[edit] Personality
The eldest daughter of a high-class family, Cornelia is somewhat a materialistic person, who cares a lot about her looks and fashion. Cornelia is also overconfident and thinks she can do just about anything by herself. Still she is deep down a considerate person who can be very romantic. She is not always the most positive person, but manages to get through obstacles with an attitude. She is also very firm and stubborn, and the least likely of the Guardians to accept or believe something, as was shown the very time that she became a Guardian.
In the comic, Cornelia is calm and normally friendly. In the television show she's more of a spoiled child; she can be quite vain and sarcastic, caring more about fashion, beauty, "coolness", and her looks much more than her comic book self does, so much to the point that she sometimes even insults them because of their fashion and appearance. She still has a good heart, showing this kinder streak several times, like during Hay Lin's brief breakdown towards the end of the second season.
[edit] Relationships
Before being friends with and apart of W.I.T.C.H. Cornelia was best friends with Elyon Brown first and friends with also Hay Lin and Irma. When Will and Taranee came to town she was open to them being part of the group, but through trials of the Guardians and friendship, she proved that she had become best friends with Will and the others, without alienating Elyon, even though she sometimes was left out. Cornelia isn't flirty, as her romantic feelings are firmly set on Caleb.
In the cartoon, Cornelia's sister Lillian is the Heart of Earth, and had powers like Elyon's, but didn't know it. To keep her safe until she could use her powers properly, Cornelia tricked her into handing her powers to their cat Napoleon, Matt Olsen and Will's dormouse Mr. Huggles. It is also revealed that it is because of this relationship that she was chosen as the Guardian of Earth, so she could guide her sister to use her powers wisely.Also in the carton her feelings for caleb [who on the tv is a human hottie] are bigger than in the comic and they may argue but they are a devoted couple.
[edit] Powers
Cornelia can control Earth. Earth Guardians are Geokinetic and Chlorokinetic. They can manipulate the Earth, and control the growth of plants. Before falling under Nerissa's spell, Kadma taught Cornelia a skill called "Green Speaking", where an Earth Guardian can communicate with vegetation. Cornelia has the ability of Telekinesis, allowing them to move objects with the power of her mind. Cornelia has also shown the ability to change to guardian size but without the clothes change, growth of wings, or increased power.
[edit] Elemental Abilities
Cornelia Hale is the Guardian of Earth. In the TV Show, at first she thought her powers were lame (and not real) because she could only grow plants, but she quickly discovered her powers were much more important than that, and learned how to create earthquakes, and control stone, wood and ground. In the comic book, Cornelia thinks her abilities are much more impressive than the other Guardians and shows them off.
Cornelia can also get visions from the earth and from plants and talk to them. She can also create and teleport things that come directly from earth, like flowers and vegetables.
[edit] Advanced Element Abilities
In the comic book, Cornelia discovered at home that she was telekinetic, and could move objects with her mind. She has a minor control over the sense of hearing, by making others emit the sounds of animals when calling them the animal's name, like she did with Lilian to express her annoyance with her, calling her "a little toad" and making Lilian croak. In the TV series, she received her telekinesis power in the second season. If she combines her powers with Elyon, she can create openings in the Veil erected by Kandrakar, also a tremendous earthquake in both Earth and Meridian.
[edit] Trivia
- Cornelia can't swim, and seems to be hydrophobic. Unfortunately, Peter, the boy she has a slight crush on, is a surfer, and she secretly wants power over water. (When the Guardians have the chance to switch elements, Cornelia picks water). Another incident that shows her fear of water is when the cave with a portal to Meridian floods with water and Cornelia frantically begs Irma to "do something".
- Wants to be the leader of W.I.T.C.H.
