Whoops yes my bad I thought I was in OOC but I went to the Character section to get some inspiration.

I'm thinking Adept for abilities as she is kind of star cursed.

[b]Personality: [/b]

Cassilda is a vivacious woman who enjoys the pleasures of the world without letting them distract her from her ultimate goal of transcending it. She has a dark and grim humor when it suits her but can be cruel and callous when irked.

She is fascinated and fixated with death of all kinds, particularly random or unlooked for deaths. This trait is, understandably, not one which endears her to many people. Cassilda respects power in all its forms though ultimately only as an instruction for her own.

[b]History:[/b]

Cassilda’s mother and twin sister died in child birth, her father overcome by the loss of his beloved wife, took his own life. The newborn girl lay among the dead for two days before a kindly traveler stumbled across the horrible scene, wraping the girl up in his cloak he nursed her back to health as best he could, though it might have been kinder to leave the child to perish from hunger or cold.

The early brush with death seemed to mark the child as weird and somehow unnatural. Her hair grew a strange shade and her playmates complained of dark and strange dreams after spending long periods of time with her. Strange and unexplained events began to take place around her.

When she reached the age of sixteen her fae and uncanny nature took an even more sinister turn. Her foster father, a wise scholarly man, recognized the witch for what she was and, loving the child despite all, wanted to send her away to study. Cassilda, then infatuated with a local boy and not wanting to be separated from him ran off with him. The pair were married by a defrocked priest and spent their wedding night in a bower in the forest. When Cassilda awoke in the morning her new groom was dead. 

Fearing she would be blamed she fled her home and traveled the world as a wanderer. Falling in with a band of gypsies she learned some basic arcane lore and began to suspect something of what she was. The traveling folk welcomed her, respecting her skills and overlooking her odd and fearful aspect. These were happy times for Cassilda but when yet another lover died in her bed she was forced to flee the camp. Armed with the gypsy stories she made her way to Castle Bloodrose where her education truly began. 

Working in a field that few touch by choice, Cassilda has been a steady but quiet fixture at the castle for the last decade. Her lair is deep in the castle amongst ancient crypts where she practices her dark arts. Despite what might seem like very good reasons to avoid her, many witches have sought her out over the years when they wish to converse with the spirits of the dead or for one reason or another, peer beyond the veil of life. Cassilda is happy to oblige, provided an appropriate bargain can be struck...

Special Power:[/b]

 Death Magic - Borne under a cursed moon and thrice cursed with the blood of mother, father and child (her twin sister was the younger twin of the mitosis) Cassilda is blessed (?) with the rare gift of death magic. SHe can summon and bind the dead to her will and wield the entropic energies of death and decay.

Things they look for in a partner: Cassilda will work with anyone though she has an eerie fascination with people who have had brushes with death or labor under strange dooms. She covets power and seeks to subtly use all she encounters for her own designs.

[b]Pets/Familiars:[/b]

Mckite the raven. This began as an attempt to call the raven Midnight, but ‘Mckite’ is as close as the bird was able to caw. She lives in the crypts with Cassilda though she is not infrequently scene flying from the castle on some errand better not thought about.

Adept
