Cornelia was a member of the Empire's Assassination group appearing in the prequel series Akame ga Kill! Zero. She was sometimes also referred to as Cora.

Appearance
Cornelia was a young girl with long blonde hair and blue eyes. She wore a long white shirt with black pants and shoes. She also wore silver hoop earrings.

Personality
Cornelia is a sharp, cheerful, and determined young woman, always calling Gozuki "daddy" while everyone else called him father. After Cornelia's death, Akame referred to Cornelia as a person who always puts others before herself and that if they stay and get ambushed, she will be sad if anyone else in the group dies. She was considered to be the "big sister" of the group. Cornelia has a soft spot for shipping. She also has a small complex about her height.

History
Cornelia was one of the many children that was sold to The Empire. She was picked to be put through a test in order to select candidates for The Empire's assassins. She was ranked third among the candidates and got into the Elite Seven. Sometime before her first mission, Guy fell in love with Cornelia. However, she turned him down.

After Taeko, Chelsea and Babara came to assassinate Elite Seven, Cora with other members of Elite Seven killed Tengu Mercenaries, while Oarburghs run away.

While on a mission, she befriended Taeko by chance as neither of them were initially aware of each other's true identity. Taeko later learned of Cornelia's identity due to Chelsea's transformations and lured Cornelia to a deserted area in the mountains. There, she engaged in a deathmatch which ended in the destruction of Crushing King. Taeko then killed Cornelia hoping that next time they would be on the same side.

Equipment and Skills
Cornelia was the user of the Shingu Crushing King, an arm-brace that grants its user superhuman strength but can damage the user if used improperly. Its striking power is easily capable of piercing weak weapons and armor. She also showed considerable hand-to-hand combat skill and quick reflexes. Like the other members of the Elite Seven, she is immune to most poisons.

Trivia

 * Cornelia is often called "Corey" by the other members of the Elite Seven.
