PERSONALITY OVERVIEW:
there's no doubt about it that Cassy is a silly girl. she's rarely ever serious, and can always be seen with a goofy smile on her face. she's all about having fun, whether that means getting a little tipsy on firewhiskey or even just sliding on the stairway banisters down to the gryffindor common room. she likes to laugh and so she'll make a joke out of almost everything, because laughter, to her, is like magic! perhaps that's why most people enjoy being around her. she's outgoing and energetic, but not to the point of being obnoxious most of the time (or at least she hopes so).
taking into consideration her love for fun, it shouldn't be a surprise that Cassy loves to party. she doesn't let it affect her studies too much, though sometimes she will end up having to have a cram study-session because she opted to have a little fun the night before when she should have been reading. she does take a little responsibility in not taking too much firewhiskey to make her hazy though. she's not completely irresponsible despite popular belief, so she knows she doesn't want to wake up the morning after a party not knowing what she could have possibly done.
adventurous, is another word that perfectly describes this girl. she has an overwhelming sense of curiosty so she is constantly on the move looking for the next new thing. these new little adventures involve breaking a rule or two but she hardly has a problem with that. in fact, cassy is rather fond of breaking rules so none of her professors are really surprised when she breaks another rule or causes a little more trouble in the castle (or even outside of the castle too). her curiosity also inspires her to be quite nosy. she likes to know things even if they have nothing to do with her. cassy isn't actually a gossip, she doesn't share the things she learns about, she just simply likes to know everything that she can (everything, being anything she deems interesting enough to take up space in her brain).

SOCIO-ECONOMIC STATUS: middle-class
HISTORY OVERVIEW:
cassandra collette matthews was born on august 18th to benjamin and candice matthews, a happily married wizarding couple. they already had one child, andrew, who was around one year old at the time. life was easy and pleasant for cassy as a child. her parents each took time taking care of her and andrew, and they all spent a considerable amount of family time together. they appeared to be a very tight-knit family, and they truly were.
though, as time progressed, cassy's trouble-making habits grew. andrew, being her big brother, was usually the bad influence on her. they caused a lot of mischief together, and they always had fun with it. even their father would contribute to their fun. only their mother candice didn't approve. she was a very strict woman so the relationship between her and her two children was pretty sore. she gave them quite a few lectures and often scolded them disapprovingly, but their father normally interrupted and changed the topic to something a little more cheerful.
when cassy was seven, her mother gave birth to another little boy, casey. and within that next year, was a little girl, christina. andrew and cassy were quite content with having little siblings, in fact, they enjoyed playing with them almost as much as they liked playing with kids their own age. as they grew up, they still tried to be involved with their siblings, because it just seemed that they had that strong family bond in them. their mother was worried they would be a bad influence on the younger kids, cassy especially (because even though andrew had been her bad influence, she surpassed him in trouble-making after a few years). the only time she really let up was on their family trips, one which they took to Italy (mentioned for her happiest memory).
when cassy reached the age of eleven, she received her letter from Hogwarts. upon arrival, she was sorted into the gryffindor house which was a shock to her family who so far had all been in the hufflepuff house (and they had kind of been expecting the same thing for her). cassy embraced the change though, and she grew to love her house. who wouldn't? during her second year she even tried out for quidditch because she enjoyed flying so much. that only ended in tragedy for her though. during the try-outs a bludger hit her in the back of the head, and knocked her right off her broom. for a couple days afterwards everything was fuzzy to her, and it seemed unlikely that she would be able to see properly again, but through some miracle (or you know, magic, haha), she was able to regain her sight after a full week (in which she panicked the entire time). following that, she gave up on flying and quidditch altogether and while she now plays it cool and pretends she is still okay with flying, she actually has a very prominent fear of it.
she is now in her seventh year at hogwarts and is quite excited to graduate even though it means leaving her wonderful house and school behind.
