She deserved his kindness. Kori deserved it most. Without it, well, that would be like a road trip with no understanding of overhead signs of exits and entries. This voluptuous fish out of water wouldn’t survive more than a day on her own in this world, and even twenty-four hours of restlessness would tucker her out quicker than it would a Gotham General night nurse.“Mhm,”he hummed against her lips, agreeing with her words and returning the gesture.“Good thing you’ve got some spice to match my sweetness. Then again, you’re as sweet as a sugar-filled piñata.”
❛ sugar & spice && everything nice ❜ kori chimed, repeating a phrase that she had heard somewhere earlier that day. she granted him ONE LAST KISS before pulling away, sure that they would spend the day wrapped up in each other and miss the SAINT VALENTINE’S DAY FESTIVITIES if they didn’t stop ( and they most definitely would not if one of them didn’t break away ) ❛ we cannot allow the house to burn down, not with us inside of it ❜
“Oh, you didn’t have to…”It looked much akin to a Valentine’s closing festivity. Like a restaurant that serves perfect backdrop to a tight-knit couple’s dinner. This wasn’t necessary at all. But it was too pleasing to avoid.“You’re beautiful, Kori,”he said, watching her emerald hues light up as the room went to partial dusk.
even if richard and her had been together for what seemed like a long time now, it still filled her with an almost childlike sort of glee to HEAR HIS KIND WORDS. everyday with him was like the first ❛ and you are very sweet ❜ she responded, offering a wide smile. she TOOK A STEP CLOSER to him and pulled him into a kiss ❛ i love you ❜
“I think you’re dressed well enough for a lazy date. But, you call dibs on anything of more glamour next year.”He wouldn’t stop her if she wanted to liven up the place, though. Kori loved dress-up, about as much as she did relieving herself of any garments at nightfall. The moment of sweet vulnerability, of freedom to be carefree in the comfort of one’s home, or that of a dear friend or lover… he knew for her, it made a world of difference when she had a partner.
her eyes surveyed the room for a moment, taking it in through her green lenses. she did not have a long time to set up an the APPROPRIATE ATMOSPHERE but even a little change could go a long way ❛ hold on ❜ she promised, flying to the pantry as quickly as she could and DIGGING OUT A BOX of scented candles she had ‘ impulse bought ’ months ago. not bothering on matches, she lit them with her starbolts and then set them around various areas of the house, SHUTTING OFF THE LIGHTS on her way out ❛ this is much better, very romantic ❜
she wasn’t quite sure what had happened to turn richard so sullen, although she suspected that it may have been THE RESULT OF A SOUR MISSION. whatever the reason, she was concerned. he seemed so sad and she didn’t know why or how to fix it but she knew she HAD TO TRY she took a seat next to him and nudged him with her elbow, offering what she hoped was an infectious grin ❛ so, i have many, many movies laid out for us, a batch of cupcakes cooking, and i am wearing the shortest dress i could find ❜ she offered, PECKING HIS CHEEK QUICKLY❛ does any of this give you incentive to leave your bedroom ?? ❜
for the longest time she had been positive that no earth-bourne alcohol could get her drunk. she’d tried it all: VODKA, WHISKEY, BOURBON, RUM and nothing had worked but one too many sips of beer had gotten her past the point of no return. she stumbled under richard’s guiding arm, feeling so transparent and giddy all at once ❛ do you know❜ she began, TAKING A MOMENT to steady herself ❛ that, sometimes, when we fight, i actually contemplate calling you dick?? that is right, i know what it means ! and i am nice enough to ignore that urge ! you are, ahh ❜ she pauses a minute, growing drastically paler ❛ i may require you to hold my hair ❜
kori had a penchant for THE NIGHT SKY. she could lose herself in the endless constellations and galaxies floating above earth but she could appreciate the morning sunrise, especially in the arms of her new ( and possibly first? ) boyfriend. they had only DEFINED THEIR RELATIONSHIP the previous night and she knew that they would probably hear about it from the titans for the rest of the week once they told them. the thought of the upcoming days had her fighting the urge to let out a sigh, however, it all went away when she turned her head to glance at him, commiting his features and the way he gazed out at the horizon to memory. who knew WHAT OR WHO they would be facing in the upcoming days ? she certainly didn’t but, it occurred to her as she watched him watch the sunrise, she didn’t quite mind. anything was worth him.
