Cordelia Goode was born to parents Cornelius and Catelyn Goode. Her father was a soldier who promoted military careers in his sons Cornelius Jr. and Carter. Her mother ran a tailor in Suffonia, and it was often all the children would be with her for her daily work. Stitching, fabrics, seams are things that Cordelia learned very well at a young age. Catelyn had come from Helena, her parents had lived in the Haense Kingdom. Cornelius was born and raised in Suffonia and he was very fond of it. Cordelia’s childhood was spent with her brothers Cornelius and Carter. But those two often played with wood swords, and as Cordelia was a girl she was not allowed to play. She found friendship of the girls from the commons. There fathers being minor merchants and tradesmen. One in particular, Molly was her best friend. As soon as the girls were 10 they would travel to the nearby meadows anytime they could. Collect beautiful flowers, sometimes even seeing a fox or deer wondering in the thickets. Mrs. Goode even fancied that Molly would marry Carter. There family being fish mongers, honorable people like the Goodes. But it was in a time of illness that Molly would die from dysentery. Her favorite brother, Carter dying around the same time. Not two years after this, Cornelius would go and join the military. Leaving just Cordelia and her mother. At 14, Cordelia felt so lost. The tailor wasn’t doing well so she spent much of her time helping her mother. She felt trapped, they seemed to be on a downhill spiral to losing the business, and they hadn’t heard from her father in two years. When they finally lost the business she felt like she could breathe again. The loss of the business however caused her mother to be extremely depressed. Cordelia wanted to be there for her mother but they were in trouble. She needed to make money for the both of them to survive. If she would just sulk like her mother it would be no help, she would just be sad herself. She forced her mother to find work in a once rivaled tailor, and there she made enough money to a school for etiquette. So that she could find work in child-care or in a fancy household one day. When she was 17, she finished her education. Then she met Mance Snyder, son of one of her fathers old comrades, the two sparked up a romance. She had never loved someone as much as she loved him. It happened so quickly, but the attraction was mania. When she was 18 he proposed to her before being stationed elsewhere. Eventually Cordelia, became tired of waiting for him. So she found a job in the city as a nanny. And took care of the children for the majority of the day. It was recently that she became fired as the family moved away. Now Cordelia is looking for her place in Suffonia, needing a new job and a need home.
