interest in NASCAR, watching any chance he gets. He does go to parties, but usually small parties. If he's at a big party, it's usually because South dragged him there. He loves to bird watch and draw them as a hobby. He likes to take walks to ease his stress and has a passion for nature. He owns a Delaware Blue Hen South named Bethany, but South takes care of her most of the time.

## Relationships

### South Delaware (Lennie D. Watson)

South's North's triplet sister. They have a pretty good relationship together and they hate being mistaken for one another. They usually confide in each other, usually leaving Mary out. They also go ghost hunting with Mary and America. Back when they were children, South usually dragged North and Mary out to do some farming with her which led to all three of them having sun-kissed skin.

### Maryland (Lisa M. Wilson)

Mary's Del's other triplet. They have a pretty good relationship, however, they don't speak to each other often. He usually leaves her out on the confiding he does with South. South usually has to force him for all three to confide with each other. Maryland doesn't usually mistaken South and North for each other, but does on occasion.

### Pennsylvania (Will H. Penn)

They genuinely act kind and caring towards each other. However, they'll fight about who's the better driver or about Penny and West. Unlike most of the states, Penny never overlooks both of the Delawares who are extremely grateful. Del and Penny go out and drink together occasionally when Del wants some company.

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

Del doesn't really talk with both of the New Jerseys. North and West do get into arguments about North taking some things too seriously and telling him to relax, but they never really do anything with each other except drinking.

Like West, North doesn't talk much with East. However, Del loves his silent company and occasionally asks to come over for some drinks together when he's fed up with the rest of the states.

### Virginia (Vinny E. Jefferson)

Del and Gin have a good relationship. Del feels like he can trust Ginny and feels safe with him around, but he can get ticked off at Gin's tendency to be overly caring. Del respects Ginny for treating every conversation civilly, however, he does wish that he and Ginny could have a normal conversation without the formality.

### America (Alfred F. Jones)

Him and America have a good relationship. Delaware was actually the one who changed America's mind about England and the Revolution. Del helps America with a lot of things and is happy to do so. Del usually listens to America rant about random things when America needs to take a break from being a country to talk.

### Netherlands

Unlike most of the former New Netherlands, North shows an interest to reconnect with the Netherlands. However, North's still disappointed that the Netherlands felt the need to take him away from his triplets.

### England (Arthur Kirkland)

North's confused about England. North never saw England as family and England usually forgot about him like he did with most of the other colonies. Del hated him as a kid more than his sisters did, blaming him for years for anything that happened during the Revolutionary War. Even today, Del still holds a bit of a grudge against England. North can't decide if he wants to become close or remain distant.
