Cora

This is basically how I imagine Cora to look.

Cora Patterson is the oldest of "The Girls", as Mina has affectionately started calling them. She is one of the rebel mages who was in Redcliffe when Mina recruited them. **WARNING: SPOILERS AND POTENTIALLY TRIGGERING CONTENT AHEAD**

## Biography

### **History**

Cora arrived in the Circle around the same time as Roselyn and Abigail, and they quickly became friends and all got Harrowed within a week of each other. While there, she met this mage named Theodore and fell in love with him. They started having sex soon after Cora had her first monthly bleeding. However, she forgot to take a witherstalk potion once and got pregnant. Knowing she will have to give up the baby if she carries it to full term, or worse, be made tranquil, she decides to magically abort the baby at about 4-5 months in. It is done in secret one night, and she burns the evidence of it all, never telling anyone except Theodore until she shows Mina the memory of it.

### **In-game**

#### **Inquisition**

Once Mina recruits the rebel mages as full allies, Cora goes to Haven with everyone else. The day Mina gets back from the Fallow Mire is when they meet. The four form a friendship, and Mina considers them part of her Inner Circle from that day forward.

Soon after arriving in Skyhold, Mina spars with Cora, Abigail, and Roselyn all at once, only for the Inquisitor to best them all quite quickly. Afterwards, Theodore says he wants to spar with Mina, only to attempt to use blood magic to gain the upper hand. Mina notices this before she even accepts his sparring challenge, and Eva and Cassandra are able to apprehend him. Cora sees this and starts to doubt the feelings she thought she had for him. Mina takes her to a secluded location to talk to her, where the young mage confesses almost everything besides the pregnancy to her. They then leave to talk to Theodore, who is now in the dungeons. Cora goes off on him, asking if he forced her to like him and have sex with him. He says he did, and Mina magically castrates him and feeds him his own balls after Leliana follows Cora out after the latter ran off crying tears of anger and sadness.

The night after Mina becomes Inquisitor, she gives Cora, Roselyn, and Abigail a proper sex talk. Just after two in the morning, while Roselyn and Abigail are still sleeping in Mina's tent, Cora puts a ward between them and her and the Inquisitor before waking her up. She then tries to tell Mina about the abortion, only to stutter uncontrollably and not be able to. Mina suggests showing her the memory of it, and that's what she ends up doing. Afterwards, she falls asleep crying in Mina's arms.

## **OC Questions I have answered**

*Note: these are how I answered the questions on a whim, so the details may change if and when I do write them in my story, but they are likely to remain at least roughly the same. Also, these are copied and pasted into a word document directly from where I answered them in Discord, so if you notice anything that is repeated, that might be just because I pretty much had to give context every time. Any questions I may ask don't need to be answered. That is just what I asked someone on the discord server. Also, please ignore any spelling/grammar mistakes. I'm a lot different grammar wise when on Discord lol. Anything in both italics and parentheses is something I added here and is not part of my original answer. If it's not in both, it was part of my original answer. Ignore anything about PMing someone about the triggering things. That was just put there because I'm not allowed to talk about the triggering topics as freely on discord as I am here.*
