Cora Chromis/Relationships

Overview Events

---

Nova Holland

“Nova’s my best friend! She’s the first land dweller I ever met. She helped me realize they’re not as bad as my people think.”

One day while out collecting things on the outskirts of Pao’lakia, Cora saw a figure diving in the distance. Swimming down to the bottom and back up over and over again. Curious as ever, Cora moved in to investigate. She came face to face with Nova, and was immediately interested in her. She followed as Nova swam back up to resurface, but when the kindred climbed out of the water and onto the land, Cora stayed behind. She explained how she’s not allowed to interact with the land dwellers, but this didn’t stop her. The two found ways to see each other regularly, Nova swimming down to play with Cora, and Cora surfacing near the waterfront to speak with Nova. Eventually, Cora’s visitations were brought to a stop when her grandmother found out, and as a way to keep the young submatar safe, she forbade her from seeing Nova again. Once Cora was old enough to leave on her own, her and Nova would cross paths again, reuniting the childhood friends once more.

Senti Ballahast

“He’s like my bigger brother… even though I’m older! I love Senti so much. I’d do anything for him.”

After arriving on land and wandering into Eversun for the first time, Cora became particularly interested in a certain ant sectum making his rounds in the city. She tailed him for quite some time, keeping her distance and watching from afar, studying this individual who didn’t look like anything she’d seen before. Little did she know he’d been doing the exact same: watching Cora and taking notes whenever she wasn’t looking. Eventually, their paths inevitably crossed, the two literally bumping into each other. Laughs were had, and they introduced themselves. Since then, Cora has seen Senti as her brother. She drags him to events and outings despite his objections, and often can be seen hanging out together under any given tree. Cora loves Senti with her whole heart and sees him as a protector of sorts, resulting in the two being a nearly inseparable pair.

Oat

That’s my Mama Oat!! She’s so nice to me, and I love coming over to visit. She always has some tasty apple juice ready for me!

Oat sees Cora as her own daughter, and Cora sees Oat as the mother she never knew. When Senti introduced them, Cora immediately started calling her “Mama Oat”, much to Senti’s surprise. She often visits Oat at the Ballahast manor when she can, and takes her out to the market district for shopping sprees.

Imichi Aisuvan

Imi’s so funny! I love hanging out with her and I love the way she talks! She can be a little much at times, but that’s ok!

Cora absolutely adores Imichi’s upbeat and excitable personality. She’s a lot like Cora in a way, just more violent. The two will play together on occasion outside of the Coldstone Winery shop whenever Imichi isn’t too busy.

Odin Finch

Big sis Odie!! She’s so so nice and a real sweetheart for letting me come to the Valhalla project.

After learning about the Valhalla project and all the orphans there, Cora decided to pay them a visit. There she met Odin, and Cora almost immediately latched on, seeing Odin as her big sister. She is a valuable asset to the project, helping out with mini events and festivals for the kids. She also is a beloved member of the family, with every child there treating her as their big sis.

Korin Altair

Korin never tells me he loves me, but he doesn’t have to because I say it enough for the both of us! I love my big bro and I won’t stop telling him!!

Of course, as is the case with most of Odin’s friends, once you befriend her, a relationship with Korin isn’t far behind. Cora, of course, latched onto Korin as quick as she did with Odin, and now she treats him as her big brother. Much to Korin’s dismay, She’ll poke him, tease him, steal his beanie, all the things an annoying little sister would do. But every time she sees her big brother, she makes it known that she loves him. Even if he doesn’t verbally reciprocate.

Monica Holst

Monica is a great friend, and an amazing storyteller! I always look forward to story time with her… and don’t tell Korin, but I do like Monica’s storytelling better.

One day at the Valhalla project, the kids were gathering around for story time. Cora, being her usual curious self, was intrigued and sat down in the crowd with the kids. She was excited and eager for her first story time, and sat restless until the storyteller came up and started reading. It was Monica Holst, and once she got going, Cora’s eyes lit up at her enthusiastic performance. The kindred’s animated movements, facial expressions and voices delighted Cora, and she was thoroughly infatuated with the story. Once it was over, Cora ran up and gave Monica a big hug, thanking her for the unforgettable performance. Ever since, they became good friends, with Cora sitting in the crowd for every single one of Monica’s stories.

