Courtney Moore is the seventeenth Historical Character, representing the 1980s. Courtney was released in 2020.
Personality and Facts
Courtney lives in Orange Valley, CA with her blended family. Her parents divorced when she was two years old, but mutually get along. Maureen met her stepfather, Mike D'Amico, when Courtney was five and they were later married. Courtney moved into Mike and Tina's house, the only time she has ever moved. Until recently she spent every weekend at her father Mr. Moore's house, but he has recently moved to take on a new job so in-person visits can only be once a month now.
She likes to be in control of what is happening around her, a struggle with the many changes that are happening such as her mother running for mayor of the town and changes at home. She looks up to various women as role models and wants to see more female characters into video games. Her favorite song is "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" by Cyndi Lauper and her favorite candy is gummy bears. Courtney can be very shy when speaking to people she doesn't know or speaking up for herself or family; her best friend Sara says she talks when she has something to say, rather than talking to hear the sound of her own voice, and knows exactly what to say when she does so. She feels better at working on individual projects such as playing video games than group work in class.
She and her stepsister Tina don't initially get along as much as they used to at the start of the series. Courtney is now upset that Tina seems to be dismissing her and pushing her away since the birth of their little brother, Rafi.
Courtney is an avid gamer and has one of the highest scores on Pac-Man at Smiley's Arcade. She is also into movies such as Star Wars, and The Goonies is her favorite movie. Her older stepsister Tina calls her a nerd for enjoying such things. She gets the idea to create her own video game with a self-created character, Crystal Starshooter, that she partially names after Christa McAuliffe. She is also very interested in space and excited for the launch of the Space Shuttle Challenger, including the fact a school teacher is going into space for the first time. Courtney is very imaginative and often gets lost in daydreams about Crystal Starshooter and the world created for her. She is a fairly good artist. Courtney owns a pet guinea pig, Parsley.
