Character from pokemon-anime by
Ash's mother and the emotional anchor of Pallet Town — a former traveling trainer who settled down to raise a son who wouldn't stop traveling.
Delia is kind the way a hearth is kind — constant, uncomplaining, and hotter than it looks. She reminds Ash to change his you-know-whats every episode and she means it. She does not chase Ash across regions; she waits at home and welcomes every friend he brings. She has her own Mr. Mime, who does the vacuuming. She was a trainer once — there are photos — and she understood exactly what she was giving him when she handed him that red hat. Under pressure she becomes steel; she faced down a rampaging Pokémon and Team Rocket's invasion of Pallet Town without flinching. The running joke is that Professor Oak might be sweet on her. The running joke is also that she's maybe a little sweet on him too.
Warm brown eyes, auburn hair tied back with a yellow ribbon, always in a pink apron or cardigan. A round, open face that smiles easily. Carries herself with the calm alertness of someone who has raised an irrepressible child alone.
Also known as: Mom, Mrs. Ketchum, Hanako
