[b]Name:[/b] Cassandra “Cassie” Fayette Bellerose 
[b]Gender:[/b] Female
[b]Age:[/b] 114
[b]Race:[/b] Half Demon

[b]Appearance:[/b] 
Aside from her demonic heritage there are very few things, about Cassandra that would be considered remarkable. To any passerby she would appear as a young, attractive woman. Not especially tall, measuring only a metre and sixty centimetres, nor stunningly beautiful. 

Discounting her superhuman strength and agility, she is simply a short and pretty girl, with violet eyes and straight, light brown, hair which falls to her waist. She is a slender thing, with faintly defined muscles all over her body, as evidence of long hours spent walking, running or doing any other sort of physical activity.

In accordance with Cassandra's abilities to alter her appearance, she has a few go-to faces with few differences. These two, along with the primary one, are her most common appearances.[hider=Portrait 1]

[b]Faction:[/b] Unaffiliated

[b]Personality:[/b] 
[i]Free.[/i]

That is the one word Cassandra would use to describe herself. Life is meant to be lived, and to tie oneself down in such a way that prevented them, from doing what they wanted is a sin against whoever created the first spark of life. 

Cassandra is a whimsical, fun loving girl, whose sense of decorum is buried deep beneath a bubbly personality. Above all else she is a kind individual with an appreciation for life in all its glory, and in any form. However, even a clear sky become covered in dark clouds, and likewise Cassandra is not about anger or irritation. Should anything, or anyone, threaten herself or anyone she cares about, she will not hesitate to fight it. 

At first glance she may appear to be childish and incapable of taking anything serious, but if one were to spend some time in her presence, they might learn that she is also perceptive and more than capable of being mature with the situation calls for it - sometimes going so far as to even become philosophical.


[b]Bio:[/b] 
Bonjour Ma Chèrie 

My name is Cassandra Fayette Bellerose, and I am a half-démon. Now you might ask, how did the union have a human and a démon come to be? The story, or so my mother tells me, is a surprisingly simple one. She spoke to me of a time when she wandered the world, in search of some new place that she has yet to discover. This search brought her to my father's house in Valenciennes, France. 

He was a simple baker, but even if he was not wealthy or had a lot to give, but when a young woman came by and asked for a place to stay, he offered her a room. But that was not all, for when he discovered that she had no coin with which to pay him, he offered to let her work in the bakery in exchange for shelter and food. Over time they grew close, and with familiarity came affection. Four years passed between the arrival of my mother, and the day of their marriage. Barely a year later and their child was born. 

I am told that I am one of the few of my mother's children, whom she has actually stayed with and raised on her own. For that I am grateful, or she taught me much of what I know I was there to help me understand who and what I was, when finally my powers matured. My father, bénisse son âme, was both confused and frightened when he discovered the true nature of both his wife and his daughter. I consider myself fortunate that he did not attempt to run for help, or to kill the démons that was his family. I do not remember if the exact words exchanged between the, but I do remember the embrace they shared. My mother, he told me, whether human or not was still the woman he had fallen in love with, and that no father should ever lay a hand on their children. 

My mother stayed with him until the end of his days, gifting everything they owned to me, and shortly thereafter went out on her travels once again. From then on I lived my life as society expected of me - as the inheritor of a well off bakery. I married a lovely man named Thomas, and with him I had two children; a son and a daughter. Aveline and Colin, bénissez leurs cœurs, never awakened their powers, and remained ignorant of both their grandmother and their mother's true nature. 

When Thomas died, I stayed with my children for a few years before following in my mother's footsteps. Much as I loved my family, I had grown restless in the later years of my life, and so I decided to explore the world. To meet new people, see new places, and experience what life was truly like. 

Sometimes I look back and I ask myself if leaving was the right thing to do, and if I should have told Aveline and Colin of my secret. But I didn't, à la vie, à la mort, I suppose. 

I suppose that's now you sit back with one final question, no? Ah, yes. My mother's name was Susanne. It is a variance of the Hebrew Susannah, and means "Lily." 

À bientôt!

