Delta

Delta (デルタ) (Δέλτα), formerly known as Sara (サラ), is the fourth member of Shadow Garden, being one of the original "Seven Shadows". As a Beastkin Wolf, she serves as the organization's main combat force but lacks any other noteworthy talents.

Description
''The fourth member of the Seven Shadows. Her incredible fighting abilities stand out even within the Seven Shadows, but her fighting style is rough and causes total destruction to both people and objects. ~Crunchyroll''

Appearance
Delta is a beautiful teenage girl with long black hair and with large wolf ears on top of her head. She sports purple eyes. Her body is a slender build with an ample bosom. As a Beastkin race, Delta possesses the species' natural traits which are her large wolf ears and a thick tail.

In her daily life, she wears a dark suit with long-sleeved clothes around her neck and opens in her stomach, a pair of gloves, shorts combined with stockings, and a pair of shoes.

When serving in the Shadow Garden, she wore a customary slime bodysuit with black and bronze decorations on the shoulder, stomach, and thighs. The setting was open in her stomach and wore feather accessories around her neck. Sometimes she wears a mask to protect her original identity.

Personality
"I'm good at hunting."

- Delta

By the common personality of any Beastkin, Delta is often described as a musclehead and depicted as excitable and immature, akin to a child. She also refers to herself in the third person. Delta deeply loves her master, even going as far as to hug him on every occasion they meet. She also doesn't mind the idea of mating with him and sharing him with her fellow Shadow Garden members. She and Gamma have had a rivalry ever since they were children, but they nonetheless care for one another.

As a member of Shadow Garden, Delta loves fighting. She is shown to be merciless and sadistic towards enemies, leaving none of them alive. This makes her dangerous, as she will go overboard in brutality and even unnerve her master and her comrades. This is a trait of Beastkin, who will follow the strongest life form, regarding them as their leader when Delta acknowledges only strength and she swearing loyalty to Shadow in awe of his overwhelming power. Hence, she had no qualms about killing her brother, Leaf Four whom she regarded as weak. However, it's implied Delta does not believe in all of the Beastkin customs, as she deeply hates her pack for exiling her.

Delta was once a sweet girl looking after her sick mother. Unfortunately, she suffered nothing but abuse from her father and siblings and after her mother died, her personality radically becomes changed into a bloodthirsty wild beast.

Delta seems to have little sense of shame, and when the slime body suit melted due to the magical power being sealed in the battle in Sanctuary, she barely hid her private parts in a bikini armor-like state and continued the battle. Even after the Lindwurm event, she did not fix her slime bodysuit and was left in a bikini armor-like state.

Powers & Abilities
Delta is the third-strongest member of Shadow Garden, behind only Alpha and Shadow. She has been noted by Cid to be the physically strongest of the "Seven Shadows", with the potential to surpass even Alpha if she would just learn self-control, and possesses excellent tracking skills that surpass even his own. However, she is utterly lacking in any other area, making her only useful for search-and-destroy missions.

Physical Prowess
In terms of raw destructive power, Delta is second only to the Shadow himself, with the only other person known to have defeated her being Alpha. As a Beastkin, she possesses superhuman strength and speed, further augmented by her training since youth, which makes her a highly-effective killer. In a testament to her strength, she killed Juggernaut, one of the Lawless City's three monarchs, with ease.

In the Kage-jitsu episodes, it is shown that Delta can generate a strong air shock wave, just by exerting force from his arm without hitting someone directly, although the wave as such is not harmful to one, it is speculated that it is It would take a lot of raw force just to generate such a wave. This is seen when Delta accidentally breaks the magic absorption nullification artifact, made by Eta which she shows to Alpha.

Apex Body Condition
Delta surprisingly displayed a great degree of stamina, durability, endurance along with vast speed and reflexes.

Super Beastkin Senses
Being a Beastkin belonging to the wolves family, Delta has superior sharpness in her 5 senses, especially in smell, sight, and hearing, which allows her to track, find, see, hunt, and identify prey from a distance, even if they are trying to mask their smell, appearance, or other characteristics. Even Shadow confessed he could never beat Delta in that area, and when he disguised himself as "John Smith" and faced her, it didn't work because Delta immediately recognized him at once using her sense of smell which is very good that she can easily see through her master's disguises, even though he takes precautions attempt by masking his scent so as not to be identified.

