### First Appearance

"Think of Me"

Delia Lear is a character in Team OPRA's story. She is a huntress and a knight of Illyria, as well as one of Orsino Gladio's lieutenant generals. Her weapon of choice is a dual fire arm rapier named Teritius.

## Appearance

### Physical

Delia is a tall woman who stands at 6'2 with a slim frame. She has fair white skin with dark violet eyes, a round head shape with a pointed chin and blonde hair that is shaven around the sides while left longer on top.

### Attire

Delia's attire consists of a white blouse with matching cravat tucked into a pair of black leather pants. Over that, Delia wears a dark grey tunic with red trimmings on the shoulders and buttons down the centre. On her feet, Delia wears a pair of thigh high-leather brown boots that are steel-capped with lighter brown leather garter-belts that attach to the belt loops of her pants. She then wears a brown leather belt with a padded side and it has a silver buckle with the flower of Illyria engraved onto it. Delia then wears brown leather gloves. Finally, Delia wears a brown leather cape with a collar that is drapped across her left shoulder and has a gold link chain attaching it.

## Personality

In contrast to people such as Orsino and Peter, Delia is shown as the no-nonsense and straight woman of the trio. She tolerates little nonsense in professional settings and has been shown not being afraid to be harsh in her verbal punishments towards people who fail to meet her expectations. She often shows difficulty in expressing her emotions towards other people, something that she needs to be reminded of by people such as Orsino. When in combat, Delia shows some level of bravado and confidence. She clearly enjoys the adrenaline that fighting gives her and isn't afraid to issue challenges to people if it means she can prove that she is the best.

## Background

Delia was born as the youngest daughter of Duke Lear of Vale, one of the remaining 'noble' families after the great war. Because of a disagreement in relation to Delia's unwillingness to abide what her father set for her future, Delia was exiled from the home at age 15.

Settling in Illyria, Delia was accepted into the squire program and eventually became a knight of Illyria. At some point she and Peter were sent to Vale on a mission that ended poorly, in her words.

## Abilities and Powers

Delia is an incredibly skilled duelist and fighter thanks to her time as a huntress and a member of the elite Knights of Illyria. She fights in mid to close range with her rapier-fire arm hybrid, dealing precise jabs and clean strikes at her opponents. Delia is the champion duelist in Illyria, as nobody has been able to beat her in a one on one duel.

### Weapon

Delia's weapon is called *Tertius.* It is the *Dual Fire Arm Rapier (DFAR).* Tertius is a Rapier with a built in fire arm located in the cross guard and hilt of the blade. The blade is made from a silver metal. The cross guard is a half sphere shape with engravings in it and a gold-rim around the edge and gold quillions. On the side of the rapier's blade is the barrel of the fire arm function that fires single shell ammunition. The grip is made from ivory with a brown leather grip. Delia can insert single cells of dust powder for elemental attacks.

### Semblance

As shown in "The Point of No Return", Delia's semblance is called *Swap.* By clapping her hands together, Delia can swap positions with herself and whichever target she chooses. This allows for her to trick and confuse her enemies as well as plan attacks with her allies. Delia will use more aura depending on the mass of the person or creature she is swapping with.
