Character Name: Cassandra Grace Delamara
Age: 22
Gender: Female
Birthdate: July 17 1405
City / Region: Lavigne / Faucheux
House [ Birth, Marriage if applicable]: Delamara
Played by [ please link an image here ]: Ksenia Solo
Appearance [ please provide a text-based description of their looks, preferred clothing and shoes ]:
Cassandra stands at 5'8 with long, thick straight black hair, sky blue eyes, delicate pink lips and creamy smooth skin. Her eyes are fringed with thick dark lashes. She's got a full figure with lush curves in all the right places. She loves the feel of silk against her skin and so a great deal of her wardrobe is comprised of it. While Christina favors shades of purple (though she likes other colors) Cassandra favors shades of red - from the lightest rose to the darkest crimson and everything in between. Her favorite jewels are garnets and rubies set in silver. (Gold casts a poor reflection on her skin).
Specific Skills or Abilities: Cassandra is a skilled dancer and singer, though she doesn't play an instrument as her sister Christina does. She is a passable rider but not expert. She is an expert with needle and thread but her greatest skill is her talent for art. She's even more skilled than Christina is. She can draw with charcoal or pencil but she loves to paint and is as equally skilled painting people as she is painting objects or scenery. She also has a talent for learning languages and knows several of them.
Personality: A more in-depth look at what makes this character tick. Please include character ambitions, goals, virtues/flaws. Once you've finished this, we suggest that you reach out to players of your character's family members and have them read it, the better to help establish family relationships - this is especially important for characters who have siblings or parents in play!
She had been serious child, though through the years she was coaxed into enjoying life once in a while, usually by her younger sister Christina. She is kind, compassionate, patient, and loyal to a fault. She loves art and can lose herself for hours creating something with paint. She is intelligent, charming, even-tempered, fair, soft spoken. She is not very flirtatious in nature, though she does appreciate a handsome man.
Background: A minimum 2 - 3 paragraphs that substantiates the personality along with any skills or talents, and gives us an idea of how this character has grown into who they are right now. Please note - if this character holds a high rank or significant position, more detail is preferred! Also, please incorporate family relationships into your background, especially if the siblings are in play.
Cassandra is the oldest child and was the heir presumptive for many of her formative years. She was given all manner of lessons so that she might take over her father's holdings one day if the need arose. That changed the day her brother was born but by then it was too late. She had already become a serious child.
She continued studying hard with her lessons, feeling that no knowledge is ever wasted and that it could one day come in handy with the running of a future spouse's household. She proved to be especially good at learning languages and speaks several of them fluently. She has always loved her siblings and cousins and thoughts of a large family had always been something she'd wanted.
That changed on an ill-fated day when Thomas, the man she was betrothed to, was killed in a hunting accident. She had loved Thomas for many years (though he hadn't known it) and she had been thrilled when she found out he asked for her hand. When she received word of his death she became despondent and withdrawn and began spending a lot of time in her room.
At first her father was understanding but it's been nearly a year and when that the coronation time grew close Cassandra had been ordered to attend it with her father and siblings, whether she wanted to or not. Now was the time to see and be seen and her father felt it had been more than enough time to begin moving on with her life. With all the festivities going on he hopes to make successful matches for the children who have reached the age to be married and that especially includes Cassandra since she's the eldest. Cassandra in turn wishes she were anywhere else but here.
WRITING SAMPLE:
Evony gave herself one last glance in the mirror before she left her room. Her maid had outdone herself in helping her to prepare for this evening. She should remember to give the girl a bonus. Dressed in a gown of deep blue silk edged with ivory lace at the cuffs and sweetheart neckline. A thin silver belt settled on her hips to better show off their curves. Her blonde hair was held back from her face by silver and sapphire combs on each side, leaving the rest of her tresses to fall in soft waves to her shoulders and both her earrings and pendant matched the combs.
She left the room and went to Kathryn's. Pascale had said he'd wait for her outside the feast room and she had no idea where her father or other siblings were. Knocking upon the door she called softly. "Red? Are you in there?" Kathryn would know who it was; no one else called her "Red", not even her brother.
