Alright, so I really, reeeeally don't like the way this came out that much, but I wanted to at least have SOMETHING to post for Cassandra before I was forced to relinquish her element, haha. Anyway I mussed with it a bit in Photoshop so it looks a lot better now than it did on paper, haha. Namely went over the face/skin base and re-did a lot of the lines in the face so they came out looking cleaner and whatnot. Oooh how I love this programmmmmm. *strokes creepily*

FFFFF I already want to change her outfit. Goddamnit. X) WELL I was looking up Victorian coats and jackets and stuff and it gave me a lot of reeeeally cool ideas for her. Also I realized that Repo! is kinda steampunk-y. O: GLEE! Re-designing will be so much fun, oh man. I am already thinking of an outfit for her for Dawn's Edge! 8D It will be her favourite world, I can already tell~

Once again, for ! 8D

Name: Cassandra Jones
Nicknames: Cass, CJ, Cassie
Age: 23
Personality: Stubborn, self-assured, and attracted to danger, Cass is pretty much convinced she can do basically anything on her own, and will do almost anything to get what she wants, to and include offering her body, money, and services to suit her needs. Which is not to say she doesn't have her standards! She also likes to do the initiating, as far as flirtation goes, and if she doesn't approve of someone hitting on her and/or thinks they're a slimeball, she won't hesitate to punch them in the face, call them a scumbag and walk out. In other words - if she doesn't want to be touched, she won't be. Although she does like to be touched/touching...

She likes bad boys, and leather, muscles, and tattoos turn her on. She's also rather forward, blunt, generally fairly forthright with her feelings on a subject (though less-likely to express genuine feelings of being hurt by something) and is a HUGE flirt. She enjoys harassing boys she deems "innocent" and "inexperienced" (i.e. THOMAS and JIM *nudgenudge*) by hanging all over them and shoving her boobs in their faces. She's also rather forward with her sexual exploits, which embarrasses and flusters Jim to no end, and he is constantly following her around yelling at her to stop talking to the students about inappropriate things. "THIS IS A PLACE OF LEARNING, CASSANDRA - LEARNING!!" "*waveshand* Well, I'm teaching them something!"

Eye Colour: Very pale gray
Hair: Naturally dark red/burgundy, very curly (think Nadeshiko from CCS, though not as long); falls about the base of her shoulder blades when left down, though she usually pulls it back in a bun to keep it from getting in her way
Body Type: Curvy, packin' heat (big boobies and a big ass, big thighs, tiny hands <3), padded nicely
Accessories: A lacy black choker with three silver necklace chains hanging across the front; she usually wears her trash-can-lid keychain hanging from the bottommost chain.

Affiliation: the Academy
Ability Level: Mentor; currently unmatched and without an apprentice
Generation: Second

Weapon: Boom Boom Clang (Cass just calls it Boom Boom, or BB for short)
Object of Derivation: trash can lid (don't laugh or she WILL cut you)
Ability: Reverberation
Ability Description: Simply put, when Cass whacks things with her keyblade, it emits sort of like an amplified sound wave which has tangible, physical force and ripples outward like a, well, like a ripple, shattering windows and knocking enemies off their feet, depending on the force of the blast. Hitting different objects with her keyblade results in varying intensities of reverberation blasts; striking a rock or a hard metal object, for example, would result in a very loud, very strong, very intense blast being emitted from her keyblade, capable of knocking down enemies and moving other objects within the blast radius, whereas hitting something soft like flesh would only result in a dull clang and little if any reverberation power. It also sounds different depending on what it hits - metallic items elicit a sharper, tinnier sound, something like a rock might emit a deeper more gong-like sound, etc. Generally it sounds like a very loud gong when struck properly. (:

Extras: Every time she strikes an opponent it makes a small, dull, gong-like noise, and in-game tiny copper-coloured notes would also erupt all around it. SUPER CUTE RIGHT? The shaft (*snort*) also looks like crumpled metal, sort of like aluminum foil when you crunch it up and unfold it again. The three pieces at the tip are like bent/curled up metal garbage can lids and they work like funnels to amplify the noise from the blade. When she hits things, the entire keyblade vibrates, the vibration traveling down the shaft from the tip where the blade struck the object/enemy; particularly hard hits will make her whole body shake.

