Fighting Style:
Cordelia’s fighting style revolves around the ability to confuse her opponents and then go in for the kill/defeat. Having less training than an average hunter in training, Cordelia relies more on her natural ability, her speed, endurance, and quick thinking, than her aura. In doing so, she plays a ninja like role, confusing opponents with illusions, then slashing or stabbing with her daggers.
Semblance: Procidat Deceptionem - Cordelia’s semblance is illusions, or layered illusions. The illusions come into multiple layers, so one the affected person thinks they are, there is a good chance that they are not. The illusions are usually realistic, but there are others that do border fantasy. Illusions affect both the senses and sight of the person.
Limitations to Semblance: The illusions can not physically harm the afflicted. In order for the illusion to be cast, Cordelia must either make eye contact, or come into physical contact with the target. Illusions, depending on the amount of layers, can use miniscule, or large amounts of aura.
Personality:
A humble, energetic, and determined soul, Cordelia is not one for illusions about herself, or the world in which she lives. She is a very realistic soul, having very few fantasies to be considered. She does not believe that the world is all bad or all good, she sees the conflict that arises and wants to stop it. However, not having the multiple years of training like other hunters in training, Cordelia lacks a certain fortitude and constitution in battle. She is prone to battle shock and fear.
Cordelia is however, a determined soul. She is spirited and forceful in her attempts for anything. “Fall down seven times, rise up eight” is her motto. Or I think it is? Was it “To succeed you must first fail?” Or was it “If you can match my resolve, you can succeed?” I don’t remember. But she has a never say die attitude. Cordelia is also known for having that empathetic touch to comfort anyone she very meets, getting them to spill their worries, and then have them alleviated. She’s good like that.
Fears:
Cordelia fears many things. One is the loss of her talent for music. Another is the death of her beloved Orion Schnee. It’s not even his death, but a descent into a dark path that she knows she won’t be able to follow.
Bio:
Born to a fairly unknown family in Mistral, Cordelia was a rising star in music. She was a violinist, and if not the best, she was one of the best in all of Remnant. She had made a name for herself, composing numerous musical compositions by herself, which although did not receive high praise outside of Mistral, carried her name around all of Mistral. Once word did get out of an up and coming star violinist, Cordelia and her family moved to the kingdom of Atlas so she could attend one of the best music academies in the world.
Moving to Atlas was not easy for Cordelia. She was the odd one out, the new kid on the block, and the stranger from a distant land. She wasn’t too sure how to handle herself in Atlas, or if she even wanted to continue her pursuit for a musical career. Dropping out of the academy without her parent’s approval, Cordelia would run away for a few months and live with her aunt and uncle within Atlas. Her aunt and uncle were workers within the Schnee Dust Company. They managed trade routes and supply lines of Dust for the company. It is through her aunt and uncle that she met the love of her life, her only love, her little snow cone, Orion Frost Schnee.
Now one might be thinking, Orion Frost Schnee, as in the Edge Lord? The one who dated Iola ‘Executioner’ Sakra? The one who has a fetish for strangely colored hair? Yeah, that one. Anyway, back on task....
How Orion and Cordelia met was quite a tale, or not really. Cordelia would often perform in the public parks of Atlas during the day, entertaining children, parents, and even the few Atlesian soldiers who were on patrol. Orion, who happened to be in the area, heard the tell tale signs of a violinist, and a good one at that. Being the curious soul he was, Orion managed to spot a view of the girl playing.
Now the rest of the story is a cliched as fook ‘love at first sight’ bull crap, but come on. Cut me some slack. I thought it was pretty cute. Eventually though, the fairy tale would have to end…
Cordelia, after having been taken back to Atlas by her family, and the subsequent break up with Orion, would then leave on her own to learn how to fight and become a Huntress. Modifying her violin to become a sheath for a pair of twin daggers, Cordelia would learn to fight, and utilize her semblance to get stronger so one day she could stand by Orion’s side. It is also noted that she has promised Orion to “Marry him when he returns to Atlas.”
