Physical Description 

• a very red peryton
• casts a human-shaped shadow... it's fine, don't worry about it
• wears wigs depending on what kind of hair she's feeling today
• always has a notepad and pen on her
• sometimes dresses professionally, often just wearing sweaters and/or shorts

Personality 

• short tempered, gets aggravated easily when she feels her time is being wasted
• fairly reserved, guarded
• an absolute perfectionist - she often wishes she could loosen up, but her standards are just too damn high
• pretty blunt in her interactions with others.  has no time for passive aggression/indirect communication/other bullshit

Likes 

• doing shit herself, so she can be sure it's done right
• getting straight to the point
• going to the spa on a day off and letting her brain turn all the way off for a bit
  • she's been getting into meditation lately to practice more mindfulness in her everyday life

Dislikes 

• loud noises, rowdiness
• small talk, hemming & hawing, beating around the bush, etc...
• passive aggression.  it's her least favorite shit, she has no patience for it, and she calls people on it immediately

Personal Info 

• highkey dating Rhodes
  • they met at the nightclub Rhodes manages - Cassia hated it there (Hemlock dragged her along, saying she "should get out more" - Cassia will never forgive them), but it's chill Rhodes hates it too
    • what she doesn't know is that Hemlock totally absolutely engineered this, what a wildcard
• her style of writing is pretty similar to her style of talking
  • she still cuts to the chase and avoids burying the lede, but she's way more descriptive and really breaks things down in text.  her articles are really dense and content rich; she avoids fluff and stock phrases wherever possible
• speaking of stock phrases, they're one of her biggest pet peeves
  • some don't notice that shit, but when you and your coworkers are being paid to write about very similar things real close together you start noticing your colleagues using the same clichéd shit over and over
  • "oh my god i swear if anything spreads like a wildfire in this draft i'm going to scream -"
