Cassandra
Name: Cassandra "Cassie" Novikova
Age: She was 18 when turned, but her full age is unknown.
Nationality: Russian
Race: Vampire
Sub Race: Sired
Orientation: In limbo. (She's confused)
Hair/Eyes: Her hair is a soft blonde in color; falling down just below her shoulders. She often paints different colored streaks into it. Her eyes are a pale/light blue, and revert to glowing red while she's hunting.
Personality: Quite outspoken, often childish in nature, and very impatient. Cassandra refuses to listen to anyone other than Xindel, unless immdeiately threatened, and becomes insufferable for a time afterward. She's fairly insecure with herself, a trait she could not shake from her human life. She loves to read any and everything she can get her hands on, which gives her the intellect she craved when she was mortal. Her accent faded slightly over time, so she has but a light Russian accent when speaking English.
Short bio: Cassandra was not noble or royal. She was born into poverty. Both of her parents being excessively abusive, Cassandra found every excuse she could not to be at home, often getting her into more trouble in the end. She took the blame for any and all of the problems afflicting her parents, and would almost always be sporting a bruise, cut, or broken bone of some kind.
More often than none, Cassandra had to resort to stealing to feed and clothe herself, hence she was an excellent pickpocket. This is how she came upon Xindel. In desperate need of food, as she'd not eaten in over three days, she bumped into her intended victim, attempting lift her golden pocketwatch. Xindel caught her, but she escaped. The very next night; Xindel appeared at her home. Although Cassandra was afraid; she showed none of her fear. She could only assume Xindel saw something in her that night, and that is why she turned her.
Cassandra missed no one in her mortal life. She looks at Xindel as a saviour, of sorts and has never looked back.
Favored Apparel: Cassandra takes little interest in what she wears. She likes to look good, but she does not give it excessive time. Xindel makes up for it, dressing her in all sorts of fashions she fancies. Though more often than not she ends up in detailed dresses, or skirts with fashionable tops, all of which are in gothic or punk styles/fashions.

Powers:
Improved Strength and Speed:
Vampires possess strength and speed much higher than that of a human, complete with incomparable grace, a different sort than the animalistic fluid nature of lycanthropes. Older vampires have greater power and speed than younger. Vampires often seem much faster than they truly are, however – with their mind tricks, they can be across the room in what seems like an eye-blink.
Improved Senses:
Vampires new and old possess senses much greater than that of humans. Even the newly dead have better hearing than most dogs, and their sense of sight is much greater as well. However, they do not have a sense of taste as they cannot ingest food.
Heightened Endurance and Resistance:
Vampires are resistant to many things – in fact, regular bullets will hardly slow them down and will heal nearly instantly. Wounds dealt by silver and lycanthrope/vampire claws and fangs, however, will heal with near-human slowness. Damage inflicted by fire and holy items backed by faith, such as crosses and holy water, cause permanent scarring.
Read Surface Thought:
The Vampire now has the ability to read thoughts such as telepathy, enabling them to read the victims mind and what is currently being thought.
Mind-Rolling:
Through direct eye-contact if a vampire is new or through voice-tricks or sheer presence if one is an older master, a vampire can capture the mind of his target and hold them in a hypnotized state where they are not aware what is going on. This is a skilled art rather than a thing of brute power – elegance instead of strength. It is through mind-rolling that vampires can seem to disappear or move across large distances in an instant.
Memory Thief:
The young vampire now has the ability to look into the eyes of their vicitim and read their most intimate memories, stealing them and locking them away for their own to use when needed. Thou once eye contact is made the person is put to sleep for a minimal or 5-10 minutes. The vampire cannot kill the vicitim and it is done to help look through the persons memories.
Stillness / Making no Sound:
Once a vampire has existed as a vampire for several decades, he begins to come into his own power. Old vampires gain several traits, such as the ability to remain perfectly still, beyond that of anything a human can achieve. They also learn the trick of smiling without flashing their fangs – it is considered juvenile to do otherwise. Because of their grace, vampires can move similar to lycanthropes, making next to no sound. Strangely enough, other undead such as zombies and ghouls possess this same ability to move without sound.
Weaknesses: Wounds inflicted by silver or vampire/lycanthrope claws and fangs heal at near-human slowness. Direct sunlight shone on a vampire causes them to burst into flame. Holy items such as crosses will brighten with blue light if a person of faith holds them and is threatened by a vampire – though it will keep from lighting if the vampire is not a threat to the bearer of the holy item. Contact with a cross held by a person of faith cause serious burns to even Master Vampires – the majority of vampires cannot even bear to see the light issued from crosses. The burns caused by contact from crosses and other holy items, as well as holy water (which has an effect akin to acid) and burns caused by regular fire or direct sunlight, leave permanent scars. Vampires cannot enter a residence that they have not been invited to - places of business do not count as residences. Holy wafers placed at windows and doors can keep even invited vampires out of residences or places of business.
