## **Biography**

### Early Life

> "*Ask me no question and I will answer no lies.*"
> ― Delilah Dawn

>

Delilah Dawn-Potter (née **Hawkins**) (b. 27 December, 1979) was a pure-blood witch, the first youngest child and only daughter of Sirius Black and Ella-Grace Dawn, and came to be one of the most famous witches of modern times.

In what proved to be a vain attempt to circumvent a prophecy, that stated two babies, one who will be born at the end of December of 1979, while the other at the end of July of 1980, thus of December bringing to rest the supernatural conflict and will help thus of July, who could be able to defeat the Dark Lord. Lord Voldemort attempted to murder her when she was three months old, then attempted to murder Harry Potter when he was a year and three months old.

Voldemort murdered Delilah's grandparents as they tried to protect her shortly before attacking Delilah himself. This early, unsuccessful attempt to vanquish Delilah led to Voldemort's mid-fall, the attempt to vanquish Harry only finishing him off, marking the end of the First Wizarding War and to Delilah and Harry henceforth being known as "The Girl and Boy Who Lived".

Eleven months after the loss of her grandparents, Lunae Curator, a Soul-Shifter pack Delilah was a part of, met its demise when the Bloodvenom Nightwalkers and the Sentinel Stalkers, two wild werewolf packs, ambushed their small villa. Two consequences of that tragic night were that the last bit of **Soul-Shifters** left in the entire world became completely extinct, and Delilah was left orphaned in the woods, kidnapped shortly by a family of werewolves, the Adams. Delilah was raised forced to become mute by the Adams in a home where she was neither welcomed nor nurtured but would be rather well protected from Lord Voldemort, at least until she was found out to be alive by Dumbledore, the summer before her twelfth birthday. As the first and one of the only known survivors of the Killing Curse, Delilah, like Harry, was already famous before she arrived at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

In early May, 1988, the Adams left Delilah alone in the attic (her room) of their household; Axel Adams was scheduled to fight against Jason Earle, **Alessia**'s mate, for the title of Alpha in their pack. Alessia Adams, the first daughter and middle child in the Adams family, was one of the only people to really, though secretly, care for Delilah, the second person being her younger sister, Annabelle Adams; Alessia gave Delilah a small jewelry box before leaving with her family for the battle of Alpha power. Later that night, enraged at losing the Alpha position to Jason, Axel, who had been rather psychotically infatuated with Delilah since their first meet, got home and attempted to take her last bit of innocence, only succeeding in temporarily marking her, the act triggering her first transformation.

After leaving her there, in his father's office, practically bleeding to death, Delilah found herself going through her first phase into her first soul animal, a black wolf; the Alpha within her was enraged that a werewolf— one of a soul guardian's biggest enemies— had marked them. After phasing completely, Delilah ran from the Adams' house and found a tractor-trailer truck Driver, Tom Brooks, who took her to Bellefaire Orphanage, in Cleveland. There, she met the owner, Miss Kathie, and, though she remained mute, she met some other kids her age she got close to— Ami, Izzy, Jacob, and Jonah— close enough to consider friends, though she does not see them as such until a few years later. She stayed in Bellefaire for the next three years, phasing into her second soul animal throughout her time there— a black fox.

### Hogwarts

Four months before her birthday, Delilah learned that, apart from being a Soul-Shifter, she was also a witch. 'Hired' to become Harry Potter's Curatoria, Delilah began attending Hogwarts in 1991 and was subsequently sorted into Gryffindor, having chosen the house herself as the sorting hat was rendered undecisive on account of her supernatural nature.
When Delilah officially began her first year at Hogwarts, she vowed to remain at Harry's side as much as she could, eventually making an unlikely friend out of the boisterous Ron. Still very reserved, unnaturally quiet and mute as ever, Delilah went about practically unnoticed, unless she made some heroic act that always shifted everyone's attention back to her, much like so happened on the first years' first broom-flying class with Madam Hooch.

The friendship between the golden quartet blossomed in their very first year when a troll had been let into the school and terrorized the students, nearly killing Hermione in the girls' bathroom, the latter who was ultimately saved by Ron, Harry, and Delilah. Eventually, as time came to pass, the quartet went on to do some research upon coming to the obvious conclusion that someone was trying to kill Harry.

While at school, Delilah became best friends with Harry Potter himself, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, and later became the youngest Quidditch Chaser ever, along with Harry, who became the youngest Quidditch Seeker in over a century and eventually captain of his house's team, winning two Quidditch Cups.

