───────────────────────────────────────────────────
⌠"The best thing one can learn is how to lose."⌡
───────────────────────────────────────────────────
⌊Having grown up the child of a family very low on the social totem pole, Corin was taught from a very young age how to hold her tongue and behave properly. Not behave properly in the sense of acting with dignity and pose, but rather to obey immediately her superiors. She came from a village in which saying the wrong thing to a socially superior person could have rather grievous consequences. While she was adopted by the king when still a child, and thus has come to fill one of the highest positions in the kingdom as the daughter of the absolute monarch, she never lost this reservation. Servants may constantly have reminded her that she was now a woman of rank, and the king never mistreated her, but the lessons ingrained while she was still very young remain. Many believe that personalities are just as much a result of genetics as they are environment --perhaps she is a prime example of this theory. Regardless of her situation, Corin is one of those people who are slow to speak their minds. This is especially true, until recent events, regarding the desires of her father: if he asked anything of her, the girl would say yes, for the still present whispering of servants reminds her that it is due to his kindness and pity that she is even still alive. Her debt to him has her striving to be as acceptable as possible in terms of avoiding argument of any sort. While she hardly lacks her own opinion, she is not one to express it if not asked for it, and even then will avoid conflict if at all possible. When people greet her she will smile and go along with what they say, trying to be as agreeable and as small a burden as possible. Where she comes from, making one's self small is the cleverest thing for those without rank to do, and in the end she is still a peasant girl, regardless of having spent now most of her life in the castle.
And yet, despite this desire to fulfill her debt, the girl has fled the castle. This is because the desire to continue living is very strong in Corin, who watched her own parents die. They died in such a way so that she may live, and while the memories she has of them are few and fading still, she remembers their plea that she run, and live. Thus, if it comes to a case of life or death the princess does not mind getting her hands dirty or stooping to low tactics. As far as she is concerned, the lowest thing a person can do is allow themselves a useless death, and she will avoid such a fate if at all possible. Unfortunately, this may run the risk of her looking out for herself when a situation becomes truly dire, and allowing her loyalties to take a backseat. If she has the opportunity to escape, or win a fight, she will take it without hesitation. In this since, the young woman is merciless. She may not be as well trained as other people, but she has the advantage of a keen sense of survival standing above nearly all else.
Luckily, the girl has a certain level of cunning to contribute to keeping herself alive. When one is as reserved as she is, and so intent on doing well the part she is assigned, they become rather good at reading atmospheres and situations. In a place like a royal court, once must have a certain level of situational awareness to get by, after all. Corin is an intelligent young woman, offered high quality tutors by her position in the castle, and environments in which to develop her intuition through the various social functions and exposure to court intrigue. Growing up in the palace she preferred the library to the salon, but is perfectly able to feign interest in such things in order to make others feel more comfortable. She aspires to become the perfect lady, after all, as though doing so can prove her worth. This is likely where the lack of sincerity in her eyes comes in: she has become accustomed to adopting airs to fit best whoever is speaking with her. It takes a measure of cunning to do such a thing, keeping everyone convinced of her being a cheerful, poised young lady, rather than the resigned, selfish, and somewhat cynical girl she truly is.
One thing that Corin seems unable to really help is her response to jokes. It is a large one, and unexpected from someone who usually seems so reserved and, frankly, solemn. When something funny happens, the girl will burst into laughter and be unable to stop it from spilling forth. It is the truth behind her act of cheerfulness, the reason people can believe her false smiles: because of course she has some source of joy, this is how she makes it through life. The girl has a secret obsession with silly jokes and other forms of comedy, seeking it as someone lost in a cave seeks threads of light. She frequently mutters things under her breath, and while many believe she is saying something apologetic or rude, it is often something she finds funny, a reference or a joke. It is very odd, when one first sees the very poised princess collapse onto the ground, unable to read. In fact, some find it creepy.⌉

