26(178), 30/10/1835, Nephilim(Unique), Ellen pAGE.

Powers:

Nephilim are the supernatural children of human women and angels, and as such, have a myriad of abilities, which can appear in any combination in one. Cassandra's divine blood runs stronger in her than her humanity, which gives her a few more powers than the '50-50' brand of Nephilim, but it also comes with more weaknesses.

Strength, Speed and Agility are all enhanced in Cassandra. She's not as strong as she is fast or agile, but she could still hold her own pretty damn well in a fight.

Cass' Sacred Blood is both a blessing and a curse. It allows her to heal others with a (rather large) transfusion, and can also be used as a weapon against supernaturals (though not as strong as their weaknesses; It's not a cure-all weapon, and will only do... slightly more damage as one). This blood also is highly intoxicating to vampires, and, if caught in the wrong situation, they could become more than a small problem for her.

Being of Divine descent, Cassandra's Life expectency is far greater than that of your average human. Being more divine than human, Cass' ageing has all but halted.

The sacred blood that runs through her veins also contributes to her Healing factor. She is able to heal as fast a werewolf when it comes to most wounds and injuries. She cannot, however, recover lost limbs.

When Cassandra is enraged, she will blackout and go into what she calls an Angelic Wrath state. While she is like this, Cass' natural abilities are greatly enhanced, but she has no control over her actions, and doesn't even know what happens during these states. Because of the danger of this, she has made herself as protected from anything that might set her off because she is too afraid of what she might do in this state.

Weaknesses:

Because her divine blood is stronger, one would think Cassandra would be unstoppable, but because of the increase of Divinity in her blood, she is weaker to more things than the general grade Nephilim.

Acacia Wood
Mountain Ash
Galbanum Resin
Holy Oil
Enochian Spells (Angel repeling ones can repel her as well)
Magic (Normal as well as Blood)
Part Human - Being part human, Cass can be overwhelmed by an angel and manipulated.
Angelic Wrath- This ability doesn't just give her power. She is extremely susecptible to supes and their abilities when she's in this state. She also has absolutely no control over her actions, and this is the reason why she tries to wall off her human emotions so she doesn't lose her temper.

PREFERENCES

Likes:

Reading
Classical and Soundtrack Music (like Two Steps from Hell)
Sushi
Men (she has a love-hate relationship with them)
Chocolate (She thinks it's the greatest invention ever)

Dislikes:

Vampires (for obvious reasons)
Being trapped in a ring of Holy Oil (That's happened quite often)
Hunters
Angels (most of all)
Men
Ducks (effing ducks, man. -shudder-)

Strengths:

Ability to control her emotions exceptionally well
Her Nephilim abilities
She's a good hunter
She's very honest; if you ask her a question, she'll give you the answer if she has it (as long as it has nothing to do with her past or her emotions, then she'll lie through her teeth).
She's a good person to have as a friend or ally; Cassandra will defend her loved ones until the end of existence.

Weaknesses:

Children
Puppies (or any cute animal really)
Humans in general (As much as they annoy her, she'll protect innocents no matter what)
Romantic gestures from men (not that that happens too often)
Books (She loves reading so much it's practically an obsession)

SECRETS & FEARS

Secrets:

She's a Nephilim, and as a result, has been in hiding her entire life.
She slaughtered three angels ( while in her angelic wrath state) because of her twin sister's death
Cassandra longs for a home of her own.
She's not as inpenetrable emotionally as she'd like everyone to think.
She often wishes she'd taken a demon's offer of a safe-haven long ago.
She's a sucker for romance

Fears:

Being caught by angels
Becoming Wrathful again, and killing innocents
The future (Every day is a nightmare for her)
Anatidaephobia - Ever since she was attacked by a duck at the age of 4, she's had an irrational fear of them ever since.
Being alone (Which is one thing she always is)

PERSONALITY

Cassandra has been through a lot in over 175 years. She's seen war, prejudice, and loved ones die. She's been in hiding for almost two centuries, fearing the wrath of heaven's soldiers. She's learned to harden herself on the outside, as she tries desperately to protect what little humanity she has to begin with. Cass may come off as a cold, unfeeling woman when someone first meets her, but if they live long enough to really work their way into her walls, they'd see she's still holding onto that glimmer of hope that she'll be safe one day. She's never stayed in one place, however, and has never stayed long enough to gain attachments to humans.

Living a nomadic life has been hard on her, and Cassandra longs for a permanent home where she and whoever she decides to spend her life with can be safe, but that dream, is far off. When it gets particularly tough for Cass to keep herself fighting, she keeps shoving this dream into her focus, and it gives her the motivation she needs to make it to the next year.

