Description
Yee, I've finally updated Cassandra's app! And wow now she actually as a surname.
--
• Name Cassandra Bells
• Age 18
• Gender Female
• Pokémon Gothorita
• Birthday 30th October
• Height 4'9"/1,50 cm
• Weight 83 lbs / 38 kg
• Nature Naught
• Ability Frisk - The Pokemon can check a foe's held item.
• Hometown Lavander Town (Kanto)
• Personality Cassandra is… well… well.
Cassandra had previously been used to be just an introvert, someone who would have really liked to make friends but didn't have a clue of how relationships between living people worked, having spent all her life between ghosts. And she tried, but since she was apparently really, really incapable of making friends like normal people do, she sort of just gave up.
She now just wants to scare the living hell out of everybody she meets, because apparently she loves seeing scared people. She had always also been a prankster back in her days in Lavander, and won't turn down the occasion to prank someone if it presents itself.
Also, having grown up with ghosts, a father whose childhood dream was to be a mortician and a mother that predicted people's death date for a living, she's quite fond of everything that reminds her of death. She loves the texture on the wood of coffins, the pale marble of gravestones, the deep and smooth sound of the church bells when someone dies - and that's actually her father's voice, since his actual work is to sing as a bell at people's funerals, her father being a Beheeyem and thus a living church bell.
She is also amazed by the expressivity of living people. She really, really likes watching people going trough all sorts of emotions, and how their faces almost always get all weird and scrunched, how body language changes depending on what they're feeling.
She's quite nosy and in her free time, she can be seen melted with the darkness (since she doesn't want to deal with people because then she'd get stressed out since she'd still try to befriend them, she's learned to hide in the darkness and knows perfectly where to hide) prying on people's private conversations or simply eavesdropping when she hears anyone talking. She knows they wouldn't be happy knowing just how much she hears, but it's not like she has anyone to gossip to, and even if she did she wouldn't - probably. She just does it out of curiosity and because when before she wanted to befriend living people, now she just wants to study them, learn how they work and maybe, hopefully, understand them.
• History Cassandra was the only daughter of two very… eccentric people. Her mother was a fortune teller who used her Ghotitelle powers to tell people the date of their death - in exchange for money, of course - and her father a Beheeyem who had always, always dreamed of being a mortician. But life crushes dreams, and in the end he was forced into a job more fitting of his abilities, thus becoming the living church bell who sang at the top of the Pokemon Tower when someone died and at their funeral. That didn't stop him, however, to still love death like he had always had even without the job of his dreams, so he took it upon himself to pass this love to his daughter. Since Cassandra was really young, he made his point to take her to the Tower at least once a day. The result wasn't actually that great of a success…
Cassandra had always been a bit "weirder" than normal kids, most of the other children at her school were either afraid of her, creeped out or weirded out. And going every day to the Tower, she did end up loving death just like her father, but having every other kid avoid her or run away if she as much as waved, well, left her with no friends… except for the ghosts who haunted the Pokemon Tower.
They were kind, she decided, definitely kinder than living people. And friendly, and fun. And they weren't scared of her or made fun of her love for scary things. They didn't scold her if the pranks she liked to pull on the unsuspecting visitors of the Tower got a little bit out of hand, and they always had interesting stories to tell.
Some of them seemed so happy, others so sad… she liked them all, and was happy to spend her whole life between them.
Gradually, she became always more introvert and indifferent to living people, to the point where she never talked to anybody at school and never, ever exited her house except for visiting the Tower, thing that she did right after having come home from school, and stayed there until it was time for dinner and begrudgingly bid goodnight to the ghosts and dragged herself back home.
Her "favorite" ghosts were an old Kanghaskhan lady and a grumpy old Zoroark - for some reason she always liked old people, they were so wise and had so much knowledge and were so close to dying, and it fascinated Cassandra to no end - that were practically grandparents figures for her, having lost her biological grandparents before she was even born. After school she went straight to their grave and told them about her day at school, how it has gone, if she got good grades, managed to pull a good prank without getting caught and whatnot.
She'd always been satisfied by this life, content with her dead friends, but her parents were worried - well, her mother was. Her father was secretly quite proud of her, but played along by his wife's wishes since he felt he should have been just a bit more concerned by the fact that their daughter was a complete asocial and had only ghosts for friends. They tried - again, her mother did - to arrange meetings with their friends' children, but Cassandra refused any kind of interaction with them, and when she did interact they always either left rambling something along the lines of "weird ass creepy ghost girl" or were totally creeped out by her.
