Cassandra Cadence Davenport
FACE CLAIM: Alexandra Daddario -same as her twin sister Ashley Benson-
---------------------------------
AGE: 22
GENDER: Female
ORIENTATION: Pansexual
POSITION: College Senior -Archaeology- -works as a bartender-
POWER: Bio-Electromagnetic Field
Her body allows her to convert her body's kinetic energy into a personal electro-magnetic field. It has a few uses but basically its an EMP. At first it was chaotic and she had troubles shutting the pulse off. Now, when on she seems to have clear glow around her and a pulse that can be seen emitting from her body. She can turn it off and on and vary the size of it. From a couple of inches from her body to one big blast letting out all of the stored converted electromagnetic energy that could take out the power of an entire building.
LIMITATIONS:
Because she stores it in her body, she will have to let out a pulse occasionally as when she touches things when she has stored converted kinetic energy that has not been released. it will mess with the electrical systems in the object if there is any. So unless she lets out a pulse occasionally and keeps her kinetic energy relatively low. She can't use her phone or tv remote or other things of the sort.
It does not work on static electricity so anything powered by static electricity would be unaffected and has very little effect on the body's electrical system which would make people a little woosey and light headed if they stepped in her field but thats about it.
Her ability does not effect mechanical systems either. It can disrupt the electrical unites that some mechanical systems have. But it will not work on mechanical systems because it is kinetic and not electrical energy.
SIDE-EFFECTS:
Fatigue: Because he ability is based on converting her kinetic energy into electro-magnetic pulses. As she builds up her kinetic energy storage by moving around and it converts to electro-magnetic energy; her body has a lot of energy almost as if she was drinking caffeine. So when she releases some of this built up electro-magnetic energy by either touching something with enough stored up or letting out a pulse. She will need to catch her breath as he body will feel the effects of instantly releasing that much energy. The bigger the pulse the more energy exerted. A pulse big enough to take out all the electronics in the building would cause her to pass out and sleep for hours to regain body energy.
The Rush: As her body converts the kinetic to the electro-magnetic, when her body stores it and it is not released. She gets an itch almost a rush of energy her body wants to keep doing things and keep moving. The more she stores the worse it gets. In order to relax a little bit she needs to release it. This is very similar to a sugar rush or caffeine high. She always has an urge to release the energy within her-which gains her relaxation and reprieve- and has to will herself not to but she can only hang on so long. Its almost similar to having to pee. you can hold it for so long before you HAVE to release it. In which case she finds a place with no electrical things around and lets out a pulse. then it all starts over.
Cassandra had been asked by a her college room mate's daughter to come to her school and do an interview with her class. She did not want to, but the girl's mother was busy when she needed someone and CC just couldn't see that sad look on anyone's face. So she agreed to go to the class and get interviewed by a bunch of 8 year olds. Probably not her best decision. But it made her college room mate's daughter smile.
===========================================================
Teacher: This is really nice of you. The last few people the children have brought in to be interviewed walked out with sullen looks. I apologize ahead of time.
CC: Oh no. its fine. Its for the kids right?.
The teacher then smiled and took her into the middle of the class. She stood there, her piercing beautiful blue eyes peering out at the children, nervously biting her lip. Her dark brown locks, clasped her hair into a loose ponytail with bangs falling in the font. She had the nervous habit of biting her lip when she got nervous. Right now she was very nervous, even dreading having agreed to this.
============================================================
Teacher: Alright children, This is Ms. Cassandra Davenport. She has graciously and extremely bravely agreed to come and be interviewed by you guys today. Be nice. And Timmy.....Be Appropriate...
The class laughed as a few of them raised their hands for questions. CC looked out and pointed at one of the girls.
Julie: You are really pretty.
CC smiled and blushed a little.
CC: Thank you sweetie. That's not really a question though.
The girl then smiled and looked at her. She expected a question something like, "What is your favorite cookie?" but that is not what she got.
Julie: Why do you have metal on your tongue?
CC: My room mate and Kelly's mom in college dared me to get my tongue pierced. I did it. For the longest time I didn't like it. But now it has grown on me. I don't like the comments it gets from others but hey its something new and different about me.
