Character Name: Cordelia "Lia" Brooks
Canon: Original
Canon History: It says so in the comment itself, but still be aware: CW for mentions of gun violence and attempted murder. History can be found here.

Canon Abilities: Detailed here!

Canon Personality:
- The first impression one will get of Lia is that she's a cheery and open individual. She's friendly and often forthcoming, even with strangers.
- She tends to be generally helpful by nature, she's always ready and willing to help people--friends, family, she'll even go out of her way to help strangers if they need it.
- She generally tries to be kind to everyone she meets. If you can brighten someone's day just a little, it's worth it, and life's too short to be dicks to each other anyway.
- Lia is willing to give most people a chance, even if it's... ill-advised. Prickly, overly rowdy, horrible chaos gremlin, even bloodthirsty-- none of these are particular problems, so long as you haven't committed atrocities or personally harmed Lia or someone she cares about. (Even the "harming Lia" part can be set aside, so long as it wasn't particularly personal in nature--one of her associates is in fact a killer for hire who's clashed with Lia a few times on the job. They both handle it very professionally at this point.)
- She tends to be firmly of the belief that more often than not, a stranger is just a friend you haven't met yet.
- For the most part, she's not too into holding grudges--as long as you haven't harmed one of her loved ones or you're not looking to cause harm again, at least. Life's too short for that!
- She is stubborn as all hell. I wouldn't necessarily say it's her way or the highway, but if you're looking to change her mind on something, you'd better have a damn good argument before you're dragged along for the ride.
- She's not big on restraining herself from things she enjoys--life's too short to deny yourself the things you like!
- Despite appearances and general attitude, Lia's particularly concerned with practicality. Why go chasing the wild, complex solutions to problems when simpler, sensible ones are right there?
- On that note, only suckers fight fair, as far as Lia's concerned. Honor and rules are for organized events--in a fight where survival's the main priority, anything goes.
- (This does not stop her from being flashy as hell when she does fight, she just tries to temper that with practicality.)
- Just because she isn't typically outwardly mean or cruel doesn't mean she's incapable. When she is pushed to that point, you'd better believe she's a big believer in the idea of cruel mercy. It can be harder to live with the things you've done, after all.
- For all that she tries to handle things sensibly and practically, this does not stop her from following her impulses... a lot. She doesn't always think things through and this has gotten her in trouble.

AU Name: N/A
AU Age: 24
AU Birthday: May 29
Faction: The Black Order

AU History: - Lia was born to a paranormal aware family in New York. Her parents were kind and attentive, and Lia was very close with her older sister in particular growing up.
- While having been aware of magic since she could comprehend the idea of it existing, it started becoming a major part of her life when she was around the age of 7, when her older sister's magical abilities started becoming apparent... on the heels of a particular change in her appearance.
- (While their parents were a bit freaked out at the change, they definitely agreed that this was preferable to, say, uncontrollable fireballs or something.)
- Lia thought the change was cool, and paid close attention to the sorts of abilities her sister had awakened to.
- Lia's direct experiences with magic of her own started five years later at age 12-- she unwittingly uses teleportation to save herself when she falls out of a tree. That night isn't the first time she dreams of being a magical girl, but it is the first time she dreams of monsters invading a world two steps from being in shambles, and of a boy she can't put a name to.
- At first, Lia doesn't think much about telling her sister or her parents about the dreams she's started having, but she quiets down after a warning from her mother: "Keep such things to yourself, or the Black Order might find you and take you away." An explanation of the group later, and Lia does, in fact, remain silent about her dreams... for a few years, at the very least.
- To Lia's credit, she did pretty well at keeping things under wraps. It was only once she turned 18 and she'd transformed in public to keep someone safe that she got concerned about ending up on the Black Order's radar--and for good reason. She caught wind of Guardians in the area, asking around about her soon after.
- Unwilling to get involved with the Black Order and equally unwilling to potentially put her family in danger, she gathered up her belongings and fled under the cover of night.
- Lia spends a few years traveling around the country after that, never settling in one place for too long. She does what she does best while she does, tackling odd jobs for money to get by and generally trying to help the people she meets.
- During these few years, she stops in Kaisou for a while a few times, but after she starts hearing about increased Order presence in the city, she starts avoiding it.
- Not that it lasts, really. Eventually, Lia hears through the grapevine that there's been something of a revolution at the Order, and she starts doing some investigating on her own once she hears it's under new management.
- Once she confirms the news for herself, Lia... takes a bit to think, now that she's not being chased around the country. Given everything that has happened, everything that Lia herself has witnessed the past few years, she comes to the realization that the world does need people like The Black Order, and--perhaps most importantly--people who truly believe in its cause and will join willingly.
- After considerable thought and a long conversation with her still skeptical older sister, Lia decided to finally join up with The Black Order--if it means helping and protecting others, Lia wants to do what she can.
- It's almost a relief to be assigned to Kaisou, given how much she enjoyed being here before and missed it afterwards. She'll do her best! ... Even if she's still got three or so months of training left.

AU Personality Differences: - Overall, Lia is a generally less intense person than canon due to having a considerably more normal life in comparison. She also doesn't have the violent near-death experience under her belt that made her double down on all the things she says "life's too short" about in canon--that isn't to say she doesn't believe in them here, though! She does believe it and try to act on such things, but it sure is a lot less of a big deal for her.
- Knows what a hinge looks like enough to fake having one
- While she's still impulsive, she's less so given her circumstances in the AU. Too much impulse-following could've gotten her in trouble with the Black Order! Similarly, she's spent a while not operating under the idea that a stranger is just a friend you haven't met yet.
- A bit less inclined to solve her problems with violence, given the fewer scenarios that require it.

(It's basically an element-neutral version of the elemental weapon creation.) (3 points, as discussed on Discord)
