Physical Description:
At first glance, you will notice the burnt colors of orange cascading down Cassielās back in soft waves. Its full length reaches passed her waist and towards her mid-thighs; unnecessarily long some say. It is usually styled a myriad of ways, the most common: a ponytail. It is often questioned if her hair color is natural, or if she dyeās it. Of course, sheāll never give you a straight answer, however; it is most definitely natural. The question is brought upon because of its unusual tone. Mixtures of orange, red and yellow inhabit Cassielās pate giving a mock sunset feeling to it. On very rare occasions, Cassiel will pull her hair back in a half ponytail. Sheāll curl the bottom half and leave pieces of her bangs down to frame her face. Her body is one most women often dream of, however; she does not like her body and often tries to cover it up in loose clothing and other articles she can find. Curvaceous and full, one could compare it to an hour-glass figure. Weighing in at one hundred and thirty-five pounds, most of the weight comes from the lean muscle corded throughout her body. Even though running a bakery leaves little personal time, she still manages to participate in self-defense classes to maintain her physique (even though she hides it from the public).
Have you ever noticed the pebbles trapped beneath the stream of water? Then you would know exactly what color portray Cassielās eyes. Deep, penetrating, and intriguing wrapped up in two little balls of gray surrounded with black. She has large, expressive eyes that are ironically hard to read. They are defined by thinly rounded eyebrows set high. Her skin has been kissed by the sun lightly and has a nice hue to it. She isnāt pale in no means and takes pride in her skin. The question of going to tanning saloons is often brought up as some do not believe that her skin is natural. If you ask, she wonāt answer leaving it up to your imagination to determine whether or not itās natural or artificial. If you look closely, she has a scar over her left shoulder. It hasnāt healed properly and is an ugly scar. She received it during the accident and is a constant reminder of that night. She has a small tattoo of a tribal humming bird located on the inside of her wrist. It was her best friends favorite animal.
āBehind The FaƧadeā
Habits:
Chewing her lip is one of the worst habits Cass has. She tends to chew on the inside of her lips when she is in deep thought, nervous, or extremely bored. She also subconsciously does this as well when she zones out. It has gotten to the point where she will occasionally make her bottom lip bleed for extensive biting. It doesnāt bleed profusely but it does bleed for at least four minutes straight. Being lost in thought is also a habit she needs to break. Occasionally she will lose focus on what she was doing and begin to concoct different ideas or just tends to daydream a lot. She doesnāt do this on purpose, but she blames it on having A.D.D. (which is not true, she just wonāt admit it). Another habit she has is a tendency to mumble when she is trying to explain something. She gets carried away with describing things and on more than one occasion has brought up multiple topics when addressing one.
Likes:
The cold, whether itās winter time or not, she enjoys the cold. Much like her dislike for Summer time, Winter time is probably her point of ecstasy. She doesnāt understand really why she likes the cold so much; maybe itās because of the accident or perhaps she finds some sort of solace, it isnāt exactly clear. Water is also something Cass likes. Not drinking water, but water in general; like a lake or pool. She loves the feeling of it against her skin and could take a shower for hours if she could. Of course, on occasion she can go a bit overboard with water and usually gets wrinkled because of it. Reading on her breaks or when she isnāt overwhelmed with work, is something she enjoys thoroughly. Her love of reading has led to her passion with Stephen King books. She has read almost all of the books he has written and by far her favorite would be The Cell (not the movie with Jennifer Lopez). Singing is probably something she enjoys more than water. Of course getting her to sing in public is probably more work than itās worth.
Dislikes:
If there was something in the world that Cassiel disliked, it would be coffee. She hates the taste but ironically loves the smell. She used to make it for her father often and when she was seven, took a sip of the black coffee. She was sick for the next four days because of the strong taste. She tries her best to stay away from it now. Summer oddly enough, she dislikes very much. She doesnāt like sweating and the heat during summer time is usually unbearable. Summer time is just something she doesnāt look forward to. Overly aggressive people annoy the crap out of her. She doesnāt understand why they have to be so hostile and usually she becomes hostile herself. She doesnāt appreciate becoming so and tends to stay away from people like that. She doesnāt want it rubbing off on her. If anything came second to coffee, it would be Pranksters. She doesnāt like being pranked and has (on accident mind you) punched a person in the face for doing so. She gets startled very easily, hence why she doesnāt like being pranked. Plus she really doesnāt have a good sense of humor and takes things very seriously.
Fears:
Driving is her most, irrational fear she has. She has been scarred by the accident and refuses to drive a car. She walks to work and if she needs something, sheāll usually send one of her employees to go get the products. Failing Delilah is something she desperately fears. She promised Delilah that she would fulfill both of their dreams and even though so far it has succeeded, she is afraid that there might be a point where her business might fail and go under.
