Gender: Demale

Birthday: December 31, 1999

Face claim: Abby Ross

Family/Housemates: Mary Daffrey (mom)

Address: 54/A Portland Street, Barfield

Personality: Della's not that much of a talker. She's introverted, enclosed, and hard to warm up to. She's not really one to break the ice, but when she senses that a moment is too awkward, she'll make a move to start a conversation. This action can usually be seen as slightly uncomfortable for her, as she doesn't isn't usually a chatterbox.

Once she opens up to someone, Della is a pure energy ball. She'll spill her guts to anybody she trusts. She'll make them laugh, kill them with bad puns, and put a smile on their face. This is a rare occurrence, due to situations where people have taken advantage of her for this.

History:Della was born to Mary Daffrey and her boyfriend when they were 17. They had gotten drunk at a party and slept together. Unbeknownst to the her boyfriend, Mary was pregnant. When he found out, he was scared of the responsibility and commitment, and dumped Mary. Mary carried on to give birth to Della when she was in her senior year and promptly dropped out of high school due to the stress of being a mother and a student.

Because her mother never got a diploma, the pair struggled financially. Della's mother would bounce around from job to job, with no support from her own parents, who barely had enough money to support themselves. Della eventually got used to having one meal a day, which was basically the best case scenario. This carried on for years until Della was 4. Her mother soon found an adequate paying job as a cashier. This is the point when things started to patch up for the both of them.

At school, Della made as much effort as she could, with much encouragement from her mother to have a better future. She'd have little time for socializing, as she'd promptly walk home after school to help her mother with whatever it is that she needs help with. Della never true friends and when she thought she did, they took advantage of her and only used her to do their homework.

One day, Della came home and saw her mother stressed out over bills. This sent a chilling thought to her hear, "What if they couldn't pay the bills and get kicked out of their apartment?" This made Della worry a lot. Pretty soon, she came up with an idea. Since the only thing her classmates want out of her is for her to boost their grades, she could use that to her advantage. She saw an ad to work as a tutor at a library near her school for people who signed up, in her age range or lower. She immediately took up this offer and now goes there everyday, making money as people pay little by little for her sessions. This was a great idea, with more money coming in to support her and her mother, even if it's just a little bit.

They currently live in a two bedroom apartment in Barfield, making the most of what they have.
