Delia is an evil alien woman who appears as the main antagonist of the third season of the Stitch! anime.
Physical appearance[]
Delia is a very tall, white-skinned, humanoid alien woman. She has long, bright red, human-like hair tied up in a bun and loop, thin red eyebrows, a long neck, and two huge, long, somewhat triangular ears with five gold earrings on the lower rims of them; two near the base of her right ear, one near the base of her left ear, and two midway down the left ear. Her eyes have light blue sclerae and heterochromia iridum, with a red left eye and a green right eye. She has purple nails on her humanoid hands.
She normally wears an indigo sleeveless dress, leg-long, high-heeled purple boots, an indigo choker strapped by a gold ball, a teal and cyan cape with purple shoulder pads, a purple arm warmer on her left forearm, two bracelets on her right upper arm (a gold ring and a loose, purple beaded bracelet), and a yellow alien computer-like device on her right forearm.
Background[]
Delia is an evil alien woman who is in a partnership with Dr. Hämsterviel to get the Neo-PowerChip that is inside of Stitch. Delia altered a majority of Jumba's experiments, which had caused them to become physically stronger and evil, and Angel who is rescued by Stitch. Delia usually calls Hämsterviel the wrong name, such as Hämu Sama or Hämusta Sama, and then eventually punishing him with various explosions or robots, and even tickle-torturing him in one episode.
Delia is also the creator of the experiment Dark End, who is based on Stitch's DNA. Delia began the creation of Dark End at the start of the third season of the Stitch! anime and continued working on them until the second-to-last episode. After Dark End was created, Delia then invades Earth and sends them out to defeat Stitch. Stitch successfully defeats Dark End with the help of other experiments and an emergency power boost installed in the original Neo-PowerChip. Afterwards, the Grand Councilwoman arrests Delia, Hämsterviel, Gantu, and Reuben.
Punishments[]
A recurring gag is Delia repeatedly, comically (in the sense of how elaborate they are and usually involving mechanical arms to do so) and often abusively torturing Hämsterviel for his repeated ineptitude and failure in capturing Stitch, and they usually match a theme represented in the episode.
- In "New Town", Hämsterviel tries and fails to use Plasmoid and Splodyhead to attack Yuna's school and capture Stitch. Splodyhead was modified with the ability to blast stink orbs instead of fire ones, so Delia traps Hämsterviel in a cage and knocks him out by popping a balloon with a stinky gas.
- In "Yuna vs. Jessica", Hämsterviel tries and fails to use Sample to force people to dance in response to hearing his music. Delia puts Hämsterviel on puppet strings to exhaust him by dancing. Hämsterviel chooses to go along with it to please Delia, but he falls over, painfully landing on his head.
- In "Jessica's Birthday", befitting the episode's focus on someone's birthday, Delia throws Hämsterviel into a cake and covers him in whipped cream. Although that's not too bad on its own, she proceeds to literally set him on fire as if he were a candle, and Hämsterviel survives this despite the pain.
- In "Dorkifier", Hämsterviel tries and fails to use Hertz Donut to capture Stitch, so Delia tries to turn Hämsterviel into a doughnut by dipping him in batter, which, according to Hämsterviel, would have been more painful due to his wheat allergy. She then proceeds to dip him in an unspecified substance off-screen, which, judging by the theme, is hot oil, but Hämsterviel survives.
- In "Spooky Toons", since it's a Halloween-themed episode, Delia scares an ailurophobic Hämsterviel by throwing him in a spinning wheel with a cat, which seems to do him more psychological pain than physical.
- In "P.J. 2.0", Delia gives Hämsterviel a tame punishment in the form of an art slide show that simply depicts images of Hämsterviel getting tortured, which distresses him anyway.
- In "Spike 2.0", where the characters participate in a quiz show, Delia restrains Hämsterviel to a quiz show wheel that rotates repeatedly, which, compared to her other punishments, isn't remotely as painful.
- In "Sprout 2.0", since Sprout was depicted with a weakness of humor/tickling, Delia tickle tortures Hämsterviel, which becomes so painful to the point that he warns Delia he might urinate.
- In "Stitch's Birthday, Part Two", Hämsterviel receives an unknown but painful punishment off-screen for frizzing Delia's hair, and is later simply tied to her throne with a rope.
- In "Stitch Goes to Wishlanda", Delia sics a crocodile on Hämsterviel who used it in the episode.
- In "Witch", ironically enough, Delia somehow uses magic just like Witch to trap Hämsterviel, Reuben, and Gantu inside jack-o'-lanterns and enchant fire over all three, causing them to scream in pain.
- In "Hämjock Vielvonster", since Hämsterviel completely neglects to use Deforestator, Delia orders the experiment to attack him. Additionally, before this, Delia ejects him into space, which begs the question of how he survived the vacuum and the fall.
- In "Elastico 2.0", in a rather tame punishment, Delia has two seals toss Hämsterviel around like he is a ball.
- In "The Petite Queen", Delia invites two female college classmates of hers to verbally bully Hämsterviel as they did back in school. They threaten him physically, but it is unknown if they attack him; this is even encouraged by the kids.
- In "Reuben 2.0", Delia makes a giant sandwich and puts Hämsterviel, Reuben, and Gantu into it, smothering them with mustard and using a hydraulic press to squeeze them. This causes Hämsterviel and Gantu pain, but Reuben actually enjoys it.
- In "Swapper 2.0", Delia uses a machine to put Hämsterviel into the form of a carrot, which he can actually move around in. It doesn't harm him until Delia sics her pet rabbit on him.
- In "Experiment-a-palooza", Hämsterviel cosplays as Delia to mock her, leading to her flogging him.
- In "Stitch Ahoy!", Delia admits that dreaming up punishments has become difficult for her, but in the end, she dips Hämsterviel into an inflatable pool full of piranhas.
- In "Lilo", since the titular Lilo makes her return, Delia crushes Hämsterviel with a giant tiki head, which he survives despite the pain.
- In "Stitch's Dreams", Delia blindfolds and restrains Hämsterviel to a metal bed while reading him a scary story involving a cat hunting hamsters.
- In "Ace's Back!", Delia ties Hämsterviel to a rope that revolves him around the room at breakneck speed.
"A Very Stinky Christmas", "Boss", and "Dark-End" are some of the rare episodes where Hämsterviel does not face punishment. In the Christmas episode, this is in the spirit of the season, as Delia chooses to give him a reprieve so that he can enjoy the holiday. In both "Boss" and "Dark-End", Hämsterviel's lack of punishment is due to these being the final two episodes of the series, which have a direct continuity with one another. The series culminates in "Dark-End", where Hämsterviel, Gantu, Reuben, and Delia are arrested and imprisoned. Interestingly, in "Chocolate Stitch", Delia's decision to spare Hämsterviel actually distresses him, as he prefers not to be left alone by her.
Trivia[]
- Everything that Delia creates has an element that repeats the shape of her ears: a station, a communicator, and even her experiment Dark End. Hämsterviel has a similar habit.
- She likes to cook and play in the bath with a rubber duck.
- It is unknown why Delia continuously had Hämsterviel try to capture Stitch, despite his consistent failures. However, it's very likely that she enjoyed torturing him regardless.
