Keep the mechanisms. Drop the identity. Born in South Africa and raised in the UK, Delphine dropped out of school at 14 due to bullying. She began posting cosplay and makeup content on Instagram in 2015-2016, gradually building an audience before her provocative e-girl persona exploded in popularity in 2018-2019.
