「 Once we believe in ourselves, we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight, or any experience that reveals the human spirit. 」
xxxxxx「E. E. Cummings」
Wide Eyes
 Name: Cassie Finlay
Nickname: Cas
Age: 19 20 21 22 23 24
Birthday: April 23, 1996
Sign: Taurus
Gemstone: Diamond
Height: 5'2"
Blood Type: Type AB Positive
Fav. Food: Chocolate~ And pasta salads. Not together though. Oh! Does it count that she lives off passion fruit and lemonade ice tea?
Hated Food: Mushrooms. Just... ugh. Also not a fan of seafood at all.
School: Destiny City University, Anthropology Major and Creative Writing Minor
↠xxxPreviously Attended: Graduated Medowview
↠xxxOccupation: Works part-time at a cafe on the DCU campus.
Clothes: Oh so many layers. A huge fan of the dark mori and Strega style, she prefers a brighter wardrobe than most usually depict. She'll tag her outfits under "#witchofwinterandstars," and that's generally the easiest way to describe her attempted aesthetic. Lots of blues, purples, and celestial accessories. Or fairy themed--forest dweller, flower prints, actual fairy images... you name it.
↠xxxCas wears a few constant accessories: Swarski crystal studded hoops in the upper most piercing in her ears; a Clahdah ring (heart pointed out!) on her right ring finger; four silver rings linked together she rolls around on her middle finger on her right hand; a simple black strap watch on her right wrist. Additional jewelry is always a must, but those are her constants.
☆═━┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈━═☆
Hobbies
{ Stationary Fanatic } . . .
xxxxxxxIf Cas doesn't have her nose in a journal--one of the many up on her bookshelves, never mind the Midori she constantly carries around--then clearly something's wrong. She's got a large collection of different pens, highlighters, decorative tape, stickers... the list goes on, and she uses her study time to rewrite her notes in the cleanest, and most decorative, ways she can. One of her biggest uses for them all however, are her stories. Crafting worlds, making universe bibles for her creations... trying to keep all the bloodlines and heritages straight as she works through various time periods... She's got to keep it all organized somehow! Her books feel like life-long works at this point, and a few are finally to the point she can actually feel comfortable letting other people read them. Dreams of publication still ring around her head.
{ Whimsy Fantasy } . . .
xxxxxxxOccult and folklore is her life essence. She's made it a bit of a life's work to research her Irish heritage, not to mention an interest in folklore and mythology from across the world. It's largely why she's pursuing Anthropology, and has lead her into a love of many topics: high fantasy, urban fantasy, horror, werewolves, vampires, aliens... Fairies especially. Big time. While not an expert in any part of the fields, she enjoys learning all she can from those with more information, or even just different views than hers on the topic. From academic, to spiritual, to popular media in the form of Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings, and American Horror Story... her reasons for being interested in the topics range far and wide, and that's kept her rather open to all manner of reasons to try and seek out some conversation on it all.
{ DIY Collections } . . .
xxxxxxxCas sort of lives on Pinterest among other sites--Instagram and Tumblr are her worst offenses--and when you don't have a lot of disposable income, it's not super easy to do all the shopping, decorating... or really anything she'd like to do. Best solution? DIY as much as she can. She's (somewhat) taught herself how to sew, and has even begun learning how to refurbish somewhat outdated furniture. Nothing fancy, but she gets a kick out of seeing her space brightened up by pieces she's been able to modify. Her style's definitely shabby chic, if only because she can make mistakes and not totally screw up the project in the process. She adores getting tips and new ideas whenever she can, and has begun frequenting a lot of the local thrift shops and artist studios to get ideas and... well, attempt to socialize, anyways.
{ Anthropology } . . .
xxxxxxxHer major is her excuse to take classes on subjects she'd adored for ages: history, prehistory, culture, psychology, law, art (history!), religious studies... the list goes on. She has a tendency to lose all her money buying books and magazines on these subjects, always grabbing free books on her various e-reader apps... Really, if money wasn't a question, she'd live to learn. Which, hey... if she plays her cards right, some people make whole careers out of that!

