About Corinne the Chroniker

Corinne could be beautiful, young and lithe as she is, but it's not a trait she ever purposely put much effort into. Life on the hard streets had taught her many lessons, and the more she looked like a boy the better. For a young girl, there were worse things than death, and Corinne had seen that fate befall many other young women time and time again.

Agile and swift as an alley cat, Corinne always had a way about her, something uncanny, especially when it dealt with the passing of time. She had no way to explain it really, except that she could see the world in ways that no one else could. To her the past, present and future were all the same thing.
