## Appearance

Corinne Zaborowski is a girl who looks her age; ambiguously in her late teens or early twenties. She has curly brown hair that often appears puffy, a large and beak-like nose, and--like her mother--hazel eyes that resemble those that appear on characters in the video game *Omori*. She usually wears a red-and-black striped shirt with two silver rings on the collar. They are typically drawn on the left side of her shirt. She also wears bell bottoms and maroon boots.

Early drawings of her portrayed her with a white button-up shirt and large eyebrows. Her nose used to be larger too, almost resembling a caricature.

## Personality and Interests

Corinne is apathetic, pessimistic, and often grounded to reality. This causes her to be a foil to Angie, who is optimistic and imaginative. Corinne has an interest in Angie's art and fanfictions, often acting as an editor for them, though she denies being a fan of them in public. She tends to have a noticeably nicer side around those she loves and/or cares about (for example, Angie describes her as "something of a shoulder to cry on.")

She is a fan of *Pokémon* and *Animal Crossing*, opinions which came from those of her childhood friend and mom, respectively. She is also known to harbor a lot of nostalgia for the 2000s and the 2010s.

She is also an avid reader of the website TV Tropes, and has contemplated creating an account on many occasions. Ultimately, she has decided against it.

Her appearance in the OC Thread on the Drawception Community Forums describes he with the following bullet points:

* Born 4/18/2000
* Apathy Personified
* Took up writing a while back.
* Didn't choose the 'Hood; the 'Hood chose her.
* Plays Animal Crossing
* Secretly Lesbian... WAIT IT'S A SECRET?!

## Life

Corinne Zaborowski was born on the 18th of April 2000 at 4:19 a.m. to Kris Meyers and Jacob Zaborowski in Williamsburg. She spent the first few years of her life there, though she doesn't really remember most of it.

Due to inflated rent costs, the Meyers-Zaborowski Family--Corinne included--left Williamsburg in September 2003 for the neighborhood of Mott Haven in The Bronx. This was due to the fact that Kris and Jacob had a friend in common there: Shinji Yoneyama. He already had a daughter of his own, who was one year younger than Corinne. They quickly became friends due to shared interests in many things, including writing.

On Corinne's fifth birthday, Angie's aunt, Akari Yoneyama, got both of the girls a Nintendo DS, which sparked an interest in various video games. She also took up drawing as a hobby, though not nearly as much so as Angie.

In early 2006, Corinne began playing the video game *Animal Crossing: Wild World*. Her town was called Dorpje, and she played the game a lot during the rest of the 2000s and the early 2010s.

Around 2007, her and Angie met up with Rita Beck. Corinne claims to have a rivalry with each other.

In 2008, she founds a company alongside her childhood friend as what the latter calls "a side-hustle, if you will". This company--called Zaborowski and Yoneyama--was short-lived and disbanded two years after they founded. Throughout the 2010s, Corinne takes up a role as an editor for Angie, who writes many stories in her spare time.

Around Angie's fifteenth birthday in 2016, Corinne read one of her childhood friend's many stories: *The Deer and the Eagle*. She is bemused upon reading it, and understands why Angie did not want it to be read by others. Nevertheless, the fanfic became a topic of discussion for both of them for the rest of the year and the following year.

She graduated high school in 2018 and took a gap year during 2019. She currently attends a local community college. Following her mother's footsteps, Corinne--now stylizing her name as Corrine--begins writing and publishing a book called *Corrine and Angie and Rita: A Memoir* alongside Angie and Rita. It was published in May of 2024, and was met with acclaim in the community college Corinne attends.

### In the Parallel Universe

In the Parallel Universe founded as a result of *The Strangeness Club*, Corinne has now swapped roles with her ancestor, Carol Zaborowski. Unlike Carol in the Main Universe, she was born three years later and seems to not have a brother.

She was born at an indeterminate point in April 1950, most likely April 18th. She lived through the Cold War and had a son, who in turn had two children: Anton and Carol.

She was a strong opponent of the Maxim Project and its practices. In 1995, the year of the project's completion, she was part of a group that stormed the Maxim Conglomerate's base of operations (which also hosted the Maxim Project) in protest. This unfortunately resulted in her being among "The Thirty Thorns", the thirty casualties of the protest.

## Relationships

### Kris Meyers and Jacob Zaborowski

Corine is usually somewhat dismissive towards her mother, though she--like her mother--cares for her and looks up to her for advice. She behaves similarly towards Jacob, though she is also fascinated by his relationship with Shinji. As a result, Corinne has often pondered the sexuality of her dad.

### Angie Yoneyama

Corinne had been a reliable friend of Angie since around they were toddlers, though she is often irritated by her hyperfixations and self-shipping urges, which she made clear in a conversation around 2007. She is also visibly disappointed in the messiness of Angie's corkboard, making the claim that she needs to tidy up around it.

### Akari Yoneyama

Corinne finds Akari to be somewhat attractive, though not in a romantic way since Akari was already married to Tomika once Corinne found out about her.

### Carol Zaborowski

Corinne never saw her grand-aunt Carol and only knows about her via passing knowledge of her from Jacob. From what Corinne knows, she thinks highly of Carol and was noticeably upset at her death in 2021.

### Rita Beck

Corinne and Rita are rivals, but consider each other friends nonetheless. They tend to bicker with each other over minor things. It is known that Rita is a close friend of Corinne despite their rivalry, and are both part of a three-way friendship alongside Angie. Corinne claims that she "was closer to Rita [than Rita was with Angie] from the get-go," implying that their rivalry began sometime after 2007. By Year 5, Volume 6 of *The Beverly Chronicles* (corresponding roughly to June 2010), Corinne and Rita are portrayed as being at their wits' end with each other.

## Trivia

* According to *The Beverly Chronicles*, Corinne's blood type is A.
	+ Contrary to the Blood Type Personality Theory, she behaves more in line with those with blood type O. (According to the theory, people with blood type A are friendly and kind, while those with Type-O blood are more assertive).
* It is suggested that she started learning Yiddish by the start of 2016, which makes her trilingual (she is known to have taken a Spanish class around this time). She also seems to know a small amount of Japanese, enough to briefly hold a conversation with Angie's paternal grandmother Setsuko Yoneyama, a native Japanese speaker, without either speaking English.
* She is an atheist.
* *Power Dynamics* features a character named Korinn--the moirail of Andzie Caprik--who is implied to be Angie inserting Corinne into the story.
* Her shirt is based on one Hunter owns in real life.
