ethnicity :: Korean
nationality :: Korean-American
languages ::

• English; Native [She lived abroad for over 11 years]

—〈beautiful you〉
face claim :: Lee Jieun // IU
back-up face claim :: Kim Seuk Hye
appearance :: She has a mole on her right cheek and a scar on her left wrist. She actually wanted to get a nose job but was told not to. She is 164cm tall and she weights 45kg. Apparently, she has a fast body metabolism and she could get hungry right after eating, but she won't gain any weight no matter how much she eats.
style :: She prefers anything casual and comfortable. She doesn't care about the brand, just give her anything that isn't overdone and she'll go with it if she thinks it goes well with her. She usually dresses up ever so simply, in a comfortable top with short shorts or mini skirt. Black is a safe colour for her. 80% of the clothing that you'll be finding in her wardrobe is in black. All those random colours that she wears are usually from sponsors and obviously she can't not wear them. And of course some girls would have a dress day and she has no resentments towards dresses, as a matter of fact she likes wearing dresses. She will be wearing dresses on days that she feels like it'll be a good day the moment she woke up.

—〈nobody's perfect〉
personality ::

(+) Observant; Honest; Adventurous; Organised; Tidy; Positive; Independent

(-) Quiet; Anti-social; Selfish; Clumsy; Straight-forward; Incoherent 

• Back when she was younger, she barely had any friends. It was all because everyone she met kept comparing her to her sister. Her sister is pretty. She is talented too. You could say Tiffany was miss popular even when they're in California while Cassandra was just another plain student. She gets it. Her sister is a great person. But can't they try to spare her a glance? That's the reason why she stopped making friends. The only people she ever talks to is her siblings. Of course she had no harsh feelings towards her own sister. It was all those people that had done her wrong, not her sister. 

• All you could get from her outer appearance is that Cassandra is very cold and quiet. Coming from those, people interpreted that the reason why she is like that is because she is arrogant and too full of herself. That's what happened after she stopped talking to her so called 'friends'. Rumours spread and no one befriended her ever since. She prefered to be alone anyways so it wasn't her loss. Besides, she got tired of having all those fake auras surrounding her. Now she could enjoy the peace and quietness through out her life in school.

• She lacked emotions. She barely made any great memories through out her life. Everything was plain and she was never the kind of person to try out newer things or meeting new people. Talking about people, she barely had any friends. She is not someone that would know what to talk about or when to talk so she never really tried. And since Cassandra barely talked to humans, other than her siblings that is, she sort of communicates well with nature. That's why she's often out and about on free days. She spends most of her time walking around parks, breathing fresh air and taking photos of nature. It's her form of relaxation. Everything mother nature had to offer amazed her till no end and it's wonderful how she could find peace when she's stuck in nature.

• Cassandra is a clumsy being. She would accidentally hit the table, the floor, the bed, the chair, basically everything. There isn't a day that passes without Cassandra hurting herself. That is a way to describe just how clumsy she is. It isn't an exaggeration. Not at all. She normally reacts without thinking, thats when things starts to mess up. If you take a close look at her, her body is actually full of scars and bruises. Apparently Cassandra has been clumsy ever since she was a toddler. The results of her clumsiness was the scar on her left wrist. She was on a hurry and sort of poured the tea on her hand instead of the cup. She had fall down multiples of times and also bumped onto random objects a few times. She has gotten used to it, the tiny bits of pain that she gets after bumping into things.

• She is an organised person. She likes keeping her things in order since she is rather clumsy and she tends to lose some things so keeping them organised helps her alot. She could find things easier and faster that way. Plus, when things are tidy, she feels very light and she could do her work without any worries. It's very troublesome when she meets unorganised people. There was a time in school when she was placed beside this very untidy person and she was often troubled by the kind of mess that he would leave like how could someone live in such a situation. When she couldn't stand it, she started organising his things for him almost everyday. She doesn't mind, she just wants a clean and neat surrounding.

• She is rather calm with dealing such big situations. She has been like that ever since she was little - to never rush matters and take them in open mindedly. She had always tried to think of things in a positive way manner and understanding it before pointing out that it is indeed bad. Most people acknowledge her of being matured and reserved despite her young age. But as she grew up, she found comfort in being carefree and letting the world see and hear her smiles and laughter. Being in the group made her realise that maybe it's time to have friends again and Acadia played a big part in making her realise that.

background :: Born in Diamond Bar, California. Her family wasn't exactly close knitted. Maybe everyone is, except for their father who is always out for work. Things started to change after the death of their mother, the person who raised them up. Their father was still busy with work and the siblings soon got used to it. The two oldest of the siblings, Michelle and Leo, took care of Tiffany and Cassandra. They did house chores and cooked, they were basically happy with just them, the Hwang siblings. Two years after their mother's death, Tiffany got scouted by SM Entertainments and later moved to Seoul to start her trainee life. Knowing that her younger sister has the same interests as her, she allowed her sister to tag along with her because she could get plenty of chances to audition. Once Cassandra landed on Seoul, she started finding information on how to audition and which company would be good to join. During that time, she got scouted by the founder of a company that had just recently started, XY Media. She thought it wouldn't hurt to try especially since the owner himself invited her.

