Appearance

Standing about 160cm tall, Cordelia is a slight, delicate-looking woman who could vanish quite easily in a crowd. She wears her dark blond hair to neck length, and no jewelry or ornaments except for a crucifix chain at times.

Many have remarked that the first thing they notice about her is her eyes, which a poetically inclined ex-colleague once likened to "Uncut sapphires long left / To mercy of wind and sand". They peer out at the world from behind plain square glasses: tired, unfocused, as if she is perpetually distracted by something only she can see.

Personality

Cordelia is the model of a stereotypical introvert: timid, awkward, conflict-averse and armed with an online persona far more outgoing and witty than she is.

Her reclusive lifestyle and lack of any real circle of friends have done no favors for either her understanding of the world or her interpersonal skills. Compounding this is an almost pathological shyness. She doesn't talk a lot, and when she does, it is often without much thought; surprise and even hurt tend to follow if others take offense.

Past all that, however, she is a good-hearted person who is always up for reaching out a helping hand. That is, if she can push it past the social anxiety first.

Additional Info

In her spare time, Cordelia enjoys reading and writing (especially poetry) and listening to music (stuff many would consider old-timey and 'granpappy', mostly). Prior to being recruited by the Templars, she also took to indulging her interest in firearms at local shooting clubs, which earned her her nickname, 'Cordelia Cordite', from teasing co-workers.

• Playtimes: weeknights and weekends, GMT/UTC+8.
• Can only do synchronous/in-game RP on weekends mostly, due to timezone.
• RP preferences: mundane life, adventure/mission, long plots. Limited romance. No ERP or permadeath.
• Lore-adherent (in-game content is king), but willing to bend it within reason.
• Big on IC/OOC separation and respect for others' RP preferences. Extremely low tolerance for OOC drama.
• Non-TSW player (just dabbled a bit on the old forums).
