Delilah
Miss Ramlethal... Could you tell me my brother's story? I want to know what Romeo's been through.
― Delilah to Ramlethal Valentine[src]
Delilah is a minor character within the Guilty Gear series. The younger sister of Bedman, she presumably makes a brief appearance in the Story Mode for Guilty Gear Xrd -REVELATOR- as Unknown Girl. Delilah makes her full appearance in Guilty Gear -Strive-'s Another Story. She made her playable debut in Strive as a DLC character, alongside her brother's bedframe. She and the frame are under the name Bedman?.
Design
Delilah shares an identical look with her brother, having screws implanted on her with "Deja Vu" written onto them. She shares some noticeable differences though, such as an upward facing orange arrow alongside short, green hair. Delilah appears to currently be sleep-deprived due to her recent awakening.
Personality
What Delilah's personality is like is unknown currently. The Universal Will did state that she smiles in an identical manner to Bedman, leaving the impression that they "don't have a care in the world". Although not shown, Delilah appears to greatly care for her late brother, with her only motive being to get revenge for her brother's death.[2]
Due to just waking up recently, Delilah is lacking in common sense and social skills, similar to her brother.
Story
Background
Little is known about her, but it has been stated that she shares similar intelligence and abilities to Bedman's. Thus, Delilah also in turn suffers the same condition as him, as her body is unable to keep up with her brain's exceptional intellect and abilities, and has been living in a dream since birth.[2] She seems to have had different circumstances growing up compared to her brother, as Bedman told Axl that that Delilah is unable to fully recall their mother's appearance as well as never feeling "the warmth of another human" during their conversation. At some point in the past, her mind and body retreated into the realm of the Backyard. She is the main motivation behind Bedman's desire to create an Absolute World.
Guilty Gear Xrd
Following Bedman's defeat and the Universal Will leaving Illyria, an unknown girl can be seen looking at what remains of him. It is not shown what the unknown girl does after this.
Guilty Gear -Strive-
Three weeks later,[3] Delilah somehow meets Chipp Zanuff, Anji Mito,[4] and Baiken.[5] During their first meeting, Baiken identifies with Delilah's plight, which resembles her past self, while Delilah believes in her, becoming some sort of 'teacher' for her.[5] On Delilah's behalf, Chipp and Anji get involved in a highway incident to confront Happy Chaos, who is the source for Delilah's ire.[4] Later on, Chipp reveals to his allies during the G4 Summit who Chaos is in order to stop him.[6]
While traveling with Baiken, the two overhear a radio broadcast about Chaos' attack on the G4 Summit, which sends Delilah into a blind rage. She initiates an ultra-high-density information field in preparation to teleport to the White House and get her revenge against the man she believes killed her brother. However, through the collaboration of Baiken, Ramlethal Valentine, Sin Kiske, Faust, and the Jellyfish Pirates, Delilah is calmed down before she unleashes the information field, which would have otherwise annihilated a nearby town. Baiken persuades Delilah to join her and the two both give up their revenge, becoming traveling partners. She also recovers Bedman?, the remains of her brother's mechanized bed, which accompanies her to keep her out of danger.
