Cassie normally thinks that bad people can be changed for the better, and that everyone can be given a second chance (especially if they want to do better), so she tends to try to give someone a chance to get to know them even if everyone says they're a bad person. (I mean, she literally is in the VDLG, so that probably influenced this lmao). But when it came to Micah, she was like

Sad over Cassie's name meaning hours

This actually makes me think, even though it's probably not related to the actual meaning at all, that Cassie is kind of shining over men. She was the prized jewel of her father, the one that was used to market the good reputation of the Roosevekr family. William Jr, Cassie's father, was a charming man who ran a successful scheme and helped foster their reputation, but I think it wouldn't have been as successful if Cassie wasn't there. Cassie was an extension of her father (humble, nice, kind, respectful, polite) and anything she did, reflected upon him and their name. So idk in a way, the business and their reputation relied upon Cassie more than her father. Whether you follow Cassie getting a happy, successful ending or a misfortune one, Cassie kind of "shined" beyond her father.

NAME,   Cassie Maurice Roosevelt

NICKNAME,   give her one

GENDER, Cisfemale

ORIENTATION,   Demisexual, biromantic

PREFERRED  PET  NAMES,   No preferences

RELATIONSHIP  STATUS,   Single

FAVORITE  CANON  SHIP( S ),  Originally, when I first created her, I shipped her with Sean, but they have become more of a older brother-younger sister dynamic in my head, so none? I haven't really shipped her with anyone in the game. Usually Cassie falls into platonic or familal dynamics in general. I do want to write her in more romantic dynamics.

FAVORITE  NON-CANON  SHIP( S ),  It has to be @colecassiidy 's Cole. I haven't been able to get to our threads with Cassie for a bit, but I deeply enjoy their dynamic. They started out platonic, but as we started interacting it became increasingly obvious that Cole and Cassie liked each other more than friends. I love how we built up this whole backstory for them, how their fathers are similar but they are two different social classes, and how they are intertwined in their past, but met in the events of r.dr2, and how different they are, yet how they have remained the same. Their friendships and their feelings have basically remained the same through all of that, and idk I like the slow burn with them lmao.

OPINION  ON  TRUE  LOVE,   Cassie believes in it, even if she never experienced it herself as a default. Cassie doesn't know how true love couldn't exist entirely. Somewhere, someplace out there, true love exists for someone. With how many people are out there in the world, how isn't there her true equal that has nothing but sincere intentions? She has learned that life is hard and cutthroat, but in all that evil, there's goodness somewhere and that's what makes it all worth it to keep living.

OPINION  ON  LOVE  AT  FIRST  SIGHT,   Call her naive, but she does believe in love at first sight. She believes in the idea of soulmates. She thinks that if she has an other half, you would know immediately. There''s no denying it.

HOW  ‘ROMANTIC’  ARE  THEY,   Cassie is a hopeless romantic. She's not into PDA because of the standards and expectations she grew up in, but Cassie is very romantic. Cassie will express it, but she more of shows it through gift-giving and acts of service. Cassie wants to find someone she can pour her love into and someone who can do the same for her.

IDEAL  PHYSICAL  TRAITS,   Cassie doesn't really focus on physical traits, she's more into personality, but maybe a more of a gentle look? Youthful traits? Clean shaven? Lean? She prefers for someone to be taller than her.

IDEAL  PERSONALITY  TRAITS,   Gentle, kind, sensitive, good sense of humor, emotionally intelligent, hardworking, devoted.

UNATTRACTIVE  PHYSICAL  TRAITS,   This sounds so bad, but wrinkles, poor mouth hygiene, body odor, unkempt hair, dirty and muddy appearance

UNATTRACTIVE  PERSONALITY  TRAITS,   Cruel, self-righteous, narcissistic, manipulative, selfish, murderous, self-centered, egoistic, grumpy, hot tempered, unpredictable, possessive, jealousy.

IDEAL  DATE,   Just sitting down and talking anywhere. Preferably something more lowkey to where there won't be many distractions and more alone, quiet time. A walk by the water, sitting in a field, teaching someone about flowers and gardening, and doing an activity together that way.

DO  THEY  HAVE  A  TYPE,   Not really? I guess maybe either charming, sensitive people, or extroverted individuals. Just someone she feels safe around.

