Cassie		Swan

Real Name: Cassandra Swan Alias(es): Cas, Cassie, Mia Piccola Assassina Apparent Age: Late Teens, Early 20s Relevant merits and flerits: Baby Face, Infamous Sire Physical description: Cassie stands roughly 5'7 when she stands upright and when her long brown burned-with-a-ceramic-straightener hair with the multicolor underdye (currently an electric blue) doesn't fall into her face, it's easy to see her bright blue eyes nervously peering out from behind thick black plastic framed glasses. On a normal night, she seems a fan of the mid to late 2000s fashion trend that a Hot Topic probably enabled with some Spencers flare to top off the look. In general, the 'classic' scene/emo aesthetic is clearly her greatest ward against evil. Her choice of footwear is either a pair of ankle or knee converse or vans, depending on the day. Formal wear would be doc martens. There are no other types of shoes. Color wise, Cassie typically wears black with hints of electric blue but if duty calls so to speak, she's likely to be dressed in exclusively black (but still matching the scene / emo aesthetic). Cassie is never seen without one or more of her friends. These range from standard 'cute' stuffed animals to disturbing patchwork creations only their creator could love.

Personality Description: Cassie is extremely shy and often gives off the vibe she is nervous to exist, let alone communicate with anyone around her. She is usually very visibly awkward in her movements and speech (eye contact is th devil) yet Cassie herself when she feels safe is a genuinely friendly sort of girl who is always eager to help and seems very eager to please and prove herself. With glasses that are constantly slumping and a typical attire comprising of a teenager's hot topic closet from the mid to late 2000s, she really does not in any way shape or form give off the vibe of someone who has her stuff together but her genuine desire to help does tend to come through more often than not. To those with an eye to see such things, it does seem as though Cassie is the type of girl with stitches along her seams. Detailed Status: Acknowledged by the Prince of Springfield, Circa 2004 Cherished by Sovereign Prince Rook

a note from inside

Dear Me,

How are you, me? Are you used to these four walls yet? I think you are, given that you know that there are exactly 483 tiles that make up the brick hidden under the tapestries and that there are 36.5 wooden floor boards under the red fuzzy rug. It takes seven steps to get from the bed to the door, three if you jump or take big steps. The desk and bed frames are both made of wood, but it’s a dark walnut and it’s been sealed somehow, probably with a ward, so I can’t rip it apart and use it to put myself out of my own misery, should I feel such an end to my misery is required. The chair at my desk, which is five and a half steps from my bed, is a plush red executive chair. It squeaks a little when you sit in it, more if you shift to the side. It’s around a G, but it’s around a quarter step flat.

The book case on the other side of the room, at the foot of the bed, which you can reach if you really lean or take a single step off the bed, has eighteen books on its shelves. The closet in the corner, 6 steps from the bed, has all my clothing in it, including his vest.

I never take the pendant off, from around my neck. I never will. Nobody needs to know that the metal bars of the bird cage are infused with his ashes. It’s all I have left of him. It’s all I have. It’s all I need anymore in this world to keep waking up every night and pushing forward.

How did this begin, self? How did we get to where we are? Do you remember? I don’t want to forget, and I might be forced to forget, so I’m writing this now and placing it beyond the mirrors, like he taught me. They gave me a mirror, I could’ve just left, because they gave me a god damn mirror and placed it in my room, but that in itself was also part of the test. A test to see if I’m really dedicated to this notion that we weren’t the evil they said we were. If we’re really loyal to House and Clan like we always claimed, even at the end.

These memories, of us, I don’t ever want them lost forever.
