## History

### Early Life

Cori was one of 20 children adopted by Orazio Viotto, head of the criminal syndicate the Viotto Group in his attempt to create prodigies to further his business. In his quest to create artificial Ultimates, the children were put through rigorous education and testing to determine whether they had the aptitude. In the end, Cori was one of only five who lived up to his standards, becoming incredibly skilled in the field of chemistry, and becoming the third of her siblings to "graduate" and become a proper part of the family, earning herself the right to be called by her name.

Cori was soon after put to work for the group, being forced to use her skills to develop anything from drugs to weapons, depending on what Orazio desired. While she accepted this for a time, a tipping point came when she was forced to use one of the 15 "failed" siblings as a test subject. Seeing the pain one of her siblings was put through, and seeing that the other "graduated" siblings seemed to revel in it or simply not care, she shut herself off from the world.She wanted nothing to do with a world where things like this could go unpunished, but seeing as her father had connections to most of the authorities, there would never be any justice.

She continued her work, seeing no other option for herself despite desperately wanting to help her other siblings. She would often feed them or try to tend to them without the others knowing, however this soon led to her being attacked by one of the others in a panicked frenzy. She only survived due to the intervention of Cianna, but she still carries the scars around her neck.

After several years, she had a chance encounter with a boy who she would later consider her first friend while he was on vacation with his family. The two spoke occasionally while he was in Sicily, developing an odd friendship, and while she kept much of her life hidden, he did learn of her skills with chemistry. He encouraged her to put her talents to use helping people, as he believed that would make her happier than whatever she was doing now. While she didn’t quite understand what he meant by that, his faith in her to do good by people inspired her somewhat. Not too long after, he left along with his family, and Cori began making her plans to flee the Viotto estate. She attempted to bring her "failed" siblings with her, but those that remained rejected her out of mistrust. Soon after leaving, she moved to California to start work in medicine, where she would quickly make waves with her research. This led to her being scouted by Hope's Peak International, under the title Ultimate Chemist.

While living in California, she reconnected with her friend, who quickly got her involved with others around their age and took to making her open up. Before she left for Hope’s Peak, he made Cori promise to try to open up to her classmates more.

### Killing Game Life

After waking with the other students in the Tiny Town streets, Cori often tried to establish herself in a supporting role. She rejected leadership when it was offered to her, instead wanting to try and support however she could from the sides. Early on, she met with Gummie Jack, and the two formed an alliance over their desire to try and help their fellow students.

#### First Motive

During the first motive, Cori was the second person selected to choose a victim for the torture room. Her desire to avoid hurting anyone and personal lack of a will to live led her to select herself to be the victim, however she was spared from the torture for reasons unknown to her, and was given a golden medallion. She was later present when Apollo chose Eri to be tortured, and was horrified both by the results of the torture, and her fellow student's reactions to Apollo. Though she didn't take to publicly defending him, she continued to try to keep an open mind about him.

Soon after Eri's torture, she had an encounter with Jayden Dimarco, where the two discovered the message about the traitor on the roof. He aggressively made his distrust for her known, to which she refused to argue, instead offering her own life to him should he want to kill.

Later, when the motive changed from single choice to majority vote, she attempted to avoid voting, before being told in the second selection that not voting would lead to more people being tortured. This caused her to regretfully vote for Chūi Sumāto in the second round, after the girl offered herself instead of Allian Garnier. She spent much of the rest of the motive tending to the wounds Liraz had received after being electrocuted by Suffer.
