Cassandra wakes up a little later in the morning than she had expected, making her rush to get ready. Normally, she is the kind of person who is careful to be early. Arriving late meant she was keeping people held up and that just wouldn't do. Plus, it would only delay the inevitable.
Today, she would be going into the Hedge. The thought of it brings back memories of the last time she had been there with Ram, Gerrit and... what was his name again? Ethan. She'd almost forgotten. Was that scarier? Not to mention the creatures they encountered last time with their poison that put her into a long slumber. She'd been out for hours, her mind tormenting her with memories and false accounts of her life. There are nights when she can still hear that echo from her Keeper. You'll always need my help. It makes a shiver run down her spine. Nope. Not today. Today we are gonna kick butt and take names. Actually, how about we encounter nothing? That would be nice for once.
She quickly takes inventory of all of her gear, making sure she isn't leaving anything behind. Once she is satisfied, she picks up her backpack and makes her way over to the meeting point. When she arrives, they can see that she looks different than she normally does. Her hair is up in a ponytail, her hair completely out of her face. She looks prettier somehow, perhaps because she often hides her fairer appearance behind her long hair and by putting more emphasis on her eclectic style of clothing. She is wearing a pair of comfortable, loose jeans, running shoes, and a black, long-sleeved shirt. Her thin Kevlar vest can be seen a bit through the shirt and it is more than likely that she is wearing double layers. It is the winter after all. Not that it actually bothered her.
She approaches the group and indeed, she was the last to arrive, which makes her a little miffed with herself. In her usual airy and gentle, alto voice, she says, "Hey all, sorry I'm a little late." Even though she is nervous about going into the Hedge again, she doesn't let that show in her mien. Her opalescent skin continues to shift in rainbow hues, seemingly random in nature. Honestly, if one looks too long, she can be hard to look at.