Homeworld: Repo! The Genetic Opera
Backstory: Though of hearty stock, Cassandra was a relatively frail girl, as she had inherited her mother's weak lungs, and constantly had trouble breathing. During the organ failure epidemic her lungs finally gave out altogether and her parents, who were already quite poor after caring for her frail mother for so long, were faced with a decision: owe GeneCo or lose their daughter. They chose the former. Cassandra was twelve.

Her mother died one year later, and her father, who was also quite sickly, died a few years after that, when Cassandra was eighteen. Inheriting her parents' genetic weaknesses and now their debt as well, she took a job as a gossip columnist to help pay off the loan on her lungs. She was quite good at it, as she had always enjoyed gossiping, even (perhaps especially) while bedridden for her failing lungs, and soon took to following the Largos around, bribing bodyguards to get the inside scoop, and constantly shoving recording devices in their faces whenever they appeared publicly.

One night when she was walking home through a particularly dark alley after a full day of catching up on the latest gossip, she was startled by the sound of a trash can falling over. Turning, she was faced with a humongous beast with glowing yellow eyes, which quickly knocked her to the ground, sending her flying into a nearby garbage can. As the creature lunged again, she grabbed the nearest thing to defend herself with - a fallen garbage can lid - and held it in front of her face, squeezing her eyes shut, anticipating the impact.

Instead of a jolt there was a flash of light, and when she opened her eyes she was holding a strange weapon-like object, almost as tall as she was, that strangely resembled a garbage can all twisted and molded into the shape of a key. Without more than a few moments to think, she attacked the beast, and after a few blows to the head, it ran off into a cloud of black smoke, wailing from the intense ringing in its ears. As soon as the creature disappeared the weapon shrunk into a smaller version of the garbage can lid, strung along a small silver chain. Wonderingly, she put it in her pocket and returned home.

She discovered Jim and the Academy several days later (after taking the strange weapon out a few times and playing around with it in her living room) when she was on her way to work and felt the small object change in her pocket. Taking it out she realized it was now a silver key greatly resembling its weapon form. Curious, she inserted it into the doorknob, and it led her to a small town. Once there she entered the nearby diner where she encountered Jim, who recognized her keychain for what it was immediately and invited her to join the Academy, which was still being refurbished at the time.

While initially playing coy and hesitating, Cassandra soon realized she had nothing much worth staying for in her own world, and, her curiosity and desire to visit new worlds far outweighing her desire to stay and pay off her organ debt, she packed up her things and returned to Jim's world the very next afternoon. Jim's Academy intrigued her, she told him, and she wanted to join. Immediately she began training directly under Jim, helping rebuild/clean up the facilities when she wasn't training, until she became skilled enough to become a Mentor. She now serves primarily to collect new recruits, often taking a student/trainee along with her, and also helps clean around the Academy while looking for a student worthy of becoming her Apprentice. She also acts as chief liaison to any and all Rogue keybladers she comes across/can find, keeping tabs and files on them and at least keeping in contact with them if she cannot convince them to join the Academy.

Extras: About a year before gaining her keyblade she was late on her lung payments because the newspaper she worked for was fighting bankruptcy and the paychecks were late. To avoid organ repossession she seduced the repo man sent to take her lungs, and had a torrid love affair with him up until the acquisition of her keyblade. His current whereabouts are unknown.

She also took out several additional loans on various surgeries to help her cope with her genital weaknesses. She is now relatively healthy and stable (though very overdue on her payments), and can function just fine with only occasional coughing as a lingering side-effect of her mother's lung diseases.

The short of it: She was a reporter who harassed the Largos regularly, gained her keyblade when attacked in an alley by a big ol' nasty heartless (probably a Tank), first found Jim several days after that when she discovered her keyblade's world-traveling ability, was recruited by him, came on as a student when the Academy was still in the works, and graduated to Mentor-level about six months after that. She is now a mentor whose primary job is recruiting new Academites and keeping tabs on Rogue keybladers, and she does not have an apprentice.
