Appearance
Pritchard has gray hair tied in a bun, fair skin, brown eyes, cataracts in her right eye, and burn scars on the right side of her face. She wears a green sweater underneath a black coat and a brightly patterned scarf.

Personality
Judging by the fact that she lives alone in a cottage and her dislike of your character and friends for trespassing, one can assume that Pritchard is reclusive and highly protective of her privacy.

Background
Along with a number of unnamed individuals, Cora was a part of a group responsible for keeping the dark energy of Westchester, named The Power, contained to the limits of the woods. In exchange, they were rewarded supernatural powers with Cora gaining the ability to create supernatural being such as moss creatures. However, as attempting to wield too much of their ability could have disastrous consequences she is limited to creating a single construct at a time.

When one member became greedy and attempted to harness more of The Power than his human form could maintain he fused with The Power to become it's physical manifestation and consequently the undead entity of Redfield. Working together with the remaining members of the group, Cora bound Redfield to the ruined house in the woods. However, during the binding process Redfield lashed out, scarring the right side of Cora's face including her right eye.

Jane & Noah
Ten years ago, Cora allegedly approached Jane and Noah and tried to grab them much to their surprise and horror. It is possible she was trying to protect them and knew they had already encountered Redfield.
