Cordelia's character came to life on Buffy. She started out as a rich, selfish, shallow girl, who tried to make Buffy's life pretty miserable - in front of her snobby friends. In public, Cordelia said Buffy's little group were losers, but in private, Cordy and Xander somehow discovered they were physically attracted to each other (they hid it for a little while and played in secret!), but then they discovered there was more to it, that they really liked each other. Cordelia eventually had to admit to her crass, tacky, yet popular friends that yes, she did like Xander and that they were seeing each other. Wonderful buddies that they were, they promptly dumped her, and made her life as miserable as she had made Buffy's - poetic justice, although somewhat cruel. When Cordelia decided to move to LA, there were several reasons: her father had lost all his money, so they were now "poor"; she got injured, and that really gave her a scare; and Xander decided to kiss Willow right as Cordy and Oz came to save them from certain peril. While Oz forgave Willow, Cordelia couldn't forgive Xander, and felt betrayed. LA seemed to be a way to make a fresh, glamorous start - do a little acting, catch some rich guy's attention and be a rich, pampered, Hollywood trophy wife. Right? Wrong - she soon found out LA is full of girls just like her, and she wound up in a roach motel, going to parties to mooch food to survive; not a pleasant situation. She bumped into Angel, fresh from his departure from Sunnydale, and figured better to help him than to starve. She eventually received the "gift" of visions from Doyle, just before he died, and seems well on her way to actually being a caring human being - particularly after the first season finale, in which she was forced to see vision after vision of those in need of help and in pain. It almost drove her crazy, and made her better understand what she, and A.I. are up against. Cordy and Angel developed romantic feelings for each other in season 3, but just before the feelings were spoken aloud, Cordy was sort of angel-napped, by TPTB. She was returned at the beginning of S-4, but without her memory. She decided the only person she could trust is Connor, and the two actually had sex during one particularly apocalyptic-like episode, and Cordy is pregnant with Connor's child... or that's what we've seen. We've also seen Cordy isn't exactly the same person she used to be...in fact, there's a good chance she's not herself at all... Cordy gave birth to Jasmine, a godess-like being from another dimension, who was eventually destroyed, but Cordy was put into a coma at that time. She was put into a long-term care facility, and came back to help Angel, the last man she loved, one last time in S5. She left him, with a kiss. To Angel's horror, he learned Cordy had actually died that day, and her spirit was actually allowed by TPTB to come to his aid as a favor ~ one last, poignant time. |
