Name: Cassandra
Class: Archer
Age: 19
Born in: Etruria
Appearance: Standing at about 5'6", Cassandra has long blood red hair that falls past her shoulders, and grey eyes. Her body could be described as moderately curvaceous, with the way she usually carries herself only amplifying that aspect for some. She wears black leather armor that primarily just covers her torso, leaving her arms and upper legs more freedom to move around since they aren't restricted by armor. She also has matching leather fingerless gloves and knee high boots.
Personality: Cassandra has a very flirtatious personality much of the time, and isn't afraid of using her good looks to get what she wants. When things get serious, she is quick to protect her friends and allies, though she also often fights with a bloodlust that seems almost abnormal for someone as young as her, or maybe in any person. She doesn't generally let this aspect show beyond the battlefield though, and that is where she let's herself exercise this fascination with death and blood. In normal circumstances, Cassandra is like most other young women, cheery and mostly talkative, but not excessively so in most cases.
History: Growing up within a lesser noble family in Etruria, one would expect that Cassandra would have grown up with everything she needed and been quite privileged. While this was the case, there were also many complications along the way, as Cassandra's fascination with death became apparent from a relatively young age, when she found a young bird that had fallen from its nest just a few minutes before she found it. The small animal was barely alive when the ten year old Cassandra found it, and rather than walk away, curiosity made her stay, and she crouched down, and observed the bird's final moments as it struggled to stay conscious. When it finally stopped breathing, Cassandra simply left it there, moving on with her day, though the fascination, borderline obsession with those last few moments of life in an organism would linger to this very day.
Her parents didn't do much themselves to actually raise her, leaving most of that to servants and the like, with her father being there for her even less than her mother. Cassandra was usually able to convince the servants to let her practice archery in the courtyard, despite their insistence that she probably shouldn't, for the safety of herself and others. She caught on pretty fast, despite being self taught, and pretty soon, she wished she could leave home and put her skills to better use, so that's what she did. Many times, she would sneak into town, entering archery tournaments if they were happening, and talking with some of the local boys, which usually resulted in her teasing them in some way or another before leaving the scene. However, this sneaky way of living couldn't last.
Eventually, her parents found out what Cassandra was doing when she was around 16 years old, either through servants or other locals of the town, possibly both. They felt that Cassandra's behavior was shameful to the family name, and so they gave her an ultimatum: If she chose to, she could continue doing what she was doing, but if she did, she'd be ostracized from the family and left on on her own to fend for herself. To their surprise though, Cassandra quickly replied that she would continue as she had already been doing, and gathered up her basic belongings from her room before leaving her home, not too saddened by the loss of her family, and if anything happy that she didn't have to sneak to be herself anymore. She immediately fled south to Lycia, wanting to get far away from her family, and since then, for much of the past 3 years, she has worked as a mercenary, primarily operating within the territories of Lycia.