↪ＬＩＫＥＳ↩
◊ Independent People ◊ ↣ Many admire in others that which they themselves do not possess. Corin believes herself rather useless and dependent, and thus tends to idolize those who are entirely self sufficient.
◊ Lessons ◊ ↣ Corin enjoys lessons because they mean broadening her own knowledge --something that she at least can develop of her own strength. She is also fond of lessons such as horseback riding and archery, though they are less frequent.
◊ Cats ◊ ↣ Without a doubt, the young woman is a cat person. If she could, she would adopt all of the stray cats in the kingdom. She likes their attitude.
◊ Blunt Honesty ◊ ↣ Corin is not accustomed to people speaking what they think directly to her face. Thus, when it does happen she is often taken aback at first, but soon finds herself appreciating it. Much like independence, it is something she admires in others.
↪ＤＩＳＬＩＫＥＳ↩
◆ Confinement ◆ ↣ The strange thing is that much of Corin's confinement is self-inflicted. She is free to roam the castle, of course, and if she asked would likely be allowed beyond this, and yet refuses to ask. She loathes confinement, but has only herself to blame for it.
◆ Loud Talking ◆ ↣ People who are incapable of regulating their volume bother Corin to no limit. She realizes it might be trivial of her, but when a person is constantly projecting a conversation for the world to hear she tends to form very poor opinions of them.
◆ Shoes ◆ ↣ Now this is simply silly of her, but Corin dislikes having her feet confined. If it were acceptable, she would never wear shoes.

↪ＨＡＢＩＴＳ ❖ ＱＵＩＲＫＳ↩
◊ Counting Syllables ◊ ↣ When Corin was younger, she used to be bored easily and would count people's syllables as they spoke to her, often mouthing their words like a mirror image. She was told this was creepy and thus tries to suppress it, but when nervous tends to let it slip.
◊ Muttering ◊ ↣ Another thing Corin knows isn't particularly proper. She tends to mutter under her breath a lot, though she tries her best not to allow others to hear the little quips she makes, which range from bitingly sarcastic to those dumb jokes of hers.
◊ Shoes ◊ ↣ When in her own quarters, or alone at all really, Corin takes off her shoes almost immediately.
❖─────────────❖─────────────❖
↪ＳＴＲＥＮＧＴＨＳ↩
◆ Survivalist ◆ ↣ A strength and a weakness, Corin's drive to survive means that she might be more willing to fight dirty when the need arises, and less likely to hesitate in situations of life and death.
◆ Clever ◆ ↣ Having been raised in the castle for over half of her life, Corin's street smarts, once sharp, have fallen in favor of book knowledge. She is quite well read, thanks to many tutors and a love for the quiet of a library, and life in the court has made her observant.
◆ Rank ◆ ↣ Hardly a strength she can really claim her own, but rank does have obvious benefits. She need merely reveal her identity and the princess would be provided shelter or food. Perhaps less of a strength now that she has fled the castle.
↪ＷＥＡＫＮＥＳＳＥＳ↩
◊ Inferiority Complex ◊ ↣ Although she is one of the highest ranking individuals in the kingdom, the nature of Corin's origin, as a very poor girl, has always left her with the feeling of an imposter, someone who was let in by accident. Because of this, she tends to feel inferior to others.
◊ Cynical ◊ ↣ Corin tends to expect the worst of situations, and while this allows her to brace herself, it can bring down the mood of others when she doesn't reign herself in. Luckily, she typically remembers to hold her tongue-- leaving it to mostly affect herself, exclusively.
◊ Soft-Spoken ◊ ↣ Corin knows when to hold her tongue, but is less well versed in when to speak. Because of this, she is less likely to make her opinions known, even when they may benefit the group.
❖─────────────❖─────────────❖
↪ＦＥＡＲＳ↩
◆ Permanent Dependence ◆ ↣ Corin fears never truly standing on her own strength. She has been leaning against the king for support for so long, she worries that she will falter without this crutch.
◆ Death ◆ ↣ As might have been guessed by her survivalist nature, the young woman abhors the idea of dying. Although, whether this is truly a fear or an adherence to an old promise depends very much on what the means of death that faces her is.
❖─────────────❖─────────────❖
↪ＳＥＣＲＥＴＳ↩
◊ Various Habits ◊ ↣ Hardly a life threatening secret, but Corin tends to hide various little things, her loathing of shoes and counting syllables thing, for example, from those not very close to her. Mostly because she finds the habits silly and embarrassing.
◊ Knight Complex ◊ ↣ When she was growing up Corin would often see the king's knights training and going about their business. The equality granted by their armor, the strength which they possessed: she envied them for it. Even now, Corin would give anything to be a knight, serving the man who saved her as well as exploring and going about her own way.
◊ Childhood ◊ ↣ Everyone knows that Corin was adopted out of poverty, but they do not know why her parents died: they made what little money they had by begging and, when that didn't work, stealing. Imagine, the princess having once been a thieving beggar.

