Appearence:

Cassandra has long blond hair, which falls past her sholders. It is naturally wavy, but sometimes styled straight or curled. More often then not it is left down to hang loose, but sometimes is in a pionytail or bun.

She has a clear, pale complexion and bright blue eyes. They catch most people's attention first. Cassandra is of average height, not really different either way. she is considered skinny, but in no way skeletal. She has no peircings or tatoos but always wears a thin, white gold chain bracelet with a small heart, which was her mothers.

She dresses casully most of thie time- in pretty singlets and cute tops with shorts or jeans and a few accessories and makeup. Unless it is an occasion fo which she should dress up, in which case she will still embody a look of simple elegance. When she goes out, she dresses up a little more, and tends to follow fashion without making statements.

Personality:

Cassie adores her friends and try to look out for them always. Cassandra's loyal to friends and family and she care about them alot. She's almost always smiling and laughing, its more fun to be less serious. She's friendly and kind, sweet, caring and loving, but does have some sort of a wild side, and is definatly not always her manipulative, controlling grandmother's idea of perfect.

Cassie's not a typical girly girl, she's not pink's biggest fan and doesn't adore shopping. She will dress up, of course, I prefer short cocktail dresses but sometimes longer gowns are needed in upper-class England society. She loves music and parties, though this never gets back to her family. While she was away at boarding school in high school she started drinking at parties and the club at which the bouncer let them in. She lost my viginity at sixteen, but is not really the type to sleep around.

Cassandra has always wanted to see more of the world. Like Asia, America, Australia. She want to be free from all the Countess Duties she may or may not eventually get. Lucky for her, she gets this spirit from her mother. Her father's a noble, and has the attitudes that go with it, he wants to keep up a proper image and wants what he thinks is best for her in the long run, but since her mother died he wants her to persue her dreams to some degree, as her mother was carefree, like Cassie.

She's kind of afriad of not living up to her father's expectations as a person, her grandmother's strictness scares her and though she won't admit it, Cassandra is afriad of total rejection and being stuck, trapped in a life she's not sure she wants.

History:

Cassandra Emily Richards was born on April 17th. at 3:06am on the seventeenth of april. Cassandra was the first child of her parents, and as her mother died when I was three, the last. They intended to have more children, and she was actually two months pregnant when she was in a car accident. She was named by her mother, who liked that Cassandra means prophetess, but it actually means things like 'entangler of men' and 'prophetess of doom'. Apparently Cassandra was someone who foresaw or cause the fall of troy. Emily was her Grandmother's name, and it means rival or eagar. That's the tradition, to keep the families names in new generations. Her Grandmother was annoyed Cassandra's first name wasn't a family name, but pleased her name was used, even as a middlename. The family has alot of traditions because her father is a Count. Yep, they are a noble english family, and as their only heir, Cassandras set to be Countess.

Cassandra grew up in London, England, and saw alot of Europe travelling as she grew up, when she wasn't in the expensive boarding schools. She liked the freedom the boarding schools gave her when she was away from the constaints of my family, as much as she loved them and when I was younger I missed them.

The Richards own two castles in England, one just out of London the other in the country side, and a mansion in the heart of London. Cassandra grew up in the London Castle, the mansion was only really used when her father had buisness. From a young age her grand mother dressed me up and I was taken to various 'dinnerparties' where noble people drank champange and chatted, small talk and that. She didn't really mind, but didn't love it. She often went to such parties and dinners between terms at boarding schools. At school Cassandra had alot more freedom of sorts, and a good group of friends. She had alot of mostly harmless fun, but never did drugs other then some alchohol and even with that, didn't go overboard often.

Cassandra's grandmother bourght her a flashy show pony when she was five, and has been riding ever since. She have three horses at the stables now, Apollo, Zander and Sonata, her grandmother's offered others but Cassie wants to be able to give them all attention and care. She'd love to one day compete at an international or national level, even if she's at a fairly high level now in dressage and hunter / jumper.

When Cassandra was sixteen her father took her out for dinner. The two of them sometimes dined when he wasn't busy and she was home, and he would act like any father as they talked. Except this time, grandmother was sure I looked perfect with my dress, hair, make-up and shoes, when Cassie wanted to wear jeans, nope, it was a dress for her. The driver took them, and they ended up at dinner at the Duchess Fanthom's castle. Cassie had never been or met the Fanthoms but her father seemed to be friendly with the Duchess. The other person there was Alexander, her youngest son. He seemed nice enough, but it was a shock when her father announced that the two of them were to marry when Cass turned eighteen. She was so shocked, and didn't speak to my grandmother or father for ages after, and took to riding more often as it ment she was away from them. Of course, she got to know Alexander, or Alex, better during the engagement.

A year later, Cassie realised that she had fallen in love with Alex, or so she thourght, but didn't yet have a chance to say anything, as his mother had just died. Shortly after this Alex and his father came, and his father called off the engagement, giving them both our freedom back. I was pleased, like any seventeen year old, that I wasn't bound by marriage. I thought I could get over Alex, since he apparently didn't want anything to do with me. That was the last time she saw Alex, when he'd said goodbye. It was three years later, three years of school, some travelling, riding, upperclass dinners and teenage parties, just before Cassie turned twenty that she finally admitted to herself that she was still in love with him. Her father got her to spill, and he soon worked out that Alex was in California working as a bartender. Before she could say anything, Cassandra was on a plane and headed to Central.
