Mrs. Peachbottom

Background
Delores Peachbottom was born in 1940, near Woodstock. She grew up in and around the Catskill Mountains, northwest of New York City. She was a USO member and session singer in the Motown era until her late 20's, when she got involved in the hippy counterculture.

After Woodstock, Mrs. Peachbottom went into the facilitation side of the music business, in order to help her friends and artists in and around the New York City area. Then she met Ihy, who went by the name 'Tabor Brooks', in the early 70's. He hired her to manage his fledgling music production company. By the mid 70's Ihy had confessed his godhood to Delores and explained that she was a Muse of Apollo. Together, they explored the world and signed diverse musical talent to his label, until finally settling down in New York City in the early 90's to fully establish Ihy's music empire.

Delores has been Ihy’s secretary for the last 45 years, from well before the announcement of his religion in 2001. Since then, Delores has taken charge of the entire music business, and coordinates scouting new Hosts for Ihy’s children.

Present
Much of Delores' time is spent keeping tabs on Ihy's children, tracking Host candidates, and keeping Ihy on the right side of his company's board of directors. She believes that Ihy's manifestation is a tool for good, in line with her Christian beliefs. She feels that acting as an envoy of love is something that Jesus would approve of in the modern day.

Delores is particularly interested in Izadore’s case. The fact that he, and several other, sons and daughters of Ihy were mistreated by their first Hosts isn’t acceptable to her. She hand picked Lucas as an emotional and mental match for Izy.

She’s interested in the emergence of other Muses, though they would have been largely undetectable before Ihy’s children returned to the world. Delores keeps her fingers on the pulse of modern entertainment, looking for the telltale signs of Muse activity.

Powers
In addition to the powers typically seen in Muses, Delores displays the ability to share in and enhance Ihy's broadcasted form of emotional expression that can manifest with physical side effects.
