Character Approval/Cassandra Rhode

i'm weird, i'm a weirdo... **have you ever seen me without this stupid hat on?"** that's weird

1) **Describe your character's backstory. Who are their parents? Did they grow up with Nobility, or were they of lower class? The character's backstory must be at least 2 paragraphs long.**

Louis Carrolson was a wealthy elf, son of a famous Noble family. Despite his upbringing, he didn't go into the Noble business, or any line of work at all. Instead, he spent his time having fun at parties and causing trouble, with a different girlfriend every night and sometimes multiple at a time. Louis went in his emotional swings for sure, and was very unpredictable. So it was surprising when he decided to settle down with Cleopatra Rhode, a nice girl he had met at a party once.

Surely enough that after a year they were already in fights. But Cleopatra's baby girl was to be born, which was to rouse even more fights and debates among the household. When Cassandra was born a December afternoon, it was one of the last days she saw her mother, who promptly left, leaving Louis to care for her. The last thing Cleopatra arranged was for Cassandra to have Rhode as a last name, so she wasn't disgraced by the last name of Carrolson.

Louis didn't know a thing about raising a child. He had so many different personalities, and acted so differently depending on his mood, which could change so easily. You could imagine that with a baby having an irritable guy isn't a great idea. Sometimes he was a wonderful father, sometimes he wasn't great at caring for her.

Cassandra learned to be independent this way, from a young age. She developed a sense that if she needed something, she needed to get it herself. Cassandra was always an intelligent and mindful kid, normally a bit more wise than others. She was never particularly out of control like the other kids. She understood things a lot of kids didn't, like *sharing.*

Cassandra manifested as an Empath, an ability Louis's father had had. Cassandra loved the talent, because she could tell how people were feeling, and help them with their emotions.

Cassandra did fine at school. Never exceptional, never bad. Simply intermediate and fine. Cassandra had to do much soul searching after Foxfire, to try and discover what she wanted to do in life. She went on a tour of the world for a few years, looking. Until she finally ended up at Foxfire as the Guidance Counselor. She's been working there for almost four years now, at the age of around 30. She's happy in her position, and hopes to stay there for a long time.

2) **What is your character's personality like? Are they respectable, or rude? The character's personality must be a paragraph long.**

Cassandra is kind if nothing else. She's always on the bright side and trying to comfort people, which is probably how she ended up as a Guidance Counselor. Cassandra always does what's right, no matter what. She's funny and caring, always trying to cheer people up. Prejudice is something she never holds against anybody, and tries her best not to judge.

3) **What does your character look like? Do you have a model in mind for them? (if you do, you only need to say who it is)**

Gal Gadot.

4) **Describe your character's skill set. What they are good at? What do they want to be good at? What are they not good at?**

She's thoughtful and all around a great peoples person. She's confident, but doesn't have an ego too large, though sometimes she may make a cocky remark or two. Sometimes she can be naive and perhaps a doormat, and can be taken advantage of.
