Personality and Guardian Form
The eldest daughter of a wealthy family, popular Cornelia is a somewhat a materialistic person, who cared a lot about her looks and fashion. She is born on May 10, making her a Taurus. In the comic/books Cornelia was annoyed that Will is the leader and not her as she was better at leading than following, but she told Will that she will support her and that she deserved to be a leader. Cornelia is also overconfident and thinks that she can do just about anything by herself. Still, she is deep down a considerate person who can be very romantic. She is not always the most positive person, but manages to get through obstacles with an attitude. She is also very firm and stubborn, and the least likely of the Guardians to accept or believe something, as was shown the very first time that she became a Guardian.
In the comic, Cornelia is calm and normally friendly. In the television series, she is more childish and spoiled. She can be quite vain and sarcastic, caring more about fashion, beauty, her popularity, and her looks in contrast to her comic book self, so much to the point that she sometimes even insults others because of their fashion sense and/or appearance. She still has a good heart, showing this kinder streak several times, like during Hay Lin's brief breakdown towards the end of the second season, where she was the one who told Hay Lin that Yan Lin hadn't truly betrayed her, but was only fighting her because of Nerissa's brainwashing.
Cornelia loves ice skating (in the TV series Lillian states she has won many medals showing she is very good at ice skating) and hanging with her friends. She hates the fact that her parents spend more time with Lilian than with her.
Later on in the series, her mother tells her that her grandfather, whom she believed to be dead, is still alive.
When in her guardian form Cornelia grows taller and her hair longer. Like Irma she wears a long sleeved teal top but it doesn't have any swirls,a long purple skirt that falls to her ankles and has one split to near her waist, knee length purple boots and a sole swirl that hooks over her navel and a pair of pixie wings and the trademark turquoise and green guardian tights. Besides Will she is the only other guardian who wears knee high boots.
