Delilah Ashwell

Delilah Ashwell is a halfblood Bonded to General Vulpes who was introduced in *Asphodel*. (Created by ***WritingBookworm***.)

## Biography

Delilah used to live among the Elysians. She grew up with a best friend (and later lover) named Claudia, and together they strove to pursue the Faith Virtue. She was a halfblood, which meant she wasn't always treated respectfully. But she managed to bear it, due to her faith in Elodi, and because of Claudia's support.

Things started to change as they got older. Delilah began questioning the logic of a few things, like why Elysians would treat Homini and halfbloods the way they do, and whether or not it was really good to pursue one sole Virtue. At about the same time, Claudia was bonded to a Faith Elysian named Jael, who really started pulling Claudia away from Delilah. That was when things really started to get bad.

More and more, Claudia spent more time with Jael than Delilah, leaving Delilah without the support system she'd grown to rely upon so much. Delilah slowly became embittered, and started to wonder if Elodi really cared for her at all. Her Faith began to wither. The situation still could have been salvaged, if not for what Jael told Claudia to do.

Jael persuaded Claudia that, in order to restore Delilah's faith in Elodi, drastic measures had to be taken. Claudia took Delilah out to the plains south of Elodiel, a rather inhospitable bit of land. When she was sure they were as far away from civilization as they could get, Claudia abandoned Delilah in the plains without any food, water, or shelter. Without any of these things, Jael had told Claudia, Delilah would have no choice but to rely on Elodi for help.

That was not what happened. That sealed Delilah's fall, and she totally lost all Faith. All alone, dehydration and hunger nearly completely overtook her. She came to the brink of death.

And that's when Vulpes found her.

## Personality

Honestly, one of Delilah's defining traits is her hatred for Elysians. She's vindictive toward them, and will do everything in her power to be stronger, so she can then, in turn, destroy them. Her other defining traits are the insecurity and low sense of self-worth that stemmed from said Elysians. She's been hurt by them, and though she dares not show it to anyone save Vulpes, she has several wounds she hasn't recovered from.

**Personality Type:** Super, *super* unhealthy ENFJ.

### Strengths

-Vindictive and spiteful: This gives her quite a bit of fuel and drive.

-Loyalty: Her loyalty to Vulpes is unquestionable.

-Insecurity: While it does wreck her, it also gives her a soft side that can come out on occasion, making her compassionate to others that have been hurt.

-Greed: She will do anything to be strong.

### Weaknesses

-Vindictive and spiteful: This blinds her.

-Loyalty: While her loyalty to Vulpes is unquestionable, his loyalty to her is more questionable.

-Insecurity: She still has a lot of healing to do, and the longer her problems remain unchecked, the bigger of a toll on her mental state it'll have.

-Greed: Obviously, doing *anything* to be strong isn't always a good thing.

**PERSONALITY TYPE:**Super, *super* unhealthy ENFJ.

## Relationships

Vulpes [Bonded]: Vulpes saved her at a time when no one else would, and helped her to become strong. As a result, she's fiercely loyal to him. Since he already saw her at her most vulnerable, she'll let herself be soft around him. But deep down, there's a deathly fear that he'll eventually cast her aside when he no longer needs her, not unlike how Claudia did.

Claudia [Former best friend, Ex-Lover]: Yeaaah. After what she did, Delilah's not on good terms with her.

Jael [Enemy]: Delilah hates Jael even more than she hates Claudia. The way Delilah sees it, she took everything from her when she took Claudia. So Delilah has every intention of taking everything from Jael.

## Trivia

-Her name is, indeed, a reference to the Biblical Delilah. Hopefully that's not too heavy-handed.

-Her backstory is based on a real-life story, where religious parents, after hearing their son was having doubts about serving a mission, stranded said son in a canyon.
