Cordelia
Originally a 1,120-year-old vengeance demon who lost her
Deleted line(s) 842,964 (click to see context) :
* ActionGirl: Becomes an effective one in ''Angel''. In ''Buffy'', she is not one, leaning more towards ActionSurvivor.
* AlliterativeName: Charisma Carpenter plays Cordelia Chase.
* AllWomenLoveShoes: Her passion for footwear is noted on several occasions.
* AlphaBitch: Was definitely this while at Sunnydale during the first season. She eventually became the LovableAlphaBitch.
* AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: Cordelia ascends to becomes a Power That Be, but was only chosen for the job because she had proved that the power wouldn't go to her head, and not once does she call herself a god. However, she is promptly fired when she uses her [[DeusExMachina powers to help the gang]]. It's worth noting that all of this may have been a plot orchestrated by the season's big bad.
-->''Skip:''' Cordelia was chosen to become a higher being because she's such a pure, radiant saint. (scoffs) [[DidYouActuallyBelieve PLEASE!]]
* BackForTheDead [[spoiler: In her Season Five appearance.]]
* BackhandedCompliment: Any time Cordy tries to be relatively nice, this is the result.
* BadBadActing: Enough to make Angel nostalgic for Hell.
** She's often shown as being a fairly poor actress but, strangely, an excellent liar; capable of fooling even Angelus.
** Later Cordelia evolves into a capable actress; unfortunately, her read-throughs are invariably spoiled by a vision.
* BadLiar: It's just as well that Cordy doesn't sugarcoat the truth, because she can't lie to save her life. The one exception is "Homecoming", when she convinced a vampire she was Faith the Vampire Slayer.
* BlessedWithSuck: The visions which show people in trouble at the cost of extreme migraines that [[spoiler:will eventually kill her]].
* TheBrainlessBeauty: Was originally led to be this, but then she showed HiddenDepths. It was {{Lampshaded}} early in Season 3 when discussing the SAT:
--> "Actually, I'm looking forward to it. I do well on standardized tests." ({{beat}}) "What? I can't have layers?"
%%* BreakTheHaughty: A process that began on ''[=BtVS=]'', and continues from there.
* BrutalHonesty: "Tact is just not saying true stuff. I'll pass."
* BullyingADragon: Throughout the first season, she took every possible opportunity to pick on and insult Buffy despite full knowledge that she burned her last high school's gym down.
* ButtMonkey
-->'''Cordelia:''' Why are these terrible things always happening to me?\\
'''Xander:''' [[CoughSnarkCough *cough* Karma! *cough*]]
* CastFromLifespan: After she took on Doyle's visions. Humans aren't strong enough to handle the visions, and they began to cause her extensive brain damage to the extent that she chose to become a half-demon to survive and keep them.
* CharacterDevelopment: Between the two series she goes from a shallow AlphaBitch to someone who can realistically be said to be deserving of becoming one of ThePowersThatBe ([[spoiler: GambitRoulette by Jasmine or not, she's proven herself time and time again]]) and it happened so gradually no one really noticed.
%%* TheCheerleader
%%* TheChick
* ClosetGeek: While working for Angel, she often made [[ShoutOut references]] to StarWars and StarTrek. This could qualify as HiddenDepths, considering her treatment of outspoken nerds in high school.
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: All too often, someone will make a remark and Cordelia will agree in some shallow, appearance-related fashion.
-->'''Xander:''' You're talking about messing with powerful magic, and you're weak.\\
'''Willow:''' I'm okay.\\
'''Xander:''' You don't ''look'' okay. ''(to Cordelia)'' Does she?\\
'''Cordelia:''' You should listen to him. The hair, it's so flat.
* CommutingOnABus: She stops regularly appearing from season 3, episode 14 of Angel to her final episode in season 5. First she's on vacation with Groo, then she becomes a higher power, then she spends most of a season controlled by Jasmine until she gives "birth" to her, and then remains in a coma [[spoiler:until she passes before the end of the series.]]
%%* TheConsigliere: To Angel in the spinoff.
%%* DamselInDistress:
%%* DeadpanSnarker
%%* TheDragAlong
%%* DefrostingIceQueen: Towards Xander and Doyle on their respective shows.
* TheEponymousShow: ''Cordy!'', her sitcom in the Skipverse. Also an InJoke at Charisma Carpenter's resemblance to [[TheMaryTylerMooreShow Mary Tyler Moore]].
* EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses: She ascends the throne of Pylea within 48 hours. "Off with their heads", indeed.
* TheFace: Played with. She's the secretary for Angel's detective biz but she can't even use the phone properly. On the other hand, she's the only link to [[ThePowersThatBe the people he really needs to be in touch with.]]
%%* FallenPrincess
* FaintingSeer: Her visions are something akin to "having my skull cracked open and hot lava poured in." In fact, she's probably better described as a Shrieking, Twitching, Convulsing And ''Then'' Fainting Seer.
%%* TheFashionista
* FeminineWomenCanCook: InvertedTrope. Her brownies could qualify as nuclear waste.
* FindingJudas [[spoiler: Unwittingly became Jasmine's corporeal agent on the Earth, gradually losing her entire personality in the process. It was so subtle that no one in Angel Investigations noticed until she was too forgone to save.]]
* GangOfBullies / GirlPosse: The Cordettes. Angel would later liken them to the {{KGB}}, but with nicer shoes. Cordelia's "friends" give her a taste of her own medicine when she starts to date Xander.
* GirlFriday: Though initially confined to the office, Cordelia becomes more proactive in cases after receiving the visions, which are often vague and require her to examine clues to make sense of it.
* GlobalIgnorance: "Oh, yesterday your cousin called, with one of those names from your part of England."
-->'''Doyle''': ... My part of '''[[BerserkButton England]]'''?
* GoldDigger:
** Thwarted by Doyle's gallantry, which starts making her dating pool look rather pathetic. Her date (a stock broker) cannonballs into his Beamer and races off at first sight of a vamp without the slightest hesitation in leaving Cordie behind to be eaten.
-->"All I could think about was: if this wimp ever saw a monster he'd probably throw a shoe at it and run like a weasel! Turns out the shoe part was [[InsultToRocks giving him too much credit]]."
** Cordelia contemplates marrying incredibly rich and lonely geek David Nabbit, but accepts that even she has limits.
* GoodIsNotNice: Not quite as tactless and rude as she was in her ''[[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer Buffy]]'' debut, but she can still be very sharp-tongued.
* TheHeart: Increasingly so as time passes, especially after the first-season finale "To Shanshu in L.A." Fred calls her this at one point.
* HeroicFatigue: As a human, Cordelia was not meant to shoulder the responsibility of Doyle's visions ("a big [[TheGodsMustBeLazy cosmic whoops]]", as Skip calls it). She secretly takes powerful painkillers and undergoes CAT scans that indicate [[spoiler:the slow deterioration of her brain]]. Yet when presented with the opportunity to pass her visions onto someone else (the gallant Groosalugg, and later Angel in an alternate reality), Cordelia refuses, stating that the visions [[IAmWhatIAm are a part of her and make her who she is]].
%%* HiddenDepths
* HolyBacklight: Whilst twiddling her thumbs in the afterlife.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Two examples while working with Angel:
** When Harmony comes to town, Cordelia continues to trust her and demand that her friends give her a fair chance even after discovering she is a vampire, dismissing Angel's warnings that vampires are AlwaysChaoticEvil and can't be trusted. He's proven right when she sides with the vampire cult she was supposed to be helping A.I. investigate.
** Then, when Darla shows up pregnant with Angel's child, Cordelia readily defends her from Angel and tries to keep her comfortable, which comes back to bite her (literally) when Darla attacks her. After Angel [[BigDamnHeroes comes in and saves her]], Cordelia [[LampshadeHanging even acknowledges]] that she blew it.
* ImportantHaircut: Several. The most notable one is her [[DyeingForYourArt blonde makeover]], which remains even after her return from the afterlife (possibly a CallBack to Buffy's return from heaven on ''[=BtVS=]'') -- soon to darken back to its original color when [[spoiler:Jasmine possesses her.]]
* IntimateMarks: She has a tattoo on her back, right directly above her rear. It's the actress's real tattoo, but we've seen it onscreen on the shows a few times.
%%* JerkWithAHeartOfGold
* LadyOfWar: Following a few lessons in swordsmanship by Angel.
%%* LawOfInverseFertility:
%%* LikeBrotherAndSister: With Wesley.
* LivingBodysuit: Revealed in Season 4 to be [[spoiler:acting under the control of Jasmine]].
%%* LovableAlphaBitch: The season one finale and onward see her becoming one.
* MandatoryLine: Most of the time her role in Season One was just to appear, act bitchy, then leave.