AVERAGE  RELATIONSHIP  LENGTH,   Long-term monogamous relationships. Usually she only toys with a relationship if she plans to marry the other person. Cassie hasn't had a relationship before though.

PREFERRED  NON-SEXUAL  INTIMACY,   Kissing the back of her hand or embracing her, usually just quiet intimacy.

COMMITMENT  LEVEL,   Cassie wants to settle down with someone. I think Cassie tends to draw toxic people towards her because of her empathetic and kind anture, so if she can see the best in them, if she can see their potential, it can turn ugly if she decides to get in a relaitonship with them because she's committed. Of course, she desn't stay in these relaitonships when they turn ugly, but when she loves you, Cassie loves you. But in a healthy scenario, she would commit herself to her partner with all of her heart.

OPINION  OF  PUBLIC  AFFECTION,   Cassie isn't comfortable with PDA. She prefers for affection to be exchanged alone or indoors just because of how she grew up, with how she has to be polite and reversed.

PAST  RELATIONSHIPS,   Cassie hasn't had a relationship before and maybe her idea of a romantic relationship is rose-tinted, very fairytale-esque, but I think having no prior relationship experience and coming from a manipulative father can be a bad motivator for anyone with bad intentions for Cassie in a relationship (just with her inexperience).

When it comes to Cassie's role in the gang, she's not involved in the whole violence and bloodshed aspect of it. She helps with the chores (usually meal prep, laundry, sewing, etc), acts as the camp gardener (putting her plants in small cardboard boxes filled with dirt so she can easily travel them back and forth), and will act as a distraction on missions if asked. She might be able to provide some more insight to the gang on what occurs in Saint Denis and in the upper-class portion of it because of her socialite past. But Cassie strays from violence because she has killed before, but was basically manipulated in doing so, so it brings up a lot of trauma and uncomfortable feelings for her. So, she usually doesn't try to kill anyone (just disarm). I think she would even be uncomfortable in a self-defense scenario if she killed whoever she fought. She's far from a helpless individual.

Cassie: haha what's a joke

Sean: I'm about to reinvent the idea of a joke to the rich socialite ;))))

Likeable person & dislikeable person test

* Cassie Roosevelt

[sharp-teeth-and-archived]

Big brain moment with my ocs crossing over:

Eleanor would absolutely get invested in the scummy practices of Cassie's dad and probably write an article about it. Once she realizes the impact it has on Cassie and what her article might've influenced a bit, she takes a lot of pity on Cassie and tries to resolve her past mistakes by helping her house. (Like giving her a space to live in, maybe pitch a book idea to her to try to clear her name, but Cassie ultimately doesn't take it up). This doesn't cover the whole shock Eleanor would go through if she wrote about Cassie's dad, then took up the Blackwater Masscare-VDLG story she has in her main verse, and then met Cassie through that story.

I feel like Eleanor and Cassie would sort of relate to one another with having shady/criminal parents. Eleanor being the daughter of two train robbers/outlaws and being taken in by her grandmother. She always wanted to know her parents, which is partly why she investigates criminals (like Dutch) to try to get a better idea of what their mindset was like. But also having the void feeling of having no parents, but being taken in by someone. So he had no connection with her parents, only her caregiver/guardian. Cassie knew her dad, of course, but was blind to his criminal practices and was manipulated half of the time. But Cassie also feels a disconnect with her father, who he was and how she never got close to him. This only got worse when she learned of her father's schemes.

𝐒𝐄𝐍𝐒𝐄 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐒𝐏𝐄𝐂𝐈𝐅𝐈𝐂 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐂𝐀𝐍𝐎𝐍𝐒

WHAT DOES YOUR MUSE SMELL LIKE? If we're sticking to the time period and running all the time with the VDLG: dirty lmao. But honestly, I imagine Cassie always has a floral perfume on. So either a floral perfume, or a fresh, clean smell if that makes sense. Like clothes out of the laundry. This would likely be during her childhood. In the VDLG, she probably smells a bit like horse, dirt (around her hands since she gardens), and whatever plant she was interacting with that day. I don't think this would be a bad smell, but more of an alive smell if that makes sense? There's less a polished, structured routine to it.

WHAT DO YOUR MUSE’S HANDS FEEL LIKE? I think in her childhood, her hands are soft since she didn't have to do any manual work. With the VDLG, having to sew, do laundry, garden, and more hands on work, I think her hands hardened a bit more. I think they are softer than most of the men's hands in the gang, but not as soft as they used to be.

