Delia/Relationships

Dirk is a new orphan for the orphan who suffers the Devouring, much like Myne. Myne tells her to take good care of him as her older sister, sparking Delia's caring nature to take over. Though not related by blood, Delia loves her little brother Dirk and doesn't want to be separated from him. She wants to protect him and be there for him. Delia's loyalty and love toward Dirk is absolute and unbreakable, as both his older sister and his caretaker. Even moving to her most hated place, the Orphanage, is not as bad with Dirk at her side.

Hugo and Ella were Myne's chefs and now work under Lady Rozemyne. Delia sometimes giving cooking directions in the kitchen, especially during the Orphanage's reconstruction to keep it secret from Bezewanst.

To serve Bezewanst, the highest authority of the temple, as a mistress is Delia's greatest desire. She sees him less as a person and more as the position, and is somewhat grateful to him for taking he rout of the Orphanage at first. Before the circumstances of Myne's death, she naively trusts and is loyal to Bezewanst, though she does keep information from him when it suits her, like protecting the orphanage. As his loyal spy, Delia does her best to fulfil his wishes. After the events, Delia is shocked by Bezewanst's betrayal of trust.

Delis thinks little of the commoner apprentice blue shrine maiden, Myne, at first, preferring to serve Bezewanst over her. As she continues to get to know Myne, her disrespect merges to a grudging thankfulness thanks to Myne's many gifts and education she gives as well as her saving the orphans. However, hearing that Myne is giving Dirk up for adoption makes her betray Myne in favor of her loyalty to Bezewanst, only to be actually betrayed by him. When Myne saves her from death, giving her the opportunity to care for Dirk even if it means going back to the orphanage, she becomes eternally loyal to Myne.

Delia has a rivalry with Gil. They compete in learning how to read and write. Delia gets along with Gil, as their rivalry isn't serious, and does ask him for help when she read's Sister Myne's Picture Book.

At first Delia dislikes Rosina due to her not doing her fair share of work, not listening to Fran and playing through the night, keeping her awake. Once Myne sorts out the problems, Delia grows to respect Rosina's poise and harspiel playing.

Delia, thanks to growing up alongside the Bezewanst, mistrusts Ferdinand, seeing him as a menace and a danger. She does not value him or see him highly, even complaining that he finds joy in tearing families apart.
