[centre][b]Appearance:[/b] Standing at a height of 5'6 and clocking in at 152 pounds, Cornelia retains a pale complexion due largely to her preference of staying indoors. Her hair is a dark-blonde and usually lies loose or in a simple ponytail.[/centre]

[centre]For clothing, Cordelia prefers solid, dark colours and ranges them across a series of simple button-ups, cigarette trousers and various cardigans and jumpers. On her feet she wears sneakers for daily use, and cuban heeled boots for occasions. Her most constant item of clothing is her black duster jacket, the first item of clothing she brought when she moved to Bucharest.[/centre] 

[centre][b]Bio\history:[/b][/centre]
[centre]Born in London, England, Cornelia is the lasting result of a short, but fairly successful marriage between Nicolae Pavel, the previous First Secretary at the Romanian Embassy in London, and Denise Harvey, a celebrated Curator of Prints and Drawings at the British Museum. Due to the divorce of her parents and the subsequent reassignment of her Father back to Romania shortly after Cornelia entered infancy, Cornelia grew up largely centred in her Mothers way of life in London, the majority of communication with her Father being through phonecalls, letters and the occasional weekend visit. Quiet and studious, Cornelia never felt particulary invested in the emotional aspects of her familial background, never recognising her parents separation as difficult or a hindrance to her life. Instead, Cornelia carted herself along through life at a fairly mundane pace, seemingly uncaring of social engagements, and became diagnosed with depression at the age of 13.[/centre]

[centre]Cornelia's first visit to Romania was at the age of 14 when she was invited to attend her Father's second marriage in Bucharest where she found herself enchanted with the city, the trip recieved as a breath of fresh air amid Cornelia's ongoing battle with depression. Due to her interest in Romania, Cornelia found herself carted back and forth between England and Romania over the next four years, distrupting her studies but allowing her a more exciting and invigorating dynamic from which to grow creatively. Through this, Cornelia discovered she had inherited her Mother's passion for the Classics, and decided to settle down again in London, entering the Courtauld Institute and committing to an Art History degree.[/centre]

[centre]Following graduation, Cornelia attempted her previous back-and-forth between England and Romania again, and decided to permanently relocate to Romania, seeking to continue her studies there. Although at first she lived at her Fathers house in Iași, Cornelia opted to move to Bucharest following disagreements with her Stepmother and a resurgence of her depression, deciding to try 'going it alone' in her social and cultural treatment. Though she dabbled in a Masters Programme at the UNArte, Cornelia ultimately dropped out and now instead spends her days at home, wandering around the city or teaching English at a small informal school in Central Bucharest.[/centre]

[centre]Cornelia came to being turned due to her penchant for late night walks around the streets of Bucharest, where one night she happened to come across a charming and exceedingly approachable gentleman over coffee at a 24-hour cafe. Although she wasn't romantically drawn to the man, Cornelia did appreciate his ease at conversation and availability, and was grateful to gain a friend in a city where she didn't really have anyone outside of her students and the occasional neighbour she'd nod to. Over the next few weeks they entertained a friendly and refreshing relationship of museum visits and cafe stops until Cornelia's aquaintance announced that he would be leaving the country for a while, departing with a short kiss to the corner of Cornelia's lips and a set of twin holes in her neck.[/centre] 

Overcome by a sudden fever following her friends departure, Cornelia confined herself to her apartment, unable to escape the brutal waves of illness enough to even venture outside to seek medical assistance or pick up the phone to call for help. Over the course of mere days Cornelia suffered through an agonising and bizarre metamorphosis, where her heartbeat raced up to uncalculatable speeds one minute before dropping to one beat every three seconds the next, and where her fingernails dropped off only to periodically grow back sharper and cleaner. The entire debacle soon cultimated three days into the ordeal where a frail Cornelia passed her last breath hunched over a toliet rim following a grim bout of vomiting. Her turning complete, Cordelia awoke two days later, throat burning and eyes blinking at the new light.

[centre][b]Specialty Power:[/b][/centre]
[centre][b]Telepathy - [/b]Standing in stark contrast to her lack of interest in most other people, Cornelia finds herself bombarded with the ability to peer into their most guarded and intimate thoughts. Though she can activate this ability through her own will, her mind-reading ability usually acts on it's own, delivering other peoples thoughts to Cornelia against her will at a continuous and sometimes vicious pace, making traversing through crowded spaces difficult and even torturous for Cornelia post-turning. With some keen practise however, she could definitely get her ability under control.[/centre]

[centre][b]Drifting -[/b] Similar to Invisibility, Drifting is a form of traversing under little to no detection, however in place of total concealment under Invisibility, Drifting can have anyone glimpse Cornelia by chance, usually for a second and mostly just out of the corner of their eye. This helps to instill a sense of paranoia in the individual as they question their own perception and whether or not they actually did see Cornelia. This ability can have darker properties of assisting in mental torture, however, Cornelia's prefered use of her ability is to help her escape quickly and seamlessly from crowded places when her Telepathy escapes from her control.[/centre]

[centre][b]Other:[/b] Though not a seasoned cook, Cornelia is skilled with pasta dishes and soups. She likes to listen to either Classical music or Indie Rock, and is a fan of the band Of Verona. Cornelia, whilst not an Atheist, has never been particularly religious. Cornelia is Asexual. She likes pets but doesn't live in a building that allows them, fufilling the need instead by caring for a small collection of cactus.[/centre]
