Cordelia

The sole survivor of Ylisse's pegasus knights. Humble and supremely talented. Appears in Fire Emblem Awakening. Name: Cordelia Gender: Female Race: Human Birthday: July 7 Relatives: Severa (Future daughter) Occupation: Member of the Pegasus Knight Squad, Member of the Shepherds Weapon: Lances </Personal Information> Cordelia is a young woman with fair skin, knee-length long red hair, a modest bust and red eyes. Her attire consists of a sleeveless red and white tunic, silver chest plate and arm plates, red long boots, red arm guards and wing-shaped hair clips on her hair.

Hailed as a genius by many, Cordelia is a perfectionist who can do most things flawlessly with utter ease. As a result, Cordelia can come off as arrogant, and by her own admission when speaking to Virion, she is a bit ill-tempered. Despite her talents, she dislikes being referred to as a genius as it reminds her of her Pegasus Knight Squadron who hazed her mercilessly for her talents. Ironically, she has low self-esteem and tends to downplay her achievements. Cordelia is dissatisfied with the term "average" and aims to achieve perfect mastery in her skills and whatever she sets her mind to, with Chrom noting that it is her greatest strength and weakness. At times, she can go overboard with her level of effort, surprising even Robin with how meticulously she keeps track of the supplies of the entire army on her own and even crafted her own spear with a few suggestions by them. Both Lon'qu and Libra describe her as a workaholic, as she continuously frets over unfinished work for the army and stresses over it, even exhausting herself too much by trying to do too much on her own. In some ways, her work ethic contributed to the hazing her platoon members gave her, but it was only upon their deaths did she realize that they were serious in their belief in her and continues to fight for their legacy. Phila served as Cordelia's main mentor during her recruit days and thus holds she great respect towards her. She admires her combat prowess and also hopes on becoming as good of a harpist as Phila apparently was. Her death weighed heavily on her. She also has a close relationship with Sumia, her childhood friend and fellow Pegasus Knight recruit. While she dismisses the unreliable nature of Sumia's flower fortunes, she accepts Sumia's ritual for what it is worth after hearing her reasoning and the two hold steadfast loyalty and belief in each other's capabilities. Cordelia has strong, unrequited feelings for Chrom ever since he saved her during a incident when she tried to do too much on her own, but she keeps them hidden since she knows that he has feelings for someone else; thus, making a relationship with him impossible. This is reflected in the game and Fire Emblem Warriors with Chrom and Cordelia being unable to support one another. Around Chrom, most notably in the Summer Scramble, she acts quite nervous, tense, and overwhelmed by emotion when around him, having a hard time every time she speaking to him, once even fainting at the idea of physical contact with him. Her clear affection for Chrom is noticed by many of the other men in the army that she can support, with this particularly being on a reason of conflict with her future daughter, Severa. Cordelia will eventually move past these feelings towards Chrom if she achieves an S-Support. This is reflected in one of her Event Tile quotes with her daughters as well as more specifically to Robin in the Summer Scramble. In the Roster Rescue and Summer Scramble DLCs, she is shown to be embarrassed by her modest bust size, constantly wearing her breastplate to make it seem that her breasts are bigger than they really are. Cordelia sighs the most in the army.

Cordelia is a member of Ylisse's Pegasus Knights and a childhood friend of Sumia. From a young age, both desired to become members of the Ylissean Pegasus Knights and both became recruits under the senior officer Phila. Eventually Cordelia achieved her dream and became a full fledged member of the squad while Sumia left the squad to join Prince Chrom's Shepherds. From her time as a recruit and well into her time as a member of the squad, Cordelia developed a reputation as a prodigious soldier, though she was heavily hazed as a result. Nonetheless, Phila expressed confidence in her potential and assured her that she would become an exemplary knight. During an undisclosed incident in the past, she was rescued by Chrom, the prince of Ylisse. Charmed by his dashing rescue, Cordelia became smitten by the prince, but decided to keep her feelings to herself as she noticed that his affections were for someone else. Cordelia and her squad were stationed in Ylisstol to protect the capital while Emmeryn was being escorted away to protect her from the Plegian army. However, her squad was decimated by a surprise attack by Plegia on the capital. During the brutal defense, Cordelia's squadron seniors sent her to deliver the dire news to Emmeryn and Phila. Cordelia makes contact with the Shepherds at Border Pass just shortly after the Hierarch betrays them to a Plegian force lead by Vasto. After the Shepherds manage to defeat Vasto's forces, Emmeryn decides to return to the capital to parley with Gangrel with Phila in tow for protection. Cordelia volunteers to accompany them back to Ylisse; however, Phila orders her to stay with Chrom and his army, which she reluctantly agrees to. Cordelia uses lances as her main weapons.
