HISTORY ;;
The first clear memory Cassidy has is holding her sister's hand at the entrance to the orphanage. She can't recall who left them there, or anything before it, just being four years old and holding her sister's hand tightly, never knowing what a difficult road lie ahead of them.
Lady Elune's wasn't always easy, but, for the best part of their childhood, it was home. Cassidy enjoyed the company of the other children while playing surrogate mother to her shy sister, as well as any others who came to the orphanage and needed a big sister. She longed for the day when they would be adopted, and had a strong faith in the world, but accepted that as with most children who came through the place, chances were the time would come where she and Alice simply wandered off and didn't come back, old enough to fend for themselves.
However, that was not the case.
When Cassidy was fourteen, and Alice was twelve, a pleasant looking man claiming to be from the north comes to Lady Elune's and adopted both Cassidy and Alice. While affectionate and friendly within the city, he turned cold and distant the moment they left. It wasn't until it was too late to turn back that Cassidy found out the truth: the man did not want to adopt them. He wanted to sell them.
Best Dress was the fanciest brothel in Colndor (which, Cassidy would soon find out, didn't mean much. "Fancy" was tattered velvet, chipping "gold", torn wallpapering touched with paint: fancy enough from a distance, but all glitter that was easily wiped away up close.) Cassidy was purchased for a grand sum of money, more than she would ever see again for a very many years but Alice was too quiet, too young, too plain, too mousy. Cassidy watched her sister driven away in the back of the cart that had brought them here, and never saw her again.
At first, things were difficult. Cassidy was first trained how to entertain one way ... then she was taught the other way. The first patrons she serviced, she cried all through and was punished for it, but, as time went on, Cassidy learned the truth about Best Dress. The whores were given a tiny portion of the money they brought in, and if they could afford their own price, they could buy themselves. The goal was, of course, to get as many clients as possible requesting them, to earn enough money to escape. Cassidy saw her way to find her sister. So what had been a curse became a neccessity ... and eventually, a way of life.
Cassidy learned how to sell herself in the most irresistable of ways, and became one of the favourite girls at the brothel. Her savings added up, in time, though the master always found some way to try to take what she had earned away. She played the sister to the other girls as she had to the children at the orphanage ... and by the time she found she had saved enough money to buy her way out, she was eighteen ... and she realized, suddenly, that she hadn't the first idea what she was going to do when she got out. She had no family. She had no skills. She had no idea where Alice was, but in all likelihood knew she must be dead, or so far away she had no hope to find her. But at Best Dress, she had food, shelter, security, routine, and felt as if she was making even the smallest of differences. The brother had become a sad, empty, broken jewelery box, tattered home.
So Cassidy used her hard-earned money to buy the freedom of another girl who did have somewhere to go back to.
And to this day, she stays at Best Dress, servicing her customers, protecting other girls, and saving her money. Perhaps, someday, she'll need it again to help someone else.
PERSONALITY ;;
Cassidy once heard a priestess recite a prayer. "May the Dragons Light and Dark grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference." It has become the only prayer that matters to her.
Cassidy sees the world as a dark place where bad things happen. She expects the worst in nearly every situation. She thinks that all people are only as good as they can rise above their evil. And she believes that all of that is changeless and irreparable.
However, she also believes that bitter cynicism and apathetic resignation only make the problems worse. That is the truth of the world, and it can't be changed. What can be changed is what you choose to do with it. Cassidy is not a happy person. She has never been a happy person and doesn't even understand what happiness is, but she doesn't feel sorry for herself. She makes the best with what she's been given.
So while Cassidy's world is bleak and grey, filled with glass jewelery and tattered velvet and no escape routes, it's Cassidy's belief that she has to remember that prayer. "May the Dragons Light and Dark grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference."
Apart from her overspanning philosophy, Cassidy is kind, wise, stubborn, and loyal. She takes it upon herself to play the elder sister to newer or younger girls in the brothel, until they are able to stand on their own, regardless of how long that takes. Her motives are not entirely altruistic: playing the role of the elder allows her to use the younger girls to replace the sister she's given up on, and not feel guilty.
She frequently butts heads with the other more popular girls at Best Dress who take different philosphies on how to treat new girls. However, she knows when to bow her head and submit when neccessary; she learned early on that their master was not a man to be argued with, or there would be hell to pay.
Cassidy takes perverse joy in the discomfort of those she considers her enemies. She carries a grudge to the grave and does not forgive a slight bad enough to affect her deeply. She is also very resentful of religion and the religious, thanks to the shows of piety and hypocrisy put on by their master. However, she doesn't project this anger on the Dragons themselves.
Most new girls all notice the same thing about the kind girl who takes them under her wing and seems to know about everything: She's always smiling, but her smile never reaches her eyes.
APPEARANCE ;;
Cassidy has long, dark, blue-green hair and green eyes. She is also slight of frame and height, with exceedingly pale skin. Her friends at Best Dress have speculated she may be Kilian or Atsirian, but she's never known.
As a whore, while she is very pretty, the remarkability of her appearance and her appeal doesn't come from her raw looks; rather, it comes from the way she knows how to milk that slightly exotic look she's always had, how holds herself, how she uses her mannerisms and voice to create the image that her patrons want to see.
She usually wears the glitzy, shiney, sensational (and worthless, old, and tattered) clothing of best dress, and elaborate fake jewelery.
