Cornelia Palmer was born and raised in Santa Monica, California and lived there a majority of her life. She was handed practically everything on a silver platter at a young age, with her dad being a successful lawyer and her mother being a plastic surgeon. Wealth was found on both sides of her family with the many successes of those before her. She knew she wanted to become successful one day with a possible photography studio and long list of clientele. Though her dreams were barely lived before it all came to a halt.
Her parents were happily together at the time of the world βendingβ. They wanted to be with Cornelia, but Cornelia had other plans. She took off with a few of her closest friends and her girlfriend at the time. They believed their plan to escape Santa Monica and head for Phoenix, Arizona would make things work, but it didnβt last.
She will never forget the day the world turned to shit. Her best friend Tia came over to her house to tell her something major. Cornelia knew something was off, but tried to refrain questioning anything until Tia revealed the truth. She was bit. One of her friends who made promises they would be each otherβs ride or die til the end of time. This was truly the first time Cornelia ever cried in front of her friend, even though sheβs been vulnerable with her. Tia assured her she would be fine dying to keep Cornelia alive. Cornelia hated this. This was someone she loved, and knowing she wouldnβt be standing with her through it ate her up. Tia requested one more thing before the infection took over her body and it was for Cornelia to sing to her one last time. She kept getting choked up at every word that fell from her lips, but she wanted to fulfill that request before leaving. This was also her first infected kill. A mercy kill.
All these newly turned adults in a small van was almost too much for everyone to handle. Everyone started to get on each otherβs nerves. It was only a matter of time that this crew would not be stable and stick together. Two of Corneliaβs friends went off after multiple disagreements between the whole team. Later on in their travels, they were found turned. It was heartbreaking for Cornelia, but she didnβt show any emotion. She was raised not to feel like that, especially to people who made her feel disrespected. She shot them both down before the remaining three girls went back on the road to wherever. They lost sight of Phoenix after seeing how their former friendβs turned.
Before Cornelia saw the motifs on the way to Nevada in regards to some Safe Zone, she was hesitant with the things she saw in her travels. Is she going to find some kind of sanctuary? Or is this a real trap? She kept seeing signs with her friends and they found their way to the Vegas Safe Zone and she wasnβt fully sure how long itβs been since theyβve been on the road. Itβs been at least a few years of driving around and finding disappointing, scary, threatening, mysterious groups along the way. Corneliaβs girlfriend ended up leaving her before finding Nevada due to her wanting to seek other things and not settle for something like that. It broke Corneliaβs heart a lot more than her two old friends, mostly because this was someone she has faced most of this world with. She always hoped theyβd come back to her, and they could rekindle things.
Cornelia was with the VSZ for at least two years before they merged with Foresight. She has remained optimistic because of the nature of Foresight, though she knew the tensions would be high. Sheβs still a guarded soul and she doesnβt let down her guard as easily as she used to. She would love to see everyone get along with the merge, but she knows that is very 50/50.
Corneliaβs stats: Infected Kills: too many (over 230+) Human Kills: three Mental Health: struggling, but masks a lot.
(I know thereβs lots of things that have not been fully fleshed out with her bio, but I wanted this up sooner. If you like what you see or donβt and want to possibly plot, feel free to send me a message here!! My plots list is open at the moment and Iβll update here with what connections/plots/plot buns are taken.)
