Early life
Not much is known about Delly, but what is known is that she is very nice and was a friend to Peeta Mellark since the time that they were little children. She used to tell people that he was her brother. Delly was also in the same class as Katniss Everdeen and Peeta, and was said to admire Katniss. She's also very retarded.

The Hunger Games
When Katniss and Peeta were having a meal in the Capitol along with Haymitch, Cinna, Portia, and Effie Trinket, the Avox, Lavinia, waited on them. Katniss claimed to recognize Lavinia but after Effie and Haymitch explained that Avoxes are traitors, Peeta chimed in claiming she just looked like someone they knew from District 12, Delly Cartwright. Lavinia and Delly look nothing alike in reality but Katniss was grateful for Peeta's discretion.

Mockingjay
Delly and her little brother survived the bombing of District 12. Her parents died in the bombing. Later she and the remaining population of District 12 made it to District 13. After Peeta was saved from the Capitol, Delly was one of the only people who could calm him down. She tried to convince him of all the good things Katniss did. When Delly met Katniss, she was honored and happy to meet the Mockingjay. Katniss informs her of Peeta and his condition. Delly visits Peeta and tries to get his memory back. Peeta is happy to see her and asks her what has been happening. Delly becomes sad and tears up when she tells him that District 12 was burned down and that his family is dead. Peeta is enraged and shouts that it is Katniss' fault and that she is a muttation. One time at lunch Peeta was allowed to eat with everyone and he was rude to Katniss and said he might try to steal Annie away from Finnick not caring that Katniss was there. After Katniss and Gale left, Delly was very angry at Peeta and yelled at him for treating Katniss so badly.

Delly meets Katniss, Gale, Beetee, Johanna, Finnick, Annie and later Peeta at lunch.
