Cassiopeia
Celestial House
20 | Female | Mixed-Unicorn, heritage unknown
Biography
Cassiopeia comes from a well established family of unicorns, with their notoriety not necessarily coming from any traditional means. While they were definitely smart, some skilled in magic, and had a good bit of wealth, they were mostly known for their eccentricities. For instance, though they could’ve rather obviously done renovations, Cassiopeia’s childhood home was a rickety wooden mansion that generations of her family had been raised in- one personalized with a homemade observatory at the very top. She was not raised traditionally either. As a filly, she was rather isolated, and raised mostly by her grandparents.
Given that she was raised living in what looked like a haunted mansion and with such "colorful" relatives, it doesn't really need much explanation as to why she had little friends her age. This fact however, didn't bother her at all! On the contrary, being raised solely by her grandmother (who thought very highly of their bloodline, mind you), she gathered a deep sense of familiar pride and a few misconceptions that run deep; she wasn't asked to play because her family was simply too intimidating, or was envied for her family's fortune. She has a few odd traits because as her family believes, she is astronomically destined for greatness (with the eventual goal of becoming an alicorn).
This belief was implanted mainly through an early, steady diet of her grandmother's stories, and though she was expected to eventually grow out of it, she never did- and isn't afraid to tell all about it. Along with that, she has picked up a number of her grandmother's odd little superstitions as well as a detailed timeline of the family. Because of this, she's worked very hard to study for the very best education she could get under the tutelage of her mother, a mare who while a great magic user, otherwise is quite paranoid and cooped up in the observatory.
As of now, Cassiopeia is a hardworking, dedicated student determined to show the universe her grand benevolence! She is going to be an alicorn after all, right? So, its only natural she spends all of her time helping her classmates, even if they don't ask, or asked her not to. But certainly, they'll be thankful later! Anyway, she's almost a wannabe "mom friend" there, except a little bit too nosy- even though she's very very very dedicated to helping once she's decided she will. Heck, she'll study with you all night if she has to! With one deliberately placed, hour long nap past 3 AM, of course.
Well, obviously, what a regular unicorn can do. As a bonus, her eyes hold almost the same magical properties her horn does! They will have the same magical aura when using, can be used to cast spells, etc, and are pretty convenient when casting on herself; she can, pretty easily, alter her own vision to see in the dark, see very far away, glow brightly... quite a bit, almost as one would regularly focus or unfocus their vision. However, trying to prolong these effects for too long can be uncomfortable. Oh, and... She’s very good at styling hair, from practicing on her grandmother’s.
Additional Information
-Though she has her flaws, at heart, she really values kindness to others and loves to help, albeit even a bit forcefully if she feels she really can (which she does often, since to herself, obviously everypony could use her help). She does her very best to always work hard and improve herself to be the best she can, which is obviously glorious and inevitable.
-She has a fluffy white cat named Novella! She’s very old now, and for the most part normal- but, as a result of Cassiopeia’s earlier dabbling in unsupervised magic that might’ve involved a little experimenting, she has the occasional sneeze of stardust, is inexplicably found in the most precarious of resting places... Cassiopeia is still trying to figure out all that’s going on with that.
Abilities
Special Eyes- Cassieopia, while having he average magic of a unicorn, is able to utilize her eyes in much the same way as her horn! When using her magic, they will have the same aura as her horn would, and they can be used to cast spells, particularly on herself.
Perception Alteration- She can alter her own vision to see further away, and for her eyes to glow brightly to aid as a lamplight. Using these effects for too long can become rather uncomfortable.
Hairdresser- She's very good at styling hair from practicing on her grandmother's mane.