WHAT DOES YOUR MUSE USUALLY EAT IN A DAY?  Cassie actually eats a relatively healthy, balanced diet. She almost always has to have fruit or veges, meat, and she really loves mashed potatoes, or green beans to the side. With the VDLG running around, its hard to do that since while Cassie has a few vege plants in the wooden plant boxes she uses, seasons and constantly moving can diminish and affect their quality.

DOES YOUR MUSE HAVE A GOOD SINGING VOICE? Yeah? I don't like saying Cassie is good at everything, because she isn't. She would probably get a few compliments, but in no way is she a songbird or anything. She had some practice with her voice when she was young and she enjoys singing, but through the years, her singing voice kind of diminished in quality because she doesn't practice enough. Her singing isn't an innate trait, by any means.

DOES YOUR MUSE HAVE ANY BAD HABITS OR NERVOUS TICKS? Cassie does smoke, she bites the ends of her pens when thinking, and she doesn't really save money well. Cassie could basically buy anything she wanted as a kid (she had to go through her dad first), and since money was never an issue until later in her childhood, Cassie tends to spend money quickly when she has it. Cassie was never in control of her money, so she tends to spend it more often. (She still fals into the trap of buying luxury items, too).

WHAT DOES YOUR MUSE USUALLY LOOK LIKE / WEAR? I have some outfits saved in her pinterest board, but basically she just wears dresses all the time. Cassie doesn't feel comfortable wearing pants or anything, even if she is an outlaw. Here's an old picrew of her that kidn of resembles what she usually wears. It changes a lot depending on the weather, but dresses and skirts really. In a modern verse, Cassie dresses more simple and loves wearing short sleeve shirts with overalls that are fitted). For her looks, Cassie basically is perfectly encapsulated by her fc: L.iana L.iberato. I think Cassie has a bit more texture and curl in her hair than what's usually shown in her icons, sort of like the image below.

IS YOUR MUSE AFFECTIONATE? HOW SO?  Oh yeah. I wouldn't say physical touch is her love language, but I think Cassie is pretty touch starved from her sheltered upbringing. her father wasn't really affectionate. I think Cassie would like an affectionate partner. In general: Sure? I would say Sean is a little bit more affectionate in nature, but Cassie doesn't mind a hug from a friend.

WHAT POSITION DOES YOUR MUSE SLEEP IN?  She either sleeps on her side, curled up or her back. She changes her position throughout the night.

COULD YOU HEAR YOUR MUSE IN THE HALLWAY FROM ANOTHER ROOM? No. Cassie grew up having to be quiet and to find ways to distract herself because her father was often busy in his office, working on things and going through his ledger, or meeting with others. She grew up with the frame of mind that children shouldn't really be seen, or heard unless she was greeting someone or her father wanted her to charm someone and make them comfortable in her home. Even at parties when she had to speak with others to kind of promote her father's business, she always stayed respectful and tried to prevent as much distress and annoyance as possible.

INTIMACY  &  RELATIONSHIP  PREFERENCES  GUIDE (  as always,  repost don’t reblog  )

* 𝐂𝐀𝐒𝐒𝐈𝐄 𝐑𝐎𝐎𝐒𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐋𝐓

ROMANTIC ORIENTATION:  biromantic.

SEXUAL ORIENTATION:   demisexual.

SEXUAL ROLES:   dominant. submissive.  versatile.  

PENETRATIVE PREFERENCES:  d.ick, fingers, idk. no a.nal.

POSITIONS AS A TOP:  being ridden.  missionary.  lotus.  doggy.  flatiron.  legs on shoulders.  standing up.  standing while partner sits on surface.  spooning.  side by side.

POSITIONS AS A BOTTOM: riding.  missionary.  lotus.  doggy.  flatiron.  legs on shoulders.  standing up.  sitting on surface. spooning.  side by side.  

SEXUAL RELATIONSHIPS: monogamous.  polyamorous.  open.  swinging.  hook-ups.  platonic.

ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS:  monogamous. polyamorous.  open.  casual.  committed.  

RELATIONSHIP ROLES: dominant.  submissive. equal.  nurturing. being nurtured. monetary provider.  monetarily dependent. shared monetary burden. independent monetary responsibility. manages household. shares household management. prefers independent living spaces.  likes having household managed by partner.

