Appearance: Cassondra is tall and slim, but her body is packed with wiry muscle. She is often is said to remind many of a cat ready to pounce. She is always on her guard – always alert. Her messy, short cropped blond hair is often aloud to grow long before its cut just to make it easier to deal with in the long run and so that she does not have to cut it as often as she would otherwise. Her skin is pale, but with a faint flush to the cheeks, giving her heart – shaped face, with its high cheekbones, an almost fanciful cast. Her fingernails tend to be rather long, but when she is nervous, she will chew them. She doesn’t become nervous too often, normally being calm and collected, but when she does, it’s a habit she hasn’t broken. Her eyes are a sharp blue – bright cobalt, to be exact. They tend to dart here or there as she is always on her guard. Generally Cassondra wears practical clothes when there is little reason to wear others. Normally these are suited to what she will be doing that day, and if nothing special is happening, then they’re just comfortable. However, she will wear a dress to gathers and other such events. If she does wear a dress, generally cobalt blue with gold or white edging.
But for all her beauty, Cassondra has a particular flaw. Her scar, which she herself does not see as a flaw, but her mother never could help but see. This scar mottles the shape of her right cheek bone. It is far smaller now than it was when she was 10 Turns old and first received it. She actually loves this little scar – despite how much it had hurt when she first got it.
Personality: Cassondra has always been more aloof than anything else. She tends to be rather quiet and does not waste her words. She is an individual and would prefer to remain that way, not being part of a bigger entity outside of her elf and Tegarth. Despite this tendency, however Cassondra is incredibly protective of people when they are in danger or distress. She is especially tends to protect those who are younger than her. She is very selective about who she chooses to be friends with, this particular group always remaining small.
Cassondra will more often smile to show that she has heard what you’ve said or understands, but can be very congenial if you catch her attention, she is in a good mood, finds you interesting, or you are one of her few friends or potential friends. She prefers not to waste words unless they should prove to be useful towards some purpose, generally one that is useful for more than just her.
Cassondra is fully capable of being good with people when she wants to or has reason to. She is over all, very composed and put together most of the time, keeping up appearances for those around her and for the sake of herself. Despite her composure, she often becomes very upset if someone is hurt. She does have the well hidden soft sport for those in need, whether it be for injury or for friendship and support. She has the capacity to be very mothering.
Cassondra is very strong willed, clever, and intelligent. She fights for everything she wants and never backs down, which, despite her claims to the contrary, is proof of her stubborn nature. She will keep fighting for it and going after it no matter how long it takes. Even if it may take Turns.
History: Cassondra resided and grew up at Fort Hold Hold for most of her life, but about six Turns ago her family moved to Western Hold. There she was quite happy with her family – her mom, her dad, and her six older and one younger brother. Cassondra’s mother had always wanted a daughter and was very pleased when Cassondra was born… But to her dismay, she proved to be a tomboy as soon as she was old enough to walk. She learned all kinds of bad habits from her brothers and father, who encouraged her.
She and her brothers would often ride runnerbeasts, though not all of them together, but, perhaps one or two of them at a time. It was when she was 10 – Turns – Old and she and her dad were out riding, than Cassondra’s runnerbeast startled and she fell. She hit her cheek hard enough on an unseen rock to cause a relatively large gash, which then healed into the scar that now marks her face. The scar did not bother her. In fact, she rather liked it because she felt it made her look more like the tomboy she was.
Cassondra loved her mom, but her mom was truly upset at the mark… And that is when her mother convinced her dad that she needed to be taught to be a proper, calm, and well taught young lady – not some ruffian as her brothers tended to be. This changed Cassondra deeply. She became more stoic and aloof. She didn’t like it. But, she grew into who she is now.
However, it was only a short time after her 16th birthday that her mother passed away in child birth, leaving Cassondra and her father with a little boy named Cassian. Her brothers, three of them with families of their own could not help them care for the child… But the child was sick at birth and passed away when he was only a few months old. Cassondra never dealt with either loss overly well… Especially the loss of her younger brother, who she had come to think of as her own in the few months that she had been the one to primarily care for him. Her mother’s death had not been very surprising, considering how old she was when she had given birth to Cassian. Her father is a very old man now who does his best to care for all of the younger members of his family, and Cassondra tried to help him before she was Searched, but he is one man and she, despite everything, is a Rider who cannot always be there to help, though she does go back to visit her family from time to time.
Cassondra was 17 Turns-Old when she was searched. She was more than happy to be searched, though, at the time, it took some convincing for her father to allow her to go. In the end, he did give his blessing. After coming to the Weyr, she was blessed to Impress a rather small Gold that she named Illia.

Pet

Age: 2 Turns
Size:1’8”
Species: Firelizard
Rank: Gold
Egg/Hatching Scene: Cassondra looked at the pots of eggs. They were expensive, but that was why she had been doing everything she could to save her marks… Especially for this egg. She had wanted it so badly. She paid and soon walked away with the egg, which had a gold sheen to it.
It was that same night that the egg started to shake and hatch and hatched out a little golden queen, just as the young woman had been able to tell it would by the sheen of the egg. She smiled and started to feed the little flitter. “Well, Illia… Seems you and I have our own little family now.” The gold chirped and stretched herself out, yawning. It was a good day and it was good to have hatched.

Appearance: This gold flitter is a good size at one foot, eight inches in length. She carries herself proudly and tends to flare her wings quite often. She can usually be seen on Cassondra’s shoulder. Her back is dotted with lighter brindling over slightly darker stripes that color her spine and along the bones of her wings while her belly is considerably darker. Her wingsails are a lighter color than the rest of her body.
Personality: She is a very prideful flitter. She is very strong willed and protective of those who she deems to fall under her “jurisdiction”. She is anything but shy and tends to know she is a queen and holds the expectation that she should be treated as such.
