Dalila (A Crocodile's Journey)

Dalila is a female egret, and a member of Bakshi's Flock.

Background
Kitwana's first (and at that time, the only) friend amongst the young egret chicks, Dalila could see more in him than his crocodilian habits from the beginning.

Personality
Dalila is a cheerful young chick with a kind heart, and she doesn't judge other animals for whatever traits or backgrounds they may have. She is the only one in Bakshi's flock, apart from Bakshi herself, who is kind to Kitwana, whom she finds cute and interesting. She is willing to stand up to those who pick on other animals, and is very smart, being the only one in the flock Mshale was unable to fool.

Appearance
As an egret chick, Dalila is covered in gray baby plumage, but in her case it covers even her head. Much like Kitwana, she has long black legs and tiny wings. Her eyes are dark brown.

Kitwana
Dalila was Kitwana's first bird friend, and his first crush, though none of them knew it at that time. Dalila doesn't judge Kitwana for his upbringing amongst crocodiles, and finds him interesting, though at times she is surprised at his reactions to provocations. Despite this, she values him as a friend and for who he is on the inside. Kitwana also values Dalila's friendship, and is willing to risk his life for her.

Mshale
Dalila is fully aware of Mshale's bad temper and bullying habits, so she'd rather not have contact with him at all, and is annoyed at his attempts to impress her. She defended Kitwana from Mshale and wasn't fooled by Mashale playing the victim.

Trivia

 * Most of the flock think she'll eventually pair up with Mshale.
 * The reason she likes Kitwana so much is that he's not 'cut out with the same scissor' as other males.