* MeanCharacterNiceActor: Charisma Carpenter is noted for her many outreaches to fans, most prominent of which is that, unlike most of her co-stars, she absolutely refuses to charge for an autograph at any convention she attends.
* TheMole [[spoiler: In Season 4 of ''Angel''.]]
* MoneyFetish:
** She can ''smell'' money. "Hide some in the office sometime, and watch her. It's uncanny."
** She feels herself getting warm by a software geek peddling financial advice.
* MoralityChain: A peek into an alternate timeline shows what would happen to Angel if he didn't have Cordy around. He ''[[DespairEventHorizon goes insane]]''.
%%* MsFanservice
* NoBadassToHisValet: The only person Angel can't intimidate.
%%* PreppyName
* PutOnABus: To L.A.! She then gets put on a bus several times over the course of ''Angel''.
%%* ResignedToTheCall
%%* RichBitch
* RichesToRags: When her father loses all his money to the IRS.
* RomanticFalseLead: Angel immediately ends up in her crosshairs. Luckily, Angel later confesses that he always found the noblewomen of his era (for whom Cordelia is the modern avatar) to be a horrific bore.
%%* SamaritanSyndrome
%%* SarcasticDevotee
%%* ScreamingWoman:
* SecondLove: Ironic, since Angel used to find the noblewomen of his era (of whom Cordelia is a modern avatar) to be a horrific bore but Cordelia immediately had a crush on him on ''Buffy'' so it's keeping in continuity.
* SecretlyDying: [[spoiler: Since the visions were intended for demons, they begin to physically damage her brain. Skip circumvents this by turning her half-demon.]]
%%* ShipTease: With Wesley
%%* SitcomArchnemesis -
* SkewedPriorities: Though they become less skewed over the years.
* TeamMom: Lampshaded once a baby enters the picture.
* TheThingThatWouldNotLeave: Cordelia in "Rm w/a Vu". Within a few hours, Angel's basement is covered wall-to-wall with Cordelia's trophies, there's peanut butter on his bed, his leather chair is ruined, and Cordelia is busily cutting up his linoleum floor to examine the hardwood.
* ThoseTwoGuys: Usually ends up as Giles's research partner while Buffy, Xander, Willow, and Oz are out on patrol. HilarityEnsues.
* [[ThresholdGuardians Threshold Guardian]]: Provides an example of a non-adversarial Threshold Guardian; when she invites Buffy to join the popular girls' clique, she forces Buffy to choose between her calling as the Slayer and her desire to be a popular girl.
* TookALevelInKindness: Zig Zagged in Season Three when Xander cheats on her, effectively ousting her from the Gang. Cordelia attempts to return to her old ways, but Harmony has usurped her position and shut the door. Cordelia returns to aid the Scoobies in the Season Three Finale. Her move to ''Angel'' cements her growth as a caring person.
* TookALevelInSmartass: While the penultimate episode of the first season revealed Cordelia wasn't quite the airhead she seemed, she still seemed of relatively average intelligence. It was only in season three that she was offically established (or retconned) as being very bright (see the quote under BrainlessBeauty above.)
%%* TrashOfTheTitans: Her first apartment.
* TryToFitThatOnABusinessCard: The Venerable Monarch of Pylea, General of the Ravenous Legions, Eater of Our Enemy's Flesh, Prelate of the Sacrificial Blood Rites, and Sovereign Proconsul of Death.
* UptownGirl: She kept her torrid love affair with Xander secret out of fear of what her peers would think.
* UltimateJobSecurity: You can't fire her. She's Vision Girl. *sticks out tongue*. Angel is rudely awakened to this fact after he ''does'' fire her.
-->'''Angel:''' Well, I know she can't type or file. Until today, I had some hope regarding the phone.
%%* TheVamp: [[spoiler:While under Jasmine's control]], Cordy
* VanityLicensePlate: Cordelia's car has "QUEEN C" for its plates.

* WeaknessTurnsHerOn: The possibility of intimacy with Angel doesn't comes up until Cordelia glimpses a world in which she never joined the agency. This resulted in Angel inheriting Doyle's visions instead, causing him to go mad.
* WeirdnessMagnet: Possibly caught the condition living in Sunnydale.
* WomanInBlack: While under [[spoiler:Jasmine's control]].
* WomanInWhite: After ascendeding.
* WomenPreferStrongMen: Hanging around Angel and Doyle has ruined her for preening, rich day trader types. (No comment on [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg Wesley.]])
