## Physiology

Cora is a Shiny Pokemon, and as a result suffers from numerous conditions that result in her being considered ineligible for professional combat. She is physically and psychically weaker than most Gardevoir, and far below the prowess of Lily's Gardevoir. This has resulted in her finding herself exceptionally skilled at support techniques and healing, which has proved to be extremely useful in working at the sanctuary. She has also spent more time developing precise psychic abilities than her raw power and mastering the ability to project her telekinesis to people other than her Bondmate.

### Illness

Corazon had suffered a chronic illness for most of her life, a degenerative illness that slowly degraded her body and made her increasingly unhealthy. Though she managed it, she was only slowing the inevitable. It gradually weakened her immune system, destroyed her mobility, and was often compared to ALS, a similar illness in humans. In 2022, Corazon's illness had progressed to needing near constant bedrest. Her illness led to Honeycrisp being extremely distressed at the prospect of losing her. Unable to watch the little girl be so depressed, G forcibly and quickly stitched a mating bond between Honey and Corazon, much to Lily's abject horror.

Though it succeeded in stabilizing Corazon's health and eventually bringing her to her feet after a long recovery, with the promise she would live as long as Honey did, both adults spent months anxiously waiting to see the inevitable consequences. To their surprise, Corazon came to view herself as Honey's additional mother, unconsciously referring to her as 'my daughter' on many occasions. This fundamentally changed the understanding of how mating bonds worked, leading to Marah explaining that the term "mating bond" was coined by humans and never used by Psychic Pokemon outside of communicating with humans. The bond in question, though strong, was always capable of being romantic, platonic, or familial with Marah echoing Lily's own sentiments about love being universal.

## Personality

In stark contrast to Lily's Gardevoir, Corazon is extremely well-mannered and ladylike. She approaches everything from speech to Pokemon care with a pronounced delicateness. She is also extremely warm and inviting to Cadenza's friends, being happy to see Lily when she visits. This puts her at odds with Lily's Gardevoir, who sees Cora as sellout and having been "tamed."

## Relationships

### Cadenza

Cora is extremely close to Cadenza and, like Lily's Gardevoir, lives in the house with her. Cora is considered part of the family.

### Honeycrisp

Cora loves Honeycrisp intensely, having "adopted" her like a foster niece and is extremely protective of her. Honey calls her "Auntie Cora".

### Lily's Gardevoir

Cora and Gardevoir do not get along at all, as both of them view the other as an embarrassment to their species. Gardevoir resents Cora for appearing to be tamed and leashed to her trainer, while Cora resents Gardevoir for her treatment of herself, Honey, and even Lily. Cora has on multiple occasions branded Gardevoir a hypocrite, and claims she only makes the accusations of being "tamed" toward her because she's insecure about her closeness with Lily. After Lily told Cadenza about the mating bond G had formed, Cora's distaste for Gardevoir only magnified.
