About Delenn
Delenn anime - wallpapers: Delenn, played by Mira Furlan, is a fictional character in the universe of the science-fiction television series Babylon 5. Delenn, an alien ambassador and leader from the planet Minbar, is one of the most pivotal characters in the Babylon 5 "novel" for television. Like Mr. Spock on Star Trek, her character is one of the most popular and influential 'aliens' in popular culture - and just as instructive when it comes to exploring our shared questions about "humanity". A wise woman who still manages to find humor and whimsy in life, Delenn changes over time from a shy, respectful priestess to a decisive military and political leader. Her character is complex: she's passionate, articulate and strong-willed, but retains insecurity and ambivalence about her place in prophecy. She is morally upright, always attempting to act for the better good - yet forced to keep deadly secrets and tell lies of omission. Delenn normally does not like violence, but prefers to be a consensus builder. Her decisions have repeatedly been the catalyst for violent change and war. Delenn is also quite willing to fight - as shown in the episode Severed Dreams, and during her encounter with the Drakh. She is both one of Babylon 5's key religious figures (assumed to be chaste, like most priestesses) and its key romantic heroine. Delenn was originally conceived as being a male character played by a female actor, in order to give the character female mannerisms and so on and therefore make him more "alien". The Babylon 5 pilot "The Gathering" was filmed with this in mind, but the computer alteration to Mira Furlan's voice to make it sound masculine wasn't convincing, so the idea was dropped and Delenn changed to being a female. The Minbari makeup used from then on gave Delenn a much more feminine appearance.
