THE NORTHERN DOVE

[attr="class","csd"]

this is cordelia snow, a bastard child and ice angel from the north who'd happily mess you and your life up a million times over if given a chance. basic background is that she was born in the north and raised around westeros as the daughter of a travelling merchant — a woman who was manipulative, selfish and sharp-tongued and who raised her to be the same. one day she just disappeared, though, and cora was left on her own ever since.

cora may be a malicious little sprite, but she knows to play the part of someone likeable. aside, you can find her around busy marketplaces trying to peddle all sorts of odds and ends, napping in the thick branches of tall trees, or in taverns splurging her day’s earnings on a good meal. she travels all around westeros, and can handle knives and daggers pretty well. she’s scared of open water and dislikes hot weather. also, she can’t really read, though she’s trying hard to learn.


she isn’t bound to have many who are actually close to her. she can be charismatic and charming to be around, and does like to have a laugh (though most of the time at other people’s expense), so friendly acquaintances are likely — but in terms of genuine friends, she will have about as few as you’d expect for someone like her. most people she has good connections with tend to be for business purposes, or for other personal gain.


her mother taught her the ropes of survival, but cora put her own spin on things; she’s a bit more cunning, a bit more dry-humoured and sinister, to the point where she’s almost more of a con artist than a tradeswoman. she’s clearly not the nicest person and she’s bound to have lots of hostile relations, for a large variety of reasons. she could be on anyone’s blacklist and anyone could be on hers. as the saying goes: she’s not biased — she hates everyone equally.


cora isn’t much of the romantic type. the only romantic relationship she’d heard of growing up was that of her mother’s to the man who was supposed to be her father, and that was never exactly a stellar example. the love she does know is kind of possessive and fierce, without much in terms of open affection. i’m down for anything though, so just hit me up!
