She was once a cheerleader. then she became a demon, then she became a goddess. Cordelia Chase has been all around and she still has much to give.
Origins
Cordelia Chase was born into a rich family. They lived in the town of Sunnydale, California. She is very popular and beautiful. Her best friend was Harmony Kendell. In her sophomore year she became friends with Buffy Summers, the new girl who transferred form Los Angeles. Buffy on the other hand couldn't stand her snobby behavior to other people. So she deiced to "leave" Cordelia and became friends with Willow, Xander, and the school Liberian Rupert Giles. Because Buffy "left" her she decied to make Buffy's life a living hell, to make her an outcast as much as possuble. Even though Buffy saved her life on more than one occasion.Xander
Cordiela began dating Xander Harris. They started their relationship when they were hiding in Buffy's basement from a demon who could turn into maggots. Though they dated each other they decided to keep it a secret. When her friends (the cordettes) found out about their relationship she couldn't hold out against the pressure and ended their relationship. Xander later used witchcraft(through Amy) to make her fall in love with him but instead it made every other girl in Sunnydale fall in love with him. Even to the point of almost beating Cordilea to death for dumping him. She later witnessed Xander and Willow kissing. While doing so she fell through the floor and was impaled with a bar. While in the hospital she broke up with Xander.
Angel and Angel Investigations
Though she was accepted to colleges like Columbia Unversity, she was unable to afford them. She moves to Los Angeles to become an actress. Meeting Angel(who she had met while still in sunnydale) She tells him that she is a rich and successful actress. When she is in fact almost penniless. After being rescued by Angel from a vampire attack she "charms" Angel into letting her become his partner in battling the forces of evil. She becomes a partner in Angel Investigation's Office manger. Though the season of the show she begins to have a love/annoy relationship with Doyle(who was part demon which she never knew until his death).
Doyle gave her the visions with a final kiss.
When Doyle died through a kiss he passed the "visions" on to her. The visions are messages from the powers that be.
Doyle gave her the visions with a kiss.
As the only link to the powers that be. Cordiela consider the visions the only reason for being. Because only demons are strong enough the visions were slowly killing her. Causing her brain damage. For months she begins to take powerful painkillers. Angel later found her CAT scan that showed her deteriorating brain tissues.
As the visions are powerful enough to kill a normal person they are only meant for "good" demons to use. Cordiela finds this out on her 21st birthday when a powerful vision sends her to the astral plane. There she is meant by a demon guide Skip. He later transforms her into a part demon. Now a part demon she n longer has intense pain when having the visions. Though there are side-effects, she finds them as part of her demon powers more than a bad thing. Unbeknowst to her teram the change makes it possible for her body to be used by the forces of evil. Her former guide Skip turns out to be an agent of evil. He makes Cordiela believe that she can do more work/good in a higher plane.
Goddess Cordelia/ return to the lower plane
For the three months that she is on the higher plane she is unable to communicate with anyone on Earth and as an effect she is bored. She finally returns but she has lost all memories. Now lost and confused she takes refuge with Angel's son Conner. During her time with him she feels lost and confused about now remembering her past. Conner offers to train her just as Angel did. Because she was a former cheerleader her athleticism and her "warriors heart" makes her a better than average fighter.
Her memories are finally brought back to her with a spell from Lorn. The spell also awakens the fallen power that hid inside her. The godly being known as Jasmine intertwined itself with every fiber of her being. Jasmine now in sub-conscious/conscious control makes Cordelia and Conner more close to each other to the point where they have sex. This gave Jasmine the "seed" she needed to escape and be born.
Death
After several months in the hospital Cordelia awoke from her coma. She was shocked to learn that Angel and the team were now in charge of Wolfram & Heart (just the L.A. branch). Angel told her that using the infinite resources of the company that they could do more good in a day than they would do in a year at the hotel. She doesn't agree she calls it a "deal with the devil". She later learns the the real reason that Angel became a part of Wolfram & heart was to have them erase his son's memories and have him lead a peaceful life with a normal family. Learning this she forgives him. She later tells Wesley that she is sorry for killing Lilah while under the control of Jasmine. He assures her that he doesn't hold her responsible. Angel and Cordelia shared one last kiss before he got a phone call telling him that she had died in her coma. It was reveled that The Powers That Be owed her and she used it to seem her friends one last time and to get Angel back on track.Powers and Skills
She was originally just a normal human, After having the visions passed to her she began having visions of evil. This was changed when she was transformed into a part-demon with the ability to resistant the harmful effects of the visions. Levitation and the power to become a bright golden/white light to purify the souls of those affected by evil (I.E. Conner) she had some control over this ability which she could use it as a nightlight.
