Delila is the oldest daughter of Cate and Steven Jerome, born in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Her parents are divorced, and upon her father's marriage to Helen Davidson in 1997, he and his children left Wisconsin to move to her home, Port Margaret, in Washington. It is mentioned that Delila feels that Helen doesn't particularily like her, and it is often mentioned that she has been forgotten to be picked up after school.

In high school, Delila was best friends with James Arton and Samantha Finn, and the three were in drama productions together throughout school. After high school, she studied at Yale drama, and moved to New York, where she became well known for emotional, critically-acclaimed preformances. It is here she recieved her first major film role at age 23, starring in the psychological thriller, "Benign."

Shortly before being cast, Delila began a relationship with Kyle Bridger, an Arabic translator, working for the government. In mid 2008, he was deployed to Afganistan, where, three moths later, the vechicle he was travelling in was hit by a roadside bomb, and he and three others in the vechicle, two sargents and a reporter, were killed. Delila has never loved another man.

Upon the birth of her niece, Elle Payne, she is named her godmother, a title which she resents. It is mentioned that she does not care for her niece, at all, and is greatly annoyed when she is called "Auntie Dali."

Following this, she appeared in several films, in minor and major parts, such as "To Be", "Daring", and "Finding Ellen," for which she won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, beating out her rival and old friend, character actress Rita Winston. By age 65 she had given up acting, and began her prosperous career as an exclusive acting coach. In 2056, she met a new student, Annabelle Manning, her self-titled biggest fan and aspiring actress. The two became close, each other's confidantes, and Delila as a surrogate mother to Annabelle while she was in Los Angeles.

Public Image
In her well-gaurded private life, Delila is charasmatic, bright, and enjoys to entertain; this is thought to be a sharp contrast to her public image, which is normally cool and reserved. When met for the first time by Annabelle Manning, she notes how much more relaxed and happy Delila looks in person. Even after her death, Delila retains a large fanbase; it is mentioned that Victoria Verde's favorite movie is To Be.
