Appearance
Race: Human - Native American/Irish
Gender: Female
Birthplace: Balboa Naval Base, San Diego, California
Appearance: Her diminutive stature is a point of contention to all with whom she speaks. To most, she is short. To her, she is "average height". Her bone structure hearkens back to a tribal ancestry with wide, proud cheekbones. Though her complexion is light to say the least and vibrantly freckled, it is rarely marred by the pimples of youth. Undoubtedly, she is heavy set, but not to the point where if you knock her over she flails around a bit. She was born with teeth as crooked as the day is long. But, Invisilign fixed that.
Her hair is an artificial red, like the blood of her enemie- ... anyway... It's very thin and baby fine, so she often leaves it unbound so that it cascades all the way down to her chin. Wide hazel-green eyes are framed by black glasses and sparse lashes.
Character ConceptHer devotion to the well-being of others is almost always her downfall; she is willing to go to the end of the earth for anyone who she feels deserves it, but often finds herself alone when facing her own darknesses. Her nose is nearly always buried in some sort of story, whether a book or a new video game. Optimism is the cornerstone of her life for she believes that if it does not kill you, you don't have to dwell upon it. Instead you should move on and find reasons to be happy.
Deep down, she is incredibly insecure of two things: her hair (Why can't it be pretty, thick, and long?! Waaaahhhh) and her sense of humor (Well... I thought it was funny...)
Character HistoryNow comes the hard part. How do I tell this story without making it too depressing... xDFor a few years, she lived happily in San Diego with her mother and father. Then, when her mother became pregnant again, her father decided it was time to retire from the Navy after 21 years of service and for them to move back to Texas so that they could be closer to their parents. Cassidy was born in October of 1998, during the most catastrophic flood in Texas's history.
Shortly afterwards, Cheslyn began to attend a small, inner-city private school. For 7 years, she was tormented constantly for being the only white student, creating a host of insecurities and social anxieties, many of which are still unresolved. After 5th grade, her family moved out into the country and Cheslyn began to attend public school. Despite her issues, she began to come out of her shell with the help of a friend who taught her about writing and that books like Harry Potter and Eragon weren't devilish witchcraft like she had been taught.
At the start of her Freshman year, Cheslyn had her first boyfriend. He treated her very badly, mentally and physically, but because he was her first boyfriend, she did not know any better and dealt with it until friends gave her the courage to get away. At the end of her Freshman year, Cheslyn met the boy she would date until the end of her Junior year.
Now, Cheslyn is in the top 8 percent of her class, president of the debate club, and a candidate for admission into Yale University. I guess optimism can help after all.
