General Behavior: 
Cori is one of those 'one of the guys' type ladies. Though she silently enjoys the beauty of the world and the beauty of other's crafts she'll never fully admit it. Unless she was of course, pressed in questioning. She was raised to fight because she was strong, but also to fight because there are people who aren't strong enough. Cori isn't the one to back down on something if she is determined but she'll listen to the higher ranks because she catches the fact that they were put there for some sort of reason.
She is very strong willed and the only one who gets to see much of her soft side is her brother; or any young child with a dream really.
Cori will only wear dresses and act as lady-like as she can when she's at parties or 'balls' or what have you. She will not tolerate wearing a dress during knight business that doesn't require her to wear her armour. However, she will wear a kilt or pants. She is a woman who sees past gender 'roles' she finds them silly. Though a knight and easily pleased with a bed, food and drink, she is rather intelligent. Some would say she is very tactical too and picks her fights unlike a viking, something that Eilis gave to her daughter as a gift. Cori has the braun of a viking and the intelligence of a Northern Lady.
Careless, prissy, over dramatic people piss her off; so please beware.

Eilis was a Northern noble at the age of 15 when she was taken to the East to be wedded off to a 12 year old Squire named Caolan. On the road her caravan was raided and she had been taken by the Vikings for a toy, these vikings weren't like the normal sorts they were the sorts that terrorized small settlements and acted like ruthless bandits. The Viking who had taken her was beginning to gain his title of Red Bear; he had gained the title the night he raped Eilis. Months later Eilis found herself being dumped back into the Northern Kingdom's outskirts by Red Bear. A part of the man had given into regret for taking her. Even with the months though the young Squire still accepted her. Eilis' family though didn't tell the family about her state until Eilis showed up in the Eastern Kingdom. She had explained everything to the family and the Frighils accepted her in anyhow. Once Eilis gave birth, it was quite obvious what kind of person her father was. Her child, though a daughter, was born big boned and held fire for hair.

They didn't hide the fact that the dark skinned, dark haired man wasn't her father. Caolan was too scrawny and less rugged. Though genetics can reach farther back Frighil men were all fairly dark in complexion. Eilis had very blonde hair but did have some relatives with red hair. Because of this, Eilis and Caolan never lied to Cori. They didn't even lie to their son they had 3 years after. Not that it mattered, Cori had no use for a father who wasn't in the picture but she did have use for the fire she had for hair and the big boned body figure.

When Cori was 12, her 9 year old brother was pressed to take up the sword like his father and past fathers of the Frighil. When young poetry loving Cinaed declined, Cori stepped in and began practicing with her father's swords and axes. At first she did it behind his back but not many months after she caught a very drunken male knight in a spar. She knocked him out after guarding her brother from his strike. Her father was pressed by the higher ups in the Knight's Order. She began to 'squire' below him.
As she grew she had eyes for a young male squire but he decided to settle for an older wife. Telling Cori that she had been too 'masculine' for his liking. She grew a shield around her heart after. It will take many a tries to catch her heart off guard or parry away her shield.

At the age of 22 her father finally put her knight-future into action.
