Delilah the Platypus was originally a Perry's girlfriend character, but now they're just friends who treat each other like siblings. I want to bring them together someday but I feel held back--I mean, the "Perry's girlfriend" concept is used a lot. I am doing it with their alternate selves, however...

Also, here's history about her name:

I asked a friend what I should name her, and I remember her suggesting "Delilah". I liked it, but it didn't start with "P". So I asked my mom for a name for a girl platypus, and she suggested "Patty", and I used it. Later, I learned that someone else (Maddyfae) already had a platypus character named Patty, so I switched to Delilah and it stuck.

Also, Delilah now has a less...girlish...appearance. How would anyone be able to tell she's a girl? :/ She'd probably get mistaken for a boy!
