Completely optional history and personality section. YOU ARE ALLOWED TO SKIP THIS!:

Short version! Cassie history and personality
Grey:

History: Left with the rogues when very young, doesn't remember his mother. Was raised to be Theran's Sword and Shield, to protect and serve his cousin. Trained by Talon and raised by him along with his cousin Theran. But one day when they were on the young side, they went to town and instead of being careful and watching each other's backs, he let Theran talk him into splitting up, because a woman showed interest in Theran, but Theran also wanted a box of creampuffs. So Grey went to get the creampuffs while Theran was... occupied. The town guard, knowing that the heir of Greyhaven, Prince Theran, had a weakness for creampuffs had set a trap. They caught Grey in it and he played the part of his cousin, never once in the years they had him let on he wasn't the Greyhaven heir. He was tortured constantly by the tainted Queens and their Courts. By the time Talon saved him, there wasn't much left of the promising boy he had once been.

He remained mentally and emotionally stunted at the time of his incarceration, unable to move past it. Constantly waking in terror. He developed really bad PTSD and anxiety disorder, and anyone leaving the mountains at all was a cause for terror, because the last time he left... he lost everything he was.

When Theran went to get a Queen from Kaleer, after the war ended, Grey was brave enough to leave the mountains, but he couldn't live in that house. Not again. So they fixed up a space for him in the grounds keeper's shed out back, and he could use the bathroom in the stables. It was all he could handle... until Cassidy.

Once Grey met Cassidy he began to heal and grow. Meeting Lucivar Yaslana helped that along smartly, and his growth was watched over not just by Talon but also Lucivar, Daemon Sadi, and the High Lord - who told Grey to call him Uncle Saetan.

Over Cassidy's first year in Terielle, he shattered the protective shell he had lived in since he was rescued and accepted the man he could be. For her. For their people. And eventually, a little for himself as well.

His personality has a bit more schism to it than most of the Blood have. But that gap is shrinking rapidly as the boy Grey and the Warlord Prince Jared Blaed Greyhaven become one and the same.

He is described as having the energy of a Sceltie when he's in Grey mode, and a lot of boyish enthusiasm. As Jared, he's firm, and does hi best to be a "polite wall" as he was taught to be. But every side of him is completely and utterly devoted to Cassidy.

Unlike most of the Blood, Grey doesn't have a lot of temper, and pretty much what little he does show only comes out when something or someone is threatening Cassidy or Court. Like he shows it with Theran about Kermilla, but that is when Theran made it clear he was replacing Cassidy with Kermilla. So... very very justified there. And even then, the worst he did was threaten and take the bulbs he had paid money for with him when he left.

Basically... Grey is just... a good guy still at the tail end of relearning how to person.



Please list and explain the three worst (morally) things your character has ever done:

Cassidy:
A. Tried to run away from Greyhaven
B. Hurting herself really badly after the incident with Theran, without thinking about how that would impact the others or her duties as Queen
C. Trying not to be greedy, she erred on the side of abandoning people rather than standing to fight for them or letting them decide.

Grey:
A. Agreed to split up from Theran when they were little, even though it was dangerous and they knew they were not allowed to.
B. After his argument with Cassie, he went to the Keep without telling anyone where he was going, causing a general panic
C. Gave up on his cousin. With reason, but still... It happened a few times.


Please list and explain the three best (morally) things your character has ever done.:

Cassidy:
D. Did step up to the line multiple times to protect her people and care for them, even when it was hard and/or terrifying.
E. Treated everyone she trained well, so well in Dharo that Queen Darlena was impressed, and enough to protect Rehanya in Eyota.
F. Gave Shalador back it's heart (Shaladorian culture had been outlawed for centuries, she not only allowed the cuture again, she encouraged it and participated in the lessons and festivals)

Grey:
D. Endured years of torture to protect his cousin, Theran.
E. Forced himself to face his trauma and scars so that he could be who Cassidy needed him to be. "You don'y have to do this. Not for her." Grey gave him an odd smile. "That's exactly why I have to do it. For her."
F. Endured rigorous training to be a proper First Escort so he could serve Casside, the Court, and their people.





Please put the six things above on a timeline relevant to each other:
Cassidy: E, B, A, C, E, D, F
Grey: A, D, E, B, C, F, C



Do you consider your character a hero, an anti-hero, a good aligned side kick, a bystander, a victim, a fence sitter, a mercenary, an evil aligned side kick, a villain, or something else? Why?: Good aligned for sure. Closer to heroes than anything else on the list. Cassidy is the ruling Caste and Grey serves her. They work hard to do right by their people and for their people. Two legged or four.

Do you think your character should start on the Isle or in Auradon? Why?: Auradon. They are good through and through. And they're useful in Auradon.

Which of those two would you prefer your character to start in?: Auradon

Are you still interested in having this character in this game at this time if that preference is not met?: As I get to make this call unilaterally at this point, N/A

Powers and Abilities:
Oooold ability summary I wrote ages back. Cassidy is a Rose Jeweled Queen, Grey is a Pruple Dusk Warlord Prince




What clothing/items did your character arrive with? (See rules and FAQ for what is allowed, feel free to ask if you are unsure):
Taking this a day or two after the wedding, so it is still early spring and they were probably working when they arrived. So Cassidy is in a warm dark green sweater over a simple but nice light green skirt, and simple house shoes with a pale green shawl over her shoulders, and probably a pen stuck behind one ear. She is wearing her Jewels - she wears the Rose, and her wedding ring (three kinds of amber in clean gold design).

In her personal storage/hammer space:
She will also have with her a change of gardening clothes, including her new hat, and the old hat with the bite taken out of it. A pair of outdoor shoes. She also has some personal needs supplies that we're not getting into. She will have stationary and ink and seals and wax. A small amount of food and a pitcher of water - she's not getting in trouble for that again. Her birthright Jewels. A club. Not much else, wearing the Rose, her stores aren't all that large, so she doesn't carry more than is comfortable.

Grey: Again, it was a working day in early spring. So probably just long trousers, a button down shirt open enough to show his purple dusk pendant, and a light jacket, and good sturdy shoes. Worn but sturdy. He will also we wearing the rest of his Jewels or they are in storage, and a plain gold wedding band.

In his personal storage/hammer space:
He probably has a nicer change of clothes as well as hardening clothes, canon shows he carries gardening tools there, so gardening tools. Food and water. Enough for one meal for him and Cassie, or two if they reeeaaaaly stretch it. Sceltie care stuff - so like dog brushes, a dog toy or two, and a few copies of the Scelties favorite books like Sceltie Saves The Day and Unicorn rescue. A large bowl of water, a small container of dog food. A few apples and carrot chunks for the horses. A large stick.



Optional- What do you have to keep in mind when playing this character?: That unlike the Darker Blood I am used to playing, Cassidy is fairly weak. Also neither of them really drink all that much, probably because they are lighter Jeweled. Or she is, anyway. But Grey hates cream puffs and gets sick just looking at them.

What mod candy, if any, does your character bring? (Aka what elements would you really like to see us play with?): Winsol

What else do you think the mods should know about your character or their canon?: I'm tired of talking to myself >.>

Any questions?: See above
