When she speaks, [http://youtu.be/ONLE1ZXe-S8 <span style="color:#6f373a;"> her voice</span>] is fairly deep and has a touch of that breathy quality to it, a feature she tends to exaggerate when speaking with people she does not know very well. Despite being a Highlander, she does not speak with the expected Highlander dialect but with the sharper, clipped tones that speak to heavy exposure to Imperial influence. It can come off as forced, however, as she almost never slips into anything less than a formal vocabulary and rarely speaks with slang. She does not seem fond of vulgarity so it is a rare thing to ever hear her swear. | When she speaks, [http://youtu.be/ONLE1ZXe-S8 <span style="color:#6f373a;"> her voice</span>] is fairly deep and has a touch of that breathy quality to it, a feature she tends to exaggerate when speaking with people she does not know very well.

<div>To say Roen and Delial have had their ups and downs would be severely understating the nature of their relationship. Delial has done a great many wrongs against the girl and her family and, to some extent, her friends... Yet fate would have it that they would return to one another for aid or advice time and time again. Perhaps it is guilt that makes her so intent on protecting Roen? Her current involvement remains with trying to dissuade Roen and her friends from involvement with Nero Lazarov. That, however, has proven fruitless as the Delial has learned that she has been taken captive by Taeros' own pet Crofte. It cannot be said if Delial is sympathetic.</div><br> | <div>To say Roen and Delial have had their ups and downs would be severely understating the nature of their relationship.

− | <div>As with Roen, Delial's history with Gharen has been full of blood and pain. Yet by some miracle she herself cannot fully understand, Gharen Wolfsong seems to have forgiven her.

you will beg before her, you will scream; but hera never flinched from the words of a mortal,
so why should she?
do not stand in her way. she will burn down your kingdoms, herself with it, if it meant your ruin.❞

In the mean time, check out that magnificent resting bitch face.
HOT DANG.

Those keen enough to notice would note that the marks are not permanent and seem to be reapplied very regularly just as if they were warpaint. Those with particularly keen senses might catch scents of blood among other plant-based scents.
Delial usually dresses quite modestly, favoring long flowing robes that better give her a more pleasing silhouette. Her most prized piece may very well be her well-work thighboots, expertly crafted from fine Gyr Abanian aldgoat leather. She changes hairstyles fairly often but seems to favor either a loose braid or a more airy feathered look about shoulder length with small beads and charms (bone perhaps?) woven into her locks.
When she speaks, her voice is fairly deep and has a touch of that breathy quality to it, a feature she tends to exaggerate when speaking with people she does not know very well. Despite being a Highlander, she does not speak with the expected Highlander dialect but with the sharper, clipped tones that speak to heavy exposure to Imperial influence. It can come off as forced, however, as she almost never slips into anything less than a formal vocabulary and rarely speaks with slang. She does not seem fond of vulgarity so it is a rare thing to ever hear her swear.
Lately, she has taken a bit of a limp.
When the civil war hit, Delial took to the Garlean side of the conflict as a staunch supporter of Gaius van Baelsar and actively hunted groups or single members of the Resistance movement. Ultimately a botched mission would end in her capture and subsequent removal from Ala Mhigo to an undetermined camp in the wilds of Coerthas, where she was to be interrogated and executed. Someone from that particular group might have learned that Delial Grimsong (or Delial Kinslayer as she was also known) still lives. Supporters of the Resistance or around Ul'dah could also become aware of her presence, and of her hand in crippling another cell in Thanalan.
Characters with connection to the Lambs might have heard of her or her mother in particular, or recognize her as having been a part of a sect well into her young adulthood. Though she might not have any solid connection with them at present, there have been things of interest that might draw her back into seeking the Lambs out at least: namely a relic belonging to the leader of her sect, and a treasure she intends to claim for herself.
A few figures in the Ul'dahn criminal scene might have heard her name in connection to a few individuals who tread those circles. It is said she has connection with shady figures in the Monetarist camp in particular, and has little qualms with treachery and murder. By the same coin, she also seems to have connections with several notable members of the Sultansworn and Immortal Flames as well.
A member of the Conjurer's Guild has been missing for many, many moons and there was a woman matching Delial's description who remains suspect in his disappearance. A woman supposedly representing the scholarly pursuits of an old Ul'dahn house of relics and antiquities had been in his company and requested to procure a certain item out of the Conjurer's archives for research - an item of somewhat dubious nature which has also since gone missing. The nature of the item remains undisclosed.
The Highlander is a recurrent figure in the Ul'dahn scene and lately she seems to have taken an interest in the Guild. If asked, the registrar there might vaguely suggest she had been a student of a student before but that her studies had soon been abandoned and the woman had practically vanished from their halls.
There is a free company recently sprung up under the Maelstrom's banner which seems to have her name on the roster. She along with a man known as Saxon Thorne are listed as follows: "adventurers for hire. jobs done with the utmost discretion."
- KINSLAYER: A character inspiration/IC blog. Some NSFW content.
- Grimsong's Mix-Tape: A collection of songs for when I need to be a problematic woman.
- Legacy of Blood: A Resistance cell and the women who hunt them.
- Nothing Without Cost: The sum of everything is you.
