DRESS (Style, colors): Kass likes to wear light, cotton white shirts and fluttery skirts in the summer and warmer chunky knitted sweaters and thick leggings with cozy boots in the winters.
DESCRIPTION OF HOME: Cozy, old, Victorian home that has mucho de charm and a welcoming air about it, inside the house is beauty everywhere you look. With the up most care in detailing and loveliness, it has high ceilings, wood flooring, antique furniture, paintings on the walls from a not so distant past with beautiful faces Kass can't recognize but feels "familiar" with. There are five bedrooms, six baths, 2400 sqr. foot of space, a giant back yard that holds a precious gazebo she loves to walk into sometimes and gaze longingly out into the horizon, and there is also a gorgeous vineyard and rose garden. Her older brother likes to keep it clean and she helps him out all the time so everything is spotless for when mom and dad return home from so much time away everything is where it needs to be.
DOMINANT CHARACTER TRAIT: Kass is very selfless, caring, forgiving, energetic, cheerful, gentle and tender.
SECONDARY CHARACTER TRAIT: She can be a bit impulsive sometimes and contemptuous when she's annoyed toward someone, especially when her brother pushes her buttons.
BEST FRIENDS: Roxy Malone, a cool, tough, and sporty girl that looks out for Kass as though they were related.
Apollo is a very good friend she trusts and can talk to, they've known each other since they were kids and she finds him to be just as close to her as Erik is. She isn't quite sure for her feelings for him extending beyond friendship though.
Apollo, also cool and genuinely kind to her, this young fellow has been her first guy friend for the longest time, he did live practically next to her so it was no surprise that they would become close fast. Thanks to Erik, he's always allowed her into their adventurous play times when they were young and they all naturally became like one unit. Even having shared an important moment for Kass as the years went by and they got older, though the bond they'd shared has been loosening? Since high school started, they kind of drifted into their own worlds, only talking to each other when they bump into each other in the halls or at a store.
OTHER FRIENDS: Jenny and Macy Rockbell, these twin girls are always obsessing over Kass' lack in fashion and these dolls will stop at nothing to make her look drop dead gorgeous so that Apollo will not only notice her, but drool for her. According to the, Kass and Apollo were a match made in Heaven, they just need to give Kass a little push and Apollo a wake up call.
ENEMIES and WHY: Kass' enemies include but not limited to the skank group of plastic, fake Barbie dolls that stock the school grounds with hateful stares and terrible insults that would put the devil to shame. And recently, a beautiful new girl with sharp grey eyes and super long silvery hair, she for some odd reason hates Kass and has no compunctions expressing her distaste for the girl.
A mysterious new comer named Besiliana Corvantus that always shoots Kass these icy stares that makes her shiver every time they lock gazes; she has yet to realize why she detests her so.
FAMILY: Her father Sebastian and mother Sophia Deschanel are constantly out of town for one reason of another, work related as they put it, so Kass lives with her older brother Erik who watches over her and keeps everything in order as best as he can. Any other relatives out there Kass may not have yet met, but she hopes to meet other family members some day, it would be nice to meet a cousin or uncle or something.
What kind of person is character with others:
Erik: Being her older brother and head of the house hold, she is aware of the huge responsibilities resting on his shoulders and with his determined, serious attitude for her safety she tries to stay out of his way most of the time (she does this by staying in her room when she's not at school or in her curricular activities), and by helping out in the house by clearing up any messes she makes so that he doesn't have to pick up after her all the time. She knows he cares about her a lot and she loves him dearly. Sometimes she worries that he pushes himself too much for her sake and that ends up in her blowing up on him when she suggests that he takes "time off" from his duties and relax, let her do all the chores and cleaning, but he diligently refuses because he knows she's too young to pay bills and take care of all the work that's left to him, and leaving her "alone" isn't his idea of relaxing anyways. It's as if he's afraid something bad will happen to her if he goes off to hang out with friends or even spend one night at the bar to drink (something he hasn't done since mom left a year ago), so he doesn't and simply ignores her all the time when she starts talking about that. She's frustrated and guilty at the fact that because her parents are constantly M.I.A. in their lives, everything falls on Erik and he has to play both the mother and father roles in her life and he can never have his "own" life. She feels like it's her fault somehow that he's chained to her in some way deeper than she could see. She knows that most people would crack, show signs of wanting to just walk out and leave, but he doesn't, and has never ever complained about his role. She sees in him a fire, a strong will, that no matter what he will always be there for her and that is why she respects him so much and loves him to death. Every time she looks at him, she smiles. Always.
