Long russet brown hair, often styled into a strict braid-bun for public outings; in more private settings, she leaves it loose. Delia takes immense pride in her looks, necessitating hours of preparation when presenting herself to the public, and following a strict diet and exercise regime. As a result, she's also not as dainty as her appearance suggests, her body lithe yet sturdy - the body of an athlete, if the said athlete was also a model in her spare time. In terms of wardrobe, she's been given nothing but the best. Publicly she prefers to wear dresses and though the designs vary, the colors involved are consistent: dark blue, red, and gold - The national colors of her Empire. In private, she prefers clothes that are more comfortable, such as dressing gowns or robes.

She has a strict set of beliefs that she does not easily compromise. As critical as she is with others, so she is to herself - an overachiever and an unforgiving taskmaster, she will work herself - not to mention others - rigorously to ensure that her standards are met. Most find that those that do no meet them often find her to be as unforgiving as she is stubborn. Conservative in her beliefs but nonetheless her revolutionary blood shows itself clearly; traditions that stand in the way of her Empires prosperity are easily thrown away. Her single-minded pursuit of her goals have earned her a reputation for ruthlessness and fears that she may become a tyrant worse than her father. It is difficult to get on her good side, but those that do find that she is a stalwart and loyal ally. Though not exactly "friendly", she nevertheless is defensive and more compliant with those she considers allies. Even [i]more[/i] difficult than earning her goodwill is her friendship. Those that earn earn her friendship will find that she is trusting to an almost naive degree, and may even find themselves graced with one of her rare smiles. Of course, on the flip-side, it is startlingly easy to earn her enmity - provided one pushes the right buttons, and nothing irritates her more intensely than the shirking of ones responsibilities.[/INDENT] [color=skyblue][b]๐Ÿ’Ž๐“›๐“ฒ๐“ด๐“ฎ๐“ผ + ๐““๐“ฒ๐“ผ๐“ต๐“ฒ๐“ด๐“ฎ๐“ผ[/b] โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•[/color] [INDENT]Likes: + Spicy food + Classical music + Books (of the trashy romance kind) + Discipline + Exercise + Success + Being praised + Hardwork + Ice-cream Dislikes: - Cheaters - Liars - Irresponsibility - Marshmallows - Tabloids - Gossip - Failure - Coffee & Tea w/milk[/INDENT] [color=skyblue][b]๐Ÿ’Ž๐“‘๐“ฒ๐“ธ๐“ฐ๐“ป๐“ช๐“น๐“ฑ๐”‚[/b] โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•[/color] [INDENT] The darling daughter of the Emperor of Megara. She was born into an era where chaos had ended, but its death throes still left lasting effects on a ravaged kingdom. She was not raised as a typical royal - though she was not poor, and in fact was as wealthy as royalty was expected to be - spending on frivolities was impossible, not while all the money was being funneled into the stabilizing of what would soon prove to be a fledgling Empire. As such, she spent much of her youth in the company of the lowborn, her subjects, particularly soldiers, who passed through the palace 24/7. This ground her to the reality of what the denizens of what would be her Empire had faced, and would face, should they once again be brought low. This, combined with the accomplishments of her practically legendary parents, taught her that leaders - in particular, [i]royals[/i] must be different from commoners. [i]Noblesse Oblige[/i] was not merely a code of conduct, it was a fact of life for her, a natural consequence of royalty being better than all others. Her drive to improve the livelihood of her subjects did not go unnoticed, and at 9 years old she was made to shadow palace officials and watch them work. By age 11 she was tasked with assisting with their work. By the time she hit her teenage years, she was given a place as a ranking official - though her regular schooling continued, albeit she . By the time she hit 17, she was given the rank of General Logothete, with personal power and jurisdiction over the taxation and funds of the entire Empire. Accusations of cronyism would not have been unexpected at this point - the teenaged daughter of the Emperor put in charge of the money? It would seem like blatant corruption to the uninformed - however, those that had worked with her noted her sterling record, and her unnatural drive to succeed. Coupled with a prodigious talent with numbers, she was every bit as capable as those 20 years her senior. Her improvements to the laws and process of licencing for business in particular endeared her to the masses, who greatly benefited from the influx of local businesses and job opportunities. Nevertheless, her sterling record is not without its blackmarks - her increased taxes on Muslim-owned businesses have earned her a considerable number of detractors, as well as her diverting the budget to military expenditure. In time, the invitation to Aciras, as well as her intended betrothal, were made public. Her reaction to the announcement was debate with her father on who should take her place in the government.
