They keep their style as simple as they please. Anything loose fitting and oversized will do, mainly of dark colors such as reds and greys. They prefer to wear skinny jeans and the occasional shorts, with an oversized shirt or tanktop, depending how they feel that day. On the rare occasion they can be seen in a hoodie or trenchcoat, but more often than not, leather jackets are their go-to. For shoes they mainly stick to combat boots and flats, like converse or loafers, occasionally even saying heck it and go barefoot.
Cas has always been told they tend to dress like "An old gay man" and they take it with pride. Fashionably rocking the 'gay dad vibe' is their go to and is often an easy way to identify them in a crowd of people, aside from their brightly dyed red and pink hair.

Castiella has been reported as being considered handsomely beautiful by most, and elegantly androgynous by others, which also coinsides with many saying they are the epitome of unorthodox, especially considering they go to a school that used to be very conservative and uniform until recent years with branching out and welcoming anyone as they are. They are considered such because, firstly, Cas has a plethora of tattoos that are usually on full display for all to see, usually due to sleeveless shirts or loose-fitting clothes in their attire when not in class, weather be damned. Cas can normally be found wearing skinny jeans and baggy tank tops or t-shirts, as well as the occasional sweater or jacket, along with their normal everyday combat boots or loafers. aka the dad shoes. They are best described as punk rock due to all of the tattoos, the hair and abrasive nature upon first seeing them in a crowd.
Cas' long, dyed hair is usually styled messily, that is usually tied up in a tight ponytail,or let down and flowing, but depending on how they feel that day. The fancier and less masculine they go, the more glamorous their appearance will be. Their vibe has always been just what Cas goes with what fits them, when and where, never really caring what kind of person they appear to be, as long as they are happy with themselves, that's all they care about.

Contrary to the first impression that Cas gives off, and their overall rather androginous and rough-looking exterior, they are quite the opposite of how they may seem. Upon first seeing them, people assume that they are an angsty, mad at the world type and everyone in it, it couldn't be the farthest from the truth. Once someone can look past the rough, tattoo-covered exterior, they can see that Cas is an incredibly kind, caring, and loving individual who, that once given the chance could prove to be your best friend if so desired. They are also what many would refer to as "That fucking dumb-ass with a good heart."
While they can be serious and work oriented, and even abrasive at times, they know when to let loose and have fun. Always the outgoing one when they know someone isn't feeling well, or in a bad place, they'll happily lend a shoulder to cry on or be there to listen to someone and their bad day. All while giving their absolute attention, as if you are the only one in the world, that you're the only thing that they see. Because it couldn't be any less true. Once Cas focuses on something, whether a person or situation, that is all they can see or focus on. Often times becoming a little unnerving with how much they may focus on someone, or something at a time.
On a different note, Cas has moments of being rather possessive and clingy, once getting close to someone that is, but for the most part, they will give you your space and let you be. From usually having an arm draped over someone's shoulder, their leg ever so slightly touching someone else's, or using/letting someone become a human body pillow. They are very physically affection starved, while also being too scared to fully let themselves become vulnerable. But most of the time they are incredibly nervous of accidentally hurting someone that they tend to be off by themselves away in a corner somewhere. Always being told that they are 'too tense' or they need to ease up a bit, they never seem to be fully relaxed, even if they are with someone that they consider their best friend. They are essentially a walking atom bomb of anxiety and nerves, and it is only a limited amount of time until they may explode.
When it comes to romance or relationships, Cas is a hopeless romantic, but is often times too scared to try to pursue anything serious or long lasting. They may be an absolute flirt and take any advantage they can to be close to someone, but truly letting their walls down and be able to just let someone in, terrifies them. Deep down, they want to be able to pursue a lasting relationship, something that can do more than last a week, or be a hookup that lasts a few weeks, but ever since being turned into a werewolf, they're too scared that they could end up killing someone else or even turning them as well. They may never admit to it, but when Castiella falls for someone, it becomes rather obvious. They become a stuttering, blushing mess that can barely function, to even denying it when someone points out their all too obvious feelings they may have for someone.
Which, is something to note. Naturally before their life got turned on it's head, Cas was a very relaxed person that didn't get bothered by much except for their constant anxiety about everything now. When it comes to people they care for, they have a short fuse. Seeing people they've come to know and care for be mistreated or be in harm's way, makes it become an all too high chance for them to do something reckless. Often causing more bad than good, putting their own safety on the line for someone else is a habit they have been told they have to break, but after years of being told not to be themselves, or that they have to change, they are tired of it and just want to live as themselves. Whatever that may be, they aren't sure just yet. They just hope to one day stop being so...Hopeless, and go back to how they used to be.

