1/2
Corey is a preteen boy with short spiky medium brown hair with an undercut and hazel eyes. His outfits are relatively simple and casual. As in Style With Substance: Savvy, Corey brought up to Iris that he likes any clothing as long as they are suited for sports. He is most commonly seen in his basketball jersey (with the occasional basketball by his side). It is also shown that Corey has a bandage on the right side of his cheek.

In Joni's dream as an adult, Corey wore a red and gray hoodie over a white shirt with long gray pants and was seen carrying a blue sports bag. His hairstyle was also a little different and he still has a bandage on his cheek.

In Season 2 Corey's overall appearance has not changed much other than his undercut is now black and his hair grew out a little.

## Personality

Corey is a cheerful and active individual who enjoys sports. He is also rather competitive, as he tend to be moody when he lost to Peter (even when he got 2nd place in the taekwondo sparring competition in Girls On Guard, he sulked because he wanted to win). However, he recovered very quickly, and can be said to have a carefree nature. He has a more sensitive side that he displays towards Emilia, even though it is rarely seen.

## Character Interview

3. **Question:** After defeating Asuka, do you still keep in touch with him?

4. **Question:** Do you aspire to become a doctor like your mother in the future?
