Cori Woods
Scathing eyes ask that we be symmetrical, one sided and easily processed.
Yet every misshapen spark's unseen beauty is greater than its would-be judgment.
NameCorrine Elizabeth Woods
NicknamesCori, simply a shorter version of Corrine. It's how she'll introduce herself even though her parents and more traditional peers will still use Corrine.
Age17
GenderFemale
Sexual OrientationHeterosexual
Grade LevelSenior
Social ClassWealthy: her great grandfather on her father's side was just kinda lucky. He invested into stocks for a home and furniture company. When they won big, he won big--and then used his money to start his own home and furniture company. Wood® Furniture and Interior Design grew so large and so fast, in fact, that it was able to buy out the company Great Grandpa Woods had initially invested stocks in by the time Grandpa Woods was born. Now, Wood® products--not always made of wood anymore--are the go to brand of anybody who's anybody.
AppearanceSlightly above average height for a woman and thin and boy-ish in body shape, Cori could be mistaken for a model if her pigmentation wasn't so atypical. If she's outside during the day, she's wearing sunglasses--not only do they protect her sensitive eyes, they hide the strange violet from public. Though the albino's pale skin and white hair isn't very subtle either. She wears said hair down, typically at her shoulders with bangs over her eyebrows. She stands at 5'7", but appears taller since she wears heals and weighs in at about 120 lbs. She carries her height and weight with a proud gait--head up, shoulders back, and a serious scowl on her lips. She tends to wear square necklines that pull attention to her shoulders and beautiful jewelry around her neck and wrists, emphasizing her status and sense of fashion.
"Do you think I care?"
PersonalityCori makes a point to put appearance above almost all else. So long as it seems like she knows what she's doing, she pretty much knows what she's doing. Needless to say, when she's unsure about something, she'll take a chance and give her thoughts in an attempt have some control over what's going on. She doesn't like looking weak or unintelligent in front of other people and enjoys considering herself independent. She comes off as very serious to most people and generally humorless; she tends to carry herself as if she's better than most people. This gives her an air of arrogance and intimidation that is backed by a sharp tongue at people who irritate her.
Despite her bad attitude, she's very caring and generous to the people around her. If you need help, she won't hesitate to offer a hand even if she comes off as reluctant to do so. She at the very least knows right from wrong, but tends to give into class and society viewpoints, preferring to stick to the status quo than vouch for underdogs. All this creates a queen bee, very uninterested in screwing up her social life in her senior year.
Likes- Coffee, one sugar (but not real sugar)
- Interior design and the application of mathematics to improve it
- Books, particularly the romance genre
- Lowkey loves cars and car stuff
- Parties, dances, and similar events, for the fashion and effort that goes into them
Dislikes- Selfie culture: empowering for some, but a constant reminder of her albinism for her. She engages in it anyway, as it's what she's supposed to do.
- People: she can sometimes deal with them, but her patience runs thin quicker the less impressive you are in terms of status
- The way she looks: she's fine with her body, but the way she stands out next to others makes her self conscious. She would prefer not to stand out.
- The middle class normies who decided to attend the school. Scholarships are cute, but she and he family were under the impression that the school were elites--not commoners.
FearsCori has a phobia of heights, but closer to her heart is the fear of failure. The pressure of being an only child is great enough, but peers and teachers alike are also sources of stress. She struggles to meet expectations set by others and will set higher goals if she deems the given task too "easy."

Strengths- Budding leadership skills
- Social skills and the connections to get what she wants
- Organization: with just a thread, she always finds a way to balance anything life throws at her
- Academically, she excels in mathematics.
Weaknesses- Low self esteem despite outwards confidence, leading to hesitation and a thin shell as far as her feelings go
- Defensive: her fight or flight response tends to be "fight" so she can easily make a bad situation worse
- Hopeless romantic: easily charmed by a handsome pair of eyes, and the badder the boy, the more tempted she is
HistoryCorrine Elizabeth was born the first and only daughter to the Woods family, known for the dominance in the interior design and products industry. Her parents--the renowned Quincy Woods and former model Jennifer LeDuc--did not exactly expect such a pale, purple-eyed creature and were mostly ignorant to the pigment disorder until Corrine came along. They learned what they could, of course, and Jennifer pushed her daughter into wearing makeup relatively early. "You need some color, let's darken your eyelashes, a pretty pink for your lips," are criticisms the young girl got a lot. Still, she was never bullied even though she attended public school before attending Caelbury Academy (and perhaps it was because of her mother's attention).
So she grew to enjoy school life; outside of public school, she was enrolled in other classes, as well. Partly because they wanted their daughter to live a life rich with music and culture, and partly because Quincy and Jennifer had so little time to actually spend with her. So Corrine was always buried in schoolwork or piano classes or French classes or art classes. Despite all these, she never really had any close friends, and tended to focus on bettering herself than the others around her.
Until there was a boy, anyway. She started high school--still in public school--and he was a couple years older. He made her feel special and loved--and beautiful--and dating an older boy of course earned brownie points as far as popularity went. He was the first to call her Cori. However, he and his family were by the Woods' standards, skeezy. Neither Quincy nor Jennifer approved much and they knew the tabloids wouldn't either. So, the Woods packed up and left at the end of Cori's freshman year. For sophomore year, she was enrolled into Caelbury Academy.
At the time, she was heartbroken. The move had awakened a demanding brat that her parents could only calm with gifts and money. And, after enough clothes and makeup and new cars, Cori found the strength to get over her lost love. She grew content with Caelbury Academy and found the crowd much more relatable than the drivel at public school.
Favorite memoryPiano recital, she was 12 years old. Both mother and father were there to watch her and she didn't catch either of them on their phone once. She doesn't remember how well she did, but she remembers the beautiful opalescent dress she wore and the pride in her parents' faces.
Least favorite memoryLess because of the fear and more because the whole story is humiliating: he "ran away" the summer her family moved to a fair. When her parents figured out where she was, they called her and told her that her mother would be there to pick her up. So she got into the ferris wheel--and got stuck at the top. When they finally got her down, she was a blubbering mess.
"Father will hear about this."
