## Character

### **Personality**

When you first meet her, Cora is shown to be self-absorbed, condescending, manipulative, and dishonest. She frequently insults and belittles others and thinks little of it. According to Theodora, she makes life miserable for "anyone who stands in her way." As a result, most of the younger kids at camp are afraid of her. She is also not above making threats and blackmailing to realize her goals. Since she was raised rich, she acts like a spoiled brat, and her father is said to encourage this behavior. Cora is a bossy, egotistical, and superficial girl who does everything in her power to crush and loves making her rivals' lives miserable, particularly Melody who she despises; even calling her cheap insults to get to her. She thinks highly of herself and lowly of others believing that she deserves everything and takes pride in her luxurious lifestyle. This has also caused her to view herself as above any consequences of her actions. She believes that she is the most important person in the world and everyone adores her, but the main reason why she acts this way is to impress her mother. If there is something that she wants, like attention or revenge, Chloé will do anything, including underhanded actions, to succeed. She steals Melody's short story to humiliate her, but impresses her Muse-ic teacher, Apollo and her mother, Calliope, but this back-fired. Cora rarely treats any of her peers respectfully, being bossy and overbearing to her cousins Theodora and Tina and claims to her mother that she is just using the former. Her sour attitude comes across openly to whatever and whoever she despises, but will sometimes pretend to be innocent and emotionally distressed to manipulate others in front of her father. While being callous and careless to anyone but herself, Cora can be cowardly, easily scared of danger often caused by the monsters of the mythos world.

Cora sometimes acts like a daddy's girl, as her father spoils her immensely, and she often calls on or threatens to call on him to enforce her will with her peers and even superiors. Cora is stuck-up, rude and shallow. She speaks ill of many of the other students, as it's implied she badmouths her fellow students for the sake of being mean. She thinks quests and wars are a waste of time, as she would rather spend time making herself look pretty and gossip with her friends. Drew uses her persuasive skills to control some students, making them dislike or become scared of her. Ultimately, Chloé's abrasive and selfish attitude stems from a massive inferiority complex, born from the neglect her mother showed her as a child (since, you know, Calliope is a goddess) and the emotional abuse her step-mother, Ruth gave her. This caused Cora to try and emulate her step-mother's unpleasant behavior in a vain attempt to win her affection. Additionally, she sometimes shows a lack of self-confidence behind her arrogance, feeling that nothing she does has any real value no matter what she tries, even referring to herself as "useless". Cora Williams is shown to be scheming, manipulative, and only concerned with being adored by others. Using her powers, she is able to sway the students' opinion with ease and trick many students. She also displays a degree of sadism, seen when taking advantage of Sadie's loyalty to her friends in order to blackmail her, and a considerable level of intelligence, as she quickly recognizes many different demigods and what pantheon they are from. Cora beared contempt toward her fellow future muses Tina and Theodora, calling them "idiots" and generally disliking their company. As the leader she is shown to grow irritated when her authority is questioned. Now, she had made friends with Hera, Julia, and Cherry, her behavior has gotten worse.