Strengths:
There are many perks to being a restaurant owner and one of them is having a keen memory. She can remember faces and numbers about as well as her back hand. Cooking, or rather baking, would have to be a personal strength for herself. After the incident with her parents and Delilah, Cass took it upon herself to bake to make sure that she could run the bakery with her products that were made. Of course over the years sheās had to hire two other bakers to keep up with the orders, but she doesnāt mind that. Her love of learning is probably her greatest strength. She is always willing to learn something new and quite frankly, her motto, or rather saying, would be āyou learn something new everyday.ā
Weaknesses:
Good Food is one of her major weaknesses. Not necessarily expensive food, but anything that is pleasing to her palate. So far her favorite happens to be Chicken and broccoli with steamed rice. She will be your best friend if you make this for her or bring it to her. Horror Movies as odd as it seems, are another weakness of hers. She loves to watch them in her spare time and has no biased to who makes them. She even watches the obviously low-budget with no actual plot horror movie and enjoys it. Loyal to a fault. It would have been a strength if she didnāt care so much about her friends. Perhaps itās her loyalty to Delilah, or perhaps she just doesnāt want something bad to happen to them, sheāll never know.
Personality:
Sheās a little rough around the edges with a few broken lines here and there. If you take a sand paper to her, you might be able to soften her up a bit and see the person she really is. Despite the rough edges, Cassiel can be quite the character. Running a bakery and working it isnāt an easy task for most people and it can be quite stressful. Cassiel makes it her point to be up and friendly to keep from becoming too stressed. She is extremely protective of her employeeās and will make sure that they are satisfied and happy. She doesnāt take kindly to those who insult her or her employees and has been known to get quite physical should the situation call for it. She is a girl who can hold her own and has proven it on more than occasion. She doesnāt tolerate people who come off rather intimidating and demanding. She has refused service to more than one person, but it was all for good reason. She lacks a sense of humor. If someone were to try and tell a joke, she wouldnāt follow them and would be confused. As friendly as she is, Cass has a hard time trusting people. It isnāt because she was jaded or anything, sheās never really had any other friends beside her employeeās and Delilah. She trusts them, but anyone else will have a hard time earning her trust. Even with opening the bakery, she is still trying to open up a bit with that.
āMy Past and My Presentā
Family:
- Father: Nazir Fenix ā Probably where Cassiel gets her looks from. He died in a car accident when Cassiel was young.
- Mother: Jona Fenix ā Spunky woman she was. She died in a car accident when Cassiel was young.
- Friend: Delilah Straus - A sweet young girl who was Cassiel's best friend. She died in a car accident when Cassiel was young.
History:
Cassiel was born to Nazir and Jona Fenix in Southern Texas. She grew up mostly a happy child with a few bumps in the road. Her parents decided to move to River Lake when Cassiel was five years old. The first thing Cass did was make an immediate friend. Her name was Delilah. The two were nearly inseparable as children, and as teenagers, were so close some would say that they might have been lovers. This, however, was not the case. Cass was an only child and having Delilah around was like having a sister she never had. One day, Cass and Delilah decided that once they were old enough, they were going to open their own bakery shop. Of course this was just a dream at the moment and both girls took to odd jobs to save money to buy a place. At the age of fourteen years old, both girls had raised a significant amount of money, at least to them it was. This happiness was short lived. On the way home from a night at the movies, Cassiel was involved in an accident with her parents and Delilah. She was the only survivor and this caused some emotional scars that she has not fully recovered from. She was sent to live with her aunt a few blocks down from her old home.
Instead of becoming depressed about her parents and Delilah, Cass decided she would fulfill Delilah and her dream and continued to raise money. Eventually, at the age of eighteen, she was able to raise enough money to put down on a decent sized place and open her bakery. She decided to name it Delilahās Gourmet, after Delilah since it was their joined dream. She, of course had help starting the business out from her aunt who co-signed the lease for her as she was still a bit young to own a building. She didnāt know how popular her bakery would become until a year later when a growth in business started. She decided she would hire at least two people to help her run the new orders that would come in. After a few months of doing so, she needed to expand her employeeās and hired fifteen new people. Out of the fifteen, only four were chosen to do over-night production and orders with her as she worked the mid and over-night shifts. This caused strain on Cassiel and she almost sold the bakery to someone who was interested in buying it for a large sum. Her aunt was the one to convince her to keep the bakery and to hire a few more people, or promote some that she had, to a co-manager to help ease the burden of having all the responsibility on her shoulders. Cass agreed and promoted the four employees. After seven years of business, she is enjoying a flourishing business and four new friends whom she is very protective of.
