name: Katrina Cornwell, Vice-Admiral
romantic orientation: straight / too busy to explore much else
preferred pet names: Love
relationship status: divorced, currently single
favorite canon ship: prime!Lorca/prime!Cornwell, previously (and perhaps in the future again) Cornwell/McCoy
favorite non-canon ship: Paris/Georgiou - she wants her friends to be happy
opinion on true love: She believes in the idea, but not the reality of it always working out.
opinion on love at first sight: Yes, with conditions. Looking back she fell for her ex-husband very quickly. She knew pretty much from the minute she saw him that she wanted him, but didn’t realize that it would turn out to be for more than just one night.
how ‘romantic’ are they?: On a scale of 1 - 10, she’s about a 5. She appreciates the sentiment when it’s given by others, but she rarely goes out of her way to be romantic in a traditional sense. She’s fine without flowers or chocolates, she’d rather have that love and appreciation spread out over the years in a million little, ordinary ways.
ideal physical traits: She likes a good head of hair, something she can run her fingers through, and strong arms to hold her tight.
ideal personality traits: intelligence, she likes observant people - ones that will challenge her, someone she can let her guard down around. And, being a very sexual person herself, she needs someone who is not self-conscious or inhibited.
unattractive physical traits: She is rarely judgmental about her appearance, but dislikes how she looks after she’s been crying or not had enough sleep.
unattractive personality traits: she can be harsh, at times brutally honest.
ideal date: glass of good wine or whiskey and staring at the stars. Either outside in the grass, or from under the covers.
do they have a type?: She needs someone that will challenge her. So, other men in power, those with a clearly defined goal for their careers and lives, and who are able to be independent while still in a relationship. She’s so attached to her own career she can’t be left feeling responsible for someone else’s personal satisfaction as well.
average relationship length: she’s maintained a casual, on-again, off-again friends-with-benefits thing with Gabriel for the better part of thirty years. Her marriage, however, was very short, just over a year.
preferred non-sexual intimacy: Occupying the same space, silently. Reading, or listening to music. She also enjoys art exhibits when there’s time.
commitment level: This is tough. She tricks herself, she wants to want a serious commitment and stability, she likes the idea of it. But the only real serious commitment she’s made in her life was to Starfleet. She was in love with Leonard, wanted it to work, but when he became uncomfortable with her career and suspicious of her other relationships, that was the end of that.
opinion of public affection: With Gabriel, never. Their relationship was hush-hush from day one. With Leonard it was different, he wasn’t in Starfleet. It was the only time she’d ever been able to be openly affectionate and she enjoyed that very much.
past relationships?: one serious boyfriend, one failed marriage and one long-term friends-with-benefits thing.
