UPDATING CHARACTER Name: Cassandra Goth (Yes, naming her after a sim)

Age / Grade: 17 / Sophmore

Plotline: 

Mortimer Goth had began advancing in his Science career during the time Bella Goth, his wife, was pregnant with their first child. He received a promotion along with a bonus that consisted of a hefty amount of money. The family was able to build two extra stories onto the house. They furnished an upstairs room with all the necessities of a baby. Mortimer and Bella were ready for their first born to come into their lives.

Bella gave birth to a baby girl. Together the parents named their child,   Cassandra. Bella at first, believed something was wrong with her child. Cassandra never cried. This strange phenomenon was never figured out. In the past, Goth Manor was a busy place. Not only did Bella, Mortimer, and Cassandra live under the same roof, but Gunther and Cornelia left their estate for their son Mortimer, with one exception. He let them live with him and promised to take care of them until their deaths. They would of course get to see their grandchild, Cassandra everyday and take care of her whenever Bella and Mortimer had to work. Mortimer couldn't deny his parents, first they give him the house and they were built-in baby-sitters his situation couldn't get any better. Bella also didn't mind this as she loved Cornelia and Gunther just as much as her own parents.

As a baby and a toddler, Cassandra grew up a confused child. She couldn't be sure, as the age she was, who was her mother and who was her father. Cornelia often took care of Cassandra since Bella and Mortimer were working hard at their jobs. Gunther also played with her when she was a toddler. He would toss her in the air and swing her around. Cassandra was fond of her grandparents. Her grandpa Gunther was a magician, he taught her to fly, as she believed. Gunther would lift her into the air and run with her in his arms, convincing her that she was flying.

Cornelia taught Cassandra to play the piano when she became a child. Cassandra was excellent and exceptional when it came to creativity and intellect. When it became a social situation, however, she was as shy as the ghosts on Goth grounds. Cassandra regressed towards others she first met. She was always the brightest and most outgoing child to her grandparents though. She also called her grandpa, Gunther, Pap and her grandma, Cornelia, Leia. Cassandra considered these two people her parents over her real ones. Mortimer and Bella were always gone during most of Cassandra's lifetime.

Growing up without her real parents was a struggle for Cassandra. Life continued to get worse too. There came a day when her parents called for a family reunion. At this special event they were going to surprise their family with revealing a beautiful secret. Bella and Mortimer were never able to reveal the surprise at the party. A tragic fire broke out and Cassandra felt a stab in her heart. She ran into the kitchen to see black smoke hovering over her parents whom were laying on the floor. She screamed believing her parents were dead. Cassandra ran out of the kitchen calling for her other family. <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:'HelveticaNeue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;line-height:20px;"> Michael Bachelor (Her uncle, on Bella's side)  <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:'HelveticaNeue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;line-height:20px;">and his father <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:'HelveticaNeue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;line-height:20px;"> Simis Bachelor (Her grandfather, on Bella's side)  <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:'HelveticaNeue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;line-height:20px;">scurried into the kitchen and rescued her parents.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);line-height:25.2000007629395px;"><span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:'HelveticaNeue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;line-height:20px;">Weeks after the fire, Bella went into labor with her second child. Cassandra was just a teenager when her little brother, Alexander Goth <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:'HelveticaNeue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;line-height:20px;">  <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:'HelveticaNeue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;line-height:20px;">was born. He was a small ball of joy. To please her parents, Cassandra decided to study hard and she applied for Private School. Cornelia and Gunther stayed by Cassandra's side the whole time. Bella and Mortimer weren't around to watch their daughter shine for they were taking care of the newest addition in the family. She realized her parents were too busy for her like they always had been. Cassandra continued to close up even more, literally talking only to her immediate family. School was troublesome for her, but she continued to excel when it came to studies. She may have shielded herself even more, but she grew even closer to her Pap and to Leia. They were her family, her true family. <p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:9px;color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:'HelveticaNeue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;line-height:20px;">A few months before her younger brother was to become a toddler, her mother went missing. Bella disappeared and never returned to the family. This struck Mortimer right through the heart. He was hurt worse than he had ever been in his life. Mortimer became a shell. All joy and happiness he once possessed soon left him in emptiness. Cassandra, however, didn't take the loss as bad as her father had. It actually didn't really even affect her. Bella was never around for her anyways and with her gone her life didn't really change since Cornelia and Gunther were still there for her as they had always been. Cassandra quickly began to despise her younger brother as he took her place in her grandpa Gunther's eyes. Mortimer had no time and chose not to take care of Alexander after Bella disappeared. Gunther, his father, was now taking care of Alexander, making sure he would grow up with at least a father figure in his life. <p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:9px;color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:'HelveticaNeue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;line-height:20px;">Shortly after Alexander became a toddler, however, Gunther kicked the bucket and died. Cassandra may not have been affected by her mother, but Gunther's death hit her hard. The man she considered her true father had just died. Cassandra had grown up without her real parents to be there for her and instead attached herself to her grandparents. Now her grandpa was dead and her real mother was missing. Her real father was lost inside himself often sleeping all day locked in his room. The only person Cassandra had left was Cornelia. Cornelia knew her time would come soon. So she made sure to teach Cassandra everything and anything she could before her departure. Cornelia couldn't leave Cassandra until she made sure her grand-daughter could handle another loss.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:9px;color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:'HelveticaNeue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;line-height:20px;">Cornelia knew her time had come. She expressed with Cassandra that she would be leaving them. Cassandra shook her head and cried. Cornelia pulled Cassandra's chin so that her head was up. She told her to keep her head held high, always and to never let it fall. After this Cornelia fell into Cassandra's arms and passed into the other realm. Due to Cornelia's death, Alexander had no one to watch him. His father was still locked away from the family. Cassandra found herself taking care of her younger brother and teaching him. She even signed him up for Private School. It was a success and he was accepted.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:9px;color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:'HelveticaNeue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;line-height:20px;">Days after Alexander's acceptance, Mortimer was acting quite different from his usual-self. He was actually opening up to the family now. He wasn't hiding off locked away in his room anymore. Cassandra began to finally develop a relationship with her father. She couldn't figure it out at first. Cassandra then met Dina Caliente the woman who had brought the light back into her father's dark life. <p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:9px;color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:'HelveticaNeue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;line-height:20px;">Cassandra couldn't stand Dina. They would both argue. Mortimer never seems to see this though. His new found love for Dina is enough to blind him from anything other than her. Dina was the woman to replace her mother, Bella Goth in her father's heart. Cassandra pleaded with Mortimer to drop Dina, but nothing she said would work. She stopped eventually and then asked her father to send her to Artemis Academic Boarding School.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);line-height:25.2000007629395px;"><span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:'HelveticaNeue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;line-height:20px;">Cassandra came into the Goth family just in time. With her father's <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:'HelveticaNeue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;line-height:20px;">  career  <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:'HelveticaNeue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;line-height:20px;">improvements, she was able to grow up with anything she wanted. For reasons that are only known to her, Bella, and Mortimer, Cassandra began to close up as she became a child. She was shy and a mysterious young girl. Cassandra did peculiar things, such as: talking to gravestones, staring at the fish-tank all day, and reading before she was even taught. <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:'HelveticaNeue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;line-height:20px;">Cassandra never shared with her family about these odd tasks. No one knows whether Cassandra was just letting the time pass as she talked to the gravestones or if she was truly <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:'HelveticaNeue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;line-height:20px;">  communicating  <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:'HelveticaNeue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;line-height:20px;">with spirits. Did she watch the fish all day in hopes to be able to swim? How did she learn to read without ever being taught? <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:'HelveticaNeue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;line-height:20px;">She is one mystery that may never be solved. <p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:9px;color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:HelveticaNeue,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;line-height:20px;">The only female child in the Goth family is Cassandra Goth. She is known, by many of the other people in Artemis Academic Boarding School, to be very quiet and mysterious. Nobody ever actually knows what she may be thinking.

