Pronouns: she/they but doesn’t especially care if others are used
Sexuality: lesbian, but she doesn’t know it yet. Kind of in that “oh of course I like boys i'm just busy,” phase
Sylph Type: Cockatrice! Because there are a lot of different physical versions of em, here's basically what i mean: head/neck/front legs like a hippogriff, wings that are feathered while also ridged somewhat like a bat’s, bottom of the torso and tail is a snake. Dark red feathers and kind of mossy grey-brown-green scales, with the occasion shoot of red or brighter green
Hair color: really dark brown looks black in some lightings
Hair style: straight but very thick, hangs past her shoulders, always down
Eye color: warm yellow (sylph), ????? (human)
Height: 5’3 (human); 7’2 (sylph) standing normally on all fours (two legs and a tail technically but shhhh), rearing up would be 16’8, full length is 50’4
Build: scrawny and kind of wiry, (human), a terrifying bird-lizard-snake (sylph)
Clothes: wears black cargo pants and a variety of grey shirts. In colour, not style- they are all long-sleeved. Black cloth gloves, mirror glasses, worn but overall good shape sneakers, a dull green backpack.
Occupation: Local Cryptid in a town of Cryptids. It’s a tough job.
Personality: Cordelia is desperate for friendship and genuine companionship, but she’s also deathly afraid of living creatures, for a myriad of reasons. So even while she can’t help but reach out to those around her, she does it in a very strange way, quiet and on high alert for any aggression.
Cordelia is very anxious, and occasionally comes across as paranoid.
She likes to just have things, like little rocks and smashed figurines, and to take the time to look at the people and scenery all around her.
Pretends to think she's better than everyone else in an almost subconscious bid for others to hate her- self sacrificing bastard
For a girl who lives in the woods? Not at all feral. Probably the least feral person you’ll ever meet, Cordelia just doesn’t let herself.
Backstory: Hatched from an egg laid by a rooster and incubated by a toad (so no parents) Cockatrices are rare and really good at killing things, so Cordelia got a lot of people trying to make her do what they wanted and/or trying to kill her. Was essentially on the run for 15 years, came to earth as an escape. Has killed a few people when they got really, really, close to catching her, but never on accident. But only because she knows how easy it would be.
Important or additional information: unreasonable (at least at first) attachment to Jay because he’s a bird and an adult. Subconscious recognizes him as Father Figure (in a bird way though not in a human way, it’s much more chill than that).
Befriended a group of weasels
Smashes figurines she got from the Cryptonomica, the ones that look like the sylphs who hurt her.
Has a lot (a LOT) of cool rocks in her cave
Stays in Sylph form whenever alone in the woods, which mama hates her for.
