DELILAH AMES
something has changed within me,
something is not the same
i'm through with playing by the rules of someone else's game
too late for second-guessing, too late to go back to sleep
it's time to trust my instincts
close my eyes and leap!

History: Delilah is the 5th child out of Pierre and Teresa Ames, who were married when they were both 19 in Paris, France. The couple had been together for quite some time, and they adored each other completely, though, Teresa fell pregnant with Kyle, Pierre freaked and left her, forcing Teresa to fend for herself. Luckily, her parents were well-off, and were able to help take care of both her and her baby boy when he was born. The young woman was 21 when she had Kyle, and when she married Pierre about 5 years later, he already had two children, Jacoby and Taylor, two at the time, and Jacoby being three. The two were from his previous wife who had been killed in a horrible car accident, forcing her into labor with Taylor at 36 weeks. Luckily she survived, the baby anyway, but not the woman, who was - coincidentally named Taylor. Settling down, the two married shortly before they had Natalia in the USA so they could get dual-citizenship for the rest of their children. Teresa had always wanted a big family, and with Kyle and Jacoby and Taylor being older, she could keep better eyes on the younger kids. Course, by the time Delilah Chantal was born, Kyle was already about 7 by the time she was born, therefore, Teresa could keep an eye on her and Taylor, who was still very young at the time.
Delilah became the older sister of two others, Henry and Michaela, who she adored taking care off, and still does. Michaela was born when Dee was four, and by the time she was allowed to help out, since Kyle was already about 10 at the time, he easily made sure Delilah and all of his younger silblings were all right. Teresa and Pierre had a good marriage and adored their kids, sending them to the best school, and speaking both French and Spanish in their own house, until they moved to the USA when Delilah was 12. A tidbit, when she moved here, this was when she started to get fully involved more with the arts, she danced (still does, and various styles), as well as drawing, photography and her fighting (martial arts with her younger brother).
Since she moved here when she was 12, she considers herself an American, especially since her mother too is American, and had studied abroad in France and had fallen in love with Pierre then. Either way, Delilah began to adore foreign languages, and therefore, picked the classes up in high school and aced them. Once she graduated, she moved here with her degrees, and takes various courses at the college as well as on-line, though when her shifting gene developed, with her own condo, Delilah only comes out for her job, and to walk her dog and two exotic pets. Either way, Delilah enjoys shifting a lot, she enjoys the thrill of being a fish, or flying high in the sky to get away from life for awhile. Now, now she's just getting by, and plans on staying out of this battle as best she could.
Personality: Dee is the quietest person most people would ever meet in their entire lives. She likes the quieter side of life, if she could, she'd choose to live out in a more rural area, but right now, she's content to where she is, since she knows there's tons of other shape shifters around here, like she is. Delilah is shy yes, but that doesn't mean she won't stick up for herself. She does do it though, in her own way. Instead of vocally inserting her opinion, unless she feels strongly for it, Delilah will prefer to just go ahead and sit there, letting the other person rant and stuff, while she just sits there. The thing is though, Delilah is a bright person, granted she may not seem like it, but she picks up stuff easily, especially other languages. Delilah will enjoy engaging others in conversation, though she would much prefer that they cough up most of the conversation, since she's more prone to answer direction questions than anything, but always maintaining her polite stature. She is extremely polite, but does defy in her own way, usually just by not doing stuff. Though, Delilah will do about anything for her siblings.
Likes: silk, fine chocolate, other languages (she speaks French, Spanish, English, German and working on Russian), animals (she has some pets), learning, music, creativity, good conversations, people who get her shyness, quiet time, reading, writing, exploring, traveling, hiking, biking, diet drinks, sugar, swedish fish candies, lollipops, jogging
Dislikes: tripping, people thinking she's stupid because she hardly talks, not being able to control herself sometimes when she shifts, the thought of drowning, not being able to take care of herself, arrogance, republicans, men who think down on women (she tends to get very irate about this), fake sugar, fake people of both sexes, lies (deception), ruckus, spoiled children who have never had to work for anything
