Cornelia Precious (pronounced pre-she-us) goes by Connie(thank you so much, you're a doll), and has way more interesting things to do than talk about boring old history, especially hers.
"I remember looking at her and thinking 'tall.' Then I remember thinking 'she looks like a thrift store ate her up and spit her back out." Somebody's grandpa's clothes, a wine aunt's rings and bracelets, mostly costume jewelry and old silver, a set of beat-up Fly Londons... About the only thing that looked like it was actually hers was the glasses: a set of thin, square frames perched on her nose that just made her look cuter instead of geeky.
That was Connie in a nutshell. She always stuck out a little, even with the other weirdos, like the world hadn't quite been made for her. She was cute, she smiled a lot, and people loved her energy; she never seemed to stay in one place for long, though. My parents said she had a bit of the wanderlust, whatever that means.
Well, she blew into town, stayed for a few months, then vanished like she'd never been. We were all the lesser for it, I think, though everybody gave a little sigh of relief that she was gone. She had a way of getting you into trouble, making you swear off fooling around with her, then dragging you on another grand ole lark a week later. Pretty sure she ruined Nancy and Grady Shaeffer's marriage. Pretty sure she saved Owen and Natalie's, though. Robert and George have been real friendly recently, too.
I miss her. Pretty sure everybody else does, too.

Appearance
Physical Description
taller than most, a lot of which is leg. Her shoulders are a little broad, but the rest of her is slender, giving her a very lanky look. She jogs and swims regularly, so her core is toned and her calves are killer.
Body Features
She has cat ears, and a tail. You can't see them unless you have the eyes for it, but they're there. Her ears are the same color as her hair, even dyed.
Facial Features
She has an assortment of piercings: eyebrow, nose, tongue, as well as a few hidden others.
Her face is heart-shaped, with huge, expressive eyes, and early laugh lines forming. She likes to wrinkle her nose as part of her expressions sometimes, and her tongue is rougher than normal.
Identifying Characteristics
Lilac hair, height, and a wardrobe that can at best be described as 'eclectic'
Physical quirks
She likes to knock things off of shelves and counters. She's very tactile, and likes touching, lounging on, and draping herself across people.
Apparel & Accessories
She wears a number of bracelets and rings, a messenger bag, and her glasses. She smells like a stripper, since she uses the same glittery lotion and a vanilla body wash.
Specialized Equipment
She's a 'dealer of exotics'. She travels to other worlds and acquires 'antiquities' for people: literal angel dust, pixie dust, exotic kinds of alcohol, you name it. She knows a lot of people, and most of them are glad to see her... ish.
Special abilities
Terabithia allows her to grow from 'adventures' she drags someone else on, so she happily trades Strings for it. Through The Looking Glass let's her go to other worlds and come back, though that can be harder than the initial trip sometimes.
Mentality
Personal history
There's way too many interesting things to do in the here and now to talk about the past, hers or someone else's.
Education
Doing college now, though halfheartedly.
Employment
Rx baby! Been working the pills and powders for years now!
person.sexuality
Bisexual, leaning towards pan.
person.gender_identity
Cis Female
Taboos
Doesn't like getting tied up, but will wear a collar if you get her one.
Known Languages
English, Gaelic, Spanish, Ancient Sumerian(with a Nippuran Accent)
Personality
Motivation
Do interesting Things! Have Fun! You're going to die eventually, you might as well enjoy life while you have it!
Quotes & Catchphrases
"Let's go find out!"
Hygiene
Her hair's usually a little messy, since she runs her hands through it, but not unkempt. She constantly smells like Secret deodorant and vanilla stripper.
Social
Birthplace
San Bernadino, California
Current Residence
Someone's couch, and a storage unit on 45th street
Contacts & Relations
She still talks to her grandmother occasionally, who lives locally in L.A. Her grandmother has similar features to her own ears and tail, though they've long since gone grey with age. Regardless, Mamó Cleena knows better than to try and keep an antsy cat in a house when it wants to roam.
■ Patrick is Connie's Current Bestie. He's stressed out, neurotic, and in dire need of getting wrecked and wrung out. But he keeps saying yes, and Connie loves that.
■ Shiloh's dead. That's a bummer, but at least he's got time on his hands now. He'd be a great drug mule...
■ Vaynia: Hot. Strong. Werewolf. Lesbian. Gimme.
■ Bev says yes. Always. Connie loves that about her.
■ Bev doesn't know Nerissa too well. They stare in that direction a lot during class, but it's mostly because she sits behind Timothy, who is worse at reading a room than Bev is.
Honorary & Occupational Titles
Grimalkin, That Weird Girl, Purple
Wealth & Financial state
She keeps about 5 grand in her storage unit, but only a couple hundred on her person. Her rings are worth a bit, in a pinch, but she'd prefer not to lose them.
Family Ties
She has two younger sisters who don't call, but miss her terribly. She has a mother that would call every day if she had Connie's number, which is why she doesn't. She has a father that can't call, even when he wants to. She visits him occasionally, when she passes that way.
She visits “Mamó Cleena occasionally, and they both recognize that it would end in disaster if they saw each other every day. Her grandmother is from the old country, with the accent and everything, and all the traditional values that come with that.
Religious Views
Connie grapples with uncertainty involving religion. She has seen Chosen Ones, Infernals, Fomorians, and Serpentines. Which version of heaven is real? Which does she want, and which does she deserve?
Social Aptitude
Connie is pretty, daring, and affable; people keep getting into trouble with her and swearing off associating with her, but the next time she pops up with a smile and a gleam in her eye, they're not thinking 'oh no' but 'here we go again.'
Mannerisms
She's very tactile. When bored, she runs her hands through her hair. When around people, she enjoys touching them, lounging in laps or draping herself across shoulders. She perches when she could sit, and is more likely to hop onto your counter than into a perfectly good chair.
Hobbies & Pets
No pets for her, but she loves swimming and thrifting. Her grandmother jokes that she's more tiger than house cat.
Speech
Precise and clipped, looong and slow drawl, or rapid-fire New Englander; it all depends on how she's speaking at the time.
