Appearance

Usual Garments/Armor: Cassidy has reached a bit of a rebel phase in her life after Deathwing destroyed her parents and the person she was seeing in one devastating attack. Life is too short to not enjoy it and she's cast some previous timidness aside when it came to armors. With the money she had left she's purchased a new set of garments, similar to Confessor Paletress her outfit. Yellow-toned clothing with boots that go above the knees, cloth much akin to stockings with a belt and shirt matching to it.

Personality

Cassidy had been taught to strictly follow the virtues and act as a priestess “should” in the eyes of her parents, polite, reserved, calm and considerate – That didn't help her much when Deathwing wiped her family and life out in one devastating blow. Shocked at first, though freed from her bounds after; Cassidy has taken a liking to the wealthier things in life. Life is short, fleeting, so one best enjoy it for there's no telling when the dragon comes by again to rip people apart. (She really doesn't like it, and at times strangely peers up to the sky as if expecting it to fly past again.)

Rebelling against her parenting and her former life in a mixture of grief and suddenly being on her own in the world, Cassidy can at times be blunt or chaotic. She seems to act on her emotions before thinking her actions through fully and leans towards a more hedonistic lifestyle. She seeks happiness, that of herself first and foremost, believing she's suffered enough and her time has come. This goes against the values her parents once taught her, but her faith has changed drastically to adapt to the belief that when she is happy, she is more willing to help the world and thus more people are saved. When she is happy, she does more good then she otherwise would; With this in her mind, she has started to muse the virtues over and shows a bit of a writer in herself, wanting to rewrite them to be more fitting to the current world.

Her relationship with the church has deteriorated because of this, she's cut most ties and abandoned her bishop to act on her own accord and instead has joined House Thelwind, believing it has both the lifestyle and opportunities she seeks.

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral

History

Born in a small house alongside the Elwynn road a few years before Stormwind was completely, Cassidy became the only daughter to devout priests Peter and Anne Dawn. It was a very, very simple house that only had the necessities and knew nothing of luxury, a choice they made out of believes rather then necessity. Her growth as one may expect and she moved a few years later towards the Stormwind Park District.

As she came more of age to study and learn, the children's books were exchanged for tomes of the Light. Preparation for studies to come as the parents saw no other path available for Cassidy then to become one of them. Her life became more restrictive, more serious; Her parents failing to adhere the virtue of compassion like others had before them. Everything in her life was in some way related to the light, every discussion, every study; When she expressed a desire early of age to possibly do something differently, the restrictions became worse and she soon realized it was best to stay quiet and go with it.

Her life could be summed up with all work and no fun as she neared the age of eighteen; She was attending to her business and studies within the cathedral of Stormwind before meeting an interesting figure. A man, few years older then her who had already finished his studies of the Light and complimented her on being so dutiful; From there out, one thing lead to another and more talks ensued. She wasn't sure on her feelings about him though he continued to show interest, and being a priest himself, she got away with a little more then she otherwise would have; Her parents less restrictive to other devout people like themselves.

After a few more months, she became a fully fledged priestess and served under a bishop. Her life was seemingly decided by the pace it was going at. Finished her studies, became a priestess, met a man; She realized she'd be married a year or so down the line to repeat her parents lifestyle. As she was well on her way to marry a man with her parents blessing at this point, her own emotions seemingly to matter little, an unexpected event occurred.

Deathwing deep fried the park and a large number of people still in it; Including her parents and the man who was at that very moment, showing the ring to Cassidy's parents and ask for their official permission on things. The news shocked her, having barely escaped the carnage by being in the Cathedral at the time. She was tending to refugees, shocked people, a large amount of distress and chaos, people that had gotten wounded and so forth. As her day came to an end and she learned the news, she secluded herself from everything and everyone for a little while; Unsure how to feel on the drastic change in her life.

After the funeral of her parents and the man she was meant to marry, it began to dawn her fully.. She was finally free. With what little money she had left, she got a new set of clothes, stepped into the first tavern she saw and decided to celebrate that with a drink she hadn't tried before. Turns out, tequila is disgusting though the whiskey the man gave her proved to be a whole lot better. That man just happened to be Edwin Thelwind, and talks ensued.
