PERSONALITY:
You know that really cool, deadly chick who doesn't say a word, likes to glare and is fun to hang with because she likes to stab things? Yeah that's not Cass at all. Cassandra Perkins is a gabby chick. She likes to talk, she likes to laugh and she might be described, by a few stodgy type people, as a little crazy. She's like a fun version of the girl next door
Yes, Cass is friendly and even a little bubbly, and yes, she makes kind of weird jokes that no one gets but she can cackle for twenty minutes over, but have no doubt, she is on the offense team for the Thistle Guild. She may seem like she's laughing and not paying attention, but Cass always has an eye out. She's aware of her surrounding, and aware of what she needs to do (whether behind the bar or armed and ready to take down a Juniper agent).
Cassandra may be a smart, sociable and friendly girl, but when something to do with Juniper comes up, she changes. Complete loathe fills her at the very name of the organisation. She becomes a little reckless, ready for action, and a little free of ethics when it comes to dealing with them.
AUGMENTATION: Immortality.
1. TOLERANCE. Immortality envelops long life, invulnerability and spontaneous regeneration. The first level consists of a higher threshold for pain. First levels are able to push their bodies to the limit without too much discomfort.
2. SPONTANEOUS REGENERATION. The second level allows an Immortal to regenerate any wounds they obtain but not from death.
3. RESISTANCE. Level three allows the user to resist light attacks (e.g. small cuts and bruises) as well as resisting diseases.
4. IMMORTALITY. The final level of Immortality is true immortality. If heavily attacked, one can regenerate from death. Sometimes this regeneration is immediate with very little healing time. Other times, the regeneration can take up to days. Immortals are known to have specific weaknesses that induce extremely long regeneration times.

Since the age of thirteen, Cassandra was highly tolerant of most physical situations. Having been a gymnastics enthusiast since childhood, she found that just before she hit puberty, her body seemed to loosen up a bit. She could perform her sessions for longer and better, not because she was stronger or more flexible, but because her lowered pain-threshold allowed her to do things she couldn't do before.
By the time she turned 24, Cass became completely immortal, a level four. She came back to life from a knife wound to the gut, after a night of healing. She came back from a bullet through the chest, after three days of healing. Easy enough to say that Cass isn't afraid of much these days, except for one thing. It took her a week of healing to bring her back from an almost-drowning. She was rescued at the beach before she was under for too long, but she could never shake the feeling that if she were to suffocate for real, she wouldn't come back from that.
Six months ago, Cassandra was given the Juniper 'cure'. Had she not been immortal, she probably would have died. But after going into a coma-like state and staying there for four days and three nights, Cassandra woke up and was back the square one. She was reborn a level one immortal.
FAMILY:
Henry Perkins, father, 53, butcher.
Jessica Perkins, nee Humphrey, mother, kindergarten teacher.
Candace Perkins, sister, 26, augmented.
Clark Perkins, brother, would be 21, augmented, deceased.
HISTORY:
Cassandra's childhood was fairly normal. Her family had financial issues, but generally pushed through them. They lived in a modest four-bedroom house on Hyacinth Avenue. Perhaps the one oddity in the family was how close the children were. They rarely fought and got along extremely well, forming a close bond until each of their powers manifested.
A year before Cassandra's augmentation popped up, her brother's manifested at the tender age of seven. Strange but not unheard of. He had lancination, dangerous, especially when wielded by a child prone to tantrums. Lucky for Cass, her own ability jumped from mere tolerance to spontaneous regeneration rather quickly. Their older sister's augmentation didn't show up significantly later than Cass and Clark's.
This caused a rift, which further widened when they all entered adolescence and eventually grew up. After Cass finished school, she was approached by the Thistle Guild. They had known of other immortals and they knew that in a few years, Cassandra's healing factor would become full blown invincibility. She'd never been approached by anyone who had abilities similar to her own and found the whole idea of being with people like her own very intriguing. She also wanted to learn more about her powers.
Her first year with Thistle was spent training. She was taught the general tool of the trade (combat, espionage, etc). Her background in gymnastics and her augmentation (the latter more than the former) helped her advance quicker than the others at her level. It was soon after she became field active that her brother was recruited. At that point, Clark had significant control over his lancination and was far more motivated in Thistle's agenda than his sister was.
A few months ago, Cass and Clark went on one of their routine scouting missions. They were spying on a few Juniper agents. The Juniper officers were smarter than they thought: it was an ambush. Cassandra and Clark were taken into the lab and interviewed. Juniper found neither to be cooperative. In fact, Clark was too much trouble and they attempted to 'cure' him a day after they were taken in.
That night, Cassandra was taken by one of those higher ups with a syringe. She remembered screaming. She wanted to know where her brother was. Her question was never answered. Instead, she was 'cured'. By that stage, Cass was a level four Immortal.
Cassandra woke up in the morgue four days later. If she hadn't been so advanced in her augmentation, the cure probably would have killed her. But somehow, her augmentation brought her back. Before she escaped, Cass saw the body of her younger brother in the morgue.
When she got back to her apartment, she found a few scrapes on her arms from one of the security guards trying to stop her. She hadn't had wounds since she was fourteen. A week later, after the scrapes healed naturally, Cass discovered her level of augmentation had returned to tolerance. The Juniper didn't cure her, they reset her.
