Cassandra Coven
Physical Information
Race: Human
Birthday: Season of Summer, Day 45, 490
Gender: Female
Physical Description
Cassandra stands at 5'6", tall with a slender build. Long, wavy dark hair frames a pretty face which can open up to a charming smile when she is happy. She has very feminine features and appears appealing to males of most races. While not exceptionally strong, years of hard work has developed her muscles to a firm tone and allowed her to keep a womanly figure.
Despite this, there seems to hold a deep and enduring pain when one took the time to really look into her hazel eyes.
Character Concept
Cassandra can be charming and engaging - in a tavern setting when she is working. Enough so that patrons would linger to exchange idle chat with her, which she takes advantage of to get them to order more food and drink, a boon to any tavern owner. Regulars at the place she worked in got to calling her 'Cassie' and the nickname stuck.
Outside of this, however, Cassandra is reserved and somewhat timid and isn't the type to initiate conversation with others, especially those who are strangers to her. If left alone in a public setting, she always seems preoccupied, as if constantly thinking of something or her mind is elsewhere. She does not draw away from others if approached first however.
She usually avoids discussing her past and anything about her personal life, even to those who have worked their way into her confidence.
