[edit]
Cora was born on the Steppe to the Qestir tribe. During an unusually violent attack she was rescued by a traveler, and for one unspoken reason or another he decided not to return the scared little ten-year-old to her people. He took her to his home in Gridania, called her Cora, and cared for her and educated her on his own, keeping her hidden away from the world for most of her teenage years. During this time she grew away from the Qestiri traditions and developed a familiarity with and attachment to all things Eorzean.
When one day her father failed to return home after a long absence, she was eventually forced to sell their house and venture out into the world. She quickly discovered the difficulties of finding a place for herself alone and without resorting to speech. Some would be sympathetic, thinking her a mute and offering her help or even temporary work in kitchens or on farms. Others tried to take advantage of her silence, and she rarely had anyone to turn to for help. Over time she found she had a talent for healing, and though hasn’t received any formal training, she practiced in private and developed her skills. Now she wanders, living off her dwindling saving, some discrete prostitution, and the payment she receives from healing.
Slight, short, and with eyes that shift seamlessly from uncertainty to perfect focus to an almost dazed dreaminess. Cora is ‘pretty’ rather than beautiful or cute – she’s the kind of attractive where you might pass over her at first glance, but on the second find something worth noticing. She dresses in mostly greens and dark colors, prefering loose yet slimming outfits – shirts and skirts that aren't too revealing and are suited for continuous travel in cooler climates, usually having pockets and satchels for storage. She wears very little makeup, and doesn’t seem to need it. In fact, she has always effortlessly appeared somewhat younger than her true age.Aspects That Stand Out:
Reserved is one way to describe her, shy is another, though many think she’s rude. She’ll smile and nod and play along, take care of you if you need it, but she simply won’t speak to you, and she won’t even trust half of what you tell her, believing like any Qestir that something only spoken could easily be a lie. Unlike the typical Qestir however, once you get to know her, if she trusts you, and if you’re alone with her, she might talk to you – but never in a public setting.
Beneath her guarded exterior however, she’s both libidinous and romantic, with a sometimes self-destructive desire to please others at her own expense. And in contrast to her calm demeanor, she has a habit of following her emotions before anything, though she desperately tries to think things through first. And while she might seem comfortable with being alone, she’s always searching for those few friends and lovers she needs no distance from. While she tends towards the Chaotic Good side of things, with an emphasis on doing good without respect for rules, she’ll help anyone if they’re in pain, and has a tendency to sympathize with those of a more evil disposition, choosing to believe them victims of circumstances even when this might not be the case.
