WEAKNESS!?! -

OVERAL!?! - Corey tends to be an optimist. He does have his doubts, esspecially the ones in himself that often get to him the most, but he tries to not let those weight him down. He figures if he stays positive his charges will be more likely to. Some might also call him a dreamer, and they might be right. He does try to ground his optimisim and his dreams in reality though, rather than dreaming beyond the realm of what his possible.
Corey, despite being an optimist and liking bright colors, is not actually as bubbly and energetic as some people might think. He tends to be rather calm and relaxed. He enjoys sponteneity and is very good at being flexible and going with the flow of things. He's very responsible, esspecially for someone so young, and it has more to do with his past than hos long he's been a whitelighter. He's got a big heart, and it's often what makes his charges willing to be open to him.
While he has his good aspects, Corey has bad ones too. If others doubt in what he can do it has a large effect on his belief in himself. He also holds onto things a little too much, thought usually tending to regret his own actions more than holding a grudge. He is uncomfortable in awkward silences, and while he like sponteneity he starts to lose his cool if things disolve into chaos.

HAIR!?! - His hair is dark brown. He wears it short and uses gel to slick it back amd make is spike up some.

IMPORTANT!?! - Alliance: Good
FINALLY!?! - Corey was born in northern MN twenty-seven years ago to Rose and Tyler Bennett. He was the youngest of four siblings and the only boy. At the time of his birth his sisters were 7 (Serena), 10 (Hayley), and 13 (Staycie). Now of course being the only boy was not a walk in the park. The girls always had someone who had gone through what they were or who could at least empathize. Corey, while he was empathic, ended up getting left out a lot. It wasn't like he couldn't rely on his sisters, there were just some things he couldn't go to them with.
Now one thing with growing up as the youngest was that you weren't often that old when you finally end up becoming an aunt or uncle. Staycie married Carter Barnett when she was 20, and at the time Corey was 7. Three years later Hayley married Christopher Rivers and it was only a few months later that Corey's first niece, Sarah, was born and he became an uncle at 10. In three more years his sister Serena would marry married Daniel Lyons and gave birth to Corey's nephew Erik.
The thing with all these births in his life was that it made Corey realize he needed to grow up a little. Erik and Sarah looked up to him and followed him around, thus he needed to watch the example he set for them. He may have only been 13, but even he realized that they were mimicking his actions. It was becuase of Erik and Sarah that he became the person he is, someone who always tries to do the right thing and who made the most of life. He also became their confidant, more so than their parents or his. After years of being by himself, he had someone even if they were more dependant on him.
Shortly before his 16th birthday, Corey's sister Staycie finally had kids of her own. The twins Caitlyn and Brianna were born. She said something that day to Corey that stuck in his mind, that she hoped the twins followed him too becuase she wanted them to be like him. It was a few days after this that the shooting at Corey's school happened. He took a bullet for one of the other students, dying later in the hospital.
He has seen his family once, from a distance and under a glamour, since becoming a whitelighter. Four years after his death Serena had another boy and named it after Corey. He misses them and some of the things he'll never get to be a part of. It's been ten years since his death though, and in that time he's been a better whitelighter than some of the Elders had suspected he would. If given the choice, it's not clear if he'd take his old life back over his new one, but he certainly is taking to his new one.
