Profile
Cordelia is a member of Ylisse's Pegasus Knight Squad, and is a childhood friend of Sumia. Unlike Sumia, who is considered a klutz, Cordelia is considered a genius who can do most things flawlessly. Her duty is to protect the royal family, though she also guides Sumia when the latter is in trouble. She holds feelings for Chrom, but hides them as she believes the relationship would be impossible and this is reflected in the game with Chrom and Cordelia being unable to support one another. Because of this characteristic, the game developers liken her to Catria. Based on her supports, she is not satisfied with the term "average," as she aims to be perfect in mastering her skills. Her perfectionism caused many of the other Pegasus Knights to dislike her, believing that she looked down on them. She sighs the most in the army. Her birthday is July 7th.

Etymology
Cordelia is a feminine given name, popularly associated with Latin cor (genitive cordis) "heart". It was born by the tragic heroine of Shakespeare's King Lear. In the play, the character is unwilling to profess her love to her father, stating "Love, and be silent", reflected in Cordelia's situation with Chrom.
Cordelia's Japanese name, Tiamo, comes from the Italian phrase "Ti amo", meaning "I love you", likely referencing her unrequited love for Chrom.
In conjunction with her daughter, their names reference "love and peace" in the Japanese version.
Trivia
- In the concept art in the Knights of Iris she had blue hair instead of red hair and she greatly resembled Lucina.
- Cordelia's birthday, 7th of July, is the same day as the Japanese star festival, Tanabata, which is inspired by a folklore story about two lovers that were separated and could only meet once a year on that day.
- Cordelia's voice actress, Julie Ann Taylor, also voices her daughter Severa.
