Cordelia is the only daughter to Dalton and Ilya Chevalier, a noble family residing within Union. Drawing from a long line of soldiers, the Chevalier family has served the Sword of the Savior since early into its inception; her father would be no different. Acting as a tactical adviser, he gained renown through his actions, his leadership and his ability with a sword despite being a seemingly Unenlightened human.
As their only daughter, Cordelia was groomed to follow in her father's footsteps as a member of the Swords, and, with rather large shoes to fill, did so in stride. At a very early age, she excelled in her studies as well as her ability to fight, despite her Enlightened abilities not manifesting. This was not all-together surprising in the least, as both her father and mother not an Enlightened. Showing great aptitude, and considering her familial background, she was placed on the fast track toward becoming a Sword, and, at the age of fourteen, joined their ranks.
She found quickly, however, that while she had a great desire to protect the people within Union, more and more she wished to know what the world outside those walls were like. It was because of this that, in her off time, Cordelia began volunteering her services to the Rangers, acting as further protection for groups venturing outside of Union, and began to appreciate the beauty of a world beyond the towers and walls.
However, while acting as a body guard to a small group, tragedy struck in the form of a wild pokemon attack. Most of their group devastated by a very sudden and brutal attack, and most of the group lost their lives. Cordelia did what she could to defend against it, ready to lay down her life for the safety of others, but instead was saved both by another bodyguard as well as a sudden awakening of Enlightened powers. While their group was not completely devastated, this is a bit of guilt that she holds with her even still.
Feeling herself unworthy to continue as a Sword of the Savior if she was unable to prevent such tragedy, she instead stepped down from her position, taking up unofficial work with the Rangers, despite her family's best wishes. It was through this separation of what she felt was expected from her that led her to, once she turned eighteen, seek her own space, living away from the Chevalier estate in a modest flat. Taking on odd jobs to help supplement rent, she was urged by her ranger peers to take on a full position, one that she still debates she is unworthy of filling.
This, however, opened her world up further, part of her assignment involving caring for the flying types in the stables. Taking naturally to them, after a year of working in the stables, she requested she be transferred specifically to the flying type division, especially given her dual typing. This is where she has managed to happily settle.

PERSONALITY |
Duty. Honor. Integrity. Devotion. Pride.
These make up the outer core of Cordelia's being. A duty to her country and to its future king. A sense of honor for what she does and who she serves Integrity of self and the expectation that others were hold themselves in the same regard. Unyielding devotion to those who fight under the same banner, for the same purpose of peace. And pride in what she does to the point of separation in some respects.
As a Pegasus Knight fighting for peace under the banner of Ylisse, there is a certain standard that she upholds for herself, to the point of perfection. She expects only the best from herself and will accept nothing short of that, no matter what the circumstance. Battle? She'll be the strongest, the most dedicated spear woman in her troupe. Preparation? You better believe she's up at early hours getting supplies in place for herself and others, sharpening her spear and making sure that she is ready for whatever may come her way. Truly, she is a woman that makes sure she is ready to approach any and everything at her best, as she knows that this is what is expected of her, both by herself and by her peers. In many ways, however, this can seen as her being haughty, full of herself or, in more extreme cases, arrogant. However, this is furthest from the truth; it is through striving for perfection within herself that she can properly provide for those under her wing. She holds a great amount of guilt for the deaths of her comrades, and while she does not often speak about it, it drives a lot of her actions, and is a dark shadow that hovers over her.
Cordelia leaves nothing to chance, and because of this can be somewhat dismissive of those who rely heavily upon luck. This is often a point of contention between her and her best friend and fellow Pegasus Knight, Sumia. While she opts to rely upon horoscopes, flowers and other methods to determine her fate, Cordelia bets upon what is tried and true, and that is personal results.
That isn't to say that she is without her flights of fancy. Cordelia does have her own guilty pleasure, while she does her best to hide it. The redhead is not always serious, and behind closed doors, she is a closet romance novel fanatic, and is very, VERY concerned with other people's love lives. Perhaps it is a bit of escapism from her one-sided love for the man that would one day rule Ylisse, who only looks upon her as a knight and not the woman that she wishes to be. She has come to terms with it in many ways, although it does take some of her in-game supports to finally realize that she can finally move on. Not particularly outwardly feminine, this may too be a way that she shows herself that she is more than just a knight.
Despite being fairly serious, she can have a bit of a sillier, more laid back side, however, this bit of her personality is reserved to those she knows well enough to be comfortable around. This often takes time, and her since of humor may be a bit... awkward, if you could really call it humor. She takes things quite a bit literally, but still tries to keep things light at times, which make for some "interesting" conversations.
Cordelia is, in so many ways, the woman that she puts herself out to be. |
POWERS |
Cordelia is a Mastery of Battle Enlightened, starting with Flying/Fighting typing. For all intents and purposes, her flying typing will be latent as far as abilities are concerned, at least before her first evolution. A spear fighter, much of her Enlightened ability will be rather subdued, making her a slightly tougher than normal on foot figther. As she levels, her evasion will slowly start to tick upward. While she will have no access to Flying type moves, Cordelia will be able to learn Focus Blast, Revenge and Sky Uppercut but with a lance.
Upon first evolution, she will see little physical change--small wings appear behind her ears, and her body becomes a bit more lithe and agile. Her Flying type ability will become more prevalent, and she will gain access to a few perks pertaining to that. She'll gain a rather large speed boost (ala Agility), Aerial Ace and, around level 45, Cordelia will be given access to Roost.
Upon her final evolution, Cordelia will be adding Dark typing to her arsenal. Through this, Cordelia will be given access to the Flying type attacks Tailwind, Brave Bird, Extreme Speed and, finally, Aeroblast. She will also be given access to Super Power and Aura Sphere. Gaining a severe speed boost, at times it may seem that she is able to attack multiple targets at the same time. |
