Near-poverty and desperation are new experiences for Cordelia, and they allow her to truly empathise with others for the first time. After receiving Doyle's visions, she is literally able to feel others' pain, and starts to display the open compassion and wisdom that become her defining traits. She lifts Angel out of
Cordelia Chase, played by Charisma Carpenter, is one of Sunnydale High's popular rich girls on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Starting out as a foil to protagonist Buffy, Cordelia quickly becomes a reluctant member of the demon-fighting Scoobies. Three seasons later, she joins spin-off series Angel as Girl Friday to Angel's vampire detective. Throughout her development on both series, Cordelia goes through remarkable--and controversial--changes to emerge as one of writer/creator Joss Whedon's most intriguing female characters.
Joining the Scoobies
The first turning point for Cordelia comes when Marcie Ross tries to kill her (Buffy 1x11). This episode marks the first time she experiences the supernatural, and it also includes the first meaningful interaction she has with the Scoobies. She even thanks them for saving her life, prompting Xander to remark, "That's funny, 'cause she looks like Cordelia." Most importantly, the episode provides some insight into Cordelia's motivations. "It's not like any of [the clique] really know me," she tells Buffy. "I don't even know if they like me half the time. People just want to be in a popular zone. Sometimes when I talk, everyone's so busy agreeing with me, they don't hear a word I say."
Cordelia proves to be a loyal affiliate of the Scoobies [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], although friction continues to exist between her and the rest of the gang. Indeed, her role as a source of conflict within the Scoobies is not limited to snarky comments; her relationship with Xander becomes a contentious issue with both Willow and Buffy. By graduation, Cordelia becomes somewhat of an outsider: not being a 'core' Scoobie [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and possessing no means to attend college, she moves to Los Angeles.
In "Earshot" (Buffy 3x18), Buffy temporarily gains telepathic powers [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], through which she hears others' thoughts. The discrepancy between people's thoughts and their outward speech is shown for comic effect, but Cordelia's words and thoughts are identical. Although one may interpret this as a sign of Cordelia's unintelligence, her behaviour in other episodes indicates otherwise. Indeed, her habit of saying exactly what she thinks is a trait that she displays consistently on Buffy and Angel. As she tells Giles, "Tact is just not saying true pass." (Buffy 2x18)
The first season of Angel shows both Cordelia and Angel struggling to find their place in the world, and in the process, re-inventing themselves. Indeed, Cordelia's transformation from damsel in distress to a hero prompts Wesley and Angel to state, on separate occasions, how she has become an "extraordinary woman".
Cordelia's tendency to speak her mind gets her into trouble as often as it is her saving grace. Consider the following lines of Cordelia, the youngest daughter in King Lear: "I want that glib and oily art/To speak and purpose not; since what I well intend,/I'll do't before I speak." Shakespeare's Cordelia loses her share of Lear's inheritance because she does not embellish her speech; similarly, Cordelia's brutal honesty wins her no friends, though she does have a clique.
