"Sometimes desperate times call for desperate measures. We make decisions that we go on to regret, but equally wouldn't change knowing what we know now. I can never right the wrongs I have done, I can't undo the pain I've inflicted. I can't change the past, but I can influence the future."

Cordelia is a wandering performer, culinarian and mercenary. Running away from her shady past, she earns a living travelling the land, plying her trade to the masses or through contract to the elites, small businesses or private gatherings. Furthermore, she offers her services of blade and magic to any willing to pay for her services, her wide skillset ensuring there are always opportunities wherever she travels.As a fairly large personality, Cordelia tends to draw others into conversation, whether consciously or unconsciously. She is typically found at the centre of social gatherings, meeting and talking with as many people as she feasibly can; a true social butterfly. She also doesn't like seeing people left out, and will often attempt to draw outsiders into the conversation, though she will also not force those who do not wish to socialise to get involved.

Rumours

Common: Anyone can know these. They're fairly common knowledge! Use to your heart's content.
- "The wandering Viera? Tanned, caramel highlights? Yeah, I know her. Bumped into her on the road with my caravan and shared a meal. Never eaten so fresh in my life!" - Travelling merchant
- "Well, she likes to drink, I can tell you that much. Spent enough nights sleeping it off in our cells that I think we should start charging her rent!" - Yellowjacket private
- "Pretty sure that Miqo'te street urchin sees her as a mother. I doubt there's any official paperwork backing it, knowing both of them, but I've seen the two interact. If it's not the relationship between parent and child, it's a very close relationship between teacher and student." - Limsa Lominsan localUncommon: May require a bit of digging, but reasonable to know with a bit of effort.
- "She may be all smiles and youthful energy on the surface, but something's broken on the inside of that poor girl. You can see the emotion bleed into her performances." - Wandering bard
- "Yeah, I found her on the shores of La Noscea and dragged her to safety. Honestly, surprised she even survived with how much water she swallowed and how battered she was, but she pulled through somehow." - La Noscean citizenRare: Lesser-known or hard to confirm. Few people know these, but not impossible to uncover. Let's talk.
- "Don't let those doe eyes fool you, that one's a cold-blooded killer. I'm shocked she hasn't been locked up and the key hurled into the depths of the ocean for what she's allegedly been a part of. A real bloodthirsty pirate, she is." - Yellowjacket veteran
- "Heard she was havin' a fling with Captain Mervaux Estrelaint of the pirate vessel, The Siren's Call. They weren't married or nothin', but she took his name after he died out of respect or somethin'." - Random pirate

RP Hooks

Reasons you could strike up some RP with Cordelia
- Are you a bit of a foodie with eclectic tastes? You may have heard of the travelling Viera with a penchant for cooking and baking with freshly acquired ingredients, straight from the fields or the ocean.
- Cordelia is a fan of having a good time, and thus has spent many a night in various taverns and other watering holes during her travels through the world, though mostly in La Noscea. Perhaps you've spoken before, though whether she remembers who you were while a number of drinks down is another matter.
- A fan of the performing arts? You might've seen Cordelia performing before, whether for coin in a tavern, on the streets of Limsa Lominsa or simply stumbled upon her practising by her campfire on the road.
- Piracy. Cordelia did used to be a pirate and thus has spent time in those social circles. It's entirely possible you spoke with her before were you to frequent similar social circles. This is less common, since Cordelia is actively trying to cover up her piratical past to avoid potential consequences of her actions.
