[/hider] [color=fff200]Name:[/color] Cordeliamycinth “Corrie” Strickman [color=fff200]Gender:[/color] Female [color=fff200]Sexuality:[/color] Oh n-no, I have scant time for such activities! Well… I suppose it requires a mere few seconds to glimpse a lady’s tail feathers… [color=fff200]Age:[/color] 18 [color=fff200]Species:[/color] Short-Eared Owl [color=fff200]Diet:[/color] Insects (carnivore). Worm noodles are her favorite. [color=fff200]Height:[/color] 3’8” [color=fff200]Weight:[/color] 35 lb [color=fff200]Physique:[/color] A bit overweight [color=fff200]Appearance:[/color] Corrie’s plumage is speckled with white and grayish-brown feathers. She has large, round, yellow eyes, accentuated by a pair of horn-rimmed glasses. These focused yellow eyes sometimes intimidate people, though she doesn’t do it on purpose. Corrie tends to dress sharply, frequently seen in business casual trousers, button-up blouses, and blazers. She feels uneasy if she is dressed down compared to other people in the room. She typically wears neutral colors. Corrie has sharp talons for feet, though she is rarely seen barefoot. Her short tufts ("ears") only stick up when she's startled or scared. [color=fff200]Personality:[/color] Those who know Corrie (a little) see her as intelligent, aloof, and sometimes anxious. She spends a lot of time studying alone in the library or her room. Living up to the expectations of her species, she often uses advanced vocabulary and pauses to choose her words carefully before speaking. She sometimes acts superior and haughty around less intelligent people. Corrie is, of course, a straight-A student with an academic scholarship. Beneath the cool and intelligent veneer, Corrie is one stressed-out little panicky perfectionist trying to live up to high standards. She wishes to have more friends and social interactions, but the combination between fear of failure and a childhood full of studying has made casual social situations nerve-wracking and awkward for her. Corrie also has a big, crazy dream of playing sports – whatever sports would take her! She always admired the power and elegance of athletes. But she never had time for sports between her studies and other extracurriculars in high school, and besides, sports represented a more primitive time when carnivores such as her hunted animals for food. Corrie’s dreams are on the back burner, though, as she must work very hard to assure nobody learns her deepest secret… that she’s truly of [b]average intelligence[/b] (gasp)! [color=fff200]History:[/color] Corrie’s parents have high-profile careers and always expected the same from their children. Some rebelled against the strict parentage and did their own thing, while some worked hard to live up to their standards. Corrie fell into the latter category, spending all her time on studying and high-profile extracurriculars like student council through high school. It was around high school that she grew a little tired of this life and wished to branch out, but she was too afraid of disapproval to actually do anything about it. The relative independence of college was going to make things different, though! Of course, she would still get good grades, but she would find a way to be somebody other than a straight-A Golden Child in her free time! Except… well, her father was a professor at Eukary University, so she couldn’t be [i]completely[/i] free. She would still find a way to be more social, though… but after this Wednesday’s test, of course.
