Cordelia Chase | btvs/ats | 4/4knowmypurposeMarch 1 2011, 05:06:52 UTC
Abilities: Visions. The Powers That Be send Cordelia visions of those are suffering so she can help prevent the visions from happening. The visions cause her intense pain and are in fact slowly killing her. She also has fast reflexes from her time as a cheerleader and training in swordsmanship, crossbows, and several other forms of defense. Writing sample:
Cordelia takes a breath before thrusting forward, lunging with her sword. It isn’t hard to recall the moves Angel’s been teaching her. She never had to be shown a move more than once back in varsity cheerleading, and it isn’t any different now. It’s easier to practice on her own. As helpful as Angel’s knowledge was, what wasn’t helpful was his hesitance to teach her anything other than to protect herself.
Okay, so she knows he means well, but it’s still frustrating. She’s not a little scared cheerleader anymore. She wants to take care of herself. She stands up straight before starting up again, working her way across the room. Move, thrust, protect, stab. It’s pretty basic, and after years of watching Buffy and other people do this kind of stuff it’s easy enough to pick up on. Sure, her primary function was to still be vision girl, but it’d be nice to actual be able to have a more hands on role in things in the future.
It’s about thirty minutes into her training routine when she feels a sharp, painful throbbing in her head, along with flashes of images. A vision. Great. She drops her sword suddenly, crying out in pain as she stumbled on her feet. They were getting worse and worse lately, and this one was no exception. At least the others weren’t around to fret and worry about her. She leans against the wall, falling down to the ground as the vision finishes.
It takes her a few minutes to get herself back up again, but she manages it. She makes her way toward the offices to tell the others about what she saw. They have a new job to get to.
