Appearance: By rights the poorness of her childhood diet should not have left Cassandra nearly as well-developed as she has turned out to be. She is 5’3, strong of bone and slight of hip, and she has always found that clothes hang rather well on her. She has blue eyes like her mother and inherited dark, silky hair from her father (or at least she assumes so), marking her as being different from her fairer siblings. When in a trance she becomes rigid and her eyes glaze over and as a result of the loss of control she is usually in possession of a number of bruises on her pale skin. Luckily they are easily covered!

History:

1857: Freya Trelawney gives birth to her first illegitimate child, Sarah, fathered by her childhood sweetheart.

1858: Cassandra is the second child born to Freya, fathered by Cassander Ross, whom she will never know. Freya only knew him fairly briefly.

1862: Miriam is born, fathered by a muggle, who promptly scarpers. Cassandra begins to find it curious that sometimes the things that happen in her dreams happen in real life.

1865: Leopold is born after Freya's old lover briefly returns. By this point Cassandra is aware that she is somehow different, however Sarah and Miriam, and now her new brother, make her feel normal despite the odd images that pop into her head sometimes. She is still more self-aware than Freya is.

1866: Freya is set to marry Abraham Scott, shortly after she had given birth yet again to a girl, however Sarah accidentally kills him with a broken wand, an incident Cassandra sees coming. Oops. As a result the family are disowned by Freya’s heretofore very forgiving family.

1867-1869: Freya works her fingers to the bone at various occupations to keep the family afloat and Sarah and Cassandra do everything they can to help, though they are not always successful. However when first Sarah and then Cassie are sent to Hogwarts despite their circumstances, Cassie is determined to do whatever she can for their mother.

1869: Cassie goes to Hogwarts for the first time and is sorted into Ravenclaw. Despite having second hard books and shabby clothes she is glad to be there for practical reasons, however she misses her mother and younger siblings terribly.

During this time she begins to learn about her strange visions, recognising them for what they are and learning when to keep her mouth shut less she be overheard and upset somebody with the knowledge of their future. She tries to ignore the occasional glimpse she gets of the castle’s future, though she sometimes cannot help but hope she is wrong. Despite trying her hardest to keep it to herself Cassie often finds herself being asked by other students to see their future for them and when one of them gives her some money at the end of her third year she sees an opportunity. During that summer she comes home with a pocket half full with knuts and sickles and does so each and every time she comes home from now on.

1874: After completing her OWLs Cassandra leaves school, with exceptional marks in Divination (unsurprisingly), Astronomy, Arithmancy (which is surprising) and Charms. She finds herself work where she can and considers joining a travelling sideshow as a seer, before deciding against it. Steady-ish work it might be but Cassie would rather keep her dignity.

1876: Her mother falls pregnant because of course she does. Still, Cassie is deeply sympathetic when she loses the baby, though secretly mostly relieved that she still has work.

1877: Her mother moves the whole family to the Slums of the recently settled Hogsmeade and Cassie is only too happy to go somewhere there might be better opportunities. After arriving in Hogsmeade she immediately seeks out wealthy ladies who are after the novelty of their fortunes being told.

1878: Cassie begins working at the Three Broomsticks, enjoying honest, regular work for the first time. She still takes private customers on the side though she begins to find it upsetting to see so much horror in people’s future and be torn over what to tell them.

1882: Freya is pregnant again, by a new lover Cassie loathes. For once her mother is relatively happy and content so she endures him for her sake.

1883: He is killed in an accident a short time later and Cassie pretends she isn't slightly glad. Later in the year Abe gets married to a middle class man, and Freya absconds with the new child. Suffice to say Cassie, Sarah and Miriam are hugely concerned.

In November Freya is arrested, having been found with her child already dead, and to escape the mutterings in the Slums Cassie goes to work in Irvingly, where she is not so well known and she takes up employment as the Irvingly Casino.

November 1884: Her mother is murdered and in her grief Cassie has a moment of madness and goes to bed with an old school friend @'Micajah Vablatsky' falling pregnant because she is her mother’s daughter and her ovaries were just waiting for the opportunity really. She conceals her pregnancy as best she can and hopes people will put her tiredness down to grief.

June 1885: Gave birth to her son, Theodore. He is the best thing in her life, even if she is fully aware that their path will not be an easy one.

1888: As of now Cassie is raising her son as best she can and trying not to think about the feelings for Micajah she simply cannot be rid of..

Personality: Dreamy and quiet, Cassie is a good friend and loyal, loving daughter, sister and mother. Hard nosed enough to know her gifts can earn her a living is need be she does prefer to work normally if she can, finding it unnerving when she sees things unpleasant and has to face the choice of keeping it to herself or seeing someone’s face fall. Charming as her mother, Cassie is much more sensible though she does has her moments of madness.

Other:
+ Later in life Cassie will be a celebrated seer.

Sample Roleplay Post:
"Theo!"

Her son, for whatever reason, found it utterly hilarious to run away from her these days and it was with a sigh and rising panic that she chased after him, weaving through people with a great deal more difficulty than her tiny child had managed. At least he was heading to Whizzhards, she supposed, which might bode well for his intellectual development because Merlin knows he wasn't like to inherit much from her!

"Theodore, come back here!"

Several people turned to glare at her for breaking the quiet of the shop. Fortunately the quiet atmosphere meant Theo's giggles were easy to follow and Cassie ignored the looks she was receiving and darted behind the shelf she could hear Theo behind only to find her son clinging to the trouser leg of... oh fuck, it was Micajah. How on earth, of all the men in the world, had Theo managed to find his father?

"I'm sorry, he got away from me," she said with an apologetic smile. "He's getting too fast for me."
