Cori (she didn't have a name at this time, often just being referred to as an identifier, either in the army or by Kamabo employees) was raised to be an elite soldier from birth, she cannot remember her parents, she has been training as soon as she can recall.

Due to this intensive training, however, she has found herself unable to integrate into inkling society, unable to learn the language nor figure their lifestyles out, she's been forced to steal from people, something that she deeply regrets and that weighs heavy on her conscience.

Cori knew of inkopolis square through the magazine she carries with her, which lead to her trying to meet people there, albeit unsuccessfully.

Her abandonment of the army was discovered by one of her then-friends as she was trying to leave, After a confrontation, they gave Cori a chance to escape before they reported her desertion, storming back inside the crater.
This experience has tormented Cori, she feels she's let people down as a result of this and she worries she made the wrong decision with how badly everything's been going for her, yet she has nowhere else to turn, which is what leads her to Kamabo's facilities...

Appearance

Her tentacles are a black>brown>orange gradient, with the colour only being visible at the tips of her tentacles, much like other elite soldiers.
Unlike other elite soldiers, she doesn't have any kelp in her hair, she deserted before recieving it.
She has the tentacurl hairstyle at a regular length, unlike her present self.

She has dark red eyes and often wears a pair of cephalo pods, listening to music from whatever she can tune into, though she's unable to find a signal while in the metro, so her headphones don't work there.

She wears the Neo octoling armour and boots, there is an octopus trinket clipped to her belt that she bought while a part of octarian society to match with someone, she keeps it there as a sort of good luck charm, and she hopes that one day they might forgive her.
