Cordelia (Tonight Comic Character)

Cordelia is a 36 year old single person living in the year 2133. Her nickname is Del. She is around 5’5” with light muted pink hair, piercings, and tattoos. Her left eye is a very light pink. Her right eye is biotic, which is a mandatory procedure for her work. She has freckles across the bridge of her nose and cheeks. She won’t be wearing clothing in the comic, but I drew a version with her regular styling for characterization purposes.

Her tattoos include a heart and dagger on the left side of her pelvis, a spider’s web on her centre sternum, a tooth on the middle finger of her right hand, a lit matchstick on the inner side of her upper right arm, a mystic eye on the outside of her upper right forearm, a moon and stars on the left side of her chest, a leaf on the side of the top of her left hand, a small open safety pin behind her left heel, and a pair of cherries on the left side of her lower back.

Her piercings include a septum ring, both nostrils, both cheeks, nose bridge, upper left cheek, and stretched earlobes.

Her style preferences include accessories made of scrap items like wires and pieces of plastic and metal. Her “signature look” includes an oversized coat in bold fabrics (like fur, plastic, velvet, heavy wool), something simple, tight, and revealing underneath (thin stretchy fabrics), and a boot of some sort. She does not ever wear any kind of undergarment.

Like most employed people, she is confined to a corporate high rise where she lives and works in a small apartment. Her job entails moderating AI interactions on a mental health care app. She works 12 hours per day, 6 days per week, and she is paid with modest lodgings, a basic meal plan, and a small consumption allowance of 3 tokens per day, which is a very small amount.

Del’s hobbies focus on old media, including nu metal, Ink Master (she’s such a huge fan that she figured out how to make her own tattoo gun), Metroid porn, and the podcast Old Gods of Appalachia. She has a sarcastic humour and a general cynicism that puts most people off, even though the average person is equally cynical. She is very confident but also very disillusioned, a combination that has made a her a brutally honest and stubborn person. She is a heavy user of hallucinogens and is insatiably promiscuous. She has a handful of acquiatinances who share her media consumption patterns and she is quite popular on the intimacy scheduling apps, but she feels quite solitary and disconnected from others in her general life, which is the absolute norm in 2133.
