## History

Delnys was introduced in Episode 8 - A Sandy Situation after being rescued by Integrity, Winsler, and Mira from a book.

### Arc 2: Book Worms

In Episode 9 - The Origami Adversary, she assisted the students in fighting the Book Champion to free the group from the book.

### Arc 3: Eyes on the Prize

In Episode 10 - The Latecomer, Delnys gave a series of gifts, from both her and her father Professor Raethran, as a thank-you to the students for rescuing her from the book. Winsler received the necessary components to cast Find Familiar, Maximillian's Earthen Grasp, Aganazzar's Scorcher, and Fog Cloud. He also received a book titled The Modern Methods of Elemental Experimentation which contained the instructions to cast the aforementioned spells and was covered in enchanted cat stickers. Integrity received an enchanted Rope of Climbing, a silver fern hairclip, and a dagger called Squal that was enchanted with electricity. Mira received a silver flute with the ability to cast Silence and Sleep, a Necklace of Adaptation, and a thank-you letter addressed towards the team.

In Episode 14 - Assorted Errands, Delnys visited Mira's dorm along with her friend Penny Royal to check up on her following the duel, bringing along a gift of homemade sweet rolls.

### Arc 5: Whiteout

In Episode 27 - Crunch Time, Delnys attended a Book Club meeting along with Winsler, Mira, and Allena Hollyfield, and informed the group of an upcoming 21st birthday dinner to which they would be invited. She implied that they should not come to the party if invited as it would be "awkward".

### Arc 6: Food for Thought

In Episode 41 - A Test of Integrity, Mira and Serinepth Sinderman arrived at Delnys' birthday party after using a teleportation circle to visit her house. Upon seeing that guests had arrived at the party, Delnys reacted with distress, acting tense and unhappy throughout the dinner.

In Episode 43 - Kitchen Nightmares, Delnys was approached by a black dragonborn resembling Professor Deeptar, who appeared from the sink and tried to abduct her using solidified slime. Serinepth and Mira fought the creature off; after Mira cast a spell that injured everyone in the room, Delnys fell unconscious. She was brought away by her father, allowing her time to recover.

### Arc 7: Til Death Do Us Party

Delnys did not spend time with the group until Episode 70 - From the Heart, when Mira invited Delnys to the Golem party the following night via an ostentatious display in the courtyard. Delnys bemusedly accepted the invitation. At the party, she apologized for yelling at Mira during the dinner party, and asked to accompany her on a future adventure.

### Arc 10: Faint of Heart

In Episode 80 - Mission: Improbable, the two broke into the office of Professor Underbough to investigate his murder. After Mira fell unconscious and the Enchantment Tower was set on fire, they escaped to Mira's dormitory, where Delnys spent the night. After Mira informed Delnys that she intended to visit Neska in the sewers, Delnys asked to accompany her.

In Episode 85 - Ghurt Intentions, Delnys visited the sewers with Mira, and encountered Neska. Neska spoke telepathically to Delnys, and demanded that both of them ingest orchid dust, which led Delnys to fall unconscious. She awoke in a vision of a Sheoran garden; Delnys shared a body with Mira. When the two awoke from their vision, it was revealed that the vision was incorrect. Neska bit off Mira's arm, believing that this was the key to giving Mira the correct vision. In order to heal Mira, Delnys cast Life Transferrence on her, and the injured pair escaped to Artis Artisian's cottage.

After the two had taken some time to rest, Delnys went into the forest with Artis Artisian, who gave Delnys romantic advice regarding Mira. Realizing that Mira may have feelings for her, Delnys asked Mira, who confessed to having a crush on Delnys. Delnys asked Mira to talk about it more with her after she took a nap, but Mira left to fight Neska before Delnys awoke. After Mira left the cottage, Neska attacked in her humanoid form, injuring Delnys and killing Teb.

### Arc 11: A Scandal in Academia

After returning home, Delnys informed her friends Penny Royal, Zara Greybeard, and Ainsley Woodley, as well as her mentor Indumati Parlour, of what had happened to her. At Penny's advice, Delnys avoided talking to Mira, although she visited Professor Allaro daily to check on Mira's prosthetic arm. Her family's butler later advised her to invite Mira to her family's annual murder mystery party.

Mira arrived at the party and the two participated in a somewhat tense group dinner together, with Penny acting discontented toward Mira throughout the night. Partway through the party, Delnys' father Elrich Raethran and her mentor returned home. An intoxicated Artis explained that he had accidentally mentioned Elrich's debt, which had initially been a secret. The study group held an emergency meeting with Indumati wherein it was revealed Delnys may have issues affording Wildcliff tuition next year. She spoke to Penny in her room for a while, and Mira later joined them. After Penny left, Mira expressed her sympathies and explained the larger situation at hand to Delnys. Delnys confessed that she had romantic feelings for Mira, and kissed her.
