Chumhandle: sillyHead - this actually has a reason behind it. "Silly head" is a common, uncreative, innocent kind of insult that... really isn't usually even meant as an insult. It's playful, and very, very kiddish. But it has a deeper level, too: "Silly" can easily mean "superficial", existing only on the surface, with not much thought, meaning, or consequence. And "head" can mean director, or charioteer; and charioteer was tied directly to the idea of the "ego" but Sigmund Frued himself. Her ego, the thing controlling her outward expression of things, makes her seem superficial.
"SH" is also similar to "shhhh", and shushing. Which can be tied to her "shushing" herself as she truly is.

God Tier: Maid of Blood
Explanation of Chosen God Tier: It is speculated that a Maid is basically made of their aspect, and Blood represents the bonds/relationships between people, or unity. Cori has molded her entire personality to gain bonds between herself and others, making her... basically made of bonds between herself and other people.
A Maid is also speculated to "provide themselves with [aspect]", which Cori does through manipulating her own personality, and, to some extent, others, to provide herself with bonds between herself and others.
Maids may also "protect [aspect]", which Cori does by backing off in her friendship with others to allow their friendship with other people to flourish, as well as in trying to preserve her relationships with people as they are by keeping everyone at arm's length.
Similar to this is the speculation that Maids "clean/tidy [aspect]", which is seen in how Cori tries to keep her relationships with people constant, and tries to avoid them getting too close and mucking up the relationship.

Guardian/Living situation: Cori lives with her older sister in a small, three-bedroom home on the outskirts of a big city. Her sister works at a videogame company doing design, and they are pretty well-off. Her sister holds some disdain for how Cori acts, especially since she knows she's smarter than she seems, and when she has to be around Cori a lot, she makes that very clear. She also spends a lot of that time trying to get Cori to have an intelligent conversation with her, and for the most part, Cori hides that side of herself away.
Appearance: Cori wears a knee-length sundress, flowy and white, with a thick pink ribbon around the waist (as in, her pink). Her hair goes down to the middle of her back and is black, and she wears a floppy hat on top of it, also white, with the same kind of pink ribbon. Her symbol is on a pocket on the left side of her chest. She also wears gladiator-style sandals.
Cori is average in height, but thin in a way that isn't entirely healthy. She is not exactly strong, either.
Her face is very round, with a button-shaped nose and rounded eyes. Her cupid's bow is deep, too, and her bottom lip very full. Her eyebrows are thick arches.
Personality: Cori is intelligent, and knows how to figure things out. She is a good problem-solver and she performs wonderfully under stress, too. When the stress turns emotional she has a lot of difficulty handling it, but in a time-crunch or under some kind of great, looming danger, Cori doesn't falter. She's strong, mentally, and very capable.
But she hides it.
Cori is incredibly sensitive to the wants and needs of others, which is what makes her such a great leader. But she is also highly sensitive to their opinions. She wants people to like her. She wants to be someone people enjoy being around. She wants to be everyone's friend. So she tucks her own personality away in favor of acting more cheery, less threatening in her intelligence, and incredibly superficial. She pretends to find joy in things like daffodils and bunny rabbits, because she's found it makes her more likable. She prunes herself enough to be physically pleasing, but not enough to threaten. She doesn't let herself become too close with anyone, because she doesn't want to steal them away from the friends they have already.
In short, Cori doesn't really see anything likable in herself as she really is, but rather in who she pretends to be. This is an insecurity of her's, but it doesn't really hurt her as would be expected. She finds confidence in the fact that she can make people like her, for the most part, though it does still hurt her.
Cori is good at knowing herself as she really is, despite the fact that she hides it. Usually, she can hide her emotions as well, but they do have the ability to overpower her and in these moments, she tries to hide away from those that know her. She doesn't want them to dislike her, so she tries to cover up everything she's noticed most people don't like.
She gets obsessive about hiding herself too, sometimes. If the situation absolutely demands it, she'll butt in to lead or offer some advice, but otherwise she gets incredibly defensive. She starts freaking out when she notices someone is getting too close, and tries to drive them away again, all while plastering a happy smile across her face and telling them how much she loves kittes.
She tends to steer clear of romantic relationships, because she doesn't want to be in one where they only like her for her outward portrayal of herself. She values love higher than that. And she is hesitant to let anyone in enough to love who she really is, even see it, so romantic relationships are very, very difficult for her to get involved in. Not that she doesn't long for one, though... she definitely does.
Likes: Cori pretends to like romantic movies, sitcoms, astrology, rabbits, and kittens... also pretty much anything else 'cute' and frilly. Also people in general.
Cori actually likes logic puzzles, philosophy, psychology, sociology, astronomy, and people in general.
Dislikes: Pretends to dislike: traditionally 'gross' things, lots of information/facts (math, science, etc.) and pretty much anything school-related. Also reading.
Actually dislikes: not knowing how a person/people work, not being able to solve a puzzle, not being capable or in control. Also, milk.
Interests: Pretends to be interested in: romantic movies, sitcoms, mostly just her likes.
Actually interested in: Documentaries in general, factual books, the news, studying psychology, sociology, etc.... and, guiltily, a couple of romantic books and movies.
Strengths (Pros): Intelligent, good with people, good at reading people, good with emotions, generally "likable", in control of herself mostly, operates well under stress, good leader.
Weaknesses (Cons): Feels inadequate, hides self, pushes others away when they get too close, pretends vigorously to be something she is not.
Insecurities: Generally feels like she, as she really is, is not likable. Capable, maybe, and not necessarily bad, but also not something other people can like.
Decision-Making/Leading/Operating Under Stress Abilities: Cori operates well under stress, can make sound decisions when they are needed, and is good at leading. When things get emotional to an extreme degree, though, she isn't able to handle it anymore. Emotion overcomes her, and she breaks down.