Brutal fighter
Delta's hand-to-hand combat style is very simple, yet savage and brutal. Like any member of her race, she uses her claws and fangs to attack like a full-fledged wolf. She has also allegedly been trained in other skills and fighting styles, though it is likely that she does not need them.

Swordsmanship wild
Alexia Midgar described Delta's fencing style as "raw violence". While her technique is only on the level of an average knight, being a Beastkin, she does not require more effort than simply swinging her sword around, her raw strength more than making up for it. She has shown to be able to easily slice an entire building in half.

Hunter's Frenzy
When there are enemies to hunt, especially against strong and/or numerous enemies, Delta goes into a frenzy which causes her to become much more aggressive and fierce. Delta likely exhibits a stronger and more brutal form of this ability than the rest of her family, since she had to learn to hunt by herself following the death of her mother at a very young age.

It is impossible to stop or calm her down in this state, with Alpha having to resort to intimidation to make her snap out of it. When Delta confronted Nelson inside the Sanctuary, she got so excited that she annihilated everything despite Nelson unleashing his full magical power, not caring very much about the depletion of her slime suit, except the parts covering her private parts.

Magic
Delta does not seem to be capable of casting any spells aside from simple self-strengthening through mana control, possibly due to a lack of intelligence. However, she has taken this one spell she has to ridiculous levels, boasting superhuman strength that is surpassed only by Shadow. She is also able to manipulate her custom Slime Bodysuit through mana. It should be noted that the amount of mana that Delta has is extremely high and that despite not knowing how to use it correctly, it seems to never run out.

Standard Equipment
Delta as such hardly carries any weapon or item that she uses as a weapon since, as a beast-king, she prefers to use her claws, legs, and fangs. The only exception is the standard slime suit that she uses either as a defensive armor or as a latent slime weapon.


 * Slime Bodysuit: Delta had to transform her slime bodysuit into bikini armor as she barely hid her private parts to control her magic.

Wild Flash
TBA

Iron Slab
Delta can unleash her ridiculous magical power to manifest a huge sword of slime, which kills many multiple powerful enemies simultaneously. But in exchange, almost all of her slime suit temporarily disappears (leaving only the private parts covered), having been redirected into the giant sword.

During her battle against Nelson inside the Sanctuary, Delta used this technique to quickly kill several hundreds of clones that Nelson had created to kill her and Alpha.

Weaknesses
For all her combat strength, Delta's weakness is obvious: her lack of intelligence. Due to her simple mindset and inability to control her bloodlust, she is utterly incapable of any complex thinking. On top of making her skillset outside of combat non-existent, this also holds her back from achieving her full potential, as she is incapable of mastering any advanced combat technique.

Trivia

 * Delta usually pounces on Cid and hugs him whenever they meet.
 * As the most physically gifted of the "Seven Shadows" and her lack of self-control, Delta is the most destructive, sadistic, and brutal member of Shadow Garden.
 * Because of her natural self, Delta has bitten or tried to bite every member of the Shadow Garden she has met, except Cid.
 * So far, Delta is the only one of the members of Shadow Garden and the Seven Shadows to challenge Alpha in combat, for the position of second in command of the Seven Shadows, once when they were children and when she began to believe the truth, but Alpha defeated her without problem, and since then, Delta respects her and obeys her orders without question, due to the trauma and fear she had with Alpha, after her defeat.
 * In the manga, Alpha can stop Delta's "wild side" whenever she ever goes rampage only by threatening the former by taking away her snacks, which immediately pacifies her and after the Sanctuary is destroyed, Delta is seen munching a bone.
 * Delta tries to pretend that she is not stupid (although everyone in Shadow Garden knows she is) by ending most of her sentences with "-Desu", as her mother taught her before she died.
 * Because of her natural traits, Delta is arguably the only person in the world who has seen Cid's true personality as she often repeats things he's said to her word for word. But, because those statements are nonsensical or outlandish, everyone else believes Delta is misquoting Cid.
 * Delta's character is based off a dog the author once raised.
 * Delta seems to be the only one of her race that wears underwear, this is seen when she slept in one of the anime episodes, which is ironic since according to Zeta words, the Beastkin do not wear underwear, because it makes them uncomfortable to move.
 * It's revealed in the anime short, Kage-Jitsu! Delta can tell if someone is lying or not, just by licking their face.