Arthur Monroe | Father | Deceased | 28 at his death | Muggle |
These two were never exactly close considering their father was, less than accepting to be completely honest. While their relationship wasn't, it wasn't the best either. From the memories of their dad that they do have, they aren't the best. But a few are mixed in with the ones they do rememeber. But after the accident that took place during their childhood, Cas was heart broken that they were never able to resolve their relationship, especially when they found out the truth later on in their third year. Something they still regret to this day. Cas knows it wasn't their fault what happened to their father, they were barely in the double digits, but that never made the pain of accepting his death any easier. Something Cas wants more than anything, is to get revenge for his death, and their mother's torment. Maybe then Cas can finally find some closer of the old wounds they have of their father..
Elizabeth Monroe | Mother | Alive | 39 | Witch |
As far as these two go, Elizabeth is the opposite of her husband. She knew ever since Cas was young that something was different about them than their other sisters, and when Cas came out to her, crying with reddened eyes she accepted her child easily. It took her some time, but she came around and happily accepted her child for who they were or whoever they loved, as long as Cas was happy and safe, it's all she wanted for her kids. Elizabeth has been Cas's number one fan ever since they went to Hogwarts and they exchange letters monthly to see how everything is going. Even after the accident, Elizabeth has since recovered and her relationship with her children has slowly been recovering.
Maggie Monroe | Sister | Alive | 18 | Witch |
Cas and her never exactly got on the best of terms, even if they were only two years apart. They never really had much in common, and seeing how Maggie was put into Ravenclaw and seemed to have a chip on her shoulder, it wasn't much of a surprise when Maggie started to treat Cas differently at school. She always was a know-it-all and Cas never expected her to change, but was happy enough when she told Cas that she accepted for how they were, even if she thought it was a bit odd at first.
Samantha Monroe | Sister | Alive | 20 | Muggle |
Now these two, they are an entirely different topic. Sam and Cas had spent every moment together ever since they were a child, and have been since. For as long as Cas can remember, Sam had been there for them. The two had a shared love for almost everything and when both Cas and Maggie were shipped off for school when Sam had to stay behind, the two continued to stay in contact through letters and always came to visit during the holidays. Sam knew well before Cas came out to her and has been accepting and supportive of every moment that Cas has been willing to share with her, and visa versa. Cas tends to write her letters of her anxiety and problems at school, usually crush related and Sam bullies relentessly to just go and tell whoever the person is that they have a crush on them, but Cas refuses to listen to their sister.

Despite their blood status and who their parents are, Cas's upbringing was a rather humble one. They were born as the youngest of three children to two wealthy parents that were well known in the Muggle community and her mother in the Wizarding World, while in the muggle world they were but of humble people. Cas grew up with their family in a small house in a small village, up until they were nine years old.
Cas' mother was a kind hearted soul, as well as their grandfather and grandmother, but their father? While he meant well, he was through and through, a bigot. He looked at those with magical blood with jealousy and slight hatred, and looked at them as lesser beings. Cas obviously didn't grow to harbor the same feelings about blood class as their father, but it did impact their life, as they grew to appreciate everyone that had magical lineage, regardless of how powerful or weak they may be. As power and skill comes with time, as well as blood status, but not to Cas. They grew to appreciate life for what it was, beautiful and always having something new to discover. But one day, their grandmother sat Cas and their sisters down and told them that their parents weren't coming home for a little while. That an accident had happened, and that they needed to stay in the hospital for a while and they'd be staying with them for a while. It wasn't until years later that Cas had been told the truth of what happened, as they were still in school at the time due to their grandparents not wanting them to worry about things more than they wanted their grandchild to.
The realization that their both of their parents had been attacked by former death eaters and had been tortured for information made their blood run cold, as well as made them feel like they were lied to. Why was the truth kept from them for so long? Especially after Cas had found out the truth by looking at an old newspaper while on one of their trips to Hogsmeade while on a field-trip no less. Not even being told by her family, but a newspaper. Cas soon sent a letter to her grandparents demanding why they weren't told the truth, and a small rift came between Cas and them, who refused to visit during the holidays. They felt betrayed and lied to, not only by their grandparents, but by their sisters who didn't even have the decency to tell them.
For the next year, Cas had been on a path of self destruction. Secluding themselves away from most social interactions and just kept to themselves outside of classes and Quidditch sessions. It was only when everything was even further flipped onto its head that Cas had to seek out help. They were out on the grounds against curfew hours when it happened. Cas didn't even intially remember what happened, as everything went by so fast and in a blur, there were claws, growls and something that didn't look entirely human that attacked them from the shadows. The next thing they knew was when they woke up in the infermery the next morning. They were greeted by many familiar faces as they were questioned and even threatened to be kicked out due to disreguarding the rules that had been put there for their own safety. But thankfully, Minerva McGonagall stepped in, saying she'd have none of it. Cas had been through so much already and it wouldn't be fair them to be kicked out of the school after everything, especially after it was determined what their new affliction was. Since one of the teachers, and Slytherin coach, Ronan Malcolm, had been the one to have found Cas in their injured state and brought them back to the castle in search of help as Cas was covered in wounds and blood. She wasn't going to let anything happen in terms of expellment.
It's now been two years later and Cas has been busy with their studies, as well as putting in extra effort in search of an actual cure for lycanthropy, there has to be one. And if not, they'd be the one to find it and make it themselves. With a mix of their strict dedication of their reasearch into potions, school, and having to be the Quidditch Team Captain, Cas has had their hands full in recent months and with this being their last year in Hogwarts, they have no time to waste to try to find out all the information they can that they have at their current disposal, that is while having to deal with the full moon...

When Cas was first bit, everything about their life changed drastically. Upon the complete rising of the full moon, Cas is brutally forced to shift and take on the form of a fearsome and deadly were-wolf. This condition is caused by infection with lycanthropy, also known as werewolfry. On the night of a full moon, Pompfrey has made it a pattern to give them a Wolfsbane Potion, allowing them to keep their human mind during transformation. It's essential that Cas always takes the potion otherwise they would have no control over their own actions. A werewolf cannot choose whether or not to transform and will no longer remember who they are and would kill even their best friend given the opportunity once transformed. Oddly enough, Cas is able to recall everything they had experienced throughout the transformation upon reverting back to their human form.
Cas has kept all of this a secret from friends. Allbeit, around the full moon they become more agitated and jumpy. Only some of the teachers and immediate family, know about Cas' condition as they're afraid others may not be so understanding, even if Hogwarts has become a much more welcoming place in recent years and have improved on the safety of its students in.
