Cordelia

Gender: Female Birthday: July 7 Nationality: Ylissean Starting Class: Pegasus Knight

Appearance: Cordelia has waist length red hair with matching red eyes. She wears a sleeveless crimson dress with matching crimson thigh-high boots. Over the dress she wears a silver breastplate to hide her modestly sized bust, and silver armor that covers the top side of her arms, with elbow length crimson gloves underneath.

Personality: Hailed as a genius by many, Cordelia is a perfectionist who can easily do most things flawlessly with utter ease. As a result, Cordelia can come off as arrogant and she admits she is a bit ill-tempered. Despite her talents, she dislikes being referred to as a genius as it reminds her of her Pegasus Knight Squadron who hazed her mercilessly for her talents. Ironically, she has low self-esteem and tends to downplay her achievements. Cordelia is dissatisfied with the term "average" and aims to achieve perfect mastery in her skills and whatever she sets her mind to, with it being noted that it's her greatest strength and weakness. At times, she can go overboard with her level of effort. She's described as a workaholic, as she continuously frets over unfinished work for the army and stresses over it, even exhausting herself too much by trying to do too much on her own. In some ways, her work ethic contributed to the hazing her platoon members gave her, but it was only upon their deaths did she realize that they were serious in their belief in her and continues to fight for their legacy. Phila served as Cordelia's main mentor during her recruit days and thus holds she great respect towards her. She admires her combat prowess and also hopes on becoming as good of a harpist as Phila apparently was. Her death weighed heavily on her. She also has a close relationship with Sumia, her childhood friend and fellow Pegasus Knight recruit. While she dismisses the unreliable nature of Sumia's flower fortunes, she accepts Sumia's ritual for what it is worth after hearing her reasoning and the two hold steadfast loyalty and belief in each other's capabilities. Cordelia has strong, unrequited feelings for Chrom ever since he saved her during an incident when she tried to do too much on her own, but she keeps them hidden since she knows that he has feelings for someone else; thus, making a relationship with him impossible. Around Chrom, she acts quite nervous, tense, and overwhelmed by emotion when around him, having a hard time every time she speaking to him, once even fainting at the idea of physical contact with him. She is shown to be embarrassed by her modest bust size, constantly wearing her breastplate to make it seem that her breasts are bigger than they really are. Cordelia sighs the most in the army.
