"OH MY GOD! I have bubble magic!!"

Cordelia is a college student and a large lanky sasquatch. Although her memories of her early life are hazy, she grew up alone in the woods before she emerged into the relatively civilized world of Cordelia, after which she took her name. Her life in solitude has given her a peculiar perspective on the world, as well as a shaky grasp on social norms. She is one of the star party members in the Class Dismissed campaign.
During a ritual in her sorority, Cordelia was approached by a demon named Cheddar, who offered her a "unique business opportunity" in the form of an infernal pact. He granted her demonic magic in exchange for distributing "coupons" for his restaurant in Hell. Since she was given her powers rather than learning them, Cordelia will often cast spells without knowing what they do, causing chaos during combat.
Appearance[]
Cordelia is a gorgeous sasquatch, though she spent most of her life without meeting another. She has horizontal goat-like pupils, lavender hair, and likes to wear boyfriend jean shorts and a jean jacket. She is easily the tallest in the party at eight feet and is nearly covered in fur. When she runs her gait resembles that of the "bigfoot" in the famous Patterson-Gimlin film, including the iconic backwards-glance.
Relationships[]
Cordelia is used to a life of solitude and is naturally independent. While she can be very sociable, she can also display a poor grasp of social cues. She initially struggles to understand the importance of others' feelings. Despite this, she is often most mature member of the group when it comes to moderating and listening to others.
Cordelia and Albee are close friends at the start of the campaign. They're members of the same sorority and often stick up for each other and offer each other emotional support.
Cordelia thinks of Frederick de Bonesby as "an asshole," but shows an interest in his skill for spell-casting. She will often attempt to mimic his spells during combat despite having a completely different lexicon of spells at her command. Frederick has taken a mutual interest in her as the only other offensive caster of the group. During the party's stay at Fort Casual, she trains with Frederick and begins to learn to properly wield her demonic magic. She uses these interactions to enforce some level of caring and courtesy on de Bonesby, aiding in his slow change to a more empathetic person.
Cordelia initially approves of Albee's crush on Bellow and acts as her wingman whenever she can. She occasionally (somewhat playfully) offers to kill anyone who upset Albee. Over time she realizes that her feelings for Albee are romantic and admits them to Albee. She enters into a brief and uneasy dibs-based relationship with Albee who is simultaneously dating Bellow. Before long she breaks this off, finding the three person arrangement uncomfortable and emotionally painful. Soon thereafter she pursues a summer fling with Bellow's sister Val in Brian Doyle Falls. She shares an interest in gossip and crushes with Stirfry.
Cordelia has a relatively pleasant -if somewhat unprofessional- relationship with her patron demon Cheddar. Although initially an employer/employee relationship the two bond quickly and form a strange friendship. Cheddar seems to show genuine interest and concern for her, even stating he wants her to be happy, although he admits that she confuses him. During the episode Brothers Keeper, Cheddar grants her more power and provides her a guide/familiar in Cordelia Junior who is at best politely indifferent to her affairs and well-being.