Talahae Solhelidae

I’m still not sure what a therapist is, but Tallie does a great job at it! I don’t mind that she cries all the time. That’s just what she does!

Cora and Talahae are like exact opposites. One is cheerful and optimistic, the other is sorrowful and miserable. But Cora understands that due to her curse, that’s just part of who she is, and doesn’t try too hard to cheer her up. Cora oftentimes will visit Tallie’s office, bombarding her with questions and stories just like she’d do to anyone else. Hopefully Cora’s presence serves to help Tallie forget about her sorrows, if only for a moment.

Fovelly

Fovelly is just the cutest thing! I love giving her fishyback rides, and she’s actually pretty amazing at hide-and-seek! I always love to see her when I visit.

Just like with any of the Valhalla kids, Cora always makes sure to spend time with Fovie. Thanks to her energetic personality, she’s able to keep up with the spider fairly easily, never tiring out from running around the park with her, climbing trees, bugging Korin, or playing their special game: Spin the Spider! She sees her as a little sibling, and treats her as such, as well as all the Valhalla kids.

Pendra

Penny’s a lot like me, and I think that’s why we get along! She’s… excitable!! I love that about her.

Pendra is, in fact, a lot like Cora. Peppy, cheery, and perhaps a little loud at times. Although compared to Cora, she’s a lot louder than her. Upon first meeting Penny, Cora immediately noticed how much they had in common, and a bond was formed quickly. Cora will sometimes challenge the dragon to footraces in Harper Park, or if she’s not feeling very active, she’ll just let Penny yap to her about whatever or ask questions Cora definitely doesn’t know the answer to.

Nivian

Nivi is a lot of fun to be around! She’s much quieter than Penny, sure, but she always asks me to do interesting things for her! I guess that means she trusts me…?

Despite the disparities in their personalities, somehow Cora still found a way to become friends with Nivi. Due to Cora’s sheltered childhood, there’s still a lot about the world that she doesn’t know, which means she is the perfect target for Nivian’s curiosities regarding the unknown. Cora falls for the things Nivi tells her every. Single. Time. Always resulting in confusion or harmless little accidents. But aside from that, Cora makes for a great listener, and will always listen to and try to understand whatever Nivi comes to her with.

At the project, the two of them will spend time looking for cool bugs in the grass, or just sitting together in silence under the big Harperberry tree.

Meridian Archterberg Synastra

Meri’s great! She always has the best cookies when I visit, and her outfits are always so cute! I have to ask her where she gets them sometime.

Cora and Meri share a unique friendship. When Cora first visited the project, Meri persuaded her to take her to Sugarbuns, and of course, Cora accepted with no hesitation. Ever since, the two have become something of a force to be reckoned with, with Cora blindly falling for Meri’s girlcharm every time and helping her achieve what she wants. But Meridian makes up for it by letting Cora play along with her fantastical games, and Cora is always happy to play the role of “Mermaid Princess” in Princess Meridian’s Harper Kingdom. In her own words: “Every kingdom needs a mermaid princess!”

The two also go on shopping sprees whenever they both have the free time, with Meri teaching Cora about fashion and makeup and how to look extra pretty and sparkly like she does.

Pollux and Castor

Those two are just the most adorable little birds! Cas is so precious and I love coloring with her, and Pollie is so energetic! I love them both dearly.

The twins might be a handful for anyone else, but Cora somehow manages to stay sane around them. She’s always willing to just sit around quietly with the shy Castor, or to run around and tackle Hanze with the more wild Pollux. She does a great job at matching their energies to make sure they’re the most comfortable. As mentioned, Cora loves coloring with Castor, and will even go out and buy the best coloring books and pencils she can find for the little birdy. As for Pollux, she’ll often bring him lots of fun toys to keep him occupied.

Siffon

Siffon is so much fun! I love playing with him at Harper Park, he always has the wildest imagination!

Ever since visiting the Valhalla Project for the first time, Cora made it her mission to play with every kid there, one of them being the red panda Kindred Siffon. Cora quickly became accustomed to his rambunctious spirit, and now happily plays along in every game the boy comes up with. She often finds herself playing the damsel in distress role, being rescued again and again by the Red Forest Ranger.
