Corinne Elyse Grove
Nickname: Cori
Age: 24
Race: Human
Occupation: Bartender
Status: Single
Personality: Corinne is a very different type of girl. She likes when people show interest in her and are nice, but hates when they try to take care of her. She's pretty independent and would rather spend a weekend alone, reading a book. Rather than spend on shopping at the mall with a group of people. Cori takes directions well. If you ask her to do something, she'll usually do it. Mostly she is a pretty nice person, until you make her angry and then she turns in someone less nice. Though she rarely holds grudges. If she has a problem with you she state it, argue it out, then be your friend again the next day. Cori likes to be the person that fixes people's problems and she likes being the one they come to for help. There are two sides of her; the rough outer-shell and the soft interior. When push comes to shove, she'll throw a few punches back. But if you need help and you're scared, she'll be the one that comforts you.
Detailed History: Cori didn't have a perfect childhood, but who does? Her parents were good enough people, but they had a weakness for drugs and alcohol. In the end, that proved to be their demise. When Cori was 9, she and her brother Alex went to live with their grandfather. He provided them with everything they needed; food, shelter, and clothes on their back. But in return he made them hunt. Well, not so much Cori as Alex. Her grandfather and brother would be gone all night and come back in the morning smelling like smoke and blood. She didn't ask her brother what they did, she figured if he wanted her to know, he'd tell her.
So her life went on like that for the longest time. Until she turned 15, that was. Alex and her grandfather went out for a "hunt", that's what they called it. Not like they ever explained it to her. They were gone longer this time, but Cori didn't worry about it. Maybe there was a lot of good game around these areas. When her grandfather game home the next evening, looking more worn out then ever, she knew something was wrong. Alex wasn't there. When she inquired to where her brother was, all her grandfather said was that "he didn't make it" on the hunt. Of course, this left her distraught.
She was in her first year of high school, it wasn't any easy time for her. With her brothers death hanging over her head, Cori found it hard to concentrate in school. Though she passed all her classes, she never excelled in any of them. Many times she thought about acting out, or just stopping going to school all together, but she Knew Alex wouldn't have wanted that. He always said that he wouldn't allow them to end up like their parents, poor and uneducated. Most of the time, Cori was a loner. There were a few people that she were friends with, but it wasn't like she could just tell them that she couldn't go to their sleepover because she'd be hunting demons.
Cori was never ugly, but she was never drop-dead-gorgeous either. Few people noticed her. She was basically just the quiet girl that no one messed with because she wore all black and looked like she could kick your ass. Once there was a boy that did like her, and she liked him. She thought she could trust him, but when she ended up telling him what she did for, he called her crazy. He broke her heart. And he spread rumors that she belonged in an asylum. No one ever hit her with their fists, but they hit her with their words. Her reputation as being the bad-ass girl shattered. Now she was just a nerd.
When she first started getting trained to be a hunter, she didn't understand it. If demons wanted people, why not let them take 'em? How was it their problem? Cori was fueled by her anger. Each demon's face she saw was the one that killed her brother. Her grandfather trained her hard and brutally. He made her strong. She hated him for it, every second of every day. She used that hatred to fuel her yearning to get better at hunting and fighting. To begin with, she didn't give a crap about demons. But in the end, all she wanted to do was kill them.
When Corinne turned 18 she took the keys to her grandfather's car, $600 he had in a jar on the fridge, and got outta that town. When the old man died, he left all his things to her. Cori sold the house and most of his things. From there on she went from town to town hunting and doing other things to make money. In the town that she's in right now, she's a waitress at a little cafe.
