Cass is the kind that could run and tumble around the house all day and still has enough energy at night for pillow fights. It can be rather hard to find her sitting still, unless she is watching her favorite show, or fell asleep from eventual exhaustion. Due to this, it can be frustrating for someone who wants her to pay attention on specific things, unless it interests her. Her tendency to jump right into another task because it seems ‘more fun’ only makes it worse. However, if one is smart enough to figure out which button to push and what kind of treats to give (figuratively speaking), it could be extremely easy to trick her into doing your bidding. The girl is extremely easy to read, as she displays all her emotions for everyone to see. She is direct with her needs and would do anything to obtain whatever she wants herself should she be denied it. Her impatience, however, tends to lead to a lot of problems during the process but her stubbornness would usually be the reason of success in the end. Admitting defeat is always the last on her list, as she believes that she can take on anything. Throw her a challenge and nine out of ten you would see her dive head first into it, sometimes out of pride. While Cass can appear bossy at times, she is hardly the ‘leader’ kind. Sure she might sprout the initiative to lead just to get things going, but she never have any decent tactics, if ‘rushing in guns blazing’ even counts as a tactic.

Her lack of social experience makes her rather gullible towards the facts of the world, and of course, the adult world. Should you explain new facts to her in a convincing manner, you’d find her listening intently and nodding to everything. The girl views things in a comical way, such as mentally adding sound effects towards things that happened (like a ‘thang’ when something falls). Her rich imaginations allows her to see all kinds of ‘fun’ in many things, and she loves to compare reality with fairy tales, often confuses people with her sudden fairy tale talk in a serious conversation. Though while interacting with her, many might feel offended by her straightforwardness and honesty. Not just labelling people as ““Big ass!” or “Old fart!”, but also “You stink like dead rat!” kind of comments.

+ Fairy tales (and listening to bedtime stories)
+ Adventure / challenges
+ Games (even if it’s a simple game of hide and seek or sprint race)
+ Sweet food
+ Fruits (especially when they look weird and/or pretty, like unknown wild berries)
+ Outdoor / open air / nature
+ Animals
+ Family (more like a fascination, as she doesn’t know how a real family is like)

- Scary stories
- Being terrified by scary stories
- Darkness
- Bitter food
- Being trapped (will make a HUGE ruckus)
- Losing

Cass was raised in a farm by the countryside, growing up with the nature. Though she’d never know her real family. Her single mother left her with her sister’s family when Cass barely knew anything, saying that she wanted to attempt a new life in the city so that Cass could be raised in a better environment, but never returned ever since. Not even a phone call or news on her well being. The family already had a son who was older than Cass by two years, and they viewed Cass as an intruder, and later, freeloader of their place. What made it worse was Cass’ hard-to-tame behavior that caused a lot of trouble for herself and people around her. Her foster parents were being strict with her, trying to mold her into ‘proper’ girl. But the more they tried, the stronger she rebelled. Never had she thought of those people as family. The only person she really liked was an old lady that lived some distance away from the farm, around the border of the forest. Cass discovered that small hut by accident when she was out exploring one day. At first she called the old lady a ‘witch’, as she collected plants that looked like suspicious witch-blend ingredients and kept quite a large number of cats. But Cass quickly warmed up to her when the old lady did nothing but made her delicious pies and told her fairy tales. The young child would sneak out of find this old lady whenever she could, those stories the old lady told could always brighten her mood.

Hence when one day Cass could no longer stand her foster parents and discrimination from her step brother, she ran out of the house and into the woods. Not to find the old lady, but the spirits that resided in the forest. Of course there were no such thing, but Cass strongly believed that they existed. "They are the life and joy of the trees, able to take away a person's sadness with their warm laughter." The old lady once said. Little did the girl know that she would be spirited away to a whole new place where she could be free from all the restraints and expectations her foster parents placed on her.

- Despite her agility, it isn’t a rare thing to see Cass trip and fall on a smooth road. Once something captures her attention, she no longer watch where she is setting her foot on.
- Though not perfect, she does know how to make flower crowns and weave bracelets. Learned it from the old lady.
- Has wavy hair.
- Has scars on places like knees, elbows, etc…
- Freckles on cheeks and a small amount across nose bridge.
- Her foster parent’s farm has horses, cows, chickens, two dogs and a few cats. While Cass has experience with handling them, she isn’t super good in it.
