Delta Kristina Tushenko is a sable who was born in western Hazelnut Hills in a mid-high class family on February 21st, 2005. She has an older sister called Tatyana who was born on January 22nd, 2003. Delta is a very elegant ballerina who has mastered pointe techniques and has danced in many roles in various ballets from *Swan Lake*, *The Sleeping Beauty* and *The Nutcracker* by Peter Tchaikovsky, *Gayane* and *Spartacus* by Aram Khachaturian, *The Star of Granada* by Marius Petipa and Cesare Pugni, *A Fairy Tale* by Petipa and Richter, and *Paquita* by Joseph Mazilier, Edward Deldevez and Ludwig Minkus among several others. Delta is also a contortionist who is very supple, and is an excellent all-rounder who mainly does acrobatic stunts, frontbends and splits, but also does backbends, twists and other contortion moves as well. She is voiced by Finty Williams.

## Notable info

Delta got into ballet dancing when she was about three years old after seeing her sister Tatyana dancing ever so elegantly. Delta was taught ballet at home by her mother Pierina and her sister Tatyana. Delta was a super fast learner, excelling in every lesson she had from the stretches and the five basic positions to the advanced positions and the pointe techniques. During this time, even though Delta was stretching to get flexible in her ballet lessons, she was also taught contortion by Tatyana and quickly became super flexible. In 2017, shortly before a big blizzard hit their hometown of Moscow, Delta and the rest of her family emigrated to Birmingham, United Kingdom. About two years later, Tatyana and Delta would meet Alesya for the first time. They would then make Alesya a super elegant ballerina just like them, but during Alesya's first performance, Delta watched her squirrel friend dancing ever so elegantly and accomplishing a very impressive feat - 32 fouettés, 100 grand jetés, ten pirouettes and three arabesque penchés, the latter of which was done while Alesya was twirling. Delta, alongside Alesya's mother Eniko, would also congratulate Alesya for accomplishing such an amazing feat in her ballet performance, and would also attend Alesya's 4th birthday party.

When her sister Tatyana became a prima ballerina, Delta would go on to become a very accomplished sable who is very capable of doing what she does best.

In an early concept, Delta was originally going to have brown fur, until her fur colour got changed to grey.

Delta's English actress, Finty Williams, also voiced Angelina Mouseling in the 2001 *Angelina Ballerina* TV series.

When hugging someone, Delta will often wrap her tail around an individual.
