#delia mclaine

[fridgefeet]

Delia is from a story I've been developing on the backburner of my mind since 2022. Since this year I started making Visage of Sweet Love, and that aforementioned making involves me keeping my head down - making layouts and drawing, with little to no brainstorming and story planning, I needed something to put THAT brand of energy into! So! Delia's story (titled Rage Damsel) has been upgraded to more of a frontburner position (at least in terms of position in my brain, the plan is to pursue the story more seriously following Visage of Sweet Love's conclusion).

Delia works as a co-assistant manager at an alternative clothing store called Obfuscated Adolescence, a job she has recently learned she won't have in a year, given the mall it's located inside of is closing. Hopefully you'll learn more about her in time!