↪VOCAL INFLUENCE↩
───────────────────────────────────────────────────
⌠The ability to make your thoughts someone else's.⌡
───────────────────────────────────────────────────
⌊Corin's power is one which could be rather dangerous, if developed properly. For now she of course is only a threat to herself, for she does not know of her ability. With her voice, she is able to influence the thoughts of others. She does not force someone to do something, per se, she cannot make them complete puppets [Perhaps with time]. Rather, people feel compelled to obey her command. Call it the ultimate charisma.⌉
❖──────❖──────❖
↪ＰＯＷＥＲXＬＩＭＩＴＡＴＩＯＮＳ↩
───────────────────────────────────────────────────
⌠If you stop it at it's source, the power is ineffective⌡
─────────────────────────────────────────────
⌊The most obvious limitation is that Corin's power is very much tied in with her ability to speak. Simply bind her mouth, remove her tongue, or do away with your own hearing and her ability is rendered useless. Besides this, at its current level her power can be dulled down by those well practiced in the blocking of their mind. Then, the desire to obey is merely an itch, not a full blown compulsion. The fact that the ability's source causes such damage to her body is certainly an unfortunate complication as well.⌉
❖──────❖──────❖
↪BOW & ARROW↩
⌊Arguably, Corin's weapon might be the equipment of an archer. Like most young ladies of standing, she has taken archery courses with the intent of it as a leisure activity. That being said, she has never used the skill practically, and thus for now it is more likely that her seed and her survival instinct are her best weapons. With merely a bow and arrow against anything more threatening than a rabbit, she might be at a disadvantage.⌉

With merely a bow and arrow against anything more threatening than a rabbit, she might be at a disadvantage.⌉
What's in the past cannot be relived, but it can be learned from.

↪ＢＩＯＧＲＡＰＨＹ↩
⌊Corin did not always bear the most noble surname of Apollonius. In fact, she was born into a family that had a surname only because everyone is expected to have one. In fact she herself is the child of orphans, who assigned their own names and never had nearly as much luck as she would later in life. Instead, Quinn & Wesley Owen were raised in a kingdom institution for orphaned children until they were of age, at which point they were promptly booted out. Not having many skills of their own, the pair got by doing menial labor jobs. This supported them well enough until they began having children, and they had a decent amount. Yes, Corin is not an only child. She was in fact the youngest child of her family, and thus the one inducted into the trade the earliest.
Menial labor did not properly fulfill the family needs, and so Quinn and Wesley turned to other methods to support their family. At first just begging and jobs carrying out nasty business, but soon they themselves were stealing as well. Corin was still a baby when she was used in this, for people give more money to mothers with infant children. She grew up stealing apples, food, the occasional coinpurse. Do not be mistaken, her family was not necessarily cruel itself, that would be an error of fundamental attribution. At home they were warm and loving, doting on their children though they could not give them all they wanted. Corin knew who had more than her, who to be respectful to and such, but she never felt the need to compare her own happiness to others. Perhaps because she was still young.
Her youth saved her. Three years younger than the sibling closest to her in age, when the family was involved in a scheme far larger than they were she was left at home. As it turns out, the deeds that they were carrying out for a much wealthier, higher ranked person, were ones meant to be kept a secret. And just as emperors have killed those who built their tombs so that the secrets would never be spilled, the Owens' employer decided to tie up loose ends. No one would miss a poor, beggar family with a reputation for dirty jobs. He sent his men to tie up the loose ends, and only the Quinn managed to escape, fleeing to the house to warn Corin to hide. This act, running to try and save her children, is why she was found and killed as well. Luckily, the man did not know of the youngest Owen daughter, and Corin survived.
She would have been doomed to roam the streets, an urchin, if not for the generosity of one man. She had been living on her own for a year when she tried to steal from the wrong person-- a king's knight. She ought to have been punished severely, but instead the king took pity, or for whatever reason, and adopted the filthy street urchin. Thus, Corin was whisked away into a life that had previously seemed only to exist in fairy tales. Unfortunately, there would always be the knowledge of her roots, leading to a large inferiority complex.
