[indent] [i]Amazonian Physiology:[/i]	 A descendant of Zeus and recepient of his blessing, Cassie has a physiology similar to the Amazonians of Themysicra. This gives her strength, speed, reflexes, and durability magnitudes greater than a human's, as well as the gift of flight. 

[i]Lasso of Lightning:[/i]   A lasso created specifically for Cassie by Aries; it is indestructible and able to channel Zeus's lightening on it's target. 

[i]Amazonian Bracers:[/i]   Bracers given to Cassie by Zeus at the time of receiving her powers, they are her most commonly used weapon.  Made of indestructible metal, she uses them to both block projectile attacks, but to give her own more force. 

[i]Combat Proficiency:[/i]   Ever since coming into her power, Cassie has been undergoing almost constant training, mostly by Artemis.  She is skilled in hand to hand combat, and proficient in sword fighting.[/indent]
[colour=ED953E][b]Personality:[/b][/colour] 
[indent]Cassie has been told many times; she is the perfect example why teenagers shouldn't be given superpowers. It isn't that she does anything particularly [i]wrong[/i] that often, but becoming an Amazon didn't suddenly make her a mature adult.  She is brash, strong willed, and stubborn in both her actions and ideals.  She believes herself to be a good person, and by most standards she is, after all if she's good at anything it's fighting bad guys.  But her temper is short, and she is often too quick to make snap judgments about people, and very reluctant to change them. Still, apparently she's well behaved enough to no have her powers revoked, and that's good enough for her.

Willfully optimistic, Cassie can be a ray of sunshine to the group of misfits, have had little to no trauma in comparison to her fellow Titans.  She is overall friendly to those she trusts a likes, though even they aren't safe from her spurts of angry frustration that come all too often.  An open book who wears her heart on her sleeve, Cassie can be the best friend anyone's ever had and stick trough thick and thin for her team-mates, but if she finds she dislikes a person within the first moments of meeting them, it is unlikely they'll ever make it into her good books.

[colour=ED953E][b]Backstory:[/b][/colour] 
[indent]Born and raised in Gateway City, Cassie Sandsmark is the only daughter and child of Dr. Helena Sandsmark; renown archaeologist, and head curator of  Gateway City Museum of Antiquities. Her childhood wasn't all that different than most others; her time was spent between school, friends, and the museum.  On occasion her mother would take Cassandra on specific digs that she was invited to partake in, but while she had a curious interest in Greek history and mythology, she lacked the patience to make it a serious study.  It wasn't until Cassie turned twelve that her life became interesting.  

A new historian was hired at the museum and became fast friends with Helena.  The historian in question was Diana Prince, or alternatively Wonder Woman, who was staying at the museum to keep watch over an artifact sacred to the Amazons after hearing that it was at risk of being stolen. Cassie was understandably enthusiastic about the situation and spent the better part of six months tailing the super-heroine as she devoted time to menial jobs. Diana was patient with Cassie as she was with all her young admirers, and even invited her to watch her training; an activity quickly scrapped by Helena, which only lead to Cassie sneaking out to watch instead.

An attack did eventually come, quite suddenly mid-day in the summer.  The museum was filled with cultists from the church of blood, seeking the gauntlets Diana had come to protect.  After being told to hide, Cassie went instead to where she knew the artifact was being hidden in her mother's office. Nearly an hour later, when the fighting should well have stopped on of the cultists found their way inside to find a shocked Cassie clutching the Gauntlets of Aries. Not thinking a child would need much effort to subdue, the attacker instead simply tried to pull the gauntlets away. With no other recourse left, Cassie slipped on the too-large bracers, which miraculously tightened around her wrists.  With a single motion she was able to pull away from her assailant, knocking him to the ground, just as Wonder Woman came in through the door. The following 'fight' didn't last more than a few seconds.

The aftermath over the ambush for the Gauntlets of Atlas had some serious ramifications for Cassie; for one she found out that her ability to wield them meant she was in some capacity a descendant of Zeus.  After a very star-struck meeting with the god himself, and a modest amount of pleading on her own part, it was decided she had proven herself to have the heart of a warrior and was given the gift of the Amazons.  

Sensibly, Helena was less than pleased with her daughter's decision to fight crime, so it was decided that Artemis would train Cassie until they felt she was truly ready to take on the duties of an Amazon. This lead to a somewhat [i]difficult[/i] high-school experience, but eventually Cassie gained enough confidence to graduate from student to part-time hero, and from there was quickly recruited to the Teen Titans.
