█Height: 5' 3"
█Weight: 105 lbs.
█Physical Description: Cassandra has icy white hair that seems to shimmer blue in the right light, especially near the tips; her ears and tail have the same color fur, but with a bit of orange-y brown at the tip of her tail. Though she appears to have two sets of ears -- one human and one vulpid -- only the fox ears actually function with the human ones being non-functioning. Her skin is light in tone, though not pale. Her eyes are a warm caramel-orange hue. She wears her air in a slicked back spiky style that makes her locks seem short; if she were to let her hair completely down, it would actually reach the bottom of her shoulder blades. Her build is rather like that of a runner's: lean and somewhat athletic-looking without being noticeably muscular. She wears a dark blue vest and fingerless, shoulder-length gloves, which are all made of cloth with leather-and-silver belt accents. Her cloth pants are also a dark shade of blue -- darker than the vest -- and her leather boots are even darker -- nearly black -- except for the silvery blue accents. Along with all of that, she also wears a somewhat ragged looking dark blue cloth cape, because she thinks capes look cool. She has no markings on her body aside from a few freckles scattered across her arms, which are primarily covered by her gloves.
█Personality: Cassandra is a generally "nice" woman. She is normally polite and happy and eager to talk and make friends, and dislikes making people angry (at least without reason). However, despite her social tendencies, she tends to run out of conversation topics quickly and as such has grown accustomed to quietness, which might at times make her seem aloof or asocial. It can take a while for her to trust someone, but typically she stands by her friends and allies no matter what. Though she tries to remain happy and calm, certain things can really set off her temper, such as when someone she's loyal to is threatened, be it physically, verbally, etc. For the most part, she does better when she's around others, be it as a group member or a follower, though she does prefer to be part of a larger group; she likes for her ideas to be heard, but she feels that her confidence wavers and falters too often when in an important position to be a leader -- but if forced into the role, she executes to the best of her ability, relying on others to help her make the right choices. In short, she'd rather not do things on her own, but nor does she want to relinquish full control of her choices. She can sometimes be indecisive, but often merely because she sees pros and cons to both sides and isn't sure which gives the best pro-to-con ratio. She is also generally curious, sometimes to a child-like level.
█Special Accessories: Cassandra has a few pouches on the back-side of a belt which is under her vest; these pouches are for holding whatever various doodads and whatsits that she deems worth holding onto. She also wears a silver armband near the elbow of her right upper arm (her sword arm, despite how it looks in the Tektek), which is a symbol of the completion of her training in the art of swordplay.
█Biography/History: Cassandra was born in the small village of The Village of the White Glade deep in the woodlands partway up a snowy mountain. In that village, learning one or more forms of combat was practically a necessity given how far from civilization they were. Fortunately, their village was allied with several other villages within a couple days' hike, and each village was home to a master of a specific form of combat. At a young age, usually by the age of seven, they chose which art they wanted to devote themselves to and went to live in the village of the man or woman they would learn from. This process not only allowed for each village to have a variety of fighters at its disposal to hunt and defend against attackers (be they of the feral or sapient variety), but it also created bonds between the villages so as to prevent conflict.
At the age of five, Cassandra chose to learn the art of swordplay. She went to the necessary village, The Village on the Windswept Cliff with the rest of the children who had chosen the way of the sword that year, all accompanied by those who had finished their training in archery (her village's skill) who were ready to return to their village. And so she studied under her master, a wolf Animatic by the name of Xavier Snowpeak, for many years, along with the rest of his students. By the age of thirteen, after nearly a decade learning everything from basic respect for one's blade and one's opponent to the most effective and efficient ways to kill all sorts of creatures, Xavier bestowed upon her and the rest of his "graduating" pupils a silver armband as a "seal of approval," so to speak, in regards to their level of mastery. The group went back to their own villages, accompanying those of the Windswept Cliff to their destination.
At the age of sixteen, however, Cassandra started to feel a desire to leave her village and explore the world after a traveling merchant told tales of the grand cities far beyond the reaches of her familiar woods. With the blessing of her parents, she set off mere months later with the promise that she'd return someday when she'd seen much of the outside world.
Along her travels, she also apprenticed for a while under a woman named Anju Lockhart who taught her the basics of Thunder-element magic, an element that complemented the quick and efficient style Xavier had taught her due to the element's fast and powerful nature.
█Class: █

█Skills: █

Cassandra is skilled in swordplay, taught to her by Xavier Snowpeak.
She is also a decent wildlife tracker and hunter, as they were necessary skills for her to learn in her remote home village for the sake of putting food on the table. It helps her survive when she can't afford food from nearby settlements and helps her avoid running straight into a wild animal's territory, though she is by no means a master a does slip up occasionally.
