Cordy Davenport
Last Updated: December 29, 2025
Early Life
Born Cordelia Victoria Davenport to Charlotte and Philip Davenport in Greenwich, CT, she was not the "heir" her parents had expected, both hoping for a boy. That didn't stop her from following her father and everything he did, asking to go with him to the office occasionally. After her brother, Philip "Lip" was born, she became attached to him and even adopted his nickname for her, Cordy. She only allows those closest to call her that; to everyone else she is Cordelia. Cordy and Lip were thick as thieves growing up and she was extremely protective of him, even ending friendships over him. Despite being a little jealous of how their father treated Lip as opposed to her, it only made Cordy work even harder to be recognized.
Teen Years
As a teenager, Cordy was very popular among her peers. She attended an all-girl's high school, but occasionally mingled with the boys at Lip's school. However, she was careful of what boys she gave attention too. She didn't look at dating as a playing field, but as a lab to find her future in. Cordy made sure to stay focused on her goals. Always feeling the need to prove herself to her father that she can and should be his successor. She was the top in all classes including her AP classes. Lip was the only person who would remind her to relax and let loose and not take everything so serious all the time. With her brother's help and encouragement, she threw some of the biggest parties. At one such party, she caught Lip in the butler's pantry with one of her friends and immediately cut off said friend and lectured Lip that he needs to be more careful with the company he keeps. She gave the valedictorian speech at her high school graduation.
Life at University
As several Davenports had before her, Cordy attended Yale University, receiving a full ride - not that her family needed it. She enjoyed living in New Haven, even deciding to stay if she couldn't prove to her father that she deserved a position at Davenport & Sons. Cordy worked ever so hard to earn his respect. Phil's tune began to change when she earned a bachelor's degree in business, but he still didn't offer her a job in the company. So, Cordy remained in New Haven to pursue her master's.
Finding Love
While pursuing her master's, she went on plenty of dates. Some might describe Cordy's dating life as methodical, similar to how she studied for her classes. It was a turn off for most, but a few seemed to admire her drive. Having brought home plenty of men that her mother approved of, but none of them were the right fit. One day while on her way to work, she came across self-proclaimed clown, Roger Bolton. He was making balloon animals. When he saw Cordy, he got down on one knee and presented a balloon flower to her. She laughed and took it, apologizing for having to rush off. She began seeing him around campus and the two began spending more time together. He was nothing like the men she had previously dated, but he was refreshing. Falling in love with him after seeing how easily he took her parents' initial interrogation after meeting them for the first time. She knew he would never be bothered by the pressures of her family.
Being the strong independent woman she was, Cordy wanted to be the one to propose. She learned how to make a diamond ring with balloons, knowing it would surprise Roger. Coincidentally, when she surprised Roger, he also surprised her with a real ring. They eloped with Lip as their witness, much to her mother's chagrin.
Business and Family
Finally getting the respect she so craved throughout her life from her father, she earned her spot in Davenport & Sons. Wanting to wait to start a family until she had worked her way to a higher position in the company, she was grateful for how understanding Roger was. However, an unplanned pregnancy threw a wrench into her plans. Her father suggested, she leave the company and focus on being a mother, but she wanted to prove to him that she could do both. Finding a balance between business and family, Cordy made sure she didn’t miss a single milestone after Amelia was born. Proving her father wrong, she made vice-president of the company by the time her daughter was three years old.
She lives in Manhattan with her clown husband and their daughter, and they are planning to expand the family.
