Cora Hartley is a character played by PirateDork.
==General Information==
Cora Hartley is a Senior Corrections Officer for the Department of Corrections, callsign C-64.
==Physical Description==
Cora has blue eyes, freckles, red/brown hair, and scar on the right side of her mouth from a hatchet. She can often be seen wearing purple or orange trackpants, an orange hoodie, a jacket of some sort and a black boonie hat. The hat used to belong to her friend Greogry Knox who passed away. Cora also wears her dad's necklace, which was given to her when he passed away.
==Background Information==
Cora grew up as a single child in a seemingly happy family in Gothenburg, Sweden. In her eyes, her dad cared for her a lot and just wanted the best for her. If you were looking from the outside perspective of the family, you could clearly see that Cora's father, Thomas Hartley, was controlling over both her and her mother, Maria Hartley. 
Cora’s father liked to have control over everything in his life, including who and what his daughter did. He was a successful artist and on multiple occasions he would make Cora draw for him and claim the paintings as his. He usually did this by locking her in a shed in the backyard for a few hours with just painting supplies.
Because of how her father raised her, Cora has a hard time understanding adult life and all its challenges, especially her own emotions. She was never taught what any of them mean and she struggles with this a lot and often calls them “stupid emotions!! >:(“.
Her father was sadly killed by a drunk driver on the 1st of October 2015 when Cora was 15 years old. He was walking to pick Cora up after school but he never made it. Cora was mostly homeschooled her whole life, but she had just started high school the same year a few months earlier. Because of this she blames herself for her father's death.
==Character Arc==
===Right vs Wrong===
When Cora first arrived in Los Santos, all she knew was what her father taught her: always listen to him and do as you're told. So she did as she always done tried to help people. She later started working for the government as a Corrections officer, here her view if whats right and wrong is what the law book and government says. She would follow orders and follow the law in everything she did. 
She never questioned it until her brother Rhys Williams introduced her to Marvin Morrow and his friends. Marvin talked about the corrupt FIB and a very corrupt governemt. He also asked Cora about FIB transports that happaned a few months back, DoC helped guard it so Cora was there and helped. Cora was hesitant to say anything about it because she got told not to, but her brother Rhys convinced her and she told them what she knew. Marvin and Rhys also told her that the FIB has bird drones watching people. Nothing more came after that conversation.
A week later, Cora was on duty working at the prison. She was in a tower keeping an eye out for anyone trying to jump into the prison when a bird started circling her, she thought nothing of it but it later came back and right before it flew away Cora saw a FIB badge in its mouth. This meant for Cora that the things Rhys and Marvin had told her was true. She called Rhys up and mentioned the bird and they started talking. Rhys stated that the pd and the government is worse then some criminals, and kept talking about how bad they are and what they have done in the past. This turned Cora's view of things upside down and she didnt know how to handle it. Cora stopped talking sense and just made noises, Cora noises the noise she makes when she is unsure of things or stressed, her brain broke. This went on for a few hours and she tried to flee into the mountains to get away from society.
In the moutains she was followed by friends and her brother Rhys. Her and Rhys got attacked by a mountain lion and they got badly hurt - the cat got hold of her throat. Rhys managed to get by with only a few bite marks but nothing serious, meanwhile Cora had to get surgery to save her life. She then spent a few days in the ICU where she was stressed and confused about what's what.
