Corey Mallory

## DESCRIPTION

### Appearance

Corey stands at 5'5" having become undead before their growth spurt. They have short, choppy caramel hair they cut by themselves after waking up in their grave, and olive skin. They have green eyes, and are covered in moles. Corey can be often seen in more large clothing, and is particularly a fan of large thick hoodies and cargo pants. Once in a while they will indulge themselves and wear skirts or dresses.

## BIOGRAPHY

Corey was born to two musicians, Nicolette and Flint, during the midst of a tour where Flint believed it was an April Fools joke (It was not).

Corey had a rocky upbringing. Their parents Nicolette and Flint had them very young, and still yearned to see the world, and Corey would go back and forth from their parents to grandparents every couple of months. They had troubles communicating and making friends as a child, and turned to music like their parents. They started playing the violin and piano at the age of six.

Bullying began during middle school, but began to affect them during freshman year of high school. The summer before sophomore year, Corey would take matters into their own hands after being seen walking around the neighborhood and got ambushed, leading to the loss of their precious hair they grew out because it reminded them of their partial-absent mother.

In the summer before sophomore year Corey carried out a plan to ensure their tormentors would never be able to bully them any longer, and planned on poisoning them at a party they knew they'd be at. However during the party they caught a glimpse of a girl on her own, being passed a new cup of what would kill her, and suddenly smitten, frantically drank from the cup to prevent her from dying, leading to self induced poisoning and their death. Corey woke up six feet underground, in a coffin a few days before the first day of their sophomore year. Their bullies had died, along with dozens of others, and since then their high school life has been rather quiet. They’re still prone to lashing out on reflex due to previous bullying.
