Name: Cassandra Valentine
Alias: The Widow
Age: 38
Gender: Female
Ethnicity: Polarian
Position: Captain of The Leona | Former Navy Commander
Role: Captain
Strengths:
- Highly Intelligent & Experienced: Cassandra was once considered a 'bright star' within the naval academy during her younger years, earning the respect and admiration of both her peers and mentors due to her vast knowledge of navigation, sailing, and military strategy. She is currently the youngest student ever to graduate the prodigous academy and was captain of her own ship at the early age of 20. She was made commander of the royal naval fleet at age 25 and served in the golden war that ravaged the stars for nearly a decade before eventually going dark at its conclusion nearly five years ago.
- Combat Ready: Cassandra is a talented duelist and meticulous strategist. Her favored weapon is a rapier and for long range she prefers a rifle. She is not incredibly good with firearms but she is often considered an excellent shot by those around her. When unarmed Cassandra is well versed in hand to hand combat although given her lack of raw strength she can sometimes come up short when it comes to larger, heavier, and thus stronger opponents.
- Commanding: Cass still possesses a very commanding and fierce presence, years as a military commander has made the woman very strict and thus she puts up with very little. While understanding when she needs to be Fiora is not afraid to make those around her submit to her command by any means necessary which makes her difficult to resit when she takes the reigns.
- Alcoholism: After the war ended five years ago Cass has practically gone dark, abandoning her position as Navy Commander and going into hiding. The only thing that she hung onto was her ship which is permanently docked at the Spaceport with no crew to man it. It is here she resides and for five years drunk herself to death in attempts to dull her senses and forget the pain of what she experienced during the war. No one really knows what all happened back then but what is known is that is ruined Fiora, turning the woman into a shadow of her former self. She is prone to emotional outburst and tends to be off her game when she hits her lowest points, sometimes unable to even walk straight.
- Violent: Partially due to her drinking disorder Cassandra is quick to jump to violence, even more so than she used too before she began drinking. She is easy to anger and will not hesitate to severely injure someone for even the slightest provocation. She is known to be extremely wrathful and with how she is now no one is safe from her icy fury.
- Trust Issues: She is extremely paranoid and thus has a very hard time trusting those around her. She is constantly looking over her shoulder and fearing the worst; she even distrust her own family which makes her dangerous because of her solitude which is slowly driving her mad.
Personality: Beautiful, ghoulish mistress; She wafts in the gossamer threads of wordless allure, whilst stitching each meticulous furrow of a masque which divinely enshrouds the tempestuous belly of the beast. Immaculate craftswoman; An artist of a floating world untouched by time and marred none by the ebbing flow of ceaseless change. Deeply ingrained are her coveted traditions, opulent rituals whose eerie paragon is forever steeled, and willingly clandestine to protect each aspect of her lore from prying eyes and eager lips. Stellar graces enchant with vision and vibe alone, whilst her infinite supply of coiling charisma forces ones mind to yearn in delving deeper. She is the Alpha at the center of the pack, whose unrelenting authority is surrounded by the slathering of ten thousand fangs; To reach her bounty is to brave the savagery embedded within her very plasma, cells and atoms enriched to the core with a celestial ambrosia that is as toxic as it is mesmeric.
And yet by the time one merely roves her tranquil surface, they need not fret; she is refined, fragrant, soft, and exquisite like the petals of the lotus. Feminine, dominant, a wholesomely willing counsel to those who would need it, but impenetrable as the rare golden jade. Lain are the bedding of demons in the portion of his soul that remains unhinged in the darkness of decaying yin, and both hungry, and cunning is their discipline.
What was once silken and sweet morphs into the withered flesh of vengeful death, but in rightful sapience she keeps these dark forces at bay, letting them rot beneath the exoticism that is her impeccable semblance. Sleep in the profundity of solitude be she your ever loyal ally – your savior when times are ever grim, or be haunted by her shadow of plotting your ultimate downfall. An angel of art and pleasure; An oily serpent beneath the veil of betrayal. The elusively fickle silver dart, whose piercing tip doth coated in the ebony ink of silent affliction.
But alas there is agony within her soul; crying out for help as it drowns in a poison bottle of wine, killing herself slowly to atone for her sins.
Oh sweet little bird, how far have you fallen?