============================================================
That question was a little embarrassing to answer but she did and now it was time for the next one.
That one was not so bad but the next one would have a sore spot for her. She pointed to a little boy in the class who had his hand up.
Jason: Do you have any brothers or sisters?
This was a sore topic for CC as she did have a sister. A twin sister. But her sister did something awful that ruined not only her own life but CC's as well. CC had to move away from her home and change her last name. So suddenly she had no sister as her parents disowned her, she could not be herself as she had to change her last name, she had to move to a completely different city, her whole world was turned upside down, and none of it was her own fault, It even caused her to manifest her own ability that started out very hard to control.
CC: I did once.
Jason: Oh, did they die?. move away?
CC: Not something you would understand. Lets move on to the next one.
=======================================================
Then she pointed to the next child so that they could ask their question. She ignored the mentioning of her sister and focused more on what was coming next as a question in this strange interview.
Janet: What did you want to be when you grew up?
CC: Oh...thats a good question..Well actually when I was a kid, I wanted to be many things. There was a point I think I even wanted to be a dinosaur. But after my life changed when I was around 14. I grew up. I wanted to be something that would take me away. On adventures so that I can explore the past and theorize the future which would take my mind off of the present. I wanted to be an archaeologist and live life like I should despite the people who told me I couldn't or the obstacles life threw in my way, and I'm actually doing post-grad work right now to become an archaeologist. Oh..you might not know what that is...um...Tomb Raider?
A lot of the kids went "Ohhhh" others just kind of shrugged not knowing what that was.
=======================================================
Then Cassandra pointed to the next kid. This kid had been quiet and just holding his hand up the entire time not really saying a word or laughing and or mingling with the other students. CC looked concerned for the boy.
Shawn: Have....Have you ever been bullied?
Was this boy being bullied?. The truth was there are many different kinds of bullies out there. No Cassandra had never been physically bullied but she had been emotionally bullied for most of her life since she was 14. When she went to St. Bethany's her ability was chaotic and she could not fully control it. It kept breaking people's phones and the lights and movie players, and what not in the class rooms, eventually she needed to be taken into her own classroom away from the other children that was lit by candles and taught that way her classes as well as how to control her ability. She slowly gained control but the damage had been done. People shunned her, they alienated her, they called her weird and other names, just because no one wanted to go near her because they liked their electronics. But unlike most people. This only made Cassie stronger. It drove her to mastering her ability which she did, then made her want to seek out life and adventure to prove all those kids wrong, and feel good about herself, having something she earned and fought odds for....But she did not go into all of this with the children...instead...
CC: Actually no, I have a Mestre Corda in capoeira and a black belt in brazilian jiu jitsu so...that was not an issue...however I didn't always have this...Bullies are always going to be around...I would say don't bully as I don't want anyone hurt but it likely wouldn't happen so I will say..If you are the victim..don't be the victim...let it make you stronger...let it teach you to fight back against the hardships that life throws you...You will be alright..
The boy smiled and then so did CC then she pointed to another boy who was waving his hand around frantically like kind of an idiot. She imagined he was the bad boy or class clown or something. She pointed at him to answer his question.
======================================================
Timmy: Are you a virgin?
Teacher: TIMOTHY!!
Timmy: What?
The truth was that yes. Cassandra was a virgin. She was not a prude however, well not 100% anyway. She had done some things just not the big thing. Specially since growing up she was shunned. Boys tended to avoid her. So did most girls. But she has had her crushes and heartbreaks when they lead nowhere just like any teenager. Now as an adult she just uses the fact that she keeps in shape and is physically pleasing to her advantage to get what she wants. She is very shy when it comes to feeling and relationships as she prefers to ignore them and try and block them out by doing other tasks that would take her mind off of the feelings. She does want to one day have a family that travels the world with her. But for now she feels that she is content the way she is. -Deep down she is extremely lonely and has a few friends but no one is really close enough to her to help this loneliness-
CC: Inappropriate. But yes...and I want all of you to be too until you are ready...