[ 1:45 : ginger space gal ] second thought, leave the cooker at home. [ 1:48 : ginger space gal ] tho, I *do* have a generator [ 1:52 : ginger space gal ] NAH, I’ll buy some firewood. not a chance we’ll get good limbs close enough to the hill, especially after this morning’s showers.
[ 1:57 : totally not nightwing ] so you want me to grab the laptop, warm blankets, trail mix, champagne, marsh-mellows, hersheys, and grahm crackers? but not the cooker? [ 1:58 : totally not nightwing ] i’m going to bring some matches and lint to start the fire as well! although i can always throw a starbolt at it if it’s difficult to start
[1:30 : ginger space gal] should I get a telescope? [1:32 : ginger space gal] grab all the best blankets, the trail mix, my plugin cooker, my laptop, marshmallows, Hersheys, and graham crackers [1:34 : ginger space gal] oh. and the wine. just don’t open it til we’re there.
[ 1:35 : totally not nightwing ] hmm … yes, if you can get a telescope that would be wonderous! [ 1:39 : totally not nightwing ] i do not think we have wine 😞😞 but i did find champagne!!
“Lingerie is a good Valentine’s evening night cap,”he said, brow raising with an expectant look on his face. Only because she mentioned‘lingerie,’as if it was an extravagant Valentine chic number. It probably was, too.“Your reaction is even more adorable. So, I have chicken eggplant parm in the oven, grocery store wine chilling, and you’re already wearing the guiltiest of pleasures to partake in later. We’re all set, and you’ve got St. Valentine’s down to a science!Hooray, right?”
❛ hooray!!! ❜ kori exclaimed, a wide smile gradually making it’s way across her face. she was still more than a little confused about the day of saint valentine and it’s exact intent but she felt a LITTLE MORE CONFIDENT in it now. it was not a celebration of sex, as she’d initially suspected, but rather a celebration of love. what a beautiful thing to celebrate, she thought to herself before voicing, ❛ i need five minutes to change into this dress that i believe is just right for this occasion and then we can begin?! ❜
1. This kind of goes without saying but don't godmod. 2. Mun does not equal muse. Kori and I are two very different people. Similarly, what happens between our muses is not what's going on between the muns. If our muses are dating, I am not committed to you. If our muses are fighting, I am not angry with you. This might sound unnessecary but I've run into some pretty awkward situations with this before and I'd really rather not deal with it again. Please seperate mun and muse. 3. If you want to rp with me, send me a message, send me a meme, throw a random starter my way. I love them and I will actually be so happy if you do. 4. To keep my dashboard clear, I am selective and private. If you use 100x100 icons and small text, you'll be fine. Private means that I won't rp with mutuals. Sometimes though (usually memes), I'll specify whether it's open to mutuals and nonmutuals but that's very rarely. 5. I am open to having exclusives but I do have some rules about this. I won't go exclusive with anyone in the DC Fandom (be it DCAU, DCEU, PN52, N52, Rebirth), anyone else is game. I do ask that I know the mun fairly well ooc. I am currently exclusive with caducxus 6. I won't tolerate any bullying. At all. 7. All icons are made by me. Please don't steal them because I will find out and I will message you about it. 8. Skype and discord are avaliable to mutuals. 9. I'm 18+ so NSFW will happen. Smut will only happen if I'm comfortable with the mun and if it makes sense (i.e. the situation leads up to it). 10. I have a bunch of verses (definitely check out my verses page!) but my default verse will be new 52. Unless we specify that our thread or interaction will be taking place in another verse (or if you're character is exclusive to only the DCAU, DCEU, etc), it will be set in the new 52 one. 11. I will goof up. I will forget that something happened or mention something before the New 52, just tell me nicely and I'll change it. 12. Have fun and stay positive! Good vibes only, friends.
Koriand’r was born on Tamaran,a peaceful planet of former warriors to the ruling king and queen. Her older sister, Komand’r was set to become queen of Tamaran, a fact that both sister’s never really contemplated very much.
