### Best Friends Forever After

Vesper Divitae, Blaze Vulcan & Kiyomi Raiden

**Cascadia-Neptuna Paradise de Mare** [*she/her*], better known as **Cascade**, is the 16-year-old daughter of **Neptune** from *Roman Mythology*, intended to take over his legacies and his place as **King of the Sea** (Queen in her case).

At the time of the **Rebel Movement**, Cascade is attending her **Legacy Year** (second) of the Mythology Program and rooms with Kiyomi Raiden. Completely happy with her destiny as the next Goddess of the Sea and finding nothing wrong, Cascade sides with the **Royals**. However, recently a certain someone has made her rethink her dreams

## Characteristics

### Personality & traits

Unless you don't know, you wouldn't be able to tell if Cascade was Neptune's daughter. But, she is definitely her father's daughter, she's an exact copy of him. She loves anything involving water or the ocean, she especially loves to go to the beach and catch some waves. She loves and cares for all types of sea creatures, her favorite is dolphins.

Being a mini-Neptune, she, unfortunately, inherited her father's famed **temper**, which makes it hard for her to **control**some of her **powers**. Her temper makes it hard for her to gain control over her earthquake powers as they are directly linked to emotions. This makes her have to work on keeping calm most of the time and not get pissed. When Cascade gets angry, be it at family, friends, or foes, she will snap. It also makes it *ridiculously* hard to calm her down. She has trouble letting out her emotions as they are connected to her earthquake powers. The angrier she is, the more destruction her earthquake powers do. She is trying to stay calm, but when you inherit your father's temper, it doesn't always help.

Despite being totally spoiled by her father, Cascade is nowhere being a spoiled brat. It's a mystery to why that is, but no one really notices or feels the need to ask. She holds high respect for her father and won't let anyone bad mouth him.

Cascade is very **confident**in her abilities, but that at times is also a flaw for her. She can underestimate people when training which results in her getting beaten and her getting angry. That is not a good combination.

She is extremely **loyal**to her friends and family, always willing to stand by them. She shows her loyalty when she stood by Blaze when they were having issues with what they were as a person, male or female. If her trust is broken though, Cascade will hold a grudge. She can hold a grudge for a long time and still does to this day with her brother, who broke her trident once. It did get repaired but she still holds that grudge.

In terms of romance, Cascade usually is very confident able to do anything, but it was hard considering her short temper and unable to control her emotions. But, that changed after meeting and falling for Aedan Keahi. She found herself shuttering around the son of Pele *all the time* to the point it j ust annoyed her.

### Physical appearance

Cascade is considered a beautiful goddess. She has peachy tan skin, long bleach-blonde hair, which she often has tied up in ponytail-style held back by clips that remind her of the sea. She has bright sea-green eyes surrounded by thick eyelashes. She wears coral orange makeup and light coral pink lipstick. Her outfits are very much styled after her heritage, with shades of blue and green to show her power over the ocean. She also wears a pair of trident earrings and is always seen carrying her trident, Ocean-quaker.

### Hobbies & Interests

#### *Horses*

It's a given that, the daughter of the God of Horses, it's clear that she would love horses. Cascade loves and cares for all types of horses, but she has a thing for pure black ones.

#### *Marine creatures*

The daughter of an Ocean Deity has to have something with Marine creatures, right? Cascade *adores* all marine life but feels the best with dolphins. Growing up in the waters of Neptune, she often spent time playing with the dolphins, since they are playful creatures anyway. She also admits that if she wasn't going to be the next Goddess of the Sea, she would want to be a marine biologist.

#### *Battle Training*

Cascade enjoys training and finds it a relaxing thing - which is weird considering herself. She often trains with The Valkyrie Squad as she finds them the only ones worthy.

### Powers & Abilities

As the daughter of Neptune, Cascade inherited his power over the ocean and water. However, like the other children of the Gods, she does not have her full power, not until she signs her page in the Myth's, Storybook of Legends, Book of Myths.

### How Does Cascade Fit Into it?

Cascade was born many years after the completion of her father's myths. As the only child to take after Neptune, she was selected to be his successor. She was raised in the underwater kingdom of Neptune's Kingdom. (More Coming Soon)

### View on Destiny

Despite being Neptune's youngest child, Cascade was chosen to take over his myths.

## Relationships

### Family

#### Parents

Cascade's parents are Neptune, Roman God of the Sea and Earthquakes, and Salacia, Roman Goddess of Salt Water.

As the youngest child and only daughter, Neptune tends to be a bit protective over Cascade, like any father and daughter would be. Cascade loves her father greatly and shows high respect for him. Neptune loves to spoil her and it's amazing that she isn't a spoiled brat and no one knows how that is.
Cascade loves her mother very much and goes to her if her father is unable to (which is usually for anything female related). Salacia taught her how to be a lady/princess but also how to fight. She didn't care that in some places, princesses were not taught how to fight, she was going to teach her only daughter how to defend herself. In their kingdom, Salacia was not going to have her daughter be a damsel.
#### Brothers

Cascade is the youngest of Neptune and Salacia's children and is the only girl. She has three older siblings, all boys: Triton, River, and Caspian.

