Personality: A girl with a rarely shown sensitive side but brusque persona, she is typically passionate about work (i.e. seeking justice) and nature-related things. Corrie closes off whenever her background or childhood is brought up, since it was horrible and traumatic. Can be shy when it comes to relationships, but she's not a prude.
Sassy. Or is it snarky? A bit of both honestly. She was raised to be cautious and research first before involving herself, but she is also reckless and impulsive.
She hates the spotlight but is forced to manage it since she has a successful public career (in modern based worlds), and actually carries herself with grace, almost like she's royalty. Or a predator.
Suffers from insomnia and frequent nightmares. Not a morning person, preferring sunsets and the night sky over a sunrise. She has an aversion to the ocean despite loving it, because she is scared and wants to avoid her mother's bloodline.
Likes/dislikes: Corrie likes practical combat (though she loses her edge in the real world), the ocean, stargazing, and hunting. Dislikes petty squabbles, and fighting without a reason, animal abusers, law-breakers and backstabbers. Her strong hate for law breakers and backstabbers stems from a traumatic incident in her youth. You learn more about her background as you go.
Strengths/weaknesses: One of her strengths is hand-to-hand combat (she prefers fighting with a sword but usually fights with her hands or a knife. Uses a taser instead of a gun.) She was raised a fighter growing up, but she loves peace. Socializing is not her strong suit, she tends to be a loner, whether she means to work alone or not. This causes stress in her work life.
Fears/phobias: Gained a fear of guns when she was younger, and ironically developed thalassaphobia, a fear of drowning, when she was little. She can swim, but she can't go in deep water or she panics (waters over 6 feet unless she is in a pool, then 8 feet). This prevents her from contacting her mother's side of the family.
Other (trivial/important info): She only drinks socially (a lightweight, gets chatty and sappy when drunk) and absolutely refuses to smoke. Her job is either a bounty hunter or police officer depending on whether the world is fictional or reality-based.
Her lineage is complicated. Her father's side are Hunters (a race I made up), and mother's side are mermaids (related to the vicious Magindara, a Phillipian myth.) She isn't in touch with either side.
Considers herself an orphan since she grew up without her parents around, and she doesn't know if they are alive today. As a mixed blood, she despises the term half-breed or anything with a similar negative connotation.
Lastly, she was born with powers from both sides of her family. From her father's side, she gained natural speed, agility, and is sensitive to her environment, picking up on the tiniest of details. From her mother's side, she can breathe under water and control it, and her singing voice can hypnotize people if she wants to but she doesn't use this power often. (There is another power that she has, only unlocked under certain scenarios. Have fun trying to trick it out of her!)
Yes, she is overpowered, but she is royalty on her mother's side, and her father is very high in the ranks of Hunters as well. Being super powerful is to be expected, and there are drawbacks to her powers as well. I try to balance it out.