Teacher: Timothy get out of the class. That question was un called for.
CC: No, No. Its fine.
Timothy: I just meant to ask if she has a boyfriend or husband or something.
CC smiled then turned toward him and gave him a wink just because why not let the kid have his crush it was harmless.
CC: No, no boyfriend...No husband...actually at this point in my life I think I prefer girls....but you never know the right man might show up..
She winked again as the class laughed and the boy smiled and sat down. Then she pointed to one of the other girls she only had 3 left as each kid only got one question. she was saving Kelly for last as this was her old Room Mate's daughter who actually called her Auntie Cassie. So she already knew the answer to most of the questions..
Joanna: Is your mommy coming to pick you up too?
=======================================================
CC hated her parents. They abandoned her. Just when she needed them the most. When she was 15 and her abilities manifested she tried to hide them and her personality changed which caused her parents to act differently. When St. Bethany's came knocking-as the family had left the country and changed their name ending up in London. at their door they did not even protest when CC did not want to go. She was taken to St. Bethany's and has not heard from or even about her parents since. Once at the academy she was scared, broken, everything she had in life taken from her, her parents, her home, any love she ever felt, and even her twin sister who was her best friend before everything happened. This took its toll on her causing her to bottle in her emotions and release them as drive and determination to complete tasks. When she finished high school she did most of her college in St. Bethany's but transferred to Bellefonte to do her post-grad work because of the reputation of the city and the school and the contacts and people she could meet to better her life.
CC: No sweetie. I have no Mommy either.
Joanna: No brothers and sisters, and no Mommy. You must be sad.
Cassie hated thinking about this topic she just forced a fake smile and tried to liven up the discussion and break away from the subject.
CC: Sometimes. But I do have a Puppy. He's a pug. his name is Pixel. I have pictures if you want to see.
The kids ran to her as she took her wallet out of her purse and showed them pictures of her pug. Then one kid pointed to her purse as he had found the present that she had brought for the class...
CC: shhhhh thats a secret. two more questions and you can have it.
=======================================================
Marcus: Oh my turn....Um.....What's your favorite color? I don't know.
This was a question that Cassandra was unable to answer because Cassandra suffers from Achromatopsia which is monochromatic vision. She only sees in black and white. This means she has to wear special contact lenses that act similar to sunglasses and filter out too much light when she is in brightly lit areas, her vision is 20/20 but she does not need to process colors. This comes at an advantage and at a disadvantage as bright lights can really hurt especially if her contacts -or sunglasses she carries- are removed. But advantages because she sees better than most in the dark due to her eyes not having to adjust to color and she can perceive motion a little better for the same reason. However the way she sees colors can nearly be seen in what she wears..she likes to wear greys, blacks, whites, and other shades and tones in the monochromatic range because she can see them. Her style is different and seems to vary throughout the years however she does seem to have forgotten her fucks back home in Spokane, because she does not care if people like the way she dresses as long as it is comfortable.
CC: Actually I don't see colors. So....white?
the kids started to laugh a little and then Kelly had her hand up.
======================================================
Kelly: Ok Auntie Cassie. Its my turn.
CC: Kelly be nice to me. Remember I'm doing this for you and this has already been strange enough.
Kelly: Why do you talk funny?
A sigh of relief hit her as Kelly could have asked questions that would make her turn more red than something red-what I'm actually colorblind-...But this was not a hard question...She had spent nearly 10 years in London since she was 14..She grew up there and picked up a very subtle accent. Not heavy but noticeable almost as if she had been a British person who had lived for 10 years in america and the accent had diluted. Similar effect. Kelly's mom was british but her dad was american and Kelly grew up in the US and did not pick up the accent from her mom.
CC: I lived in London, since I was just a few years older than you guys. I picked up the accent and the way they talk. It may go away with time. But I kind of like it.
Then she reached into her purse and pulled out a casserole dish filled with home made brownies covered in Saran wrap. The kids all started jumping up and down and she put the brownies down on the desk for the kids to all have some then she walked over and gazed out the window at the fastness of the new city she had only been in for a just over a week. This was going to be an interesting and fun adventure.
