• Shoes: Boots when on duty, sandals or barefoot when off.
• Voice: Even and soft when in a counselling session. When serious, her voice is strict and sharp, a 'Mom Voice' as her brother calls it. When she's having fun or just relaxed, it's a bit hyper and high pitched with a laugh behind it.

Personality

---

She is quite honest, due to her upbringing, and will talk on and on without stopping if someone allows her to.Her favorite color is any shade of pink or red, and although she says this is for reasons unknown, she has always found excitement in vibrant colors rather than dark ones.

When stressed, she tends to hide away in her room, eating ice cream or some assortment of sweet while watching really old shows.

• Quarters: She is, surprisingly....messy in a way. 'Organized Chaos' she calls it. When she gets in a new room, like her old dorm at the Academy, she slowly adds new items every day. She sometimes has papers scattered, or in a drawer, old flowers in a vase from her mother, a card her brother wrote to her sitting near the computer. The only thing 'neatly' put up are her wigs, carefully situated on each 'head' or folded away to ensure they're perfect.

• Mannerisms: She's quite kind and 'innocent'. She likes to bond with others and will 'mold' her personality to them. Someone who thrives on conversation and extroverted activities she will be loud, joking, and playful. Someone who is quiet and soft, she will be quiet, speaking in soft words and a soft smile. This can lead to some people having a view on her far different compared to others.
• Religion/Spiritual Devotion: She is questionable, but believes in fate, destiny, and that things will work out in the end.
• Hobbies and Pastimes: She adores flowers and plants, having helped her mother out in the garden in her youth. She has a small interest in Medical, but only so far as to know first aid. She loves to crochet or knit, finding a thrill in the slow movements.
• Likes: Sweets, pink things, happiness, certain animals.
• Dislikes: Sour/bitter things, the color white makes her nauseous, a sudden 'shock' as in if she scrapes her hand or someone gets cut, she'll remain calm, however if all of a sudden someone gets injured and there's a huge wound, or she ends up with a wound that's 'open' (requires stitches), she'll have a panic attack.
• Ambitions and Goals: She just wants to help others out! Plus, she really loves learning about everyone's interests and pasts.
• Temperament: Easy, gentle, only gets angry when feeling ill or has a headache.
• Mental problems (complexes and phobias):
  • Fear of not knowing: She's very calm, most of the time. However, she has this one fear of openness. If she is in a place with wide windows, she will need to close all the curtains or she won't be able to relax. She has a slight bit of paranoia. There is no reason behind it, not even she knows why.
  • Blood/sudden wounds: A small papercut or someone bleeding does not affect her, however, if someone is shot or someone's nose is broken or she has cut herself accidentally, she will experience a panic attack, although in the moment she will remain calm as possible.
  • Makes light of serious situations if it concerns her, will avoid any concern over her and instead focus on someone else.
• Physical Limitations: She can run for about ten minutes before slowing and getting out of breath.

Family

Name	Status	Description
Dixin Fortune	Father	Born 233512.15, age 60. A Betazoid male, bachelor name Dixin Rilasi. He owns a greenhouse and has spent his life growing his creations and creating new and amazing flowers and plants. He loves to cross-pollinate, always eager to see them come alive. He met Corin in school, and they quickly became close and the rest is history. Dixin wears glasses that never show his eyes, and if asked, will continue on as if he never heard the question. His hair is dyed...or is it?
Corin Fortune	Mother	Born 233911.13, age 56. A Betazoid female, Corin is a Counselor to children and teenagers of adults within Starfleet. She sees her work as vitally important, especially considering that the new generation would eventually fill their parents' shoes. Corin can be seen as bemused at others' antics, to the point that others may feel offended that she might be...'diagnosing' them. She is the Matriarch of the Fortune Family, a once generous and extended line that was cut short during the Dominion War. She does not speak of the scar on her face, but instead, will lead the question somewhere else with an odd expression.
Brommel Fortune	Brother	Born 236607.13 age 29. A Ranger devoted to his career, Brommel is Corliss' dear brother. As a child he jokingly told her he was her 'boss' and to always call him that. Now that they were older, she would call him 'Boss' with a laugh and he would be flustered. Brommel takes everything seriously, even to the point of being exasperated with his slightly childish sister at times. He is fiercely protective however, and will not stand for others 'being rude' to his sister. Engaged to Ravenna Carter. Has a serious love of plants and has inherited his father’s ability to make and identify hybrid plants.

Friends

Mek	Friends	Mek is the manager and bartender of the USS Gorkon's Sto'Vo'Kor lounge. After an evening of painting a mural for his lounge and listening to his accordion music, Corliss is left feeling...different. After a day in the holosuite, they've both agreed that there won't be anything to come of it, and have come away as friends instead.

Relationships

Loxley	Definitely Dating	Loxley and Corliss were close within the 'dream realm'. Wigs and Staples had started to have blooming feelings for one another, until their prime selves were awakened into the 'real' world.

She finds him easy to talk to and amusing to tease.

As usual.
