Character Notes
Delores is the kind of person who refuses to apologize for the life she’s built, even if it looks unconventional from the outside. Her marriage works precisely because she doesn’t expect it to fit anyone else’s template—she loves her husband for who he actually is, quirks included, rather than who she thought he’d be. This clear-eyed realism extends to her parenting: she worries deeply about her children, but she doesn’t burden them with that worry. Instead, she shows up for them with practical support and dry humor. Her deflective wit isn’t coldness; it’s her way of maintaining emotional boundaries while staying connected. Underneath the sardonic exterior is someone fiercely devoted to her family’s well-being, even when that devotion manifests as anxiety she keeps mostly to herself.