—〈they matter〉
family ::

• Father | Stephen Hwang | October 18 1968 | Business Owner | Irresponsible; Stubborn; Sturdy | 4
She isn't very close to her father. Cassandra and her sister, Tiffany, moved away to South Korea in order to fulfil their dream despite their father's disapprovement towards their dream. That's why she is rather distant with her father. 

• Sister | Michelle Hwang | November 12 1981 | Anthropologist | Responsible; Loving; Intelligent | 7
Michelle took care of Cassandra well since she is the oldest. She cooks for the family and does all the chores after their mother left them. She acted like the mother in the family and Cassandra is grateful to have a sister like her. 

• Brother | Leo Hwang | August 1 1988 | Businessman | Caring; Hilarious; Fun | 7
Leo is always around to tease Cassandra just like how older brothers normally do to their sisters. He often takes her out to eat or watch movies at the theater whenever she asks him. He would talk to her or call her when she is far away just to make a few jokes. He is a great brother and he is always there to cheer her up.

• Sister | Stephanie Hwang Miyoung | August 1 1989 | Idol | Cheerful; Loving; Smart | 9
Stephanie or better known as Tiffany is a wonderful sister towards Cassandra. Cassandra has been practicing her vocals and dancing with her since they both share the same dream. They also went to South Korea together in order to achieve their dreams. During their trainee days and also after debut, they would meet up and go shopping or visit the theme park whenever they're free from scheduel.

friends ::

• Friend | Yoo Jiae | May 21 1993 | Idol | Gullible; Modest; Sincere | 6
After getting to know Sungyeol, Cassandra has been joining Infinite on plenty of occasions. Since Jiae used to be in Infinite's reality show 'You Are My Oppa', she treated Infinite like her real brothers even after the show ended so there are times when she would hang out with the boys, that was also how she met Cassandra. They were both connected to Infnite in a way and that was how they became friends. They exchanged contact numbers and started going to the mall or a cafe together, just like normal girl friends. Jiae is one of the nicest soul she has ever met. Jiae would always bring her to places that she has never been to since it hasn't been long since she came to Seoul. She would often send texts to cheer up Cassandra. Cassandra noticed that Jiae was genuine with every single thing that she has done and she doesn't asks for anything back. 

others ::

• That cute person who lives next door | Lee Sungyeol | August 27 1991 | Idol | Considerate; Understanding; Cheerful; Talkative | 8
During Cassandra's trainee period and after her debut at SM Entertainments, she was assigned to a dorm that was literally facing Infinite's dorm. Whenever they are going out for practice or outing, the would see each other and maybe bump into each other on the way to the elevator.  

—〈how strong you are!〉
trainee years :: 4 years

• XY Media; 3 years 4 months
• SM Entertainment; 8 months [She trained a little bit more after XY closed down]

trainee history :: The actual reason why she's in this industry is because she wants to debut as a soloist. It's so much better that way, she could go with whatever concepts there is without having difficulties from other members that couldn't do it, she dosn't have to worry about splitting her income and she would get the spotlight. The spotlight that she had always wanted. It's tiring to always be overshadowed by her own sister, that's the main reason why she wants to become a soloist. She for once, wants all the attention to be on her. She wants people to see that she is just as worth. Being a soloist benefitted her in more ways than one. Three long years of training, she's been tryng so hard because she really wants this. Imagine the look on her face when she was told that she is going to debut in a girl group. It upsets her how her hard work didn't really paid off. They said she didn't have the potential to be a soloist. Some part of her believes that they're lying and they're not thinking of debuting another soloist in another few years, especially since Leah's debut was not too long ago. But she still agreed since had used up three years and four months of training, who knows how much longer she has to wait if she declined the offer to be in Acadia.  
pre-debut activities :: x

stage name :: Cassandra
persona :: The Mysterious Charmer [She is quiet which makes her rather mysterious and she charms people that way] 
position :: Lead Vocalist, Lead Rapper
singing twin :: Han Seungyeon | KARA [If you think Seungyeon is abit too strong for a lead vocalist then I'll be changing it to Bae Suzy of Miss A]
rapping twin :: Kang Jiyoung | ex KARA
dancing twin :: Park Chorong | Apink