Their search had led them to believe that it was Professor Snape who had been plotting to eliminate the boy, but in the end, putting discovering what lay beyond the trap door beneath Fluffy, Rubeus Hagrid's three-headed Cerberus dog, the quartet came to find it was actually Professor Quirrell, who was a close liaison to the evil wizard Voldemort, who was still very much alive, much to the disbelief of the rest of the world who thought him dead after having been defeated, years before, by Harry himself.

She and Harry became even better in their early years for protecting the Philosopher's Stone from Voldemort and saving Ron's sister Ginny Weasley from the Chamber of Secrets. In their fourth year, Delilah won the NeoWigan Tournament while Harry won the Triwizard Tournament, although the double competition ended in tragedy with the death of
Cedric Diggory and the return of Lord Voldemort and Catriona Dawn,
Delilah's doppelgänger. The next school year, Delilah became possessed by Catriona. The few time that she managed to remain in control of
herself, however, she reluctantly taught and led Dumbledore's Army,
alongside Harry, and fought in the Battle of the Department of
Mysteries, during which she sacrificed herself to save her biological
father, Sirius Black, unexpectedly showing Catriona's soul out of her
body, giving her life anew.

## Personality

> "*"She's the kind of girl who accepts other people's feelings so obliviously wholehearted. She has... a slightly unusual way of looking at things so that she doesn't get crushed by having so much empathy, but it's like she just can't help it. She can't help but feel other people's pain and want to change it so that they don't suffer as badly as she did."*"
> ― Seth Dawn's description of Delilah[source]
>
>

She is reclusive, quiet, at times insecure but kindhearted, compassionate and caring towards others. Having learned to take care of herself and others she'd come to care about over the years and being naturally responsible, Delilah had developed into a very mature person, especially for her age. She's the kind of girl who accepts other people's feelings so obliviously wholehearted. She has an unusual way of looking at things so that having so much empathy doesn't hurt her much, even though it's really inevitable for her. It's hard for her not feel other people's agony and want to step- in and help so that they don't suffer as badly as she did.

She prefers to keep her thoughts and feelings to herself and hates when someone tries to understand her because she knows she wouldn't be understood right. Though she normally has a good mood climate, she often loses control over her emotions due to her holding it all in for so long until she explodes, pushing her to instant-transmission herself to an empty area, which would usually be the La Push beach as she became attached to it ever since she was adopted by Kenton Turnbull, and shift into, either one of her soul animals, or her wolf (as a shifter).

She has a habit of biting her lip, which she later on shares with her brother and mother. She has a sarcastic sense of humor, especially when she gets mad. She is also very brave, able to block painful thoughts and memories, and tends to come face-to-face with life-threatening danger head-on, even though she can get scared later. She puts Harry (Hermione and the Weasleys, and Seth after she meets him, along with her uncle Daren and aunt Clarisse, and some other people you'll know further on), first and foremost, before herself and everybody and everything else.

What would be considered as her tragic flaws are: her lack of self-knowledge, which is noted in her consistent denial of any romantic feelings for anyone due to her previously losing her mate and never really knowing what romantic love is until she was thirteen, but still not understanding it fully until later on. Then, there is her readiness to forgive; sometimes she is too blind to realize that she's forgiving a lost cause because she believes anyone could be redeemed, like she was.

In the first three books, she is a very bad liar, though, due to the fact that she had never spoken before, her word, true or false, was believed.

She has no sense of fear when it comes to facing creatures for what they are; her fear only spikes up a tad bit at what they could do, but it's mostly directed toward herself as she knows she could end up acting recklessly out of impulse and make a mess. She is very perceptive to some degree, as she is able to figure things out quicker than most people, even the smartest, as she finds out about the diary, Tom Riddle and the basilisk way before Hermione or anyone else for that matter. However, she was not able to anticipate that Tom would get to her through Ginny and even go as far as using the redhead to temporarily erase Delilah's memories.

Mostly due to her sense of responsibility, she denies it, but she is quite adventurous. Though limited her time was with the Starlight Pack and the Turnbull family, Delilah eventually becomes more valiant, courteous, dignified, easy-going, humorous, outgoing, headstrong, free-spirited, relaxed, bold, sly, scheming, sassy, quick-witted, quick-thinking, and sensible.
