PW! - PROFILE - Cassandra "Cass" Gale

Cassandra ‘Cass’ Gale

Age: 19
Height: 6’3”
Weight: 158 lbs.
Place of Birth: Mossdeep City, Hoenn
Date of Birth: June 24 (Cancer)
Blood Type: A+

Appearance: Cass is a tall, attractive young woman with deep red hair
reaching down to her back and light blue eyes. She normally wears a
green T-shirt, blue jean-shorts, socks, tennis shoes, and various bits
of padding for use in extreme sports. She carries her main gear in a
large backpack, while her Poké Balls, PokéDex, and PokéNav are stored
on her belt. A pair of rollerblades usually hangs from her backpack
when not worn.

Personality: Cass is generally an easygoing person. She is quite
friendly, sociable, and outgoing. Like her younger half-sister,
Alexandria Masters, she has an adventuresome side to her, only she is
far less cautious than Alex. Cass is quite energetic and overeager,
almost like a young child on a sugar rush. She also tends to swoon
over exceedingly attractive men, occasionally causing some minor
embarrassment for her younger half-sister.

History: Cass was born in Mossdeep City in the Hoenn region to Kyle
Gale, a former agent of Team Rocket, and Helen Mass-Gale, then a minor
player in a local construction firm. Shortly before her birth, Cass’s
father was killed by agents of Team Magma. Cass’s mother left Mossdeep
soon afterwards, then married Lyle Masters shortly after Cass’s birth.
Cass’s half-sister, Alex, was born a few months before Cass’s second
birthday.

At the age of ten, Cass left her new home of Lilycove City for the
Johto region with Obsidian, a Larvitar given to her by her stepfather
as her first Pokémon. Over the course of a three-year journey, Cass
traveled across Johto, Kanto, and Hoenn, ultimately collecting the
twenty-four badges from each region and capturing nine Pokémon, three
from each area. She returned to Lilycove City in time for her
thirteenth Christmas, and has since spent her time training her team
for tournaments and contests. She now hopes to aid and possibly
compete against her young half-sister one day, though this dream will
have to wait as her mother’s death has placed her as the new CEO of
MasterCorp.

Hobbies: Cass enjoys rollerblading and watching Japanese Animé. Among
her favorite series is Mobile Fighter G Gundam, mostly due to the
character of George de Sand. While not as widely read as her sister,
Cass does occasionally quote Shakespeare.

Pet Peeves: Cass generally dislikes womanizers and those who believe
themselves above others without proper reason.

Abilities: Cass is skilled at rollerblading, and has an interest in
mechanics, which has led her into building and modifying sports cars.
Unlike her sister, Cass is also an excellent swimmer, and enjoys deep-
sea diving off Lilycove’s shores.

Weapons: Unlike her sister, Cass carries no weapons.

Weaknesses: Cass’s roving eye is her primary weakness.

Current Badges: Cass has long had the eight official badges each from
Kanto, Johto, and Hoenn.

Current Pokémon: Nine

Tyranitar (Nickname: Obsidian): A massive hulk, Obsidian is tough but
gentle, especially around Cass and those close to her. He is
intelligent, social, and immensely loyal, and acts more like a playful
kitten around Cass than a powerful monster. The most experienced of
Cass’s Pokémon, Obsidian has carried Cass through thirteen Gym
Battles, in most cases earning her a Badge single-handed. Obsidian is
the only Pokémon whose language Cass can understand, and more often
than not acts as a translator.
Level: 75
Ability: Sand Stream
Nature: Jolly
Attacks: Strength, Crunch, Rock Tomb, Screech

Golduck (Nickname: Nosedive): Wild and courageous, Nosedive is the
second to leap into action alongside Cass, the first usually being
Obsidian. During battle, Nosedive often makes witty retorts, often
causing the opposing Pokémon to fall off their guard and make careless
mistakes, usually resulting in their defeat. When not in battle,
Golduck often enjoys sitting back and reading comic books, and is
quite fond of anything written by Peter David or Simon Furman.
Level: 71
Ability: Damp
Nature: Quirky
Attacks: Dive, Confusion, Dig, Psych Up

