TEASER
The streets of the cities echoed with the sound of cars driving by and the chatter of passerbys, hiding in the shadows of an alleyway was a young girl her hood up casting a shadow over her face, her eyes the only feature standing out; looking at them you can see the time she has spent out on the streets, the pain she has been through. She exited out from the alleyway and onto the sidewalk leaning herself against the exterior wall of a nearby building she had her backpack dropped near her feet. She was about to start a deal with a buyer, as of now it was a waiting game; as the buyer came into view she made sure to check the pocket on her jeans to insure that her knife was still there. Like she thought it was, the man approached her looking from the bag to her face "You got my snow?" His voice was gravely and his head darted around as he spoke as if he was looking for the cops.
She bent down unzipping the bag, exposing the contents; she picked up two small baggies with white powder settled at the bottom. "150." She stated blankly "150?! I- Yeah.." His tone started out furious and dropped to distant. He reached into the front pocket of his pants, but he didn't pull out cash; He pulled out a blade, before she could reach for her own he had plunged it into her shoulder; She dropped to her knees and could only watch as he stole the illegals inside her bag. She stayed on the ground filled with anger, the shock from the recent event keeping the pain from settling in just yet.



"Maybe I wasn't dealt the best card in life, but at least I kept fighting."

Witty - Bold - Mischievous
She behaves however she pleases, she is an extrovert in all the ways you could describe, she is an adrenaline junkie, always looking for a rush wherever she can; speed racing, cliff jumping, anything she can do to get that high. She is bold, never afraid to say what she wants to say, regardless if someone wants to hear it or not; she doesn't care. She is very cocky, if you asked she'd tell you that she is 'Hot sh*t' without a doubt, she will always flirt with someone given the chance. She tends to be Selfish and Callous but when you live on the streets you have to think about yourself and yourself only, its your survival and you gotta be selfish to thrive. Trying to argue with her is like arguing with a brick wall, she is stubborn and will never admit defeat not until she runs out of words, she is competitive, always ready for a challenge and always sets out to win. She has a temper, it can be set off pretty easily, and sometimes its very hard to control. She can be very optimistic, always hoping that better days will come, she doesn't like to think in a pessimistic way. She is hopeful and full of ambition. She knows she has a lot to offer to the world, but without the proper upbringing she never had a chance to prove it. Her favorite music is rock, screamo, metal, and old 90s and early 2000s raps.




RELATIONSHIPS

Parents
She was given up at birth, from what she knows her parents didn't want a kid; nor where they anywhere near ready for one. They were too young being only 17 years old, they had no sense of responsibility at the time and they did what they thought was best. She doesn't know her parents and doesn't want to seek them out; she doesn't feel the need to rekindle a flame that burnt out the day they gave her up.
Her life after being given up was full of being passed through foster home, to foster home. Sometimes it was due to her being too much trouble and other times it was due to things happening to her under to roofs of their homes; so at 12 she ran away, and begun living her life on the streets learning to survive.

Siblings
She doesn't know if she has any siblings, but then again it has been 21 years so she could but she doesn't care to find out.

Friends
She has one close friend, they met when Cori turned 14 and ever since then they became inseparable; they do crime together and call each other family. Other then that she doesn't really care to make any more friends.


BACKSTORY

"Family isn't sh*t, but this one right here; they're the sh*t."


Cori was given up at birth by her 17 year old parents, she was bounced around from foster home, to foster home, making her course around the system until was 12; she endured multiple forms of trauma under the roofs of different foster families. She fled to the streets on the night of November 12th, dashing through the darkness to her new life, she learned to fight, learned to survive, she learned how to thrive all at 12 years old. Everyday was a new challenge, a new risk, a new day; she made her own rules to live by. Trust no one but Tris, the cover of darkness is your friend, you see cops you run, don't take sh*t from nobody, protect yourself, what you have to do to survive is what you have to do. She met Tris her one and only friend at 14, they became family sticking together; finding new ways to make money to get by, they set up their camp under a bridge in the outskirts of the city and will always remain there. At 14 they began conning people for money, playing the chronically ill and homeless card, at 16 they begun selling drugs, and began robbing people, at 17 Cori picked up illegal fighting, and street racing for money, at 18 she killed her first person, it was self defense after a deal gone bad; that was the day she learned sometimes to stay alive you gotta take a life. As of now she still cons people, robs, burgles homes, fights, street races, sells drugs, and steal cars; she is no longer above killing someone if it keeps her alive and safe. From her life on the streets she is covered in scars, ranging from bad falls, to stab wounds, cuts from other people, she is not ashamed of her life it's what she has to do.


AUTHOR NOTES
"F*** off, yeah?"

I definitely would not pair Cori with a sweet sensitive kind of person
she'd crush them figurative and literally. She needs someone who will return the energy, someone to match her bark and bite. If you're looking for an 'Opposites attract' kind of scenario, she is not your girl, she takes sweetness as weakness and sensitivity is pointless to her. She'd pair well with another criminal or even a cop.
