Delicious (series) - Recurring Characters

Recurring Characters

Emily O'Malley is a young woman with a love for cooking, who hopes to one day open her own restaurant. She is the game's main character, and is kind-hearted, though sometimes a little naive. No one would dare say she's not a hard worker though and when she has her mind set on something, she really goes for it. Managing your personal life can be quite a challenge. Especially when you have to manage your own restaurant on top of that! At the end of Delicious: Emily's Wonder Wedding, Emily marries her husband Patrick.

Francois, a young man of about Emily's age, is Emily's best friend. Francois is an interior decorator, and he advises and helps Emily with decorating her restaurants. In Delicious 2, he also helps Emily in the restaurant by cleaning tables. In Delicious: Emily's Tea Garden, Francois takes the role as an entertainer, playing his flute for Emily's waiting guests. In Delicious: Emily's True Love, Emily puts him in charge of her restaurant while she is away.

Patrick O'Malley is Emily's husband, a florist who had a long-standing crush on her before revealing his feelings in Delicious: Emily's True Love; he and Emily became engaged at the end of that game. Patrick had an important role in the sample game Delicious: Emily's Big Surprise and he and Emily are married in Delicious: Emily's Wonder Wedding. While he has not helped out in Emily's restaurants in any game to date, he often shows a willingness to do so.

Angela is Emily's younger sister. While she is extremely flirtatious and irresponsible in her early appearances, she settles down and gets married in Delicious: Emily's True Love. In Delicious: Emily's Childhood Memories, Angela is shown to be just as much of a troublemaker when she was growing up. Despite their differences, Angela and Emily are very close, though Emily is frequently exasperated with her sister's antics. Angela has helped out in several of the restaurants before - however, several "crisis events" involve Emily trying to prevent Angela from causing trouble in between serving her customers.

Edward and Evelyn are Emily's parents, who are retired. Edward is laid-back and enjoys his retirement, while Evelyn is a bit more high-strung: many of her early appearances focus on her attempts to get Emily a boyfriend. Edward and Evelyn are shown to have very similar personalities to their older selves in Delicious: Emily's Childhood Memories, and both have helped out in Emily's restaurants - Evelyn as a cleaner and Edward as either a cleaner or entertainer. Evelyn tends to over-protect her daughters, while Edward tries his best to stay out of his wife's way.

Uncle Antonio is a somewhat older man, uncle of Emily and father of Marcello. He owns a number of restaurants, but when his son bails on him, he needs Emily's help to get things back on track. When Emily wants to open her own tea garden, he helps her with advice and gets her a job so she can apply for a loan.

Brigid is Patrick's mother. She dislikes Emily and does not want her to marry Patrick.

In Delicious: Emily's Taste of Fame, it is revealed that Emily and her family and friends live in the imaginary town of Snuggford. While Snuggford's actual location is not ever revealed, it is a town that experiences all four seasons and is in the mountains (considering it has a ski slope and an annual skiing contest). In Delicious: Emily's True Love, Patrick asks Emily to attend the Sundance Film Festival with him, which strongly implies that Snuggford is located in or around the U.S. state of Utah.