—〈how unfortunate〉
reaction :: Cassandra had expect something like this to happen, because let's face it, XY is a small company and she saw just how tired Leah was - Leah was selling out like hot cakes and the company used that to their advantage without even considering the idol herself. But although she had expected this, she still felt a pang of shock. It is all too early and it upsets her since she started enjoying her life in a girl group. She grew attached towards the girls and she learned so much from them, she was having so much fun. Why now? She asked the question though she knows she won't be getting an answers in return and of course you can't go back in time to turn things around. She just had to accept the ugly truth. She packed her bags as fast as possible because she doesn't want to spend too much time here, because she might crumble and might not be able to move on. That's why she was the first to step out of their dorm. She left with a simple "thank you", her gratitude after all the years of tears and pain that they've spent together, they taught her so much and she knows she can't repay them back with just a couple of wordings but she did anyway because that's as much as she could do.  
aftermath :: Cassandra was the first to leave their dorm. She actually put some thought on this already so as soon as step foot out of the dorm, she knew where she was headed. SM Entertainments. She has been planning on joining SM since the start. Well for starters, her sister is there as the vocalist of a very popular girl group. Plus, SM Entertainments is a big company that has been releasing successful idols and they don't seem like they're having an issue with money so everything was very promising compared to XY Media. After a short period of training at SM Entertainments, she finally got what she wanted since the start, to debut as a soloist. Her debut was a hit and she kept on coming back with better albums. Cassandra had also made her debut as an actress as she starred in Dream High and she had acted also in multiple music videos. 
 

—〈ah... love is in the air〉

love interest one :: Kim Woobin (model/actor)
back-up :: Hong Jonghyun (model/actor)
personality :: Woobin is a sweet talker. He knows how to treat a girl and knows what she would like. But that's that. Though he knows how to charm a girl, he's not your typical playboy. Once he initiates himself in a relationship, he gives it his all. Soft spoken, kind hearted, caring, he's a complete set of a perfect man. Though it does takes some time for him to open up and show his actual self, but he is a confident person and he would know when is the right time and if that person is the right one. He wouldn't simply throw himself just for anyone.   
first meeting :: He was nothing but an eyecandy to her and the thought of actually meeting him never really occured to her. But apparently they met on a photoshoot for a clothing brand. They were told to act like a campus couple for the shots they took together so there was plenty of skinship and they had to try and get close with each other for real to make the photos come out as real. Later on they met on another photoshoot for an ice cream commercial. They had a lot of fun working together and they ended up exchanging contact numbers since they were already acquainted and felt comfortable with each other.
the story :: Photoshoots after photoshoots, they keep meeting up for work because apparently the productions like how the pair has a great balance of seriousness and playfulness during work. They complete their work in a light atmosphere and the results are fantastic. They exchanged numbers and instead of meeting for work, they met up as acquaintances and had a nice talk at the cafe. Then another meet up where they played and had fun at the water theme park and they kept on seeing each other for both work and fun.
relationship :: The model friends [Since they keep meeting up for a photoshoot]

love interest two :: Lee Sungyeol (idol)
back-up :: Lee Jaehwan // Ken (idol)
personality :: Sungyeol is those super loud and dorky kind of person. He'll just entertain you through out the time you spend with him. But there's more than meets the eye. Behind that endlessly childish person, he is very thoughtful and understanding. It's not something that you could sense right away but if you paid close attention towards the little gestures that he's done, you'll be warmed by him.
first meeting :: Their story started when Cassandra was going out to get some fresh air, she suddenly got upset after thinking about Acadia and XY Media so she walked out of the dorm, bringing along her camera with her. Unfortunaly, Sungyeol lost to a game that Infinite played and he was suppose to run an errand. They literally bumped into each other, hitting each other on the head, while heading towards the elevator. They apologised each other and instead of acting awkward and distant like how normal strangers should, they laughed like idiots right after the occurence. On the elevator, Sungyeol apologised once again and offered her out as he felt sorry for the recent accident. She didn't like the man any less so she nodded in agreement.
the story :: From stealing glances at the cute person next door, they grew closer after the terrible collision on their first actual meeting. The warm Sungyeol brightens up the cold Cassandra after each meeting. He tells her jokes and makes her laugh like she never thought she would. Sungyeol enjoyed playing pranks on her and Cassandra started developing a mischievous trait thanks to Sungyeol.
relationship :: The tight bonded neighbours

—〈we'll meet again. promise.〉
comments :: Phew, I'm finally done! Spent about two weeks on this thing. Wipes imaginary tears and sweat.
Oh, and just to get this straight, Tiffany was born in San Francisco but she grew up in Diamond Bar, which means that a couple of years or months after she was born she moved to Diamond Bar. So apparently, Cassandra came after they moved. And sorry about the password but I can't make up my mind and go with once one song. I'm sorry if some of the informations are not enough, do tell me if you want me to add in some more detail. I'm not really good at writing, I admit. Some of what I wrote might not even make sense but yeah, I hope you could understand the character that I'm trying to potray and see how she changes after time. It will be great if you like her.