<p style="margin:0px0px9px;color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:HelveticaNeue,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:20px;orphans:auto;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:auto;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;">Cassandra loves to stay neat. She doesn't like to be sloppy or unorganized so she makes sure to keep her room clean everyday. Bella often caught Cassandra folding her clothes and making her bed each morning. Once the mysterious barrier that Cassandra holds up against new people is broken, people begin to see that she is rather playful and an active person. Cassandra does not allow herself to become lazy, she is constantly on the move whether she is using her body or her mind. Growing up has been hard on her. Cassandra has been through a lot in her lifetime (Her mother Bella disappears, her father falls in love with the golddigger across the street) Two major flaws she holds within are that she is definitely a shy person and not too nice to those she first meets.

<p style="margin:0px0px9px;color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:HelveticaNeue,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:20px;orphans:auto;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:auto;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;">Before attending Artemis Academic Boarding School, Cassandra lived with her father, Mortimer Goth who is an early elder, and her younger brother, Alexander Goth who is only a child. Her mother, Bella Goth, had gone missing, disappearing mysteriously. She had yet to be found, in which Cassandra is determined to find her. Cassandra has grown up from the shy, young child, she was in her little years, into a teenager that is full of mystery, despair, and just a bit of kindness that allows her to love.

<p style="margin:0px0px9px;color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:HelveticaNeue,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:20px;orphans:auto;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:auto;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;">As she grew from a child into her teen years, her sight grew worse so she has to wear even bigger spectacles. Cassandra hides behind her big, black-rimmed glasses. They serve as her shields from situations she cannot face. She was not able to get rid of her black, pony-tails either. Cassandra continues to keep her hair neat and in two parts, a pony-tail on the left and the right. From troubles that continued in her life, Cassandra has deep, dark bags under her eyes that developed overtime. <p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:9px;color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:HelveticaNeue,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;line-height:20px;">Cassandra use to love the color blue, which she wore on her skirt as a child. She now loves black, which isn't a color it's a shade that exists with no color. Some say Cassandra lost all color in her soul and began to show that with what she wears. She now wears a long, black dress that she purchased at an antique goth-theme shop. Cassandra also wears black shoes to match her long dress. <p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);line-height:25.2000007629395px;">Hobbies: Talking to Gravestones, Mysteries, Staring at fish tanks, reading, and shopping at antique shops.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);line-height:25.2000007629395px;">Favorite subjects / Professions: Math, Chemistry, Psychology, History (especially Egyptian and Greek)

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);line-height:25.2000007629395px;">Weird facts: She stares at fish tanks, she talks to gravestones, she read before she even learned how to read.
