She has special fireproof clothes, but her regular dress is more regular and urban. She's a little on the short side, and doesn't weigh much. Her skin is light brown, her hair curly. Though fire doesn't burn her, it does make her skin sooty black, changing the actual pigment and not just leaving a residue. It fades after a few hours, but even so, she finds it hard to hide when she's been using her elemental power.

[b]Personality:[/b] Cassandra is someone who thinks and acts quickly, for better or for worse. She has good manners ingrained strongly, but once formalities are out of the way, it's fair game. Because of her peculiar upbringing since the age of ten, Cassandra is unused to being around people her own age, or indeed anyone who is a peer or equal, rather than a superior in some way. She is still impressionable enough that her social skills are likely to be shaped and possibly changed drastically by how her classmates behave and treat her. 

[hider=Bio] Cassandra entered the school immediately upon her awakening, and with an air of infamy and expectation. Neither feelings were from anything she had done. 
Cassandra came from an out of the way town(the kind with one McDonald's, and no Walmart), and until she was ten years old, had an older brother, Able. Her brother was a mage, with a powerful affinity for the element of life. But he Awakened early. Normal circumstances would have him contained so he could not harm himself, but the local Count was lax, and it was another Vampire altogether who discovered Able. The vampire, William Hess, belonged to no particular family(whether by choice or not, Able never knew) and saw the opportunity to have a mage unregistered, and unknown by the Moonlight Council. Never having a mage before, or been around them in general, William underestimated the risks, and overestimated the reward. Able was strong, very strong, but that would be the undoing of both. 

His family never knew about the awakening. Able, coerced by his impromptu partner, kept his magic a secret. As his body degraded, be did his best to grin and bear it, but Cassandra, who was close to him, knew something was seriously wrong. Her parents didn't believe her, at the age of ten, and just believed Able was sick during the last few weeks of his life. 

An experiment prompted by Hess finished the job of destroying his body, drastically altering it in the process. Hess fled, having no real feelings for Able, and left him to die. He was found, and lived long enough to tell his short, but sad story to an agent of the Moonlight Council. His family was never shown the body, the agent's mage cremated it the moment he stopped breathing.

Though Able made no mention of any other parties, and it seemed clear they had never known about this, the Roth family was put under surveillance that continues to this day(though now disguised as tutors and helpers for their remaining child). Within an hour of Cassandra's own early Awakening, a mage was at her bedroom door to seal her power away. As should have been done for her brother. 

Cassandra and her whole family were spirited away to a new city and a new life, somewhere the Council could not only watch, but guide Cassandra's development. She was tutored, taught those skills most useful to a future vampire partner, though without the ability to put any of the magic into practice. 

Though she knows it's just another stage of the vampires keeping eye on her, Cassandra is excited and hopeful that her time at Noila Academy will put her on more equal footing with some of the vampires, and her life will cease to be controlled as strictly. [/hider]
