Cordelia Gallo (コルデリア•ギャロ Koruderia Gyaro) was an inhabitant of the Village of the Gray Wolves until the death of its elder Theodore about ten years ago. After her exile, she becomes the mistress to the Blois family and gives birth to Victorique, who would later clear her name from the allegations of the past.
Appearance
Like many of the inhabitants of the Village of the Gray Wolves, Cordelia possesses blond hair and green eyes. As a maid, she is ordered to arrange her hair into a bun on each side of her head. She later abandons the look when she is exiled from the village, and has been seen wearing a similar hairstyle as her daughter.
Peculiarly, she is small for women of her age, and usually wears dark-colored outfits, particularly a black-and-purple dress that she is usually seen dressed in.
Background
Cordelia has worked for the elder of the Village of the Gray Wolves for some time and, at the age of 15, was accused of murdering the current ruling elder Theodore. The verdict was swiftly given, and without any evidence that proves her innocent, Cordelia is sentenced to be exiled outside the village, with only a single gold coin and a briefcase of clothes to bring along.
She later becomes a dancer to earn a living, and in one of her many performances, she attracts the interest of Marquis Albert de Blois, who is interested in her bloodline. Albert later takes her in as his wife and a child was born: Victorique de Blois.
Cordelia looks back at the mansion after her successful escape.
However, Cordelia's past as a banished murderer has been exposed, and to escape from Albert's wrath, she escapes the Blois mansion. Although she manages to free herself with the help of a magician named Brian Roscoe, she has failed to retrieve her only daughter, who eventually lives her entire childhood at the mansion's highest tower.
The only thing Cordelia was able to do is give her a keepsake to symbolize her love for her daughter: a gold necklace with a pendant that contained her picture.
Plot
The Lady and the Magician
After her escape from the Blois mansion, Cordelia has joined Brian Roscoe in his travels as a professional magician, including a rare chance to visit the Village of the Gray Wolves. She even becomes part of his magic shows as the operator of a chess doll, hidden from plain sight while she amazes unsuspecting people.
The Night of Phantasmagoria
Cordelia traveling alongside Brian Roscoe is later discovered by Kazuya Kujo, who pursued her inside the Beelzebub's Skull after mistaking her for Victorique. Her current stand on Brian's actions is uncertain, but there are clues that point to Cordelia supporting Brian's actions.
Several minutes before the sinking of the Beelzebub's Skull, she stumbles upon Kazuya and gives him her ring, yet another reminder for Victorique that she loves her daughter.
Trivia
- Cordelia is 158 cm (5 foot 2), just one centimeter taller than her daughter Victorique.
