|Overall Description:|
Cassandra Delaney's love for tradition and modesty shines in her dress sense. Unless in training, she will keep her hair down or in a half-up-half-down style of sorts. She prefers outfits like this but more often she will opt for a more practical and simple outfit with a baggy top or occasionally a plain t-shirt. She carries herself with elegance in nothing other than flats, believing to be good for nothing other than making holes in the ground to plant seeds.

Many find it hard to believe that Cassandra could possibly be the muscles of the team. Her gentle and kind nature is certainly not what one would expect of someone with super strength, especially when her shyness is added into the mix. She was expected to be rash and tough, uncaring and unpredictable but she has never been any of those things and holds no desire to be. Instead, she is sensitive and loving; like a flower. Cassandra has always been a walking oxymoron, although she has always believed otherwise. People assume her to be strength disguised in a weak facade, but she believes that her personality is far from weak. In her eyes, her silence and caution are wise and have proven helpful in keeping her out of useless dramas.
However, every rose has a thorn and Cassandra's is her curiousity. Having her head forever held in the clouds can be a nuisance in training when she is supposed to be paying attention. Despite her efforts to focus, she is very easily distracted and the boredom that comes with certain training classes just strengthens that. She often finds herself whisked away in her thoughts of her garden back home or some crazy love scenario that even an optimist like her isn't foolish enough to believe to be possible. Cassandra is in love with the idea of love, but afraid of it all at the same time. She has spent years perfecting the control of her strength and knows that now is not the time for there to be any risk to that. She needs to be control at all times, whether that makes her a control freak or not she doesn't care.
Despite her discontent with how her life has turned out, being hunted by the government, Cassandra is a fairly optimistic girl with hopes of one day returning to her garden back home and her beloved grandfather. She often finds herself wondering what it would be like to have a family of her own one day but, with her anxiety, comes her insecurity. Cassandra has never been happy with who she is, even though she could argue until the end of the Earth that she is not weak, she often finds herself struggling to believe it. But, with a target on her back, she knows this is not the time to be wound up in such silly matters and that she has much more important things to focus on. Besides, self-doubt in a super can be fatal.
✦Nature : Art - Having practically grown up in her grandfather's garden, Cassandra gained a certain appreciated for nature and its beauty. She finds peace with it and spends as much time as she can spare with it. Like many do their thinking in the shower, Cassandra will do her's here. If in need of distraction, she tends to get out her sketch pad and draw the beautiful scene around her of even just focus on a single flower or even just the texture of a petal for abstract work. She loves nature for its small and big things, it fascinates her like nothing else.
✧Love : Romance - As mentioned before, Cassandra is in love with the idea of love. She loves the idea of someone whisking her off her feet and taking her far away from the nightmare her life has become. Someone who would love and protect her, someone who could make everything okay. This is her secret, though. She knows such nativity is dangerous. It is a weakness she cannot afford to have. So, she buries it within herself and has since learned to fear what she craves.
✦Tea - When she was young, Cassandra was prone to horrible nightmares and would often wake up in the middle of the night sweating and screaming, crying for help. Her grandfather would always be there when she woke up with a warm cup of tea to help calm her down. The tea would always allow her to sleep peacefully, so she started to drink it every night before bed and has done so ever since.
✧Mornings : Sunlight - Cassandra has always been a very productive person, a lover of progress. She's never found it hard to find motivation for something, and in fact has rarely ever had to search for it in the first place. She is a girl of routine and is up before the sun every morning, getting ready for the day or simply enjoying a book.
✦Libraries : Reading - Hating the unknown, Cassandra likes to read up on whatever she can. She loves the atmosphere of a library and the dedicated silence in the air. Afterall, it's rare to get a moment of silence these days and it's hard to think with all the noise.
✦The Unknown - As mentioned before, Cassandra despises not knowing things. She believes that, even though ignorance is bliss in some cases, it is also a weakness and a curse. You cannot prepare and protect yourself against something you are unaware of.
