Outwardly, around anyone she doesn’t know, Delilah is warm, soft, and so very friendly. She’s poised and every little movement has great thought behind it but is always smooth and graceful. It’s what models need to be, so she tells herself. To some, this may seem off putting or fake and it very much is so. It’s an exhausting act and every social event is properly prepared for with lots of sleep and reading before and after. She sees every new person as someone for her to win over, someone to help potentially further the career her parents have laid out for her. How will she make money if people don’t know her name?

But for those she finds herself fully comfortable around, or those who catch her on an off moment, Delilah is shy and bookish. She can be found tucked behind a bookshelf, eyes scanning pages thoroughly and urgently, desperate to know where the story goes. She’d found that fantasy was so much better than her reality.

Both sides of Delilah share the strong desire to please people and will do anything asked of her by those she trusts and values most. In this, she can also be painfully naive, always thinking people have her best interest at heart when that has rarely been the case.


Likes - Taking selfies, taking photos with her polaroid camera which she’s magically modified, sour sugary or savory candies, salty foods,
Dislikes - getting less than top marks in her classes, people being better at things than her
Habits - always wearing makeup, does different facemasks every other day, reads or does homework while she does these things,
Fears - unhappy parents, that her life will continue to be boring and exhausting for her
Aspirations - Thinks she wants to be famous and make a lot of money, but it’s what her parents want; to be happy; to have a personal library with one of those fancy sliding ladders
Strengths - very good at makeup, finding new ways to wear old things,
Weaknesses - perfectionist, naive, chocolate salty caramel cake *mmm*

On October twenty second of the year two thousand and eighty two, a beautiful baby girl was born to Vincent Biala and Malaya Gonzaga. They were less than thrilled. So much so, that a nurse granted the child her name. A baby was not in the cards, you see, as they could barely support themselves. Money was short, food was short, bills weren’t paid, the debts continued to pile.

Once Delilah was two, her parent’s discovered, what they would call, her worth. While shopping one evening on a bonus her mother had collected, a woman stopped them and handed Malaya a business card to look over while she inspected Delilah. Soon after, there were appointments and test photos, headshots and model classes. Delilah was making more money than the two of them by her pretty face alone.

Vincent and Malaya took advantage of this. Greedily, they forced Delilah into photoshoots and small commercials, pulling in money and taking it all for themselves. They could finally feed themselves without counting the coins and moved out of the caravan and into a proper home. Delilah didn’t mind. She’d always been a happy young girl and would do anything to see her parents stop arguing and smile. The more she worked, the more she got the reactions out of them that she’d always wanted, the more she felt part of a proper family. Before long, that became her truth. She was a bright girl, full of smiles, perfect pouts, and flawless skin. The purest girl that ever lived, she couldn’t allow herself to disappoint them. Not ever. Unfortunately, no one ever told her that being perfect was so exhausting…

Life was great, life was grand, all until Delilah turned eleven. On that day, the Biala’s would lose their precious moneymaker to a foreign school. From there on, the man and woman scrambled to submit their daughter to as many casting calls as they could. But it wouldn’t be enough. Not only were they losing months of potential income to a school they didn’t understand, but she was growing in age and losing out to younger kids. Before long, the pair couldn’t stand it. They could no longer afford to pay for their home, their new precious lifestyle and a rash decision was made during the summer after Delilah’s fourth year. She was dumped at Stemp House with a trunk and a promise to return to her after a mummies and daddies only vacation.

But they’d never return.

Years One Through Four [Durmstrang] - Magic was everything Delilah hoped. Home was tiring and busy and her parents worked her to the bone, but she never complained. All she ever wanted to do was please them. But at Durmstrang, away from their talons, she shrunk away from everyone, that open friendly exterior melted away. She didn’t know who to be without their instruction, without their watchful eyes. She found herself holed up in the library reading everything and anything she could get her hands on. Tales of princes and princesses, love, adventures to far away lands and so many things that she could only ever find in books. It was all so different from her reality. Letters were sent home about her unusual behavior, how days would go by without anyone seeing her and soon she realized that even there, she had to plaster the facade back on. Perfect. Smiling. Sociable.

Every summer she’d come home and little things were different, things started to go missing around the house. Big important things like televisions, computers, things that could be sold. She started hiding her favorites away in her trunk, her polaroid camera never left her side while home. In her gut, she knew things were getting bad again. But she couldn’t figure out how to fix it.
