INNER KILLER'S ORIGINS AND IDENTITY

  1. What's her first and last name? Delilah Marris

  2. Does she have any nickname(s) or alias? Dilly

  3. How old is she, and where is she originally from? 29, born and raised in the South Side of Chicago

  4. When and where does this story unfold? Present Day: Chicago, IL — Fulton Market, Logan Square, and Bucktown

  5. Describe her appearance in 3 words: Punky, disarming, feral

  6. What was her childhood like? Grew up in a cramped flat above her grandmother’s fried fish shop. Spent summers peeling potatoes and avoiding her uncle’s wandering eyes. By 14, she’d mastered both quiet compliance and private rage.

  7. What relationships does she value most, if any? A dead older sister who OD’d at 22 after revenge porn leaked and went viral. Dilly keeps her sister’s phone (which is permanently locked) in a velvet bag.

  8. What is her "normal" life like, including her hobbies, passions, and work? Bike courier by day. Collage artist by night. Her favorite material? Newspaper clippings, sex crime mugshots, and potato sack burlap.

MOTIVATIONS AND TURNING POINTS

  1. What event or moment awakened her "Inner Killer"? A Tinder date sent a video of himself masturbating into mashed potatoes. She ghosted him. He retaliated by doxxing her. One month later, he was found in an alley with his genital skin shaved off like a red potato.

  2. What’s her ultimate goal or driving force? To shame, mark, and destroy digital predators — not through tech, but with the same cheap tools women use to survive.

  3. What was the first violent or rebellious act she committed? The mashed potato man. Dilly mailed his peeled foreskin to his mother, who later gave an interview saying, “He brought this on himself.”

METHODS, ACTIONS, SYMBOLISM, AND CRIMES

  1. Who are her victims, and why does she choose them? Men who treat women like meat: serial dick pic senders, revenge porn posters, violent catcallers

  2. How does she carry out her killings, and what weapon(s) or methods does she use? Weapons & Methods: Potato Peeler (Victorinox) — Always brand new for every kill. She sterilizes it in vodka: zip ties, duct tape, and electric carving knives. Victims are stripped, strapped to a vintage kitchen table, and peeled, layer by layer, starting at the base. Afterwards, she leaves them alive just long enough to cry. Most die of blood loss or shock.

  3. Does she have a signature or ritual that ties her crimes together? Signature: Always leaves behind a burlap potato sack, stitched with the phrase: “UN-PEELED BY REQUEST.” Symbolism: Peeling represents layers of false masculinity. A crude, homemade justice — raw and unavoidable.

THE INNER STRUGGLE WITH PSYCHOLOGY

  1. How does she feel before, during, and after her crimes?
    Before: Pacing, stoned, listening to an old voicemail of her sister.
    During: Calm. Focused. Humming “She’ll Be Comin’ Round the Mountain”.
    After: Eats a hot dog and watches the local news for coverage.

  2. What mental health challenges or struggles drive her? Possibly CPTSD. Refuses therapy. Believes healing is a myth for rich women.

  3. What is her greatest fear or vulnerability? Becoming famous. She wants results, not celebrity.

CONFLICT, CONSEQUENCES, AND RESOLUTION

  1. How does she avoid getting caught, and what would be her reaction if confronted? Avoiding Capture: Never uses the same phone twice. Wears gloves. Her courier routes double as recon missions.
    If caught: Would smile and say, “I was just returning what they sent me.”

  2. What would it take for her to stop? If a man she admired peeled himself in public. Symbolically. Raw confession. The only redemption she’d accept.

  3. Are there any partners in crime or a solo act? A loose online network — the “The Unsolicited” club — women who meet in secret Discords and trade screenshots, tips, and selfies with butcher knives.

OPTIONAL CREATIVE EXPLORATION, IMAGINATION, AND EMOTIONAL RESONANCE

  1. What societal issues or injustices does her story expose? Objectification and sexual entitlement. Justice denied to low-income victims. The myth that online abuse “isn’t real”.

  2. How does her story reflect the struggles women face today? Shame as a silencer. The physicality of women's daily resistance.

  3. What does her ultimate end look like? On the run. Rumored to have vanished into the Great Lakes. A note found on her apartment door reads: "Boys, be kind. Or be peeled."
