Cora Harper (Official Thread)

If I make you a sandwich who will stop Cora from eating it before I give it to you? She is so fat that if she is the lost daughter of Tim then she was kept a secret because she ate the entire family.

Ohh god, it would be awesome if she is an orphan
- What happened to Cora's family?
-- She ate them

What can't these forums have a thumbs down button for people? I would like to use it now.

Even I thought that was funny! Kudos Two-Face.

I honestly do not understand the complaints about Cora's face and hair. Cora's military so she would logically have short hair. I personally am not into asymmetrical hairstyles but Cora's one is not too bad.

As for her face, Miranda Lawson's in-game face in Mass Effect 2 was far worse - She looked like Michael Jackson. Sure, Cora is no ME3 Ashley but she is not bad looking.

FTFY 

A feminazi is typically overweight, a lazy simpleton, loud-mouthed, has pink or blue spiky hair, has piercings, etc...

Cora's hair is blonde, not pink or blue. Her hair is also not spiky, it is short and asymmetrical. Additionally, Cora is not overweight and judging by her skills and training, is most definitely not lazy and not a simpleton. Lastly, based on her voice we heard recently, it does not suggest that she is loud mouthed, but suggests that she is sophisticated. 

Similarly, Cassandra's hair is her natural colour and it is neither pink nor blue. Cassandra's hair is also not spiky, but is instead short and braided. Cassandra is also not overweight and is most definitely not a lazy simpleton. If you were to ascribe stereotypes to her, she would be a female religious conservative - Faithful, pious and secretly reading smutty literature.

The reality is that Bioware, while having racist developers like Manveer Heir on their team, is not stupid enough to create feminazi characters because at the end of the day, Bioware is a business and they need to make money. Feminazis are highly unappealing to most people (more and more people of both sexes are not identifying as feminists these days, let alone a hardcore or a fundamental feminist) so Bioware is not going to make characters like them. Even characters with any social justice leanings receive noticeable negative feedback from many fans which Bioware ends up responding to. Take Sera and how her character matures in Trespasser DLC and contrast that with how downright awful she can be to a religious Elven Inquisitor. 

Maybe Cora is screwing Matt Damon beyond Male Ryder's back... but Scotty doesn't know.

(Because old memes are way more interesting than what's currently going on in the thread)

Well, this thread took a turn.

Eh, I dig her look. I'm still going for Peebee first, but I'm definitely looking forward to seeing what her romance is like.

As for her possible Cerberus connections -- I think it will matter more thematically than anything. After all, the plot of this game will be finding a new home amongst dozens of new species. You can imagine how xenophobia and Manifest Destiny that can get. She could have her past of living in a similar environment show how that shaped her as a person.

I sympathise

More seriously, with over 1,500 posts added daily, the moderators can't be on top of every post.

Our rules do however probit:

> Spamming the forums with pointless crap.
> Posting comments that serve no purpose but to hurt or get a reaction

The line between that and simply having a controversial opinion (which is kind of ok) is a fuzzy one,
but where the line is crossed, it's ok to let a moderator know and we'll check it out.

Just saying... 

Well, even if she's her daughter, we don't know what kind of relationship they had. While it's possible going for the asari is either a sign or rebellion or influenced by learning those techniques for 'humanity', there's also the chance they've been estranged. 
I don't think she'll be a Cerberus agent because it might turn out the plot in a similar way that Trespasser. I don't want her to be a runaway either because it'll make her backstory too similar to Miranda.

That would be an interesting backstory.
