eyes: Cassandra's eyes are a piercing green and slightly rounder than almond shaped. She usually uses a lot of black eyeliner which emphasises her eyes' expressiveness even more.

height: 5"6

*****************************************************
likes: honesty, cats, chocolate muffins and cupcakes, tea, dragons, divination, especially the cards.
dislikes: feeling restricted, bullies and intolerance, confined spaces, rats, insects
habits/mannerisms: keeping her temper locked up until she really cannot restrain it anymore, muttering to herself when she's writing, twirling her hair when she's bored or nervous, taking up most of the bed when she sleeps
strengths: caring and loyal to those she is close to, keeping calm when everyone else has already resorted to panic, accepting, smart and helpful, writing
weaknesses: is impulsive and tends to act first and think later, at times easily distracted, being the emotional sponge for everyone else's problems, bad at being alone
personality: Cassandra is a very positive person, a trait she has cultivated despite things that have happened in her life. She is very friendly and caring, fiercely loyal and strong in her convictions. Nonetheless, Cassie can be a bit reckless at times and a bit of a whirlwind. Since she doesn't feel very comfortable being alone she's good company. Of course, Cassie gets down once in a while and at those times, even though she tries to keep it to herself, sometimes she'll be in the need of comfort. However, she does try not to let the bad times get her down and to be proactive about making the bad things better.
strong areas of magic: Defence Against the Dark Arts, Potions, Divination
weak areas of magic: Herbology, Arithmancy, Astronomy

family: Constantine and Helena Sinclair
background: Cassandra's parents are both thought to be dead. She grew up living with her uncle Adrian, her father's brother, since she was three years old. He is her family and an Auror for the Ministry and also a member of the Order of the Phoenix. What no one ever told Cassandra when she was young is that her mother actually killed her father and is not dead, but in Azkaban. What no one knew is that Cassandra knew about that after having found journal entries of her uncle's divorced wife Emily. Cassandra's parents were both Aurors, but her mother could not withstand Voldemort's lure and later, joined the Death Eaters. One would think that this knowledge would have thrown Cassandra into big turmoil, but after the initial shock had died down she was only strengthened in her resolve to work in a job that did good for the Wizarding Community.
Cassandra had initially intended to continue her family’s tradition by becoming an Auror, however during her time at Hogwarts she discovered her talent for writing. She was never interested, however, in writing for a newspaper until the Verity was founded. If Cassandra had not got the job with the Verity, she might have applied for Auror training after all.

rp example:
Cassandra was finishing up some work for the Verity when an owl arrived at her window. The bird screeched and woke up Cassandra's cat, Desdemona who sprang up and hissed at the intruder menacingly. Cassie put her quill down and sighed, picking up the cat.
"Sill girl, Dessie. It's just another owl," she said fondly, before letting the cat out into the hallway.
Cassandra crossed the room to where the owl sat, blinking at her with wide yellow eyes and untied the parchment it had attached to it's leg. There was a small bowl of owl treats on the window sill and Cassie gave one to the owl before reading the message.
There was an Order meeting sheduled outside of the weekly meetings they had already, for the next day. Cassandra couldn't blame them and neither did she mind. Nothing had been the same since Kingsley had died and everyone was still looking for answers, looking for support. Some members of the Order were even suggesting they conduct their own investigations and as far as Cassandra knew, the Order hadn't been active in such a capacity since the fall of the Dark Lord.
Cassie nodded and folded the parchment once down the middle. Then she sat down at her desk and quickly wrote down that she'd be attending. They weren't required to rsvp but Cassandra found it useful when people did.
