Biography
● Cordelia Adelaide Harlow is the youngest daughter of Edwin Harlow and his wife Elena. Her older brothers are Alon and Havelock, both serving as Guards for the Esthereal navy. Edwin started in at the lowest rank of the navy and became a well decorated and known general. Alon and Havelock were expected to follow in his footsteps when born and were trained in weaponry, combat and strategists. Cordelia was taught about sewing, embroider, lace making, dance and what normally young girls were taught. She even took up languages, botany and jewelry making. Regardless of her almost timid nature, she took up throwing daggers. Here she could use the ploy of her nature, but still be on her defense when necessary.
Cordelia then took up the lute, since her singing voice was like having a bull run through a china shop. She learned how to horse back ride and calligraphy. Though the horse back riding took her longer because she was thrown off and it terrified her. Edwin out in a good word with the royals of Esthereal, bragging on his daughter and her accomplishments and of course didn't skip on his sons. Within two weeks, Cordelia was suggested to be Princess Autumn's lady in waiting and Cordelia accepted. Edwin thought the sweet princess could use a friend and thought his own daughter would be perfect. At fifteen, she became Princess Autumn's lady in waiting.
After a year of being her lady in waiting, Edwin passed of an illness. Cordelia went home for a couple months along with her brothers to comfort their mother and to grieve. Cordelia was determined when she got back that she would work to make her father proud. He persuaded her way through that and she was wanting to keep the life he gave her.
