As a toddler, Cora Quartermaine was pretty typical of wealthy kids. As she grew older however, her hair darkened into a copper colour while her eyes remained green. At the same time, she spoke a bit Midwestern!
Her favourite day ever was being in a high school prom with a big amount of luscious boyfriends to contend with. Later on, she was admired by best friend Chastity Temperance Burns.
She was the first to exhibit the extravagant fashion more typical of subsequent Quartermaines, but her favourite clothing was a granny dress.
As she became an adult, Cora Quartermaine left the house. She had to find work! At the same time, she met a handsome man named Melvin Mersin. To her, he was both the rival and the boyfriend, so they bickered and then slowly fell in love. They got married in 1832 and birthed three sons, Kenneth (born 1836), Alec (born 1839) and Junior (born 1843).
However, they separated in the American civil war. Melvin died in the war fighting against the most severe of confederates, while widowed Cora lived up to 70 in 1877.
