Matsuyama Dalia



Matsuyama Dalia (松山ダリア) is a character in the D4DJ franchise, and is a member of the group Merm4id.

Appearance
Dalia has white, curly hair that reaches her waist and blunt bangs. She has turquoise-greyish colored eyes.

Description
Dalia devotes herself to practicing ballet, traditional Japanese dance, contemporary dance, and any other dance form in order to become a genre-exceeding dancer. She sees something that she lacks in Rika's positivity, and decides to join the unit. She is also a grade holder in martial arts, and acts as the bodyguard of the unit. She has a cool personality, and is able to stay calm during most situations.

Seto Rika
Rika and Dalia first met at a university party. After telling a few girls off for badmouthing Rika who was dominating the dancefloor, she joined the former and showed off her dance skills, which left Rika in awe.

Akashi Maho
Dalia and Maho are friends and used to go to the same karate dojo together back when Maho was in elementary school. The two have fond memories of those times.

Sasago Jennifer Yuka
A regular at Yuka's parents' gym, the two got to know each other after Dalia saw Yuka training.

Niijima Ibuki
Just like Dalia, Ibuki is a regular at Yuka's parents' gym. The two love talking about training and diet regimens together.

Etymology
Matsuyama (松山) can be split into two parts. Matsu (松), meaning pine tree, and Yama (山) meaning mountain.

Dalia (ダリア) has no meaning of its own. But since it's in katakana, it could be the Japanese equivalent of Dahlia.