Out of her three brothers, Triton is the one Cascade interacts with the most. The exact note of their relationship is unknown but it's a guess that they behave and act like normal siblings: bicker, fight, everything. Triton once broke Cascade's Trident which caused her to hold a grudge. He did quickly get it repaired but she still held that grudge for about a year.
River and Caspain are Cascade's other older brothers. As the youngest in the family, it's quite possible that her two other brothers moved out of the home, she doesn't know.
#### Cousins

As part of the Roman God Family, there are a *lot* of members in the family. As a result, Cascade has a lot of cousins, aunts, and uncles.

Blaze Vulcan is Cacade's first-cousin-once removed, the daughter of her cousin Vulcan. They are very close and Cascade is very protective and supportive of Blaze. Cascade was there from the start when Blaze wasn't sure about their gender and even supported them when they went to get the change to turn female from male. She continues to check in on Blaze since she had a small bout of depression before coming out and transitioning. Blaze is one of the only people allowed to call Cascade, Cassi.
Vesper Divitae is Cascade's first cousin, their fathers being brothers. They have a very close relationship with each other, and like with Blaze, Cascade is protective over Vesper (despite being younger). In their younger years, Cascade would always follow Vesper making sure he was alright, especially during the years Vesper had depression. When he came out as Trans, she was equally supportive.
### Friends

#### Kiyomi Raiden

As the saying goes "Opposites Attract", it really works, in a platonic way. Kiyomi and Cascade's first meeting was awkward and unsure, due to them possessing opposite elements (water and lightning), plus Kiyomi being quiet and a little shy, which Cascade is not. Somehow, the two were able to work things out and Cascade becomes an older protective sister to Kiyomi. And more surprisingly, Cascade has never lost her temper with Kiyomi, which has shocked Cascade's family, where she is known for having a temper.

#### Silje Spearbringer

Since starting school, Cascade has become good friends with Silje, the daughter of a Valkyrie. Though it confuses the heck out of everyone: Cascade is the short-tempered Roman and Silje is the shy and sometimes anxious Norse. What the heck? Cascade finds it confusing too but doesn't care. She finds Silje someone she can confide with that isn't her family - and most of her friends are her family which gets annoying. Cascade also enjoys hanging with Silje and her Valkyrie Sisters, loving to have more female fighters.

### Pets

#### Seabiscuit, horse

A gift from her father, Cascade owns a black stallion named **Seabiscuit**. Cascade *loves* her stallion and is very protective of him. Something that Cascade is currently unaware of right now, is that Seabiscuit has the ability to breathe underwater and gain some fin appearances.

#### Current, dragon

Cascade later bonds to one of Kiyomi's Water Dragons, who she names Current when she wants to get closer to her crush Keahi, who is very into dragons.

## Etymology

As a child of a God, Cascade does not have a true last name. As a member of the Undersea Roman Royal Family, her full name is *Cascadia-Neptuna Paradise*, usually going by the nickname of *Cascade*. While attending Ever After High's Mythology Program, she goes by *Cascade de Mare*, with her documentation having her full name *Cascadia-Neptunus de Mare*.

The name *Cascadia* was chosen to be a version of "Cascade", which references rushing waterfalls. The name *Neptuna* is meant to be the female version of "Neptune". The name *Paradise* refers to areas surrounded by water. The surname *De Mare* was chosen as it translates to *from the ocean*.

## Trivia

* Her birthday is August 18, making her a Leo.
* Cascade owns a Trident, she is always seen carrying around. Unknown to her, her father had her cousin Vulcan make it so it could help control her emotion-controlled powers.
* Her favorite color is cobalt blue, not caring for any meaning it has. She claims she just likes the shade.
* It is hinted, that once Cascade signs the Book of Myths (Mythology equivalent to the *Storybook of Legends*), she will inherit the full powers of her father, Neptune, which could mean she could create water, which she cannot do at the moment.
* Her Social Media name is @SeaEmpress.
* Cascade won Spell Light in May 2020.
* In terms of how she battles, Cascade is a mix between Katara and Korra from the *Last Airbender series*. She can be gentle and calm, but also fierce and powerful.
* If Cascade followed the naming theme of C.A. Cupid, hers would be *Cascadia-Neptuna P. Neptune* or just *Casacade P. Neptune*.

	+ Mostly the loyalty part...
	+ Her birthday is also a homage to Percy Jackson who's birthday is August 18th.
* Her final name was picked by **EmperorPeacock/Airbenderfreak.**
* During her planning, the name "Neptunus" was considered a surname before going to "de Mare".
