Delilah Gale

## History

As a young girl, Delilah has always known that she wanted to inspire those around her. She lived her entire life in Marilon and fell in love with the town, intending to spend the rest of her life in the heart of it. After completing her education, she would go on to become an elementary school teacher. She loved every minute of her time in the classroom and created a learning experience for each individual child in her classes. When given the opportunity, Delilah would volunteer to read to the children at the local orphanage, instantly falling in love with the atmosphere and mission statement the home held. As time continued forward, Delilah would devote as much free time as possible to helping in the orphanage. Eventually, she would be offered the position of Orphanage Director and accept the position.

As the Orphanage Director, Delilah would do everything she could to do right by the children who were in her care. With her previous experience in teaching, she would write lessons for the children and help them with their studies. Through her time at the orphanage, Delilah grew both as an individual and with the family they had created. During her time as Director, she would eventually meet her future husband, Connor Gale, as he was a delivery man sent to bring supplies to the orphanage on a regular basis. The two began to grow fond of one another and would eventually begin their relationship, which would lead to their marriage. Their daughter, Aidan Gale, would eventually be born and live the happiest childhood that the two parents could manage. Delilah would spend a lot of her time at the orphanage, but Connor would stay at home with their young daughter until his untimely passing when she was three years old. After the death of her husband, Delilah would form an even deeper connection with her daughter. The two would trust each other with everything.

Eventually, Aidan would convince Delilah to allow her to volunteer at the orphanage. Her daughter would accompany her and spend time with the other children while she did the work that was required of her as Director. Eventually, this would lead to the young girl forming a relationship with a young boy who was in the care of the orphanage. This would lead to Aidan beginning to keep secrets and lose the trust that she once had in her mother. Delilah is at a loss when her daughter runs away from home and there is nothing she can do to save her.

## Relationships

#### Aidan Gale

Delilah and Aidan have an interesting parental relationship, beginning with a place of trust, which eventually becomes strained. When her daughter is born, Delilah loves her more than anything in the world. She would do anything for her little girl until she eventually slips away from her. During the time when they are apart, she never stops thinking about her daughter, trying to determine how she wronged her and set her on the path where she landed. Eventually, the two would reconnect when Delilah receives a letter from the daughter she had not heard from in years. While she is working at the orphanage one day, Aidan would arrive and the two would begin their reconciliation, breaking down the walls and rebuilding a home together.
