Personality:
[+]You can count on me! - No matter what she's given, even if it’s a job she hates. She doesn't say no, and will get it done. She's not a fool, and learned a long time ago that in order to get ahead, she would have to follow before becoming a leader herself. Once she becomes a leader that she wants to be, she does everything she can to keep that position. She'll make sure to include everyone in on things going on. Without a good group helping her, she can't be a good leader.
[+]Under the pressure - When the pressure is on, she faces it. She doesn't allow stress to get to her, and seems to work even better when she has a deadline. When things around her are bad, she the one who will be the one thinking thing through. While also trying to keep everyone calm. The only thing that could make her crack is if her home isn't stable. With it being unstable, this effects how she does things outside of home. It starts to show in just the way she acts. She doesn't greet people with a smile, nor will she look a person in the eyes.
[+]You're my best friend - She a very loving and caring person, so she counts everyone as a friend. She has nothing bad to say about anyone, so she hopes no one has anything bad to say about her. She comes off as a person you can trust, or the one who you can always see smiling. Those who she does count as true friends, she has their backs on everything. She doesn't judge them, she expects that they try their best and will be one of the first to push them if they do fail.
[+]I can keep a sekret - Even though she loves gossip, she's not one to spread it around or at least she attempts not to. But that’s not to say that she isn’t going to make a mistake. Normally if it’s something huge, she will take that to oblivion with her. It would seriously take her un-life being on the line, before she would be willing to give up a huge life changing secret.
[-]Curiosity Killed the Cat - She wants to know everything. The who, what, where, when, why and how. She the girl you'll find hiding around the corner when people are talking in a low voice. Or the one who will pretend to be doing something else, while actually listening to a conversation next to her or behind her on the street. She lives for gossip, and will do whatever just to find out what is going on. It might put strains on her friendships and other relationships, but she wants to try to make those closest to her understand her reasoning behind it. For her – it's about getting the story, even at a high cost to her own reputation.
[-]Talkative - She can go on and on for hours, talking about something that should only be a five minute subject. Whether she just loves the sound of her voice, or simply just has to talk, no one knows. Once you get Coraline started, it’s almost impossible to her to actually shut up and listen. This has the unintended side-effect of her coming off as somewhat annoying or perhaps even a bit preachy, depending on the subject.
[-]Her worst critic - No one has to tell her when something is bad, as she will often criticize herself. Even after she gives her clients their photos. She will still find flaws in it, and tear it apart. This doesn't apply to just pieces she does for others, but how she looks at things in life. If something goes wrong, even though she's not to blame. She will end up blaming herself, tearing herself apart. She doesn’t know why this is – but it’s a very strong compulsion for her.
[-]At the final hour - she works under pressure well, because she always holds things off to the last minute. Her writing, photo development, or just everyday life. She always waits until she has no time left to get things done. More often than not, she will put her friends and social life first, before placing her attention on work. However, she will pull all-nighters in order to get photos done.
Hobbies:
Photography: Once Cora picked up a camera and took her first photo it became an almost all consuming passion. She wanted to take pictures of everything and anything. It didn’t matter how grand or simple the subject, she just knew she wanted to get the perfect photo of it.
Cartography: She’s not sure why she finds maps and charts so interesting, but she’s consumed by a desire to make her own, as well as delve into the secrets of others. If she’s going someplace new, you can bet she’s taking paper and pen with her to map it out as she goes.
Job/Business:
Professional Photography – She doesn’t really know why, but for some reason, holding a camera just makes her feel complete – and she’s good at it too. She is working as a freelance photographer, so she takes jobs as they come in. She is working on setting up her own studio though, just to make ends meet.
Personal History:
Before Wonder Park, Cora life to her was perfect. She had her best friend, the job she wanted, and still going to school to improve on the skill she chosen in life. What could honestly be more perfect? Oh yea, she wanted nothing more then to have her best friend become something more, but this she always believe would be just a crush. So they remained close friends, but always teasing and picking on one another. Then she was invited by Antonio to visit this place called Wonder Park.
What should have been a vacation turned into a nightmare, but opened up a new door for them. Out of fear that she could lose her best friend, she admitted to loving him for sometime, only to find out he felt the same.
Sadly enough, this love was far to short. As she can Antonio didn't survive getting to the boat.
Then she woke up, surrounded by creeple in robes. Lost and confused, she didn’t know what was going on. They simply told her to go through the portal. She didn’t remember a single thing before she woke up. The only clue to her name was a small name tag she found around her neck when she woke up.
One thing was for sure, after her arrival in Halloweentown, she soon discovered that she had an uncanny talent with a camera – and burning passion for taking photos. Now she is trying to make ends meet, and piece together her unlife.