Apollo: This young man is a dear friend, probably the only guy that isn't related to her that is both a friend and well, like family (even if Erik doesn't like him much) she absolutely adores him. As she does with Erik, she smiles at Apollo whenever she sees him, even if for a brief moment. When they're alone together she opens up to him and always turns to him for a guy's point of view on things, and for a second opinion, she turns to Erik. She may not feel any lust toward him do to the fact that she sees him as only a friend and since she's always busy things never get any deeper than they are and when it comes to that, she gets a little nervous and shies away from him.
Roxy: When she faces this tomboy, sporty girl, Kass has lots of fun with her. The chick brings out the "boy" side of her by taking her out on these little quests as she calls them, something new is always to be written into her daily agenda when they bump into each other. When they aren't roller boarding, they're rock climbing, battling it out in intense street hockey games, basket ball, soccer, foot ball, or even kicking back playing video games when she begs the girl to slow down! Most of the time though, when they're at school, Roxy has developed some sort of older sister role toward Kass over the years and she has always been looking out for her. Kass is honestly bubbling with energy with her and looks forward to their trips of extreme sports with Rox.
Jenny and Macy: The twins of fashion! These girls are constantly attacking Kass for her terrible fashion choices, they think Roxy's sporty, casual trends are rubbing off on the poor pretty girl and they had long ago decided to call an intervention and try to save her "womanliness" before it's too late and she could never win Apollo's heart! She has never given them any hints on her emotions to the boy and yet they're convinced that Roxy somehow brain washed her to become another tomboy. Kass doesn't mind these instances at all, when they track her down and find her hanging with Rox, they drag her away for crazy shopping sprees. Yup, they pitch in when her allowance isn't enough to purchase expensive dresses and shoes and even make-up and they go all out in primping her up. They swear that by senior prom night, she will be crowned Prom Queen and by then she will dance with Apollo and even kiss him, this always makes Kass lol at that dream of an idea. She's nothing special, and by then he might have already found someone he likes anyways, she always tries to bring them back into reality with this quote but they never listen to her.
Sees self as: Kass doesn't see her own beauty, just a normal high school girl with quirky friends and a life she isn't sure of too well. She knows she wants to graduate high school and become a vet at college, but sometimes she wonders if that's what she truly wants. She enjoys ice skating the most and secretly desires to be an Olympic ice skater. Though that's a silly thought, she's not that talented (yes she is, Apollo always points out her gracefulness on the ice) but she doesn't think so.
Is seen by others as: A cute, sweet girl that puts her best foot forward to help anyone. A girl with ambition, energy, and a heart of pure gold. Someone you could trust with your darkest secrets, someone you could turn to with any problem and she will go through it with you until it's resolved. A very good girl who seems so well put together and that relies on family and friends to keep going.
Sense of humor: Gentle sense of humor
Temper: Rarely do you ever catch this gentle hearted child loose her cool. What does tick her off is when she tries to course her older brother into doing nothing for the day and him as stubborn as ever disagreeing with her -this awakens her disapproving side which leads them to "fight".
Ambitions: To become a successful Veterinarian, though it conflicts with her inner dream to be an Olympic Figure Skater.
Educational background: She's been homeschooled up until she was ten, by then she was transitioned to a normal middle school, there she met Roxy and from then they've been best friends. After that she's been to a normal school curriculum ever since, currently she's attending high school and is a fourth year student (senior).
Work experience: Kass has started working at the local library, and she also volunteers at the animal shelters which has since then planted into her heart the desire to become a vet and care for all animals.
Philosophy of life: Kass views life as a onetime thing, once you loose it it's gone forever. That's why she lives her life everyday as best as she possibly can and tries to spread her joy of living with others good or bad. She believes everyone deserves a second chance and even gives most people the benefit of the doubt upon first encountering someone.
Habits: Much to her chagrin, Kass has a terrible habit of singing to herself (she always gets caught doing it) and though she knows that if she doesn't want to get caught she should stop but in it, there's a familiar comfort in the action, she recalls precious moments in her life when she was very little that her mother would sing to her to make her feel better when she was sad, or even to help her sleep. Another habit she has is acting before thinking, sometimes when things get serious she'll jump the shark and volunteer into whatever the task without thinking of her own safety or even how it would affect her, even if she messes up in whatever it is she will never give up until she completes her task.
Talents: At her best, Kass is most confident when she is soaring on the open ice, like a princess she glides on the silvery frozen surface and moves with much profession, as though she were meant to live on it. Out there her mind is blank, her focus is entirely on executing the moves she sets in her mind to master, out here she isn't held back by any inhibitions or concerns. This she breathes, even more so than singing, another gift she possesses but is for some reason too afraid to do so in an open audience.
