ABOUT CASSY BOWEN:

Cassy Bowen is a stubborn 16-year-old girl determined to find out the true cause of her mother's death two years ago. Her father is still too depressed about her mother's death to go to work, let alone spend quality time with Cassy, so she spends her time playing video games and DIYing clothes, and less enjoyably, hanging out with a judgemental and shallow friend group in an attempt to distract herself and achieve a normal high school experience. However, this sense of normalcy falls apart when her "friends" inevitably get tired of her façade.

At the end of the 2011–2012 school year, they urge her to play a cruel joke on Cas by asking them out on a "date". When Cassy ends up actually enjoying their day together, composed of wandering around town and discovering the existence of cryptids, her old friends ditch her. This leads to a total loss of reputation but a total gain of the power of friendship. #Winning (mostly)! Although, she still wonders about her mother... like whatever happened to that fluffy gray coat she had, and what was so important that she spent the majority of her days cooped inside writing about?

DESIGN:

APPEARANCE:

Cassy is a slightly chubby, 5’9 Sephardic/Irish teenager. She has broad shoulders and long legs, and her skin is warm-toned and tanned. She has a long face, small ears, and a strong jaw, with a mole on her cheek near her left eye. Her eyes are navy blue, narrow, and slightly hooded. She has thick eyebrows, a large hooked nose, and thin, pigmented pink lips.

HAIR:

Cassy has naturally curly and dark brown hair that she bleaches and straightens. She parts her hair to the side when it’s straightened. As the story goes on her hair changes quite a bit. She stops straightening it at some point and eventually dip-dyes it half blue. Her hair is initially to her mid-back, but she cuts it to her shoulder blades at some point. She usually keeps half of it up in a ponytail, with some framing her face, but she also sometimes puts it in a ponytail, braid, fishtail braid, or leaves it down. She also likes teasing her hair.

VOICE:

She has a combination of a southern US and valley girl accent. Her voice is slightly low, but not much.

STYLE:

Cassy generally wears tank tops, t-shirts, halter tops, denim jackets, flannel, denim shorts (often with tights underneath), basketball shorts, loose jeans, and army boots. She may also wear sunglasses, bracelets, and/or belts. She doesn’t like wearing skinny jeans with short shirts. She almost never wears dresses, and only rarely wears skirts (always with shorts or tights underneath). She often wears makeup, particularly eyeliner, eyeshadow (often glittery), mascara, and light lipstick.

KEY TRAITS: curly hair unless straightened, narrow eyes, large hooked nose, thin lips, strong jaw, mole on cheek near left eye, small ears, broad shoulders, long legs, chubby, tall
