# Queen Phoenix

## **Early Life**

Formerly Cordelia Thebe, she had lost her kingdom and set off on the seas. She was followed by her two faithful employees, Matilda the Cook and Bob the Butler. She enjoyed being on the water and following several creative pursuits. She had the serial romantic aspiration and therefore several boyfriends including Long John and Rodrigo before dating the love of her life, Chaz.

## **Legacy Start**

Cordelia and her team shipwrecked onto land controlled by the vampire Luna Clarke. Luna was lonely and agreed to let Cordelia start a new kingdom there as long as she married Luna's son and only someone with her purple eyes could inherit the throne. She created the Generation 1 club.

## **Reign**

* **Successful Lineage Aspiration:** Cordelia completed this aspiration by mentoring Eliza and helping her grow into her role as future queen. The aspiration was completed not long after Eliza became a young adult.

* **Musical Genius Aspiration:** Cordelia finished the musical genius aspiration during her young adulthood and licensed several hit songs.
* **Painter Extraordinaire:** After completing the musical genius aspiration and waiting for her children to get older, Cordelia chose to pursue her painting skills and completed the aspiration before Eliza became a teenager.
* **Big Happy Family Aspiration:** Cordelia completed this aspiration by becoming good friends with her nephew Leto.

## **Relationships**

**Plantonic**

* **Duchess Matilda Phoenix:** Matilda was a cook at the palace in Cordelia's old kingdom, when the kingdom fell Matilda followed Cordelia out to sea and took care of her. Cordelia considered Matilda a mother figure and gave her the title of duchess and the name of Phoenix as proof of her filial love. Matilda became an alcoholic and woohooed with Cordelia's husband, which strained their relationship. After Matilda got sober, the two reconciled and Matilda lived in the castle with Cordelia until her death. Matilda was the first to be entombed in the royal graveyard.

**Romantic**

* Chaz Kitsune**:** Cordelia began dating Chaz during her time at sea. She planned to make him her king but this was foiled by her arranged marriage. Their romance cooled off after they were married (though they woohooed at her wedding reception) to other people but after Xander's affair, Cordelia rekindled their relationship. They had twins together and Cordelia broke off the relationship to focus on her family. After Xander's death, Cordelia and Chaz rekindled their romance and were married in their old age.
* King Xander Phoenix**:** Cordelia and Xander's marriage was arranged by Luna to cement their alliance and the start of the Phoenix Kingdom. Cordelia and Xander both cheated on each other and had a strained marriage. At the romance festival they recommitted to each other by renewing their vows and focused on their family and had three more children. They spent the rest of their lives together until Xander's death.

**Children**

* Eliza Phoenix**:** Eliza was Cordelia's first child and heir. The two were very close, especially after all of the other children moved out. Cordelia spent a lot of time preparing Eliza for the throne.
* Mikhail Phoenix **and Regina Phoenix:** Cordelia's children with Chaz. She passed them off as Xander's children and doted on them. They were both clever and charismatic which endeared many to them. They were used as leverage for Carmen to divorce Chaz though Cordelia took the opportunity to make sure the Kitsune Duchy did not overcome the Phoenix Royal Family in wealth after they had won the lottery.
* Killian Phoenix**, Adora Phoenix, and Apollo Phoenix:** Cordelia's children after renewing her vows. She gave each of them the title of Earl and new land in the kingdom.

## Death

Cordelia died of old age surrounded by family.

## **Public Perception**

* Cordelia was regarded as a pioneer of creativity and an adventurer. She was a strong ruler who founded the kingdom. She was known for her romantic escapades but ultimately had a pristine reputation and was loved by her people.
