She was one of my favourites, hands-down, from the very start -- and definitely my favourite female character.
In terms of story, she's awesome and has fantastic growth and development, plus she's gorgeous inside and out.
In more personal terms, I very strongly related with her as well, and Cordy as a character remains an inspiration when I need to remind myself it's okay to be who I am without apologising for my confidence in that, and not have to blend in. To this day, one of my biggest personal regrets is that I've lost (or faded) my impulse for unvarnished honesty. I've needed to develop this silver-tongued diplomatic double speak a lot of times, and while I can see the uses of it I also hate the dishonesty inherent. (Unless you get me drunk on whisky chasers. Only drink that makes tipsy!me lose the brain-to-mouth thing completely.)
Of course, having said that, it's going to sound so conceited when I say that anyone who identifies with Cordelia, character and evolution, I'll automatically think of as a wonderful, sharp person.
