Personality: On the surface, Dahlia Hawthorne is the sweetest, nicest person one could ever hope to know. She's shy and demure, easily shocked, and cries at the drop of a hat. And yet she's so very kind and caring and she loves everyone and everything. Butterflies have been known to congregate around her pure and gentle demeanor. She goes out of her way to be kind and helpful to all who cross her path. She would sooner die than cause trouble for anyone.
Or, that's what she'd like you to think. The real Dahlia is a cruel, heartless person with no regard for anyone but herself. She even considers her own twin sister a nuisance who would be better off dead. Human life is not a consideration for Dahlia. She doesn't go out of her way to kill people; that would be too much hassle and be too likely to backfire on her, and besides, a lot of people are more useful alive. You can't manipulate a dead person into doing your bidding. But when someone does cross her, their days are numbered.
And when Dahlia does get her revenge she's meticulous. She plans everything out to the last detail, including finding a poor sap to pin the crime on, so that nothing will point to her, and plans her cover story and testimony perfectly. Everything has to be planned out in advance. She even went as far as to fabricate her own death at the hands of her boyfriend, and it took five long years for anyone to even question the story. (If it hadn't been for that meddling defense attorney...)
However, when she's put on the spot or called on her lies she can get careless; she's a good forward-thinker, but thinking things up at the spur of the moment is more difficult for Dahlia. Often she'll have a few good lies and fallbacks set up, but if things happen too quickly for her to anticipate she gets careless. She'll do something stupid like depositing incriminating evidence with the first dumb sap she runs across without considering whether she'll ever be able to get it back, for example. And the larger the web of deceit she spins, the more likely she is to mix up details, contradict something she's said earlier, or otherwise falter and give herself away.
Dahlia grew up alone and unloved; when she was a child, her mother wanted nothing to do with her, and her father cared more about his business than his family. Even her twin sister Iris, frequently her co-conspirator, "betrayed" her by falling in love with a man who was nothing more than a pawn in Dahlia's plot to hide evidence of a murder she committed. However, even if at one point in her past Dahlia was merely lonely and in need of love, that is no longer true. Any capability for empathy or caring is gone, replaced by sheer malice and hatred.
