Basics:
Face Claim: Lauren DeGraff
Name: Dorkas Ann Faulkner
Age: 17
Gender: F
Species: Witch
Height: 5'8
Fashion: Cassie prefers comfortable clothing to anything else, and despite her tiny frame she apparently has an immunity to cold weather. She loves wearing shorts and t-shirts most of the year and will only switch to pants if there is snow on the ground. She's also very fond of converse.
Physical Description: Cassie is tall and thin, almost unnaturally so. Her hair is a sandy, somewhat strawberry blonde, and she freckles in the summer sun. She gets her hair and eyes from her mother and is proud of it. She moves lazily most of the time, but when she gets excited about something you can see it in her whole posture.
-Personality-
Description: Cassie is laid back and relaxed, and loves to spend time with friends. It's not that she can't do well in school, or with her spellwork, but more that she gets bored and doesn't like to spend time on things that don't capture her attention. She loves dance because it lets her move, and she can melt into it. She doesn't feel the same itch to move or do something different when she is dancing.
Habits/Hobbies: in dance classes, doodles in her notebooks, favors the 'work smarter not harder' philosophy, often turns in assignments late
History:
Cassie Faulkner is the only child of Maria Faulkner, and no one else. Her 'father' was a sperm donor only, who has no rights and no name or face as far as Maria and Cassie are concerned. She was raised to be a strong, independent young woman, by a strong, independent, slightly less young woman. She and her mother get along swimmingly because Maria always explains why Cassie is or isn't allowed to do things, and encourages her daughter to pursue her interests.
The only thing the two fight over is Cassie's school work--Maria insists that it's important, but Cassie doesn't see the point in putting energy into mundane nonsense she'll never use again.
Perhaps the most noteworthy event in Cassie's life was the bond made with her familiar, tobias , when she was only 4 years old. Tobias had been bound to her grandmother before she passed, and when the family knew the time was near, it was necessary to transfer Tobias's bond so that he wouldn't pass along with her. The three took part in a joint ritual to bond Tobias to Cassie's life-force and magic instead, although he took a portion of Dierdre's magic with him as well due to their bond. This magic would also enhance Cassie's spell work, if she ever bothered to complete a spell.
Since their bond was made, Tobias has been looking out for Cassie. He babysits when her mother is unavailable, helps her with school and spell work, and even attends her dance classes (although he already knows several forms of ballroom dance, thanks to his last (almost) four lifetimes spent with witches from an honorable family. Tobi and Cassie bicker far more than she does with Maria, but the two of them truly do care for each other.
Family/Friends: Mother: Maria || Familiar: Tobias || Friends: Nolan Salvatori , Caitriona "Kit" Grey , Malaika Peters
Neighborhood: Old Town, family home, small, painted yellow, run down
Secrets:
- She totally does think that Tobias is attractive but she'd rather die than admit it.
- She managed to track down her genetic father--he's part of another coven in Portland. She did some Facebook snooping, and he seems like a dick. She decided she liked it better with just Maria.
