=Proposed Canon=<br />
Lady Delphie Temple was the [[Chief Caster|Chief]] [[Predictamancer]] ([[Adept-class]]) of Goodminton at the time [[Wanda]] was [[pop]]ped.<br />
<br />
Delphie is described as "a green eyed, zaftig woman, shorter than Wanda" with "gray-speckled black hair <...> curled up in tight locks". She uses cosmetic [[Signamancy]] [[spell]]s as make-up, probably of her own design. She wears a flowery violet tunic that emphasizes her assertive chest.<br />
<br />
=Speculation=<br />
<br />
Delphie seems to be in relationship with [[Clay Dice]] and warns Wanda to stay away from him.<br />
<br />
Delphie seems to know that [[Wanda]] is a very important [[unit]], which suggests that she may be a member of the [[Predictamancer]] conspiracy, which seeks to use Wanda. <br />
<br />
During their first meeting Wanda notices clear Signs that Delphie is in the state of personal decline. Perhaps this is a hint that Delphie has reluctantly decided to allow the destruction of her side in order to allow [[Wanda]] to achieve her [[Fate]]? She may have been forced to make this decision by her fellow [[Predictamancers]].<br />
<br />
=Real World References=<br />
"Delphie Temple" may refer to Temple of Apollo in the city of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delphi Delphi] in ancient Greece. Delphi and its temple was the site of the Delphic oracle, which was commonly believed to be able to predict the future.<br />
<br />
Incidentally, priestesses of the temple who served as the oracle were known as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythia pythias]. The word "pythia" probably originates from Pytho - original name of Delphi, but it is also related to the verb, pythein ("to rot").<br />
