Appearance
Coriander's hair comes down to her waist and she wears her bangs long and side swept so that they cover most of the upper half of her face to hide a scar that crosses on a diagonal from her left cheekbone to her right temple. She is willowy, pale, and actually rather pretty despite the scar across her face. She usually just wears jeans, sneakers and hoodies, but anything she wears is usually to hide herself. She actually really likes gothic lolita, but even if she could afford to dress that way, she doesn't think she's pretty enough to pull it off.



Positives
-Cori is very kind to those she knows and likes. She enjoys making gifts for people she calls friends, but those are few and far between.
-She spends a lot of time reading and writing and her manner of speaking is fairly eloquent. She gets excellent grades when she tries.
- She speaks to everyone with respect regardless of social standing or how much she likes them.
- Cori is very understanding and easy to talk to.

Negatives
-Though Cori is very sweet, she is shy and has a hard time talking to people in the first place. She tends to just sit in a corner and avoid people, which, paired with her history of getting into fights, causes people to avoid her.
-Being an insomniac, she almost never gets a full night's sleep and often dozes off in class.
-Cori is really hard on herself, no matter how good of a job she does or how talented she is. Though praise makes her happy, she has a hard time accepting it.
-By the time she gets home from school or work, Cori wants nothing more to do with the real world. She often pushes off or forgets assignments and only does enough homework to pass.
-Most people don't know it, but Cori has many voices within her head that she struggles with on a daily basis. She talks to herself sometimes, but avoids doing it around other people. She knows she isn't "normal", but she doesn't think she's crazy either.

Biography
When Coriander was younger, her father would beat her and her mother when he would get drunk and angry. One day when she was thirteen, Cori stood up to him saying that there would come a time when she would get strong enough to protect her mother from him. The man just laughed and struck her across her face with his knife. Cori responded by throwing a knife of her own, which struck her father in the chest. Though the man didn't die, he was arrested and, eventually, sent to prison for severe domestic abuse and attempt at murder, along with several gang-related crimes.

Things got better at home for a while, but it didn't last very long. Cori's mother became very sickly and was unable to work anymore, and now she lives in a hospital bed. Cori was emancipated and lives alone in a one room apartment working multiple part-time jobs.

As if life at home wasn't bad enough, school wasn't much better. Coriander has always been a shy and quiet girl and was bullied because of it. Between the name-calling and physical abuse, she found it very difficult to trust or open up to anyone. Most people who were ever kind to her either betrayed and used her, or stopped talking to her because they were afraid of getting the same treatment she did. Things only got worse after the events that earned her the scar across her face. The beatings got worse and, though she had started martial arts at a young age, she began to get very serious in her training in order to protect herself.

When Cori was fifteen, one person got close enough for her to believe that she was finally in love. Yes, true, pure love and not just a silly infatuation. The boy's name was Sorrel, and he was everything she ever wanted. He was kind, affectionate, and he told Cori that she was beautiful while everyone else around her avoided her like a plague. Half a year later, she and Sorrel were lured behind the school and attacked by a group of school thugs. When the thugs lunged at Sorrel, Coriander snapped and took down each of them one by one, beating them within inches of their lives in her rage. Seeing the blood on her hands and face and the near-insanity in her eyes, Sorrel began to fear her. He left her soon after that and has avoided her ever since.

A year later, Cori was recruited to come to Eerie Sakura High, supposedly for her high test scores, but it was actually for her martial prowess. Little did she know, but her mother was part of a ninja clan allied with the Akabari, the ninja house based in Syringa. She was quickly inducted into the assault branch, proving herself on multiple occasions to be one of the student council's best ninja. Unfortunately, but unsurprisingly, Cori made very few friends at her new school. Achillea, however, was quick to take her in and they have become pretty close.

Special Talents
Singing- She has a beautiful soprano voice, though most people have never heard it. She usually only sings for her mother or when she is alone.
Writing- Perhaps partly due to her schizophrenia, Coriander is very creative. She creates rich and vibrant worlds through her writing and gets so involved that for a moment, those people and places are real to her. Writing is one of her escapes from reality and it calms her when she is sad or upset.
Art- Coriander is also very skilled at drawing and making things. She loves to make bouquets and draw the things in her stories. She often reserves her creations for her mother because she loves to give gifts she makes herself.
Martial Arts- Despite her shyness and seemingly fragile build, Cori is actually quite talented at martial arts. She mostly practices kendo, judo, karate, and muay thai, and has proved that she can be very dangerous when enraged.

Fighting Style
Coriander uses techniques from many different styles, including judo, karate, and muay thai. She is also quite proficient with a katana and uses the back of the blade to incapacitate delinquents. Though she is relatively new to the ninja world, she is a fast learner and can use multiple types of elemental ninjutsu, her favorites being water and wind.

Family Relationships
For obvious reasons, Cori hates her father and has never been to see him since he was imprisoned. She does, however, love her mother a great deal.
