Character Information
-
Cassia is a young woman in the prime of her youth - and in peak physical fitness to boot. What this means is that she is a woman who has refined beauty but also has a body that speaks to how hard she had worked to obtain her strength. She has pale skin, vibrant green eyes and bright blonde hair that is usually untameable, often waving free as she fights.
When prepared for combat, Cassia prefers to dress herself in light armour that sacrifices protection for freedom of movement. This also tends to mean that her armour doesn't cover as much of her skin as other armour types.
When it casual clothing, Cassia tends to have no issues displaying her toned body and numerous scars, feeling pride in both as symbols that she has struggled and triumphed.

Cassia was born to a nomadic tribe of Matukai. As a Matukai, she was trained from a young age in how to control her Force Sensitivity by channelling it into martial arts. She developed at a steady pace under the tutelage of her mother until her people were attacked by a group of rogue Exiles looking to steal the young of the tribe for training to become new Exiles. A single Jedi Master, an Onderonian woman, stood between the Exiles and the Matukai children and defeated them all.
While the elders of the tribe pushed the Jedi Master away soon after the rescue, due to their issues with the Jedi Order as a whole, young Cassia never forgot the one woman who stood up to six Exiles and killed them all with barely any effort. With that nameless Jedi as her role model, Cassia dedicated herself to her training like never before, with the goal of first being just as strong as her hero.
And then surpassing her.
When she was old enough, she challenger her main tutor - her mother - and defeated her. Taking this to mean she would need to learn more elsewhere, Cassia left her tribe on the best of terms and they bid her a fond farewell as she embarked on her quest, but making sure that she was aware she could come home at any time.
It is with the love and best wishes of her family and tribe that Cassia set out into the Galaxy to surpass her hero, the unnamed Onderonian Jedi Master.

After years of being the best fighter among her clan, Cassia is a very arrogant person. She's headstrong and stubborn, and this often leads her to conflict with others. She can be difficult to get along with but she's got good intentions with everything she does. While brash, she does have a good heart and honestly just wants to prove herself as a capable warrior.
After witnessing such an epic battle when she was younger, she has striven to attain a similar level of power. She is motivated in her training and she doesn't shy away from hard work. She knows that nothing is going to come to her easy and she's going to have to give 110% every day. This can make her seem a bit grumpy at times but it's mostly because she pushes herself so hard. She is her own biggest critic and no one is harder on herself than herself. Even if she does something nearly perfect she won't be satisfied until she has gotten it down perfectly, no matter how many times she has to practice.
If nothing else she is determined. She never shys away from a challenge and is an extremely competitive person, sometimes pouting until someone agrees to fight with her to cure her boredom and seeming insatiable thirst for battle.
Strength: Cassia is rather strong for her gender and size, coming from years of training in martial arts and exercising extensively.
Stamina: She has excellent stamina, she is in amazing shape and the idea of her gassing out in a fight is almost non-existent.
Dexterity: Not dexteritious like some but she is averagely flexible. That said she's no gymnist or contortionist by any means, most of her natural flexibility lost on her strength training.
Speed: Very fast on her feet as well as in combat, her speed is one of her focus's while training. Her reactions are superb from years of training and sparring with others.
Intelligence: While not very learned she does pick up technology fairly quickly. She's not mechanically inclined nor an engineer, but she does have about average intelligence.
Charisma: Not charismatic at all. She doesn't get along with people very well given her stubborn and somewhat condescending nature.