HISTORY

Elizabeth Robin was the tavern wench who gave birth to two of what many would call abominations on the thirtieth of October, 1835. Cassandra and her twin, Cordelia. From the beginning of her pregnancy, Elizabeth told whoever she could about the angel that came to her in the night and made her with child. No one listened to her radical ideas; they all thought she just sold out her body and didn't know who the father was. All throughout Cassandra's childhood, she and her sister were told they were special because an angel was their father. Cordelia never believed their mother, but Cass on the other hand... She was already showing signs of powers, while Delia had yet to and they were already 10. Cass' first power revealed itself when she was 6. She had a temper tantrum and slammed her fist on the table, which actually broke it. Delia finally believed her that time, and Cass was excited to go tell the kids who didn't believe her. That was when their mother explained how her kind were hunted and killed by humans and angels alike, because they were considered monsters. Cass, being a child, didn't understand why she had to hide who she was and ran off. She eventually understood that her entire family could die if she told anyone, but it still didn't make it any easier. Cassandra's second power showed itself a few months after their 10th when she tripped and caught her hand on a sharp edge. Her mother came running when she heard Cass' crying, but found her daughter staring as her hand healed itself. That was when she told both her daughters what they were.

Cassandra was out really late one evening that summer, and it was past dark. She knew her mother'd be angry and was dreading returning. She at her front door when she heard her mother crying and a strange male voice demanding that Elizabeth tell him something. She froze, her hand on the door. Before she could even make a decision, the front door flew open and Cassandra's body was pulled in by an invisible force. She was pulled towards the main room and came face to face with someone she'd never seen before. As soon as she saw him, she knew he wasn't human; he was too confident... too divine. She didn't even notice he was speaking to her until she saw the man look at her. Cassandra was too frightened to even speak, let alone think about what her mother was doing in the background. She tried to form words when she saw her mother had thrown the lit oil lamp at the man's feet. Everything happened quickly after that. She was swept up in her mother's arms along with her sister and carried out the back door of their house. Her mother dropped them, and told the two to run as fast and far as they could. It wasn't long before the ringing started. Their mother started to panic more and screamed at her daughters to run. Cordelia took Cass' hand and the two didn't look back.

The two left for the countryside, and were taken in by an elderly couple who housed them until the two left 6 years later. By then, they knew their aging was slowing dramatically, and eventually it would stop. They were 16, but still looked like they were only 12. The two had no idea how the angels were unable to find them, but they only hoped they wouldn't return; that's all they could do. After the two felt it was no longer safe for the couple for them to stay (which was about 4 years), Cassandra and Cordelia left, and never stayed in one place that long again. About a decade later, the twins' worst fears came true. Cass was hunting in a forest when she heard the ringing of the angels' voices again. Fearing for her sister's safety, she ran to their camp to find Delia constrained by two angels. Another was staring right at her, and she felt helpless once again. The angels called the two abominations... abhorrent, and weak. Cordelia spit at the one who wasn't holding her, and he turned and smacked her. It produced the most sickening crack of bone when he hit, and Cassandra flinched. She was broken from the trance that was holding her in place and she rose to her feet, drawing the knife she had intended to use for hunting. Before she could use said knife, that lone angel glanced at her and simply said, 'Kill her.' Cass didn't know what was happening until she saw one of the others grab her sister's neck and snap it like a twig.

After that,she has no recollection of what happened. She woke up in a tent somewhere foreign. A woman (who later turned out to be a witch) named Lilian beside her explained how Cass had killed three angels and almost killed her before she was subdued. She was going to leave when Lilian offered her a way to stay hidden from the angels permanently, as long as they never just happened upon her. She inquired about this and she apparently had to be branded with Enochian sigils on her ribs, which only an angel could do. The less dangerous alternative was for her to carry a specific type of hex bag around with her at all times. Once she acquired this hex bag, Cassandra left the witch, and wandered the country with no real direction at all. She had no one anymore; the angels had killed her sister, and she in turn killed them. She had no real goal anymore. It wasn't long before a demon caught wind of her and decided to pay dear Cass a visit. She was offered asylum in exchange for her becoming a demon after death, but she didn't want her soul to belong to Hell, so she turned it down, something that she regrets every now and then.

Cass' life was fairly uneventful after that. She was hidden from angels, and demons didn't bother with her after that. As the years and decades rolled by, she had many different families, lives, and names. She changed them like anyone would change clothes, but that nagging feeling kept popping up in her mind. She wanted a permanent home, and she wanted to be safe until the day she died. She hated running all the time, never knowing just how close the angels were. After she saw all there was to see in the United Kingdom, Cass decided to take a big journey and immigrate to the United States in 1922. She then got a job as a teacher, and basically traveled around for nearly a century in the U.S., once again changing identities every 6 or so years. She's recently moved to Beacon Hills, and has decided to switch to her original name, Cassandra Elena Robin. Little did she know moving here might have been her biggest mistake.