Manectric (Nickname: Jolt): Sharp-minded and direct, Jolt is always
moving at breakneck speeds, save when sleeping. Out of a desire to
protect Cass, Jolt often scouts ahead of her, scanning the area for
possible dangers and any sort of trouble. His devotion to Cass is so
great that he only acts after being told to do so, save when
protecting her from danger or in a life-or-death situation. His
undying loyalty may cause other Pokémon to make jokes on his behalf,
but his speed and power in battle quickly silence their laughter, only
to replace it with the sound of a lightning strike.
Level: 68
Ability: Static
Nature: Serious
Attacks: Flash, Bite, Shock Wave, Secret Power

Wailord (Nickname: Triton): A gentle master of the seas, Triton is
relaxed and in control whenever he takes to the oceans. His language,
while simple, often expresses his thoughts clearly and without much
hassle. Triton dislikes Gyarados, believing that they discredit the
honor of all ocean-dwelling Pokémon. He has similar feelings towards
Sharpedo as well.
Level: 70
Ability: Oblivious
Nature: Serious
Attacks: Waterfall, Rest, Earthquake, Amnesia

Dragonite (Nickname: Hot Shot): A hotheaded flying ace, Hot Shot is
egotistical and stubborn. However, he often has the skill to back up
his claims, flying faster and further than most Pidgeot. Hot Shot’s
pride and vanity cannot allow any other Pokémon to outshine him when
it comes to flight, and he often ends up racing his challengers to
defend his title. Such matches rarely result in wins or losses for Hot
Shot, mostly leaving him desiring a rematch with his competition.
Despite his ego, he is loyal and trusting towards Cass and Alex, and
is quite willing to get them where they need to go, no matter the
distance.
Level: 71
Ability: Inner Focus
Nature: Adamant
Attacks: Fly, Ice Beam, Fire Blast, Safeguard

Claydol (Nickname: Enigma): Calm and unobtrusive, Enigma battles only
when called upon. In its telepathic voice, Enigma always tries its
best to guide Cass along the safest path and give advice. However,
these pearls of wisdom are often quite cryptic, and Cass is rarely
able to fully understand them. Despite this, however, Enigma remains
with Cass in hopes of one day showing her the proper path.
Level: 64
Ability: Levitate
Nature: Calm
Attacks: Rock Smash, Psychic, Earthquake, Rest

Not on Active Team:

Azumarill (Nickname: Ariel): Given to Cass while an egg in Johto,
Ariel is gifted with Sing, and practices her vocal talents often.
Thanks in part to mass exposure, Cass and the rest of her Pokémon are
only reduced to drowsiness upon hearing her song rather than full-
fledged slumber. Aside from singing, Ariel enjoys swimming, and often
joins Cass when she is out in the water.
Level: 70
Ability: Huge Power
Nature: Jolly
Attacks: Surf, Rollout, Rain Dance, Sing

Politoed (Nickname: Scylla): Energetic and lovable, Scylla is in some
ways the closest that Cass will ever come to having the stereotypical
‘cute Pokémon mascot’. Scylla enjoys the company of others, and is
quite playful around anyone, even complete strangers. It is only
thanks to dumb luck that Scylla has avoided trouble thus far. Despite
her naivete, Scylla is a competent fighter and very difficult to
defeat.
Level: 70
Ability: Water Absorb
Nature: Naive
Attacks: Whirlpool, Belly Drum, Mind Reader, Ice Punch

Vileplume (Nickname: Rose): Exceedingly vain, Rose is Cass’s primary
contender in Pokémon Beauty Contests. Aside from her vanity, Rose’s
main traits include compassion and battle skill, both linked to her
vanity in their own ways; the one from not wishing to see harm done to
her beautiful form, the other for seeking vengeance for harm done to
her beautiful form. It is thanks to this second trait that Cass often
leaves Rose to contests than have her in battle. Despite this, Rose
likes both Cass and Alex, and will proudly stand alongside both.
Level: 72
Ability: Chlorophyll
Nature: Adamant
Attacks: Cut, Moonlight, Magical Leaf, Petal Dance

Goals: Cass’s current goals include winning in Pokémon Contests across
Hoenn, aiding and guiding Alex when she can, and perhaps one day
competing alongside her in a Tournament.

Additional Notes: Cass is currently serving as CEO of her mother’s
company, and generally keeping things safe at home for her little
sister.
