[sub][b][color=#2CF88B]LIKES[/color][/b][/sub]
Music, not just the vague catchall but as a concept. No genre left out, no instrument overlooked, music is all around and everywhere and she likes it all. | Peanut butter cookies. Chocolate chip cookies are for basics and raisin cookies are for criminals. | Live theater, especially musicals. Movies just seem so overly fake. Cartoon movies are okay. | Roller coasters. Ferris wheels are too slow and water rides suck because you're wet all day. Roller coasters have people screaming in joy, which is music to the ears.

[sub][b][color=#2CF88B]DISLIKES[/color][/b][/sub]
Puzzles like crosswords or sudoku or whatever. Who wants to spend time doing puzzles like that? | Moshing. It's not dancing, it's violent punching and headbanging and she wishes everyone involved gets concussions. | Cover songs where the only change is the singer | Socks with sandals. Sandals in general really. Put shoes on. | Mushrooms. If there's fungus on the plate, the entire plate is going in the garbage.

[sub][b][color=#2CF88B]STRENGTHS[/color][/b][/sub]
[sub]While some might consider it a bad thing, Delphi has the incredible ability to get whatever she wants; sometimes that is as easy as asking her parents, other times she has to play the tantrum or puppy dog eyes. No one can really explain it, and it's not magical, but people find it hard to say no to Delphi even if they resist at first. Of course this has made her somewhat spoiled but for the most part her asks have never been too outrageous that it's a huge deal, but it's only a matter of time before that changes. To her credit, she does put in the effort to make sure whatever she asked for actually comes out well so it's not her just wasting everyone's time. Not deliberately anyway. 

Arguably her greatest strength, though, is her ear for music. Delphi is obsessed with music and sound to the point where she taught herself how to read music even though she doesn't play an instrument, though she is teaching herself piano and violin inbetween flute and clarinet. She's not exactly great at playing them herself yet but that hasn't stopped her from being able to conceive of compositions and put sounds and concepts together. She knows what sounds good and she takes inspiration from everywhere. Where someone hears wind in the trees, Delphi hears a serenade. Where someone hears a truck blowing its horn, Delphi hears a dirge. It's uncanny how Delphi has never heard a sound she hasn't liked. 

In keeping with her ability to get what she wants, Delphi has a strange passion for seeing things done. If she asks for permission to do something, she will get it done and often focus so much on it that the rest of her well being suffers for it. She is driven and focused and her obsession with perfecting everything she does would be more hurtful if she wasn't also aware of the need to take mental days. Her strength is her passion, the downside is her passions tend to fall outside the wheelhouse of things that people in her community tend to care about - because they are so often in the wheelhouse of the normal mortals. 

Some people consider the fact that Delphi is hard of hearing in her left ear and that she has to use a hearing aid to be a weakness. Delphi doesn't. She sees it as a badge of honor. In her words: "The greatest composer of music in history was deaf. Why would I let this stop me from taking his title?" Her hearing difficulties were self inflicted. When she was younger, she heard about the deaf composer and figured she had to be just like him to be better than him and so intentionally tried to make herself deaf. She was stopped by her siblings but cried about it and it made their parents think hear aural issues were caused by her siblings. They got in so much trouble.

[sub]Delphi is not an especially talented witch most aspects of being a witch. She is good at the element of wind because sound is vibration through a medium and the most common expression of such is air. In matters of elemental pursuits she is fine, but in everything else she doesn't seem to care and she believes the fact that she comes from old money and old blood gives her a safety net to not take other studies so seriously. 

Delphi likes to get her way and if she doesn't she will sulk. She has the mindset of someone who has never really struggled because she is rather spoiled. Failure at things she has a passion for turns her into a deep, deep depression; the longest lasted about two years when she was twelve and that was just her not getting picked for a holiday jingle contest. A contest she spent ten weeks on. For twenty seconds of work. She tends to rush into ideas with her whole chest, for better and worse. 

Growing up with siblings and an extended family always doting on her and giving her attention has made Delphi anything but independent. She needs attention. She craves it. She needs people to talk to her, to pat her on the head, to take an interest, even if just pretending, in what she does or is doing. Delphi doesn't act out for attention, but she craves it all the same.

[sub]The only vampires Delphi is interested in are the ones who have been around long enough to know the famous classical musicians of human history. If they haven't been around that long or have no interest, then she sees them no differently from anyone else. They're fine? 

She can't tell who is or isn't a werewolf when they're in human form unless they tell her but she figures the werewolves are just like big dogs so she prefers them in that form. Kind of like a support animal. An overgrown puppy. She figures most werewolves hate that but she doesn't care. 

Her favorite supernatural entity are sirens because of their affinity for singing. The voice is as much a musical tool as an actual physical instrument. She loves the sirens and wants to befriend them and see if they can do an opera or a choir. 

She has no real thoughts on witches and wizards beyond her family, but she does like the regular mortals who don't have the luxury of magic at their disposal. Delphi would give up magic in an instant if it meant she could accomplish her goals. 

It goes without saying but anyone who has musical ability regardless of their status as supernatural or whatever goes right to the top of Delphi's approval meter. [/sub]

Delphi is the youngest child of the Graves family, a wealthy family of witches and wizards whose history goes back centuries. As the youngest, Delphi had both a sheltered and spoiled upbringing, one that she thrived in, even if it did give her somewhat unrealistic expectations going into adulthood - namely that everyone outside her family would accept her eccentricities or give in to her demands. Delphi was never really punished as a kid but neither did she intentionally get her siblings into trouble. Other than the ear incident, but that wasn't intentional on Delphi's part. 

Her obsession with sound and music came from a young age where she watched a cartoon movie where a mouse did magic and made brooms come to life. She had never seen such a combination before, of music and magic, the latter of which was something she grew up around given her family. She didn't know magic could be used in such a way and ever since she plunged herself into the symphony of life. Her parents bought her a piano after she begged and begged. Delphi still hasn't learned it but she at least can do more than just the scales which is something. Her siblings had their own focuses, Delphi had hers but it was Delphi who was seen as strange and weird by grandparents and uncles and aunts because of how unrelated to magic it was. 

Over time her parents became more and more concerned with Delphi's passions and less and less subtle with their suggestions that it was time to leave the 'phase' behind. They hoped that Hawthorne and her siblings would help her focus on the more important aspects of their kind, but for the most part her siblings seem content to let Delphi be Delphi - something to which she is incredibly thankful even if they still bully her in the loving way siblings do. As she enters this more independent phase of her life, Delphi isn't quite sure how her life is going to go, but she is just going to do what her heart tells her.
