Name: Cassandra Ripley
Nickname(s): Cass, Cassie

Gender: Female
Height: 5'11 (without ears); 6'2 (with ears)
Appearance: www.roleplay.me/photo/3790920
Place of Brith: Sumeru
Current Residence: Mondstadt
Vision: Anemo

Family:
Elizabeth (mother; deceased)
Michael (father; deceased)
Unnamed sibling (younger sibling; whereabouts unknown)
Tighnari (adoptive older brother)
Friends:Tighnari, Collei, Cyno, Kaeya
Love interest: Diluc Ragnvindr
Enemis: The fatui, Childe, IL Dotore, the abyss order
Personality: Cassandra is outwardly flirty and very confident as well as head strong once she makes up her mind and is near impossible to persuade her to change it. She's also rather mischievous and often teases and taunts Diluc as she knows she'll get away with it. For the most part at least... Haunted with the memories of her parent's murder, she has frequent nightmares and therefor will go days without it which sometimes ends up revealing the anxiety she has regarding losing those she cares about. As a result, she has a hard time fully opening up to others and letting them get close. But once she trusts someone, she is loyal and will protect them at all costs.
Background: Cassandra's parents were once members of the Fatui and as a result they put a stronger focus on her fighting capabilities over school despite living in a nation ruled by the God of Wisdom. They had hoped she would become a harbinger one day. But, not long after her younger sibling was born, something happened that changed their minds. One day, she was training and working hard on her marksmanship and the next they were frantically packing up all of their valuables and irreplaceables. And despite her parent's best efforts to keep it quiet, she heard them talking about going somewhere far away from the forest she grew up in. And while the thought saddened her, she put on a brave face and did what she could. That was until one faithful night...
After her parents had tucked both her and her infant sibling in for the night, Cassandra couldn't sleep. She knew something wasn't right as she stared out of the window in the small room she shared with her baby sibling. Eventually, she heard a commotion in the other room, like things were being tossed about without any care. And she could hear not only her parents yelling, but other unfamiliar voices. So, she climbed out of bed to inspect. And what she saw would forever haunt her.
Just as she opened the door and peered into the living room, she saw many strange people. Some holding her parents in place, one beating her father mercilessly while her mother screamed and begged them to stop, while other people ransacked their home. One of them had spotted her and dragged her out, tossing her with her mother and another person held her down, making her watch as another brought out a dagger and drove it deep into her father's abdomen. The rest happened too quickly, everything was like a blur. She remember herself and her mother crying out. But her mother was the only one who got up to do anything. In the confusion, Cassandra's instincts kicked in and she did her best to simply lay still on the floor and play dead, even as the blood of her now deceased parents soaked into her night gown. She stayed there, a silent tear slipping out of the corners of her eyes when the intruders finally left. And stayed there even longer to make sure the coast was clear before she finally made a run for it.
That night, she just kept running, vowing to make things right someday and make sure the fatui wouldn't be able to hurt anyone else. Her vision appeared thst night as she found herself in Ghandarva Ville at the home of a foxes family who had a son around her age. From then on, her and the young boy, Tighnari, were practically inseparable. Even as he focused on his education while she focused more on honing her combat capabilities.
Fast forward and Cassandra decides she's finally ready to make due on the promise she made in her parents memories so long ago and set our for Snezhnaya after saying her goodbyes to her found family. There, she manages to infiltrate a fatui gathering and meets a man with striking red hair by the name of Diluc. After much convincing, he agrees to let her help him in taking out the fatui's forces, laying waste to much of the city. The two grow close during their time in Snezhnaya and end up developing romantic feelings for one another. So much so she agrees to go all the way back to Mondstadt with him. But due to his high social status in the land of wind, they agree to keep their relationship a safe-guarded secret to avoid drawing any unwanted attention to them. There, she would proceed to help him out the tavern, using her keen hearing to listen in on conversations and find out any Intel regarding the fatui's intentions in Mondstadt as well as anything pertaining to the rising threat of the Abyss Order.