Hobbies/past times: The one she looks forward to is ice skating when the winters storm in and the pond outside freezes, it's even better than Christmas! When she can't fly on the ice, she's either hanging out with Roxy, bumbling around like a bee in her after school activities, or caught up at her job or volunteering somewhere. She sees those as her hobbies really. If ever she is stuck at home and has nothing to do, she's catching up on novel reads, like the Iron Fey Series she has yet to finish (though her friends have already have) or any other recommended read they give her. Even after that, she could be found updating her Facebook or tweeting during her leisure time, taking pics with her Nikon camera and posting them to her instagram, tumblr, or pinterest accounts.
Choice of entertainments: Kass loves to throw girl's night outs with all her girlfriends, though sometimes it gets awkward since her brother never wants to leave the house and prefers to stay upstairs when she does this, nevertheless after the drinks come out it doesn't matter (they all like to drink Smirnoff or wine or whatever Roxy sneaks out her parents' stash of alcoholic beverages) this is when Kass truly feels connected to all her buddies and lets go. This is something she keeps from Erik, though he may be aware of what they're up to though he's never shown her any signs of it and doesn't even reprimand her, maybe it's because she's still home when she gets "silly drunk" and he's just cool about it. When she feels very happy she blasts music in her room and dances all around, even having sing-alongs to her fave tracks. She also enjoys gaming thanks to Roxy and goes co-op in her favorites with her like in Black Ops or playing solo in Assassin's Creed.
Why is character loveable? Because she's altruistic, kind, adorable and the type that would never give up on you no matter what.
OCCUPATION: Works at a library.
CURRENT HOME: Crestmont lane in Oracle Falls Virginia. Lives in a two-story Victorian house with older brother Erik , a Shorkie dog named Icarus and a tabby cat named Zero.
MARITAL STATUS: Single
CHILDREN: None
FAVORITE PIG OUT FOOD: Strawberry Ice Cream & Gummy Bears!
FAVORITE PERFORMER/AUTHOR/SPORTSMAN ETC: Loves One Direction, J-pop/J-rock and rock music, loves Shakespeare, Anne Rice, anyone inspirational.
EVERY NEW YEAR’S I RESOLVE TO: Be more patient with Erik, and always be better as a person and improve, always improve.
NOBODY KNOWS I AM: Secretly wishing for a sponsorship so that I can become the figure skater of my dreams.
I WISH I COULD STOP: Doubting myself and my nightmares (they are very annoying and terrifying)
I'M A SUCKER FOR: Gummy candy
THE WORST PART OF MY LIFE IS: Not having mom or dad in my life!
I WANT TO TEACH MY CHILDREN THAT: Being together with family is very important and that a strong relationship can build a very strong bond between fam & friends.
A GOOD TIME FOR ME IS: When I'm lost in the ice.
THE WORST ADVICE THAT MY FATHER GAVE ME WAS: To keep my feelings to myself and never cry in front of people (it's a sign of weakness or something) and keep a safe distance from people who aren't family. Some people could never really be "known" or trusted.
I THOUGHT I WAS GROWN UP WHEN: I found my way back home after getting lost in the forest when I was nine.
WHEN I FEEL SORRY FOR MYSELF I: Lock myself in my room, blast the music on and cry a little where no one can see me. Or I try to just keep myself busy so that I won't have to think about anything.
NOBODY WOULD BELIEVE ME IF THEY SAW ME: Break down
MY FRIENDS LIKE ME BECAUSE: I'm independent ( I live with Erik, no parents!) and I do almost everything on my own, I like to keep myself put-together in front of others and I do my best to keep everyone happy. That's what I love to see the most, people smiling.
MY PET PEEVE IS: Sometimes it gets me frustrated when Mom or Dad promise to talk to me about something I deem important on Skype and they forget or are too busy to give me five minutes to vent out with them. It's never enough, but I always look forward for the holidays when they can come over and for once we can be a normal family, even if for a while.
MY MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENT: Finally executing a triple-axel on the ice without falling, that was my crowning moment of awesome! I wish mom and dad could see me do it...
I CAN DIE HAPPY WHEN: I'm cuddling with Icarus or Zero, they're just absolute bliss!
I'D REALLY RATHER: Go somewhere far with my family and forget the chains here in this town.
MY MOST HUMBLING EXPERIENCE WAS: Over the few weeks I spent in the summer hanging out with just Apollo in the woods, there he opened up to me and we were both drawn closer at sharing moments in our lives so far, revealing our fears, and our dreams, and ponder our fates until we were irrevocably touched and transformed by each other's life. Though after that summer we kinda drifted apart, it was weird but now I've found myself keeping my deepest nightmares from him, I don't want him to worry so much about it, I've already got Er shaken up over it.