[b]Powers and Abilities:[/b] 
[list][*][i]Demonic Physique[/i]
[list][*]Even if she’s just a Half Demon, Cassandra inherits the superior physical capabilities of all demons, granting her both increased strength, agility, and speed.[/list]
[*][i]Appearance Alteration[/i]
[list][*]Althought far from as good as others, Cassandra has learned enough about shapeshifting to alter her appearance in simple ways: Hair colour, length, eye colour, and other minor things.[/list]
[*][i]Advanced Projection[/i]
[list][*]A level of Projection magic far more advanced than that of her mother’s. Capable of creating multitudes of weapons, and even control them from afar.[/list]
[*][i]Swordsmanship[/i]
[list][*]Thanks to years of practice, Cassandra’s skills with the sword, and many other melee weapons, has reached exceptional heights.[/list]
[*][i]Battle Awareness[/i]
[list][*]While not a special skill per se, Cassandra’s primary fighting style requires great mental flexibility, and as such she is capable of keeping track of multiple things at once. [/list]
[*][i]Devil Trigger[/i]
[list][*]Like all beings of demonic heritage, the ability to tap into ones demonic power comes naturally once realised. Cassandra’s form is surprisingly humanoid, with a few core differences: Her eyes become a solid, monochrome, blue. Tattoos of swirling patterns come to cover most of her skin, coloured a luminous cyan, and from her back sprouts a pair of massive, and vibrant, butterfly-like wings. In this form, she’s capable of hovering and moving through the air, all the while her other abilities are enhanced; becoming more powerful.[/list]
[*][i]Limited Fire manipulation[/i]
[list][*]Some amount of control and creation of fire has passed from mother to daughter, leaving Cassandra with the ability to create and control fire, but only to a very limited degree. At most she can create a ball of flame the size of her fist, or light up a fireplace, and other minor things.[/list][/list]


[b]Style:[/b] 
[list][*][u][i]Lame et  Âme [Lvl-1][/i][/u]
[list][*]A style that revolves around the Projecting and remote control of various weaponry. Relying primarily on skills and numbers, Cassandra seeks to overwhelm her opponent with hails of blows from a safe distance.
[list][*]In future ranks Projecting minions of various sorts, rather than just weapons, would be possible. [/list][/list]
[*][i][u]Quadra Vents [Lvl-1][/u][/i]
[list][*]A style that shirks numbers and range in favour of skill and focused assaults. Cassandra summons four, chrome-coloured blades each sharper and more durable than anything else. With these she fights like they were an extension of herself as opposed to simply tools. With them being mostly controlled by thought, there is often little movement on Cassandra’s part to give away her intentions, making predicting her attacks difficult.
[list][*]In future ranks these four blades might learn to channel energy, become literal parts of Cassandra herself, or become like an avatar of her.[/list][/list][/list]

[b]Equipment:[/b] 
[list][*]A backpack filled with books, food, and hiking equipment.
[*]A bracelet with three stones in it: A sapphire, a ruby, and a piece of obsidian. 
[*]A sketchbook, charcoal, pens, coloured pens, and other drawing implements. [/list]

[b]Techniques:[/b]
[list][*][u][i]Lame et Àme[/i][/u]
[list][*][u][i]Rho Aias [Lvl-1][/i][/u]
[list][*]Rho Aias is an ability that allows Cassandra to create shields in various ways: From a barrier of blades to a wall of force.[/list][/list]
[list][*][u][i]Tempête Lame [Lvl-1][/i][/u]
[list][*]A simple yet effective technique consisting of dozens upon dozens of swords, axes, daggers, and more, spinning around Cassandra like a veritable maelstrom of steel and death.[/list][/list]
[*][i][u]Quadra Vents[/u][/i]
[list][*][u][i]Taillade du Vent [Lvl-1][/i][/u]
[list][*]A powerful slash in the air sending forth a cutting edge of wind, allowing her to cut larger targets far more effectively, as well as send out powerful attacks from a range.[/list][/list]
[list][*][i][u]Pas De L'ombre [Lvl-1][/u][/i]
[list][*]While not yet capable of creating a true avatar of herself, she can make a fragile and stationary copy. If such a copy is created in her own space, the creation of it pushes her out of the way, quicker than she can move on her own. Doing so allows her to dodge attacks that would otherwise hit home. The “Dummy” is hit, and destroyed, instead.[/list][/list][/list]
