PERSONALITY
Personality
Cora is a complex mix of emotions. With virtually no family that comes to see her often she is nothing but
an angry and irritated husky of a person wearing black. She uses her words as weapons mostly because she's too
weak to lash out physically, and hardly lets people into her personal space. If anything she'd rather take a
knife to herself than try and make friends around some sort of pity group. When she does find some
people to hang on to, mostly the therapy animals that come in sometimes thanks to the
nurses, she tends to be a lot kinder. More protective of those who trust her
than anything she often tries to keep many out more than let them in,
which is why most people call her emo chick.

BACKGROUND
Cora was born into a regular family, if regular was a family full of nut jobs. Her family seemed alright on the outside, though
her father stayed at home to take care of her. When she was just 8 years old Cora was in a car accident with her family.
Her father, who it turns out after medical examination had been high on several forms of drugs causing a
overdose, crashed into another car at 20 miles over the speed limit. Cora and her mother escaped with
minor bruises and bumps and bruises. Her brother was sent to the ICU where he later
died because of a brain swell that caused brain death.
To make matters worse now living on her own with her mother Cora was forced to uproot everything.
She didn't even realize why her mother was so overprotective of her, not allowing her to
run around outside or play with other kids after the accident. At first Cora thought it was because her
mother cared, but it turned out she just wanted to avoid more medical bills. At the age of
15 Cora collapsed during school and had to be rushed to the hospital. She was then transferred to Honeyoak's
hospital while she waits for an important heart transplant since the hole in her heart which
had been repaired when she was young, has reopened and is growing larger.
