[h2][color=lightpink]Cori Woods[/color] [color=cccccc]|[/color] [color=lightpink]29[/color] [color=cccccc]|[/color] [color=lightpink]Female[/color][/h2][/center]
[justify][indent][color=lightpink][b]Apperance:[/b][/color] [color=cccccc]Due to her albinism, Cori is almost always given a second glance. Her extremely fair complexion and white hair is stunning to say the least. Vanilla, she may look sickly to those who don't understand [i]why[/i] she looks the way she does, but she is very conscientious of her appearance: her makeup adds a healthy color to her face and darkness to her lips and eyelashes. Her haunting red eyes are almost always hidden behind stereotypical Men in Black sunglasses, partly to protect them against the sun, but also because she's self conscious about the strange color. She stands tall for a woman at 5'8", and she has a lean, boyish figure. Underneath the clothing, her body is hard with muscle. As for the clothes themselves, Cori wears enough to conceal a weapon even in civilian life. At work, she wears suits.[/color]

[color=lightpink][b]Religion:[/b][/color] [color=cccccc]Raised Catholic, doesn't practice[/color]

[color=lightpink][b]Sexuality:[/b][/color] [color=cccccc]Heterosexual[/color]

[color=lightpink][b]Occupation:[/b][/color] [color=cccccc]CIA Field Agent, working her way to Senior Agent[/color]

[color=lightpink][b]Abilities:[/b][/color] 
[indent][color=cccccc][color=lightpink]Incredible marksmanship.[/color]
[indent]If it weren't for her goals, she may have taken a more combative approach to her career, but she can already out shoot a majority of her coworkers.[/indent][color=lightpink]Hand-to-hand combat.[/color]
[indent]While Cori isn't outstanding in this area compared to other agents, it's a necessary skill within the field. Influence from martial arts is seen in her combative style, but the physical training has benefited her moreso in stamina and endurance rather than strength.[/indent][color=lightpink]Leadership skills.[/color]
[indent]Professionally, Cori will not hesitate to be critical of another person or [i]suggest[/i] what they should or should not do. She is well spoken and blunt when angered. She is not the most charismatic leader, but she is practical and straight forward and is comfortable telling others what to do.[/indent][color=lightpink]Bilingual.[/color]
[indent]English is her first language, French her second out of choice. In her time in the CIA, she has also learned Russian and Mandarin, and she's working on Arabic.[/indent][color=lightpink]Amateur automechanic.[/color]
[indent]Cori had always been a bit of a tomboy, and one her leisure hobbies include cars: fixing them, driving them, and buying them. As a result, she has the skills to take care of of them and keep up on maintenance herself.[/indent][/color][/indent]
[color=lightpink][b]Faults:[/b][/color]
[indent][color=cccccc][color=lightpink]Albinism.[/color]
[indent]affects her eyesight and therefore her marksmanship. She is required by her job to have an eye examination every six months and earlier if she suspects she'll need a change in prescription. She, of course, wears contacts (or glasses on those rare days she's lounging about the house).[/indent][color=lightpink]Youth.[/color]
[indent]Cori may be approaching 30, but she has taken on a position that could've been handed onto an agent with more years and experience. However, her adoptive father works a little higher up in the hierarchy, and she has demonstrated her ambition in properly serving her country. She'll work with something to prove.[/indent][color=lightpink]Tobacco.[/color]
[indent]A nasty habit, but Cori does smoke. She smokes 2-3 cigarettes a day, but has been trying to cut back, if not quit.[/indent][color=lightpink]Unlikable.[/color]
[indent]Cori is not very charismatic. She's stubborn and can be relentless petty when she feels personally attacked. On a personal, one-on-one level she is difficult to get along with, and she strives in professional environments over personal life.[/indent][/color]
[/indent]
[color=lightpink][b]Power:[/b][/color] [color=cccccc]N/A[/color] 

[color=lightpink][b]Personality:[/b][/color] [color=cccccc]Cori's personality is straight forward and one can take a guess just observing her gait: she walks tall and proud, a frown on her lips. As one might judge, she's confident--often arrogant--and lacks a sense of humor. It may be because of her gender and young age in this particular career, but she is conscious about how she presents herself and takes the job seriously. She is rarely caught relaxing or slacking off, and she wants her immediate environment in her control. Despite all this, she [i]is[/i] caring to people. She's generous, and can be surprisingly warm at times. There is also underlying insecurity, of course, but she is strong and pushes such thoughts aside in order to reach her goals. Doing excellent in all aspects of life gives her self worth. Beyond her core personality, her interests include cars, guns, and classic country music.[/color]

[color=lightpink][b]History:[/b][/color] [color=cccccc]Cori Woods comes not from humble beginnings, but from [i]humbled[/i] beginnings. She was born into riches, her mother a retired model and her father the CEO of one of the most prestigious interior design companies. So when they died in a tragic accident, the adoption process for Cori was stressful and long: child services and lawyers were eager to place her in a home where she would be cared for, rather than used for the inheritance that would include millions of dollars and rights to the company. After two years of drifting between foster homes while agents worked to find a permanent solution for the young Cori, she was adopted by a loving couple at age ten, one a rising star within the CIA. 

Cori grew with dignity and grace, maybe groomed for it by the parents she lost. Though when she reached eighteen, she rejected ownership of the company. Instead, she chose to follow in her adopted father's footsteps and took to law. She started on the police force as she worked through college and eventually the CIA's training program. Like everything else in life, she excelled, and was usually the first of her peers approached when an upper level position needed filled. Rising so high at such a young age, of course, earned disdain from some co-workers (who would become [i]her[/i] employees), but she strove to be great anyway.

Enter: the accident. The blackout, the electrical storms...And suddenly, citizens of the world with superpowers were appearing, like something out of those over-hyped superhero movies Cori had zero interest in she'd insist with a nervous laugh... One of the first within the CIA to act two weeks ago, she insisted on learning all that she could about the strange new humanoids. However, all she could find at first was that they were dangerous, and--for her--it meant detaining them to protect innocent civilians. Employees under her would be working to research suitable technology and techniques to handle these super humans and she personally delved into research about where, how, and why they even appeared. 

Her research and agents lead her to straight to what she needed: information on an unknown (to her) organization called Coalition. Intrigued, she went about creating a small task force that could retrieve information on them. Unfortunately, it may have been her eagerness to get the bottom of this situation had costed her men their lives. She had been too careless and she had hired a Coalition agent who took the intelligence, as well. Desperate to get it back--without putting more innocent lives at risk--she sought help outside the CIA. Through a web of contacts, Kieran was hired, and Cori will only be meeting him in person for the first time to collect the information.[/color]