✧Being Called Weak - Over the years, she has found that some find it hard to accept the contrast between her personality and her gift and is understanding of that. However, she cannot stand being told she is weak and will never survive it out there just because of who she is. She is strong and determined to prove it.
✦Sugarcoating : Being Treated Like A Child - This could also fit into the above, she seeks to learn the cold, hard facts of life and reality. She wants to know the truth, no matter how bad it might be.
✧Loud Noises : Crowded Areas - Cassandra cannot focus when there is loud noise or too much movement around her. She needs silence to have even the slightest peace of mind. She is very easily distracted and finds it hard to cope when too much is happening at once. If there's one thing Cassandra needs more than anything; it's time.
✦Negative : Cynical : Overly Serious People - She knows that most like to think of themselves as a 'realist', or logical but most of the time they're just negative, cynical people who are just too afraid to think with their heart or gut over their brain for once. And, she knows she can't just make disappear, even though she wishes she could. She has just learned to block out their negativity and keep moving forward.
✦Motivated : Determined - Cassandra never has to take a break to think about what she's doing or doubts herself. She is willing to do whatever she can to do this, no matter what it takes. She is determined to make it home to her grandfather.
✧Intelligent - This is pretty self-explanatory, stupidity would hardly be a helpful trait. Her constant reading-up on things and well-rounded knowledge is certainly a bonus though, although she'd never be able to compete with the brains.
|Flaws/Weaknesses:|
✦Easily Distracted - Training sessions are important and it is, obviously, important to be paying attention. Despite her motivation, she can't help but drift off into the clouds for a while sometimes. It's also certainly not very helpful that she struggles to focus in loud or crowded areas. That's when it counts the most.
✧Slow - Cassandra is certainly not an impulsive person; in fact, she's more the opposite. She struggles to act on impulse and needs time to think before she does. This results in slow reaction times which could be a real problem in the future if she doesn't sort it out soon.
|Fears:|
✦Falling In Love : Never Falling In Love - As silly as it may sound, Cassandra is afraid of love and afraid of never finding it at the same time. She doesn't want to have that weakness, she could get seriously hurt and that could jeopardize everything she has worked for. But. at the time time, she is afraid of dying alone with no one to share her life with. She wants a family one day, she wants that love just not yet.
✧Never Returning Home - Secretly, the idea of getting home is the only thing keeping Cassandra from breaking down. She needs that hope to function. Without something to go back to, she would see no reason to keep fighting. She would have nothing to fight for anymore.
Cassandra Suzanne Delaney was the first daughter of Angelica and Richard Delaney. They were a happy family at first, perfectly normal and still glowing after the arrival of their first child. But it didn't last long. Cassandra was born with her power, growing stronger everyday, until it got out of hand. One morning, Cassandra was crying to be fed and when her mother picked her up, Cassandra held her wrist and without the ability to control her gift she broke her mother's wrist. Horrified by the inhumane strength of their daughter, the couple didn't know what to do. They lived in a tiny village in Scotland, where gifts had never even been heard of. They tried to get help but no one knew what to do, they were about to give up and send her off to adoption when her grandfather stepped in and said he would take her in.
At first, her parents would visit them every weekend. But the visits soon became less and less until there were none at all. Her parents could not understand how her grandfather could make it seem so easy, caring for a child with super strength, and they became bitter. Cassandra was still becoming stronger each day, but slowly she learned to control it; with the guidance and support of her grandfather. He taught her how to be delicate and graceful by teaching her how to tend to his beautiful garden and signing her up for dance and art classes. He did everything he could to give her a normal childhood.
Cassandra learned to forget her parents, believing that they had given up on her and for that they had not earned the title of her parents. They had done nothing but call her a burden, in her eyes. She stayed with her grandfather, tending to his garden and working part-time at his antique store. She learned to control her gift almost perfectly, but never being able to learn how to use it. That was, until she joined the team.
