PERSONALITY
Personality Description: In a nutshell Cassie at first glance is very quiet and more reserved than most her peers at school. Most of this is due to her humble upbringing, where with some it may make them angry they were so poor, in Cassie's case it made her big heart all the more bigger. She's got a big heart that she wears on her sleeve, she has a tendancy to feel things very deeply but is the kind of girl to cry alone, too embarresed most of the time to let anyone know she's hurting.
More often than not Cassie will keep herself to herself, having no issues being in her own company. That said she has many friends and loves everyone very deeply, which makes it harder for her to be around any kind of conflict. In truth she'll avoid it anywhere she can, not because she's afraid of standing up for what she believes but she just dislikes conflict of any kind.

History: Cassie was born to Rosie and Will Bennett both of whom met when Will accidently hit the other woman with a quaffle. You wouldn't quite call it love at first sight, in fact Rosie punched Will for hitting her with the ball before walking away. Taken by her Will chased after her and after a day of asking around the street if anyone knew her he finally found her and after an apology he finally persuaded her to accept his request of a date and the rest as they say is history. After 2 years together they got engaged, Rosie learned of magic, and aside from the little freaking out she did she fully accepted that part of her husband and they had Cassie.
They weren't a rich family but they did well with Will's paycheck. Then at the age of seven years old, Cassie was told by her Mother that her Dad had been killed. Well, in her words he simply wouldn't be coming home, he was living among the stars now. Meant to be comforting but all Cassie knew was she wasn't going to get to see her Dad again and what was worst, she saw the effect it had on her Mum, who pretty much turned in on herself. The woman lost all her self confidence and gradually began to gain weight, not sure where she fit now without her husband.
Still she was a dedicated Mother to Cassie and made sure to do whatever she could for her daughter. Over the years she began to by her daughters clothes from the charity shops, often stitching designer labels in to give the illusion the clothes were better than they were. Cassie didn't care though, she loved her Mum, at times like Christmas of course she wished they had more money, but they had enough for a Christmas tree and that was sometimes all they had money for. Rosie never stopped trying to provide the best for Cassie though and took on three jobs in order to keep a roof over their heads, food on the table and her ever growing daughter clothed. Even though, because of their situation, Cassie didn't really grow that much.
As expected, Cassie at the age of 11 recieved her letter to Hogwarts and despite being terrified and devastated at the thought of leaving, both her and her Mother were incredibly excited. So off she went to Hogwarts and to say the culture shock was minimal would be an understatement. Cassie was stunned but she immediately fell in love with the magical school and unbeknown to her peers she was eating better than she had in a long time, as was her Mother now she only had to provide for one.
The years have passed far too quickly for Cassie, she's now entering her sixth year and soon her seventh and she's very nervous. She loves school, her friends and is a dedicated student though one of the more quieter ones. So here she is now in her sixth year and despite being nervous she's incredibly excited for whats to come...
MUGGLE WORLD
Alias: Nat
RP Experience: 7+ years
RP Sample: Lily didn't miss how different James seemed to be, standoffish almost and she figured it was only natural, considering what had occurred between them only last year. She offered Mary a smile as she readied herself to the front of the classroom, her friend making to hand Lily her wand from her back pocket. James though wasn't quite so co-operative. "Oh, well I don't know about that. Whatever would I choose to do such a thing for." he asked her before swinging his legs up onto the table and kicking down the buckets of soapy water she had conjured.
Gasping she moved back, feeling the warm water splash over her legs and wincing as she felt it splosh into her shoes. The soapy water, seeped over the wooden floor making a mess. Frowning Lily didn't move, instead just looked down at the mess James had made unable to believe he had done such a thing. Of course she'd known he would have been upset with her over what had happened, but to revert to being a complete jerk to her? No she hadn't been expecting that and to be honest she felt quite hurt by his treatment of her, maybe she had made the right decision in refusing to follow her feelings and not allowing herself to pursue a relationship with him.
Taking Mary's wand she forced a smile on to her face though it didn't touch her eyes at all. With the flick of her wand the buckets placed themselves on the table once more full again of soapy water and the water on the floor gone. "Accio wand..." she said, catching his wand with her free hand as it flew to her. For a moment her eyes locked onto James, and quashing her growing feelings for him she glanced away again and smiled softly. "Um, I've been told to give you your wands back at the end of detention and I'm sure you know what to do, so if you want to get started that'd be great." she said, clasping the wands tightly in her hand.
Moving to the front of the classroom she sat on the steps there that led up to the Professor's desk. Picking up one of her books she opened it to a marked page, lay the book on her lap and tried to focus on reading. That was seeming impossible though, she was restless and conflicted. So standing again, holding the book in her hand she began to slowly pace around the front of the classroom, her eyes drifting back to Mary, and lingering on James for a few moments.