「 As knowledge increases, wonder deepens. 」
xxxxxx「Charles Morgan」
Virtues
{ Resourceful } . . .
xxxxxxxIf one route doesn't work, just got to figure out another, hm? That's Cassie's most basic view of the world--well that, and things happen for a reason. Be it figuring out ways to fit last minute adjustments into plans, or making entirely new plans spick and span 60 seconds from midnight, she's got the will and the way to make it happen. Scrounging around for materials to make a DIY project work in her budget is just another obstacle she just needs to wrap her head around and figure out the best solution to. Not to say some of these new solutions aren't preluded by huffs and puffs and plenty of cussing if she's stressed enough, but at the end of it all even Cassie can admit it wasn't all that hard to do once she thought about it.
{ Amiable } . . .
xxxxxxxEvery person she makes eye contact with is quick to get a smile, regardless of if she's met them before or not. Friends often find their meals paid for and objections waved off. She's always got a packet of tissues in her purse or bag--cry around her, and she'll quickly pass some over with many mumbled apologies for being rude for bothering them. For being someone who never used to like being in crowds, Cassie wants to do all she can to make people around her smile. Not that she'll break her back over it, and of course she knows there's just no pleasing some people, but if a compliment on someone's hair or outfit, a laugh about the slow elevator, giving directions to someone who might be lost... if any of those little things could be done to just make someone's day just a drop more positive, where's the harm? The world's not always sunshine and rainbows, but in her mind that just makes it all the more important for people to try and do their own little parts to bring some of that into the overpowering doom and gloom.
{ Studious } . . .
xxxxxxxIf there was anyone who ever lived just to learn, it'd be her. Girl's got a wonder-lust to her unlike anything else. Curiosity is a chief component of her outlook on the world, something that's helped to prompt her to look to Anthropology. The best way to feed that curiosity? Ask questions. Read books. Listen to the stories people tell. And research. Question every fact she ever thought she knew, and if it's not backed up by a few sources... keep on looking. School as an institution isn't very important to her, and she'd be the first to tell someone who was truly unhappy with the atmosphere to seek another avenue for knowledge. It's the act of learning itself, of always being open to new ideas and understanding old concepts might be shaken up pretty bad by new information--that's the important part she always tries to stress when talking to anyone about education. Right before she hides away in the library on campus and tries to buckle back down on her own studies.
☆═━┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈━═☆
Flaws
{ Clingy } . . .
xxxxxxxSure she's more comfortable now with socializing than she used to be, but when she does click with someone and an acquaintance looks like they might stick around sort of? Cassie clings. She clings a lot. She texts them, IMs them, invites them out to places--her treat!--and while that might not seem like such a bad thing in theory, the girl is always apologizing for bothering them. But the idea of going to a new place without a safety net? Kinda makes it worth it to harass someone she knows into coming out there with her. In her mind, she's bothering people around her--and though she'll laugh it off in person, it's not uncommon for her to try and use favors and treats she knows the other person likes to try and act as apologies in and of themselves for how she sticks around them. Though not the type to become hostile if other friends of theirs are in the picture, Cassie can--and will--become excessively silent and apologetic when she feels her attempts at keeping herself on equal footing in the mixed company fail horribly. No she won't lash out if the person she clings to has their attention diverted, but the gloomy silent treatment isn't much better.
{ Anxiety Overload } . . .
xxxxxxxIt's her weakness. Stress. Not uncommon in the world, but Cassie has a tendency to let her anxieties take control of her thought processes and behavior more than she rationally knows she should. Trips into new areas of the city must be made with company or she's not going. Walking alone at night? Not happening if she can do anything to avoid it--being unable to? Means she's walking with keys between her fingers and tears in her eye the whole way until she's reached safety. Yes, she can still function during such times that are, for her, hair-raising, but it's not uncommon for that ability to function to come crashing down. Aware of this, and of how erratic she can become during her anxiety attacks and "breakdowns," Cassie usually ops for the obvious solution: do all she can to avoid situations she know will push her into such a state. It's not the best coping method, but at this point it's proven to be the most effective.
{ Procrastinator } . . .
xxxxxxxYeah all that anxiety? Usually, Cassie's got herself to blame for it. Why work on a paper due in a week when there's so many shows to watch on Netflix or things to do in the city? Yeah until the night before the paper's due, she's up till the rooster's calling and trying to race through the assignment, blaming stress and freaking out the whole time. Does she learn? Though she keeps it in mind for the next occurrence... rinse and repeat. Much as she spends her time trying to prepare for events and plans, and much as she actually enjoys her time doing that... the girl's a procrastinator, first and foremost. There's always other projects she'd rather be working on instead of the project with an actual deadline. It's always the more important projects and plans she sets to the side, instead of the logical other way around. It's a large portion of her stress in life, yet one that she seems unable--or at least unwilling--to change.

