Hey there ^^ I'd be more than happy to look over Cora for you!

I've read her page before, and I also love how you go into detail with your characters! I enjoy her personality very much, and I love how much you've written about her relationships! Also, her backstory was delightful to read! One thing I'm very curious about is her relationship with her sister, Nikole. In her backstory, it says that Cora and her sister were pitted against each other frequently. How did that effect their relationship? If these two siblings were constantly being pitted against each other, I would imagine that their relationship would be rocky, to say the least. Under her Relationships section, though, it says that Cora and her sister are close - What are the reasons for this? I mean, those Ozinites pretty much took "sibling rivalry" to the next level concerning their destinies, so how did that effect them? Were they even aware of that? If so, how did Cora feel about it?

Another thing in her backstory that I noticed was that one day Cora went from isloted and depressed to one day up and deciding she wasn't going to be isolated and depressed. There has to be some sort of catalyst or reason for this sudden change. Was it copious amounts of brooding? Was it something else? I'm curious as to what had managed to inspire Cora so much that she just suddenly changed with like a snap of the fingers.

I'd like to keep this short, since I'm also reviewing your fanfic, but just know that I'm a big fan of Cora so far! ^^ She's well-written and realistic, and she has an interesting backstory and personality!

And now for my review on The Road Out of Oz Ain't Paved in Gold!

First of all, I really enjoy your writing style. It's easy to read, yet still humorous. Also, I love how it's from Cora's perspective! Writing in a character's perspective is always great, because it shows a new side to the character that otherwise wouldn't be shown!

I think it does a great job of showing Cora's personality and inner thoughts without rambling or coming off too boring or something. It was fun to read, and it was interesting to see Cora's point of view on the whole Legacy Day fiasco, and especially her lingering thoughts after it. It really gave depth to Cora as a character C:

Overall, I really enjoyed it! It had just the right amount of humor, sassiness, and drama without messing up the pace of the story. I wouldn't mind reading a sequel or a follow-up to this fanfic if you were to ever write one! ^^
