## Biography

Della Baxter is the mother of the Baxter twins and wife of Burt Baxter. Della is a minor character in *"Summertime: A Love Letter"*, *"Tales From Camp Lakewood"*, a major character in "*Road to Royal Woods: A Rope of Sand"* and is a supporting character in "*A Different World"*.

### Early Life

In her youth, Della grew up in a small suburban-like town in Texas where she attended school from Pre-K to Senior year of high school.

After graduating; she decided to venture out on her own after being accepted to University of Michigan. At first her parents were worried about their youngest child moving so far away from them but they had to remember that Della's not a little girl anymore and she should be able to spread her wings.

It was during her college years that she met her would-be husband, Burt Baxter. Corny as it sounds it truly was love at first sight for these two.

The day after they graduated UM, Burt proposed to Della and a year later they got married.

Not too long after, the newlyweds started trying to have a baby. Since Della grew up with both an older brother and sister and Burt wished he had siblings it was understandable why they wanted to have children. Unfortunately for them the first few tries weren't successful and when it seemed like Della managed to get pregnant, she lost that baby.

That miscarriage led Della to having a dark period in her life, she wanted to be a mom so bad but it seemed like the odds were against her.

It was at this point that she went on a sabbatical by herself, hoping to clear her head. During that time she was away, Della did a lot of soul searching and along the way she turned to spiritualism which in a cosmic way gave her a new perspective on life.

When Della came back from her sabbatical, she felt this sense of renewal and she had wanted to start trying again. After a long and difficult road, she and Burt had been blessed with bringing in two beautiful daughters into this world. And every day since then, Della sets time in her schedule to take a moment to say thank you for all of the things she's been blessed with including her little girls. She would dedicate the rest of her life to help people like how she was helped.

## Personality

Over the years, various people have described Della as a "hippie cowgirl" which isn't wholly inaccurate with all things considered. She grew up in Texas and did a lot of horseback riding during her childhood and as she got older that part of her didn't go away. In some ways it got blended when she turned to the spiritualist lifestyle.

Della is very caring towards her children, one would say overbearing but she means well. And after all these years she and her husband still have that romantic spark towards each other, though ironically enough she is considered to be the more level-headed parent.

Next to being a mom and running her store, one of Della's dreams is to become a professional singer. Something that she picked up at college when she would write her own song lyrics and perform at this nice coffee shop that was close to her apartment. Every now and then she'd pick up the guitar if the right inspiration hit her.

## Appearance

Much like her daughter Beulah, Della has long blonde hair that goes all the way down her back.

Her everyday outfit consists of a light brown cowboy hat with a turquoise scarf wrapped around, a pair of red beads for her pigtails, a crystal necklace, a black short sleeved cardigan with white trim, a light purple long sleeved shirt with dark purple trim, a pair of orange pants with dark orange trim and a pair of brown sandals.