Truth to be told, she actually did want to befriend them, but she had no clue of how to - ghosts didn't get mad if you spaced out and didn't answer for a while, and they didn't look at her with those faces when she said something!
But, after a while of going on like this, her parents heard of a far away school called the Armonia Institute, and they discussed with Cassandra about it.
In the end, they decided to send her there, living for a while in a place where she would have been surrounded only by living people could only do her good and she might have learned to socialize if a little bit, they figured, so they sent an application letter. She was accepted and bid farewell to her friends ghosts, leaving for new adventures…
• Summary characteristic Mischievous
• Hobbies
when she still lived in Lavander, her hobbies consisted of playing with the ghosts, talking to the ghosts, playing pranks with ghosts, listening to old people talking and scaring the people who entered the Pokemon Tower with the ghosts. Now they are looking for ghosts, prying on everybody, eavesdropping and generally being a nosy ass. She also likes to sew and makes most of her clothes herself.
• Moveset
• Favorite berry flavor Sweet
• House Cordelia
• School Schedule Math II, History, Battle, Writing, Science, Health and Sex Ed., Art, Zoology, Literature
• Extras/Fun Facts
• The Kanghaskhan taught her how to sew - not without some struggle, since she couldn't give her physical examples and had to explain everything with words - and since Cassandra could never find any clothes she liked when she went shopping with her mom - or rather, was dragged by her mom to the town market and ended up running away to the Tower -, every piece of clothing always looked too light, too plain, too boring or just too sloppy for her tastes, she started making her own clothes. At first she was terrible at it, messing with the edges of fabric and creating simple and plain dresses that fell apart after a day or two, but she quickly got better, to the point where now she always makes her own clothes.
As skilled as she's become, she'd never consider sewing as a possible thing she could do for a living, though, it has always been just something relaxing and that she did in order not to have to dress with the ugly clothes that they sold in Lavander.
• Once she considered suicide, in order to become a ghost like her friends, but was stopped by the Zoroark, because as he said, she still had her whole life ahead of herself and it wasn't time for her to become like them yet. She seemed convinced by his explanation and gave up the idea, but she's still keeping "becoming a ghost" as backup plan if things end up terribly.
• In Armonia, she had developed a huge crush for a Banette, Bandit, but he left the school. Apparently he's back as part of the band Four Score that performs at the Moonstone club, but will things stay the same...?
• After Bandit left, she felt extremely frustrated. Everyone who had entered Armonia because of social problems seemed to have found plenty of friends and she still was at the starting point. So she simply gave up the idea of being able to socialize with living people and decided to be more like her ghost friends - scary, creepy, deadly. She isn't trying to befriend anyone anymore, rather, she just spies from the shadows what goes on everybody else's life, and she got pretty fond of doing this. But deep down, she still wants to make friends and learn how to deal with living people, only she's stopped trying.
• She's extremely fascinated with people and their emotions. Almost every ghost was quite plain, confronted with a living person - their emotions were simple and unchanging, tied still to the moment of their death: ghosts of people who had found their death after being betrayed by their loved ones were constantly bitter, those who had met an almost sweet end in their sleep had eternal peace, they were unchanging, statuary. Instead a living being goes trough so many changes they're confusing, and even as much as Cassandra can love death and the likelihood she wants to learn about life and people.

Hai scritto PkmA xD anyway, congrats yay
ho visto che hai editato la storia, hai messo la personalità (la più lunga di tutti i personaggi di Armonia, godness) ma non ho ancora particolarmente letto nulla, dopo vedo òvò
And still, l'hai fatto apposta a mettere Psichico e Psicoraggio più a destra di fake tears e della famosissima Dream Eater? :C
Ancora, immaginavo avresti dato proprio QUELLE statistiche a Cassy. Ovviamente, se non le hai date a caso. ma sono sicuro che NON le hai messe a caso

No, era che avevo messo il testo centrato e le ha messe così, e mi andava bene così =3=
E ovvio che non le ho messe a caso, ho considerato a fondo la personalità di Cassandra e cosa sarebbe stato calzante e considerando quanto potrà mai essersi allenata e in cosa se ha vissuto tutta la sua vita tra i fantasmi =3=
