	Cassandra is a little under average height but has a good physique from an active childhood followed by thorough training for her job in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP). Generally considered attractive in a girl-next-door kind of way, her Chinese heritage is notable in her appearance with classic features such as naturally dark brown hair and eyes. Although incredibly fit, Cassandra's figure is not a size 0 and, although she could change it if she wishes, has no ~~inclindation~~ to do so. Like most Senya, Cassandra can change her appearance to anything she wants - but rarely does so. For the last decade she masqueraded as "Miranda Kales" and that persona was more slender and had blonde hair, but since she retired that persona has kept her appearance almost natural (she admits to having "correctively tweaked" a few ~~little things like the edge of one of her ears and an originally-slightly bent nose~~).

	Cassandra isn't fashion-conscious and, although she enjoys spending time with her friends and allies, does not usually dress to impress. She wears what she finds comfortable, which is almost always trousers or jeans of some sort, along with t-shirts, shirts, blouses and hoodies of various types. She does not have any one identifiable style and, although on occasion she might be spotted in a more renown fashion clothing, most of her clothing is off-the-shelf Walmart or Macy's. Nevertheless, she does seem to have good taste and looks attractive in what she wears - though she's unlikely to ever impress at Elysium. She does have a respectable array of earrings, however, and these vary - with studs and similar being common when she's working or casual, and hoops or other dangling types when she's being more sociable or glamorous.

	~~No information~~ in ~~database~~.		Cassandra can be either very easy to deal with, or nearly impossible - depending on what side of the proverbial fence you are on. If your interests align - generally meaning to protect others, enforce Clan/Camarilla laws or assist her when fulfilling her role in the APD or 40 Shillings Investigations, then she is naturally helpful, friendly, loyal and, literally, willing to put her unlife on the line for others. If you're on the other side, a lawbreaker to Clan or Camarilla lwas (or, if kine, Ashford laws) or a threat to the city, then she is terrifyingly uncompromising, stubborn and fearless. If you broke the law, and her job is for you to go in, the only thing that can get her to back off is clear evidence that further pursuit would cause the situation to escalate to an even worse problem (such as breaking the masquerade or costing the lives of innocents). And even then, this would be a temporary reprieve - she would not "let it go" unless told to do so by an acknowledged superior. In this regards, years of service have instilled in her a natural disconnection from Cassandra the person and Cassandra the lawkeeper. If told by a superior to drop something, or to apprehend someone, it is not her place to ask why or refuse the order - she carries it out (although she may voice her opinion on it).

			Therefore Tradition-abiding kindred find it easy to get along with her. She is refreshingly unduplicitous and treats everyone with politeness and respect (even, if not especially, the kine) and expects the same in return. If she can help and it does not detract or conflict with her duties, she will. If asked something that would compromise even the integrity (or perception of) her duties, then best not to even ask, as asking could raise her suspicion and end up with her investigating and becoming an enemy.

			That said, Cassandra is no robot terminator. She believes in what she is doing, convinced it helps others and makes things better - but has been known to be swayed to a cause if she feels it is the more morally correct. Needless to say, she does not have many friends amongst the Anarch Movement and often holds them in poor regard.

	~~No information~~ in ~~database~~.		In addition to being a Paladin for her clan, which is her primary duty and responsibility, she is also a registered Hound for the new Sheriff. This means that she is an official Camarilla status holder that gives her enforcement powers to apprehend and, at times, even carry out justice and executions when required in clear cases (such as located Sabbat or those marked for [https://whitewolf.fandom.com/wiki/Blood_Hunt_(VTM) Lextalionis]). Likewise, anyone attacking her without just cause would be attacking the Camarilla and Sheriff by extension. In addition, since becoming a Hound and working for the Sheriff's detective agency, she appears to have become favoured by the Sheriff, and is likely to be able to get away with more than her position would allow her to (not that Cassandra would abuse of this, but it does give her a little leeway, which actually makes enforcing her position as Paladin - which may clash with her role as a Hound - a little easier). It has also led to her developing a friendship/alliance with [Mohini Vinchhi (WoD)\|Mohini Vinchhi]], a neonate Assamite of the warrior caste and fellow Hound who, like her, serves as a Hound principally as a way for their respective clan to show they are serious about being Camarilla members and helping enforce the Camarilla's traditions, by sending one of their own to participate in this enforcement. These two together, although both neonates, make a very deadly and powerful combination that should make any would-be aggressors think twice about meddling with them.

	Cassandra's fighting style reflects what she is - a peacekeeping warrior. She has been well trained in melee combat - self-defence classes from her father when she was young, primarily reflecting his RCMP training, and then further training when she joined the RCMP. The emphasis on her training was on overcoming threats and defence, rather than offence. She was also trained to be highly proficient with firearms. It was only after her Embrace, during her 20-year Adoption period that she learnt more aggressive methods, such as classical fencing and swordplay from her sire, who used to be a Crusader during the Dark Ages. During her time with the APD, she had to undergo training regularly with the SWAT teams, leading her to become substantially more proficient with assault tactics. As such, Cassandra is a modern-day knight - her side-handle baton (aka nightstick or Tonfa) and pistol are her typical weapons of choice against most threats, and she is a highly accurate shot and very experienced shooter and melee combatant, both from training and real experience. She generally fights in a defensive manner, however - taking measures to limit her exposure to firearms and threats from a defensible position, then using her firearm for best effect. When the situation calls for it, if on duty, she can call on her support shotgun (or if on SWAT duty, her M-4 carbine) for added effect - but most commonly she will have only her 9mm pistol, although she has a variety of specialized ammunition that can make this weapon quite effective - silver bullets and incendiary rounds are a danger to most threats she would typically come up with, and she is a good shot. When paired with reasonable levels of Celerity (for a neonate, and a non-clan Discipline), this makes her fast and ~~efficient~~.

Even if caught unprepared, the standard ammunition used by the APD (and therefore what Cassandra uses both when on duty and off-duty according to department regulations) are Hollow Point rounds, which increase the stopping power of her 9mm to be comparable to larger-calibre handguns, which can be a surprise to kindred expecting the normal effect of a standard 9mm round. When paired with reasonable levels of Celerity (for a neonate, and a non-clan Discipline), this makes her fast, efficient and potentially extremely deadly in a firefight.

	If engaged in melee she prefers to use her retractable baton. She is highly proficient with these weapons in a variety of martial styles learnt in her various police training, as well as from her sire. Combined with her Celerity and Potence, she is highly effective at defending herself. Some have noted that she does not carry any melee weapons that can quickly drive kindred into torpor or final death, but she would argue that she fights to protect, not to kill - and a baton to the head will crack a kindred skull as damagingly as that of the kine... and the extra effort to subdue a kindred simply enables the greater likelihood of capturing them alive, rather than accidentally killed or put into torpor in the heat of battle. If she really does want to kill a kindred, she can simply use her special ammunition to do so from range or after an opponent is rendered immobile. Cassandra is good at targeted aiming to disarm and incapacitate.		If engaged in melee she prefers to use her retractable baton.
