GREW UP ON A TIGHTROPE, LEARNED TO SMILE
[/color]EVEN WHEN I WAS FALLING DOWN[/center]
[/b] Dark brown and loosely curled. She parts it at the side, and her overgrown fringe is just swept across to keep it out of her face. It falls just below her shoulder blades.
eye color: Light blue
body build: Slender
height and weight: 5"5, 119 pounds
distinguishing features: Cass doesn't have any tattoos, but she does have a small scar on her left hip bone from a slightly over-zealous cat
face claim: Emily Rudd
general description: Cass is often praised for her courageousness in wearing minimal makeup, when - in actual fact - it's just a product of her laziness. Her pale skin is starkly contrasted by her bright blue eyes, and contrasted even more by the dark hue of her curls. She washes her hair every morning and leaves it to dry naturally for fear of awakening the frizz-monster that lies beneath with a hairdryer. Once it's dried, she tends to sweep it to one side and try to forget about it for the rest of the day. A bit of mascara, and perhaps a flash of red lipstick if she's feeling funky, make up her beauty routine. On nights out, though, she loves to get dolled up - she would do it everyday if she could, but a lack of time and motivation mean that she'd much rather go down to the stable.

OUT WHERE YOUR TROUBLES CAN‘T FIND YOU
[/color]OUT WHERE YOU LEAVE THEM ALL BEHIND[/center]
[/b] Books, photography, classic cars, live music, fizzy drinks, the smell of hay, classic rock, the colour red, ice cream, summer days, crunchy leaves in autumn, the sound of horse's hooves on snow, hugs, watching crappy movies, conservation, travelling.
dislikes: Salad, push-button ponies, arrogance, tomatoes.
strengths: Bravery, resilience
weaknesses: Can be naive, mild OCD
fears: Flying and helicopters - not flying in helicopters, just the fact of their being. The sight of a helicopter usually sends her scurrying for cover.
goals: To finish her degree and to train Chicago up
personality overview: Cassidy is one of those people that you rarely see without a smile on their face. Regardless of any turmoil that she may be going through, she finds it easier to smile than frown. Cass can often be a little awkward in social situations, especially when things get serious, but does tend to be talkative and friendly. Living in the countryside for a large part of her life means that she's very hardy, and isn't the type of girl to be afraid of getting their hands dirty. Although she is rarely intentionally confrontational, she is by no means afraid to argue her side and won't let anyone walk over her. She has quite mild Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, which causes her to want to repeat certain actions and get into habits of doing things. Her condition seems to be worsened by stress. Cass also has a tendency to be quite naive at times, something which she is working to fix. This is a problem when it comes to relationships; she is much more trusting than she perhaps should be, and that has led to heart break for her in the past. Around men, she is generally quite confident, but if she finds them attractive she is something of a wreck; she blushes uncontrollably and sometimes says things she doesn't mean to.

DEAR MOM AND DAD, I‘LL SEND MONEY
[/color]I‘M SO RICH THAT IT AIN‘T FUNNY[/center]
[/b] Mary, 53, teacher
father: Steven, 56, architect
siblings: David, 21, University
others: Belle and Tony on her Mother's side, Alan on her Father's. She has three Aunts - two of which are biologically related to her - and two uncles - one of which is biologically related. She also recently purchased a Newfoundland puppy named Bear, or Bo for short.
hometown: Oxford, England
history: Cass was born in a semi-rural part of England. Her parents weren't rich, but they had enough money to provide her with a lovely home and everything she needed to be happy. They had a brilliant family life, and this allowed Cass to do well at school. As a reward for her efforts, her parents helped her to afford weekly horse riding lessons which she attended all the way through her childhood and teenage years. A horse of her own, however, was out of the question; her parents didn't have the money or knowledge needed to support her dream.
She lived her whole life in the English countryside - up until she went on holiday. As a celebration for a friend's Birthday, Cass and her friend went on holiday to America. Their flight back was scheduled for three weeks after they arrived, providing ample time for exploration. Cass never left. England has always felt too small to contain Cass; she lusted after the countless new sights and opportunities that America offered. Of course, after this, the practicalities (or lack thereof) of the situation came to light and she had to return to England in order to say her goodbyes. Her sudden decision to move led to a lot of arguments within her family, and meant that she didn't leave England on the best of terms. It also meant cutting her degree in Bioscience short, something that she had been wanting to do for so long, but was now giving up on a whim. The upside of the whole situation was that, due to the local stabling facilities, she was finally able to spend the time around horses that she had always wanted.
Cass got to know a local horse owner, and this led to her purchasing Chicago. His owner just didn't have room for another gelding on the yard, especially as the mares were just coming into foal, and so she put him up for sale. Naturally, Cass leapt at the chance to buy him before thinking of the practicalities of it all; she had no feed, tack or stabling for him. After hours of intense research, she stumbled upon an advert for Southaven Stables, and she hasn't looked back since.
