Deliah Blue

"If you could help me, I'd be very grateful. And I always pay my debts..."

- Deliah Blue

Deliah Blue was a female Zeltron and the chief mechanic of the Mynock. She was a longtime companion of Cade Skywalker and Jariah Syn during their careers as bounty hunters in the wake of the Sith-Imperial War; Deliah also nursed a certain fondness for Skywalker.

Biography
Known for being a woman of choice words and being able to fix anything using a hydrospanner, she kept Cade Skywalker's ship intact through the most depreciated times. Once the living party-girl stereotype of her race, Deliah relinquished those days for a chance to get close to her ship's captain, Cade. She was not above playing the part, however, such as when she used her Zeltron wiles to coerce her way through the door to Brogar's cantina on Lok.

She assisted in bringing down the fugitive Jedi Hosk Trey'lis in Brogar's when the Jedi healer mistakenly thought Cade's group of bounty hunters had come for him. A dart from Deliah's wrist-launcher slowed the Bothan Jedi, setting him up for a thud-bug thrown by Jariah Syn. When Cade ordered emergency take-off procedures from Socorro, Deliah complained about the strain to the Mynock's engines, but complied with her Captain's orders. She was not any happier about Cade allowing two Imperial Missionaries on the run from the Sith to use her cabin and her clothes, but took the opportunity as a chance to bunk with Cade.

When Cade was revealed to be a Skywalker, and a fugitive Jedi, Deliah took it with good humor, musing that his Force abilities would be an asset in their line of work. During the Sith assault on the Mynock while on Vendaxa, Deliah threatened to space Jariah Syn in his sleep if he took off without Cade.

Blue and her cohorts ultimately escaped Vendaxa, though in the company of several Jedi and members of the Galactic Empire. Imperial Knight Antares Draco ordered them to head for the safety of Bastion, and the crew of the Mynock reluctantly agreed. Upon landing, Deliah and Cade spent the night together, though when Blue awoke, she found Cade had departed in the Mynock with Shado Vao and Wolf Sazen. She was later double-crossed by Rav, who turned in both her and Syn for harboring Cade. She was last seen being tortured by an Imperial torture droid.

Later, she and Syn were infected with Vong spores in order to tempt Cade to use his powers to heal them before they died. Cade gave into his feelings and healed them, after which they were allowed to leave in exchange for Cade's service to the Sith. After they were freed, they were given a message by R2-D2 from Cade, telling them to leave him behind. Blue said she wasn't leaving Coruscant until Cade was safe, after which they were approached by Morrigan Corde, Cade's mother.

While observing Cade in the Sith temple, through cameras attached to modified Vong Bugs that Morrigan and Jariah planted, she became very jealous of his intimate relationship with Darth Talon, going so far as to smash one of the monitors on the Mynock that was showing the two kissing (unknown to her, Cade was pretending to be a Sith Acolyte). Even weeks later when the group rescued Cade, Syn claimed that she was still quite mad at Cade.

She traveled with the others to Socorro, but didn't participate in the fighting, just watched over the monitor. When the Mynock took off, Blue was busy fixing. She vented her frustration at Cade, until he told her the truth. She then gave him a kiss on the cheek.

The crew decided to lay low at Rawk's Nest. But the Massacre at Mon Calamari, Azlyn Rae's appearance and Imperial patrol convinces Cade to kill Krayt so the galaxy would leave him alone. Deliah traveled with him to the Hidden Temple to seek the Jedi's assistance. She had a little "fun" with Master Tobias Sun by fixing his speeder bike.

Behind the scenes
On page 19 of Legacy 7, it was intended that Deliah and Cade spend the night together. However, a coloring mistake in the issue resulted in Deliah appearing with human flesh tones rather than deep-pink Zeltron tones, leading readers to ask if the character in Cade's bed was Marasiah Fel, not Deliah. The page was reprinted with the colors corrected in the back of a subsequent issue, and the corrected page was used in the trade paperback.
