 POWER Electricity Manipulation. Cora is capable of creating, shaping and manipulating electricity. This can be applied in a variety of ways, such as charging electrical items, creating electricity all around her and sending out various electrical currents. Cora discovered this power when she was fifteen and therefore has a very limited knowledge on how to use it. As of right now what the teenager lacks in skill and knowledge though she makes up for in raw power. She is capable of shooting electricity out from her, but there is about a 10% chance that it would hit anywhere she was aiming. In reality, until she gets older if she wants to use her power on anything it is more than likely she will have to touch it. If she were able to hit anyone or anything from a distance it would have to be a fluke at best.

 APPEARANCE Everything about Cora screams electric, standing right at 6"00 the young girl is easy to spot in a crowd. Cora typically dons casual clothes, jeans that fit to her frame and loose fitting t-shirts that seem more tomboyish than anything else. Her hair fits in that orange blonde category, most naturally tawny depending on the lighting. Cora's eyes are a bright green and always seem wide and interested in everything that she's doing.

While Cora could be considered attractive, on the left side of her face starting at above her eyebrow (in the middle) and stopping right at her jawline there is a large jagged burn scar. While this has not affected her vision, Cora is only capable of lifting her left eyelid halfway and usually depends on her right eye to really see anything. If she needs to really see something though the young girl will usually have to manually pull up her left eyelid to focus.

Lastly, Cora leans toward more of having a muscular frame. She is fit and able to put force behind anything that could be considered hard labor.

 PERSONALITY Cora has barely any actual knowledge of the gifted world and all it contains, so with that being said Cora leans toward being somewhat antagonistic toward anyone with powers. New things are met with skepticism, wonder and every now and then delight. She is curious, yet afraid of the new world she has been opened up too - but typically hides that fear with sarcasm and general disbelief.

Cora also has a tendency to mix up a lot of sayings, general literary terms that most people would normally grasp very quickly. Despite this constant mixing though, it is easy to tell that Cora has a decently wide vocabulary.

Used to being the realist when it comes to her family, when it comes to friends and relationships Cora is typically down to earth. She could almost be considered a pessimist if it wasn’t for the fact that she can sometimes be known to enjoy the simpler things in life. It doesn’t actually take too long for Cora to become friends with someone, flaky people tend to annoy her and the teenager usually connects better with people who have tempers that can match hers.

Cora has a huge interest in dance, but is very reserved about it and has hidden this interest from her family for a very long time. She has spent a long time practicing different moves and enjoys hip hop and r&b styled choreography the most.

 WEAKNESSES As mentioned before in the power section, while Cora does have raw power when it comes to her ability to manipulate electricity - she has no skill or precision with it. It will take time and practice for her to be able to aim and really hit anything at a distance with her power.

Cora is quick to jealousy when it comes to the people around her (for anything that they have and that she does not have). If she were one of the seven deadly sins she would be envy. When she makes friends with someone, Cora has learned how to bury this emotion - but still every now and then it can rear its head. Cora also hides fear with what could be considered tougher more fake emotions, she has learned how to put up a tough facade and on the outside when it comes to something scary typically appears to be taking it head on.

 STRENGTHS Once having navigated through Cora's tough outer shell, underneath lies a protective and caring girl. Cora does have a talent for dance that will most likely be refined through practice along with her power. Cora is a natural hard worker and what she lacks in common sense and intelligence she makes up for through sheer determination.

 HISTORY Coralee was born in Kentucky, USA to a father that soon left after her birth and a hillbilly hippie mother. Her mother traveled a lot around the U.S and did a lot of odd jobs (mostly manual labor on farms) to pay to support them. When Coralee was older they came back to Kentucky and stayed with her grandparents and when she wasn’t in public school a majority of Cora’s day was spent working on her grandparents farm way out in the hills.

Cora discovered her power when she was fifteen, it was late night during a storm when the teenager was asked to make sure the horses were okay. When the young woman walked outside she was struck by lightning. It wasn’t the act of being struck by lightning that gave her powers, it was being struck that activated her powers in the first place.

After the incident her mother ran outside to find that her daughter was emitting all kinds of sparks and was passed out. Within a day Cora made a surprising recovery and while at first very frightening for Cora her grandparents and her mother soon become accepting and excited for all the potential behind Cora’s power. Cora soon felt the tug of Foresta Academy while she and her mother were traveling again and on her seventeenth birthday the electrical teen soon found herself at the school.
