Cordelia

**Cordelia** is a female Water Genasi who hails from the town of Clemency. After an encounter with a demon called Crozier, she lost her left arm and moved to Spire City.

## Description

### Appearance

Cordelia is a teal skinned water genasi. Her skin is often covered in a slight sheen of water, which often bead up on her face to look like freckles. She is slightly below average height, and has a somewhat curvy build. Her hair is a darker blue color, and is worn in a messy Bob.

Cordelia’s attire is usually pretty simple. She wears baggy, comfortable pants and blouse style shirts. She often has a scarf tied around her waist that she has also been known to use as a polishing rag. She enjoys wearing jewlery, and is seldom seen without at least a few rings, bracelets, earrings, or necklaces. On her left shoulder she has an intricately patterned tattoo.

### Personality

Cordelia is a pleasant person to be around. Given her experience in retail, she has an uncanny ability to both put up with and put an end to people’s bullshit. She is usually pretty good at reading social situations, which makes her quick to adapt accordingly. Despite her pleasantries and keen abilities in social settings, Cordelia does have a tendency to get flustered if too much attention is thrust upon her.

## History

Cordelia is a water genasi born and raised in the village of Clemency. Prior to meeting the party, Cordelia led a fairly unassuming life as a shopkeeper. She met the party, sans Berry, when she hired them as mercenaries.

A few weeks later, the village of Clemency was destroyed by the Inquisition. The town had supposedly been consorting with devils, including one particular entity by the name of Crozier. Although Cordelia managed to escape the Inquisition, she was taken down by one of the devilish creatures, who turned her left arm into a gnarled, blackened mess.

It was at this time that Cordelia once again crossed paths with the adventurers. Cordelia warned them all to stay back, as she did not want to lose control and cause them harm, at the same time that a demonic voice bellowed from within her threatening the party. Despite all of this, the party’s newest member, Berry, managed to use her magic to calm the panicking woman. Her demonic arm continued to lash out, and the party, at the demands of Cordelia, cut it off. After the demonic arm was defeated, and Berry sealed her wound, Cordelia was exposed momentarily to a Greyrot shard, which seemingly burned away any remaining demons.

After much debate, Cordelia was granted passage with the party, and was taken to Spire City, where UMAA confirmed she was free of all demons, and referred her to an artificier named Lady Vironia, who specialized in making advanced prosthetics.

### Spire City

In Spire City, Cordelia met and ended up becoming friendly with the Lady Vironia. Although she was initially flustered by the noble lady's attention, she found her quite charming, especially given the fact that Lady Vironia was not going to charge her for the new arm. She, along with the rest of the party, was invited to a concert being put on by the singer Perasona Jiwa. Unfortunately, the concert was interrupted by the appearance of mind flayers, who used the allure of the singer to take over the minds of many of the audience. Thanks to the quick thinking of Rineth and Dordlo, Cordelia and the others were able to escape.

## Relationships

##### Berry

Cordelia has a special bond with the pink skinned tiefling. Berry was the one who most strongly insisted on bringing Cordelia to Spire city. While she may not call Berry her "best friend", she does consider her a true ally, and will not be quick to forget how the tiefling gave her a chance.

##### Calix

Cordelia does not quite trust Calix. She tries not to take it personally that he wanted to leave her to die, but...it is a little hard not to hold a grudge.

##### Lady Vironia

At first, Cordelia was overwhelmed by the attention Vironia gave her, as she was not at all expecting to be spoken to so freely by a noblewoman. However, she has since taken a liking to Vironia, as the two of them have bonded over their shared love of music and the process of fitting Cordelia for a new arm.