THOUGHTS ON MARRIAGE: She would like to get married for love, that was the hope once, but as her circumstances really shifted, she is open to marriage for monetary or social status stability. She would prefer if its with someone she can get along with than someone she doesn't get along with at all.

DOES YOUR MUSE GET JEALOUS/POSSESSIVE?: Not really. If Cassie feels like she's "second best" then she will address it with her partner after atime of contemplation. Cassie doesn't like conflict and tends to reserve her feelings insdie for a while. She doesn't get to a pint to where they boil over, but it gets close. She gets to a point that it's all she can think about, so she adresses it then. She also doesn't want to be posessive over someone, it leaves an ugly aftertaste in her mouth. She still holds onto the idea that jealousy and posessiveness isn't ladylike, a woman of her status (even if she's basically lower class now) shouldn't act in that way and she has no justification for it.

DOES YOUR MUSE LIKE POSSESSIVE PARTNERS?: No. Cassie had to deal with a controlling parent for a majority of her childhood, even if she realized the controlling nature of her father way, way late. At first, she will treat this behavior with empathy and try to find if there's a solution for it (like if Cassie is causing this possessive behavior), btu if it continues, she will lose interest in the relationship. Cassie might be kind hearted and really empathetic, she can make compromises, but she knows her limits even if it takes her a while to get the confidence to declare them.

DO THEY LIKE DOM/SUB ROLES IN ALL ASPECTS OF RELATIONSHIPS? ( i.e. dom’s responsibility both sexually and in life is to take care of the sub and look after them. sometimes utilizing sexual and nonsexual rewards/punishments to incentivize them to carry out self care or other responsibilities ): No. Cassie isn't into this dynamic as a whole anyway, inside and outside the bedroom. She wants her partner and her to be equal, even with the gender roles of the time period. She still takes a feminine role that might seem "sub-ish" with how she's basically the caretaker and nurturer and she's a bottom, but she isn't really into this idea. She isn't into punishments either. Rewards, maybe, but not punishments. She likes more sensual and soft intimacy.

WHAT DOES AFTERCARE LOOK LIKE TO THEM?: Oh god I'm not sure? I don't think Cassie even knows what aftercare is. She knows the basics of sex and usually equates it with baby making, but I think she likes the quietness after intimacy. The coming down of the "high." The slowing of breath, the soft touches. I think she likes it if her partner praises her, is affectionate with her. Maybe gets her something to eat (like fruit). Just sort of comforting her and providing for her..

WHAT ARE WAYS THEY PREFER TO BUILD EMOTIONAL INTIMACY?: Conversation, mostly. She really likes to connect with someone through that. Cassie grew up very lonely and she was often stuck in her house with not many to talk to. (Don't tell anyone but she often talks to her plants while gardening for this reason). She liked formal events and parties because she could speak with others and she genuinely has a passion for talking to others. She thinks humans are such unique creatures that all have their own stories and takeaways that she's interested in knowing others on an individual level. This interest in others can often make her gullible and naive since Cassie lived a very sheltered life, she assumes that everyone is good and often gives people more chances than others would for this reason (until she would eventually cut them of as well). So she may not know that someone is taking advantage of her (like how other women at parties would speak with her and try to gain a friendship for her for social status reasoning). BUT ANYWAY: just speak with her. If there's a good chemistry with her and conversation just click naturally, that allows for Cassie to be more emotionally vulnerable. If she has that trust and connection made, she'll let her worries, fears, and other more vulnerable emotions loose. She usually tries to conceal these, usually veiling them with positivity, because of her naturally falling into the nurturing, caretaking role that must have everything together. Her father was never one to express much with his emotions, she didn't have a strong emotional connection with him, so she often hides away her emotions. He only showed emotion around her when he was seeking advice or comfort when really stressed, so Cassie has always been slotted into that caretaking role. She puts others emotions before her own. I'm rambling, but just speak with her. Make that connection and there a emotion intimacy will form.

Just rambling about my beloved Cassie

Putting this under a read more because it got quite wrong. I ramble a lot in it, but I find it also important to post here. I was filling out a dash game for my other blog and I would post it here in full... but it’s quite... suggestive in nature. So I threw it on my other blog. But outside of that, this part isn’t suggestive and it’s actually more wholesome than anything else. I found this important characterization to also post here.
