History
Date of Birth: November 20th, 1978
Home: San Jose, California, United States
Family: Kanda Shigeru and Remi (parents), Kanda Sae (birth name)
The Awakening: Observed Injustice (high-income family, parents immigrated from Japan for tech work; she assimilated quickly, accent soon purged, and she became more and more rebellious to her tradition-minded parents; she began to attend raves and similar dances, and she immersed herself in that goth/rave culture; one day, the cops raided the place and despite it being a simple bust, they used live-ammo and dangerous knock-out gas; she lashed out with frightened screams that tore the cops' flesh from bone, then passed out; friends ushered her out), 1995
Mentor: Jaelyn Cannon
The Test: Trial by Wit (Jaelyn saved her from that rave and introduced her to the Hollow Ones, and Sae settled down in the Waydown Chantry for several years, absorbing knowledge and fostering her own talent around her peers, until Jaelyn one day cornered her out of the blue with a rapid succession of challenging "what if" questions that she managed through beautifully)
Comrades: Jaelyn Cannon, Zhenzhu, Chester Aspers, Magnus Vë, Melani, Camille Troy, Lora Amory
Key Event #1: Awe & Wonder (Sae lingered in the Waydown for a while, studying and practicing her Arts, but also developing an affection for burlesque counter-culture, becoming a fixture in the Bay Area scene at BDSM and burlesque troupes; she changed her name to Cordelia Hannigan to stay off her family's radar and to fully embrace the culture)
Key Event #2: Personal Tragedy (eventually, she and Zhenzhu began to have a bizarre rivalry neither of them could put their finger on, but Cordelia took the first major step--by leaving the Waydown before the rivalry got too serious, and she moved to New Orleans to take in the goth scene there)
Transition: Loss of Companions (though she left behind her buddies in the Bay Area, she readily made new friends and even lovers here in the Big Easy, continuing her burlesque dancing and dominatrix persona)
Darkly Boudoir (Sanctum)

Melani
Weakness
Look, Don't Touch; Touch, But Don't Taste!
Cordelia is an eternal tease. It's part of her professional and personality both. Some folk do not respond well to being teased. Some folk cannot be torn asunder with a simple shriek.
Likelihood of Corruption
Average.
Cordelia's not a bad girl despite the persona. She's not a murdering psycho or wannabe vampire/monster. But she is "in it".
