Here's my character as a draft. She's likely to change as the story progresses. Tell me what you think. Did you want to go with the whole 'together in the original timeline' thing? [b]Name:[/b] Cassarah Vincent [b]Gender:[/b] Female [b]Age:[/b] 18 [b]Race:[/b] Human [b]Appearance/Image:[/b] [hider=Cassarah][img]http://i.imgur.com/CkPcM8r.jpg[/img][/hider] Cassarah stands roughly 165 cm tall, wears plain dresses on her thin, bordering on gaunt, figure. Her magic is channelled through an ornate ash wood staff that stands as tall as she is. [b]Bio:[/b] Cassarah has been a scholarly type virtually all her life. She was raised with a Lorisian family well-off enough to have her nose buried in books and scrolls in every waking moment. She would read about all manner of things; stories, religious texts, history. Much to her parents' dismay, training to become a proper lady and attending social events with the rest of the well-to-do folk was always seen as a chore to be put off. Since the age of fourteen, her marital prospects were seen as something of a lost cause with her reclusiveness. It took less persuasion than she anticipated to demonstrate what she had learned of magic and to be sent off across the sea Savoyard's foremost university. The first year of Cassarah's studies had her excel and become rapidly accepted in the academic community. She seemed to pick up more magic like she had done so in a previous life. After a while, one particularly fascinating subject caught her eye after exploring the vast library. The demon lands. At first, her study was secretive, as the religious influence on the world made demons a taboo subject due to the way they worship. After three years, she was eventually found out. Fortunately, she managed not to get kicked out just yet, but her reputation has been forever stained by the incident and she is shamed by half the academics that she meets. The unfortunate conclusion of the situation is that Cassarah may be one of the few qualified demonologists in the entire realm. That doesn't mean that she hasn't stopped researching in private. [b]Personality:[/b] Those meeting Cassarah under normal circumstances would meet a girl who is somewhat quiet and withdrawn. She will talk if she has to, but would rather be doing something else. Cassarah has plenty of patience when she is on her own. When there's peace and quiet, she can fly through hours at utmost efficiency at almost any task she puts herself to. When she does it her way, with her rules, she is unstoppable. Any distraction, though, whether it is a chirping bird, a sweeping broom, or worst of all, a pair of chattering gossipers, puts her at unease. She can't get comfortable and swiftly becomes angry. This means that she tends not to suffer the presence of others for longer than she wants. However, this doesn't mean she is beyond caring. She becomes wilfully passionate about the objectives she sets herself, and seeks to complete them despite what frustrations or obstacles lie in her path. This unfortunately means that she hasn't learned to protect others from her own stubborn wrath, even if they are her friends. Virtually all of Cassarah's other expressions of emotion tend to be locked away behind experiences of scolding parents, maids, and governesses, to the point where she seems cold to most people. It is a mechanism for her to keep focus and control of situations, whether it works or not.