Kori was happy on Tamaran. It was a planet full of peace and, seeing as she wasn’t the heir, she had a lot of freedom (Freedom that she definitely took advantage of). She was close to her family, particularly so to her older sister. Life was good on her home planet but then the Citadel, another race of aliens, stuck.
Her once beautiful, peaceful planet was riddled with invaders. Everything changed. Her sister became a figurehead, someone for the Citadel to hide behind. They forced Komand’r into an early position of queen and forced her to exile her little sister but not before the Citadel took advantage of the spare heir and did awful experiments on her.
Upon her banishment, Koriand'r was taken to a war camp called Takron. For the first time in her life, she was full of hatred and anger for what had happened to her but she took that rage, took that fury and chanelled it which manifested in a few extraordinary abilities.
While Kori possessed the gift of flight and energy absorbtion, like all Tamaraneans, her abilities moved beyond the typical capacity of her people. Due to a combination of the experiments and her anger at the situation, she was suddenly able to shoot rays of light from her hands that burned anything she shot them at beyond recognition. She knew that these powers existed but avoided using them since she knew very little about them or how to control them.
Unfortunately, however, her abilities became apparent to the Takronians after an incident. A guard was attempting to give Kori a gift and the encounter went astray. Kori went on defensive and attacked the guard in a very public, loud, and attentive display. She killed the guard and before the blood had time to dry, the commanders had come for her.
The experiments started again but this time, they were worse than before and continued on until slavers came to find her. A former princess sold for a very, very high price, and she was captured. However, she didn’t stay a slave for long.
Knowing that she possessed new capabilities, she broke free and killed the commander of the slaver’s ship. Freeing herself and the other slaves on board. Sometime around then, the ship crash landed and the alien princess found herself on an island within a strange planet called earth.
It didn’t take long for her to get off of the island and start meeting people, the first of which being Dick Grayson. She joined the Titans quickly afterwards and developed a romantic relationship with Dick Grayson.
After the two broke it off, she took some time off and traveled back to the site of the ship crash. It was there that Jason Todd and Roy Harper found her. The three of them joined up to become The Outlaws.
While with the Outlaws, she started a romantic relationship with Roy Harper although they had to break up when duty called for Kori to return to Tamaran. The Citadel had gone too far and her sister needed help.
She spent a few years on Tamaran and returning to her home made her a much happier person. Once her sister was okay, Kori returned to Earth, landing in Key West, where she had to readjust to Earthen customs after a few years away.
Koriand'r was born in Tamaran to the queen and king of the planet. She was their second daughter although Koriand'r was acknowledged as the successor to the throne by the people since her older sister, Komand'r was ailed with an illness that prevented her from being able to fly. The princess was relatively happy until her planet was invaded by enemy aliens and she was sold as a slave by her older sister. She remained in slavery for several years before her ship crashlanded on Earth and she was set free. Soon after that she joined the Teen Titans and devoted herself to protecting this new planet.

“ Human Verse ”
Koriand'r was born in Tamaran, an island off the coast of Spain. She was born into the royal family and was content with her life there until a group of Anti-Royalists, the Citadel, rebelled and took over the Tamaran. Their rebellion quickly spiraled into violence and the young Koriand’r, along with her sister, Komand’r, had to watch as their parents, along with everything they’d ever known, was destroyed. Unknown to Kori, her sister, in tandem with her parent’s advisors, had come up with a plan to get the two princesses out and to a country that had once seemed so far away: America.
Something went wrong though, someone leaked the information, and on their flight to the States, the two princesses were intercepted by the Citadel. They took Komand’r, on account of the fact that she was the royal heir and an important figurehead, but sold Koriand’r to a group of human traffickers, who paid a hefty sum for the princess.
She remained a slave for another rough five years before the hideout she had been stored in was discovered by the UN. It was only then that she was taken to America where she found out about Tamaran’s deteriorating state. The country had become a dictatorship and was holding her older sister hostage, a means of keeping the UN out.
It was what she had to do: Save her country. Taking advice from a close friend, she studied hard and caught up with her curriculum in a solid year and a half. She enrolled in Georgetown and is an international relations major with a minor in history. Right after college, she applied to work with the United Nations and, even though she’s just starting out, wants to eventually free her country and work to put human trafficking to an end.
