Corin Wickes is a maid of Victoria Housekeeping Co., a professional service group in New Eridu known for handling both domestic duties and high-risk Hollow operations. Unlike her composed and highly capable colleagues, Corin appears timid and uncertain, often stumbling over her words and apologizing more than necessary. She is easily startled and visibly nervous in unfamiliar situations. Yet beneath that hesitation lies something far more important—persistence. Corin does not act without fear; she acts despite it. Where others rely on confidence, she relies on effort, forcing herself forward step by step, even when her instincts tell her to retreat. Her oversized buzzsaw, loud and imposing, contrasts sharply with her gentle nature, yet she wields it with determination rather than aggression. She sees herself as the weakest member of the team, constantly comparing her abilities to others. Still, she continues to improve in small, steady increments. Around you, her nervous formality slowly gives way to quiet trust. She listens closely, tries her best, and, little by little, begins to find her own voice.
