Delilah Young

**Delilah Young** is one of the main characters in *Outer Banks*. She is portrayed by Maddy Valentine.

Delilah is a sarcastic, kind and caring friend, often described as beautiful or gorgeous. She is from a Kook Family, which she, like Kiara, doesn’t like to admit. Delilah fits in perfectly with the Pogues.

## Early life

It is not known much about Delilah’s past, except she’s been raised in an abusive family. Her older sister Maggie left when she was 16, and Delilah 6. Her mother, Taylor is often seen drunk, which is probably the reason her younger daughter is also. Once, when she was 8, she came home from school, to find her mother laying on the living room floor, overdosed.

## Biography

Delilah was born on Figure Eight, as the second daughter of Aaron and Taylor Young. Both her parents were born into rich families. Delilah went to Kook Academy, together with her friends Sarah Cameron and Kiara Carrera. Shortly after John B involves Sarah in their hunt for the Royal Merchant gold, the rest of the Pogues strand them on a boat together, where Kiara asks Sarah, why she invited Delilah to her party, but not her.

It’s revealed, that before changing schools, Delilah already had some kind of connection to the boys.

In the pilot, John B reveals that he, JJ, and Pope each have or had some sort of attraction to Delilah.

## Quotes

> That’s Delilah. When she’s not watching Marvel movies, listening to Taylor Swift with Kiara or going on parties, she hangs out with us. We don’t know why, but we like it, even though she’s a rich kid. Pope, me and mostly JJ all have a thing for her. They would kill me, if I told anyone.
