Delia Heartsong

Biography
A twenty-six year-old tinkerer and talented Scrap Hunter whose only link to her past are the teachings of her sister and cousin, a mysterious pendant left behind by her mother, and a letter she received from her missing father days before the story begins. She lives with her small family near a cliff overlooking the Marlborough Gorge, just outside the city of the same name. She's talented, capable of fending for herself in the harshes of the desert and has earned her keep as a scavenger for scrap-machine parts leftover from the war. She is sharp-witted, independent, and mostly good-natured. This is not to say she won't bend her morality to get by, or use whatever means at her disposal to survive.

She is a decent ventriloquist but a pathetic marksman (unlike her sister), utilizing her wits to coax opponents into extreme close range of her pistol--whenever she can't simply evade a threat with her quick-thinking or run the hell away. Dee typically eschews social standards, intent on making her own stand in life. As such, she comes off as snarky and sometimes irritable, although those who know her would paint a much more forgiving picture of a very warm-hearted girl who works hard and always tries her hardest at the things she chooses to commit to. While she claims to not be proficient in any one particular thing, her technical insight and extremely keen attention to detail has led some to believe she has an almost super-natural ability to assess a dire situation with a level head and act accordingly. More often than not, her skill as a tactician has saved the Hero Party from some rather unsavory predicaments.

Attributes
Delia is very street-wise and described by some as a living lie-detector, very skilled at reading between the lines. She is frighteningly cunning whenever a situation requires, but this is often held in check by her general disinterest in doing anything she views as unnecessary or a waste of her time - a category 75% of the people she comes across are typically filed under.

While she is not a particularly powerful combatant, Delia can hold her own in a scrap and is very resourceful, able to use her surroundings to her advantage, setting traps for her enemies to play into. After encountering Thirty-three, she unknowingly acquires her own Consequence: Impulse Twitch. It's effect is yet unknown.

It has been noted, also, to some comedic effect, that Delia is remarkably faster on her feet when fleeing - quicker than many of the more trained and fleet-footed members of the Hero Party. Because of this, her older sister claims she has another secret, secondary Consequence known as  'Haul Ass'.