Magic
Sailor Scout Attack:
xxxxxxxxxShimmering Awe . . . .
Calling the name of her attack, Cassiopeia focuses her magic between her hands. An orb 12 inches in diameter forms, floating in the air between her hands before rising into the air about two feet in the air above her, 7 feet into the air from the ground. The orb's contents is constantly shifting, looking one moment like a fairy light hovering in the air, to a galaxy, to mystifying alien worlds. Any Chaos agents standing in a range of 12 feet diameter who view the orb would find themselves transfixed by the sights. Though they would be able to look back and focus on the fight at hand, Chaos agents might keep finding their attention wavering back to the orb and its mystical sights. The orb itself only remains for 30 seconds before it vanishes, and Cassiopeia must recharge her magic for 60 seconds before she can use her magic again. She can only use it three times per day.
Super Sailor Scout Attack:
xxxxxxxxxIlluminating Splendor . . . .
Calling the name of her attack, Cassiopeia focuses her magic between her hands. An orb 12 inches in diameter forms, floating in the air between her hands before rising into the air about two feet in the air above her, 7 feet into the air from the ground. The orb's contents, and even the air around it, is constantly shifting, looking one moment like a fairy light hovering in the air, to a galaxy, to mystifying alien worlds, larger and more luminous than before. Any Chaos agents standing in a range of 12 feet diameter who view the orb would find themselves transfixed by the sights. Though they would be able to look back and focus on the fight at hand, Chaos agents might keep finding their attention wavering back to the orb and its mystical sights. They might even find themselves trying to move towards the orb, and should they manage to grab hold of it and pull it down, touching the orb itself would cause a burning sensation that ends soon as they no longer are touching it. The orb itself only remains for 45 seconds before it vanishes, and Cassiopeia must recharge her magic for 90 seconds before she can use her magic again. She can only use it twice per day.
Eternal Sailor Attack:
xxxxxxxxxRadiating Wonder . . . .
When Cassiopeia speaks the name of her attack, she summons a small, marble-sized ball of energy. The orb only hovers 5 feet in the air where it was summoned. The orb casts out rays of light across a 16 foot diameter area, causing the air to shimmer and ripple as images of space, alien and fantastical worlds, all fade in and out of view between and within the rays of light. Any within the area would find it hard to concentrate on the battle at hand, though should anyone be drawn to the orb itself and touch it, they would find themselves experiencing a harsh burning sensation until they released the orb. After 30 seconds, the orb vanishes, and Cassiopeia must recharge her magic for 90 seconds before she can use her magic again, and can only use it twice per day.

The World
↠xxx✭ Homeworld: Cassiopeia
xxxxx۰ Named by the natives as Cassín--Cassén
↠xxx✭ Planet Type: Water world -- Some continents exist to the north and south poles, however the populated land masses through the rest of the planet are largely composed of wide, low islands. Volcanic activity that constructed a vast majority of the islands left wide stretches of interconnected tunnels that were later used by the native flora, fauna, and settlers, after the activity in that region went dormant. Due to somewhat limited living space, most areas occupied by the Cassín were overly developed, built heavily one over the other. Lower, older levels have a far more dijointed appearance due to a drastic change in styles and aesthetics as the Cassín were inspired by other races and systems, and in some newer areas the same changes can be viewed. Overall however, the newest areas are a solid white marble, highly decorated in jewel tones in mosaics, frescos, and precious metal fillegree.

↠xxx✭ The People of Cassín:
Overall, the people of Cassiopeia { Cassín } were a wispy people, with skin tones ranging from paper white, to gunmetal, to aged gold. The average height for a citizen of this world was 5'7", with the max being up around 7-8’ largely found around the equator and shortest population in the northern and southern continents averaging around 4'5" when full grown. Slender bodied and limbed, these were not people made for brute force, but instead focused on their… intellectual pursuits. Mostly.
In modern comparisons made by Cassie, she describes them as, “Seelie Court meets High Elves meets Kaminoan,” “and lots and lots of stars and shiny sparkly stuff” within her notes.

He's always warning me about spending and keeps telling me to keep an eye out for getting hired at a place that can give me more hours and more cash. Means well, but I'd really rather not hear it at this point...
↠xxx❤❤❤❤❤Sarah Finlay (nee Calchas). . . .. . . Works in the offices of the local Department of Human Services as a Family Service Worker. She tries to not bring her work home with her, but with the work load she's got... she's rarely home as it is, and if she didn't bring some of her work home with her, we'd never see her. Mom's got a hell of an imposing nature about her when she wants to, but she's always been awesome with kids. Helps that Uncle Victor's got his private security firm--mom's definitely gone out with him a few times to learn how some self-defense for when things get a bit hairy out there when she does home inspections and visits. This city's definitely got it's problems... I just hope it doesn't eat up my mom.

✖✖✖✖✖ Yeah you're not her favorite person to be around...
✖✖✖✖✖ She'd rather not be around you. At all.
