II. APPEARANCE

Height: 5' 2"
Weight: 92 Lbs.
Hair: Short cut, black and red
Eyes: Silver
General Appearance: Cadence is a beautiful young woman without much personal care for her looks nor how other people think of her looks. She only has one change of clothes which she sleeps in, during the day she only wears a scarlet and black battle skirt and a red cape. She's quite thin and much shorter than most girls her age, but she doesn't seem to mind. She has pretty average looks and no one would really think twice to look at her for any reason.
Extra: Cadence sometimes wears a pair of glasses whenever it suits her outfit. She doesn't really need them, but they always make her feel more intelligent.

III. PERSONALITY

Personality: Cadence has almost a childlike innocence about her that makes her a joy to be around. She's very trusting of everyone around her and is willing to put her life in their hands should she need to. She can be naive at times due to her inexperience with the world in general, but her lack of of experience shouldn't be confused with a lack of confidence. Cadence isn't shy at all, in fact she can be quite loud and outspoken much of the time, and when she's not it's because she either has to be quiet for the sake of the mission or she is eating. She can easily drift off into completely pointless sections of a conversation and sometimes she just forgets she was having a conversation altogether and simple floats off into her own little world. But even despite her inattentiveness she still has a lot of focus when she needs it, which normally falls under the categories of combat or chasing skirts. Yes, Cadence is undeniably a sucker when it comes to women, she can't help but focus on being flirtatious whenever she's around a woman. And then there is her past which even trumps her emotional attachment to women. Cadence holds a dark secret about who her family really is, and she could never speak to anyone about it. It is a secret she will take to her grave if she is lucky enough, and if not then she would just have to move on like always and leave behind all that she knows and loves.

Motivations: Cadence is driven solely by her desire to grow stronger and to never be tied down by anyone whom she doesn't respect. It is her dream to find her own path and thus create a better future for those around her whom she calls her friends and family. This is why she is utterly devoted to them no matter what the cost.
Fears:

• Enosiophobia: Cadence fears ever being criticized and held accountable for her family's actions. She dreads the day when someone finds out her secret and she is taken away for it.
  
• Kakorrhaphiophobia: Cadence cannot stand the idea of failing at anything or losing to anyone. She only ever wants to succeed and fears failure with all her heart.
  
• Nosocomephobia: Cadence also has a fear of being in a hospital, because the last time she was in one things didn't go very well for her. The only places she ever seeks medical attention is in small clinics and little family pharmacies, never the larger institutions.

Negative Traits:

• Compulsive Honesty (-2): You cannot tell a lie, nor can you behave in a deceitful fashion. You tend to be blunt rather than tactful, even if it means insulting someone who you and your companions are trying to impress.
  
• Curiosity (-1): You're a naturally curious person and you find mysteries of any sort irresistible. In most circumstances, alas, your curiosity overrides your common sense. This forces you to investigate something unusual, even if it looks like it might be dangerous.
  
• Lecherous (-1): You have a lusty nature and a tendency to pursue the pleasures of the flesh. A woman or a man (however your tastes run) is an almost irresistible temptation to you. You give in to these temptations easily.
  
• Trusting (-2): You don't like to believe that other people are capable of misleading and lying to you. After all, people are basically good, right?
  
• Clumsiness (-1): You have the unfortunate habit of dropping things, knocking things over, or tripping.
  
• Dark Secret (-1) (Crime Family Past): You have some sort of secret that, if revealed, would make you an outcast amongst your society and companions. While this secret is on your mind at all times, it will come up in topics only once in a while, but when it does, watch out!
  
• Inattentive (-1): Your mind has a habit of drifting off at inopportune moments. It flits from one thought to the next so fast that you have trouble getting it to concentrate on the here and now. As such, you are particularly unaware of your surroundings.
  
• Short Attention Span (-1): You have little patience, causing you to have difficulty concentrating on repetitive tasks.
  

IV. MAGIC

Magic: Crescent Rose: Harvester of Red Clouds
Caster or Holder: Holder
Description: By using her own Crescent Rose scythe Cadence is capable of creating and controlling untold masses of rare red clouds. By utilizing these clouds Cadence is capable of molding them into any form she desires whether it be something as simple as orbs of clouds to something as complex as a large armored soldier who will attack her opponent. The magic is very versatile and can be molded to fit Cadence's fighting style no matter how much it changes over the years.
Strengths: This magic is highly versatile, giving Cadence a massive variety of options at her disposal. Clouds themselves are strong against fire magics because of their mist like forms. And because of the physical form Cadence also has the advantage of wielding a powerful weapon whenever magic doesn't fit the bill. The clouds are also very good absorbers of lightning unlike most natural water forms of magic, they can suck up lightning magics almost as well as wood magics can suck up water magics which means the magic is also strong against lightning type magics.
Weaknesses: Despite how malleable clouds really are and how strong they can be made they are still clouds and thus have a natural weakness against wind magics. Also, should Cadence ever be deprived of her scythe or should it ever be destroyed then she is out of luck when it comes to fighting because she would no longer have anything to contain her magical energy. Also, the magic does have a weakness when it comes to magics that affect the atmosphere around the clouds such as certain air magic spells which can cause the clouds to deteriorate faster.

V. HISTORY

History: It is said that you should never trust a family who dresses in red for they have much blood on their hands, and this is more than just a metaphor for Cadence's old family. Cadence Bellerose, or rather Cadence Veramore, was once a part of a powerful family in the far reaches of the eastern world. The family, while not known for normal things such as trade or being a part of the nobility, was still powerful for its ties to both organized crime and one of the largest assassination branches on Earthland. Every back alley and tunnel rat sewer new their name for what they were, while the general public only saw them as a wealthy family with ties to a few businesses. But even on the inside of the family there was still dissent and anger. Cadence, although having been trained for years to fight and become a part of the family trade, did not wish to see the same blood that her family had shed fall onto her hands. She had watched her family kill, either indirectly or directly, dozens of men and women all for the sake of making more money for themselves. It had been this way for years, and why would anyone want to step away from the lap of luxury and the pride of killing innocents for a bit of coin. That was exactly why Cadence could never become one of them.

Cadence knew that sooner or later her family would fall, and despite her pure hatred for them she did know that it was not her place to sentence them to die. And so she escaped with the hope of leaving behind the life of senseless killing for one that would give her more of a meaning than a drop of blood falling on her hands every day. It wasn't a life she had completely wanted to leave of course, she was treated well enough and loved by her family for what they could give her, but she could never truly join them. Leaving her family was clearly the right choice as only two years later she heard news that the entire Veramore family had been slaughtered as an act of justice. Oddly enough Cadence felt glad that they were gone, it meant the world might be able to become a better place. But the loss of a single family, as she knew, would not ensure a better world. She realized she would need to make a better future for herself, by ensuring everyone had the chance at freedom and making sure that the world did indeed become a better place, which meant heading to a place where she could find people of a similar mind. And where better to go than to Blue Pegasus, home of some of the strongest and most well known mages in all Earthland.
