CANON UPDATING REQUEST [in subject line]

Character name & Journalname: Cassie Ainsworth fairyonacid (switching to desexualized)
Original Canon Point: Post s2
New Canon Point: Post Skins Pure
Important events that transpired between the two points:

Not much is actually known about the five year gap. The writers left it vague and Hannah Murray, the actress who plays Cassie, even talks about the ambiguity.

What is known is that she stayed in the United States and dated someone for most of those years (presumably Sid, but it's never confirmed).

She also seems to have cleaned up her act. She throws away some cocaine after she steals it from a creep. She also seems disinterested with the party lifestyle of one of her roommates/ friends.
How these events affected the characters personality and/or memories:

The point of the seventh season of Skins is to show early adulthood, and not the transition of it. The tagline is "time changes everyone". Cassie is inherently the same lost girl trying to find meaning in life, but she has managed to grow up.

Now 24, Cassie is independently living on her own. She even ends up taking her little brother in to help take care of him. While Cassie has always cared for Reuben even as a baby, the point of this episode was to show that Cassie could find something. It wasn't drugs or friends that made her her. It wasn't boys or loving someone, and it wasn't sex.

The episode focuses a lot on Cassie's beauty and how she's never really seen herself as beautiful. She gets into tricky situations because of it, and she's become even more desensitized to sex. It's not that she doesn't have it, because she did sleep with her coworker, but it's not something she wants. She doesn't want to be idolized for that, since in her teenage years she slept with a lot of people and sometimes just for drugs.

She's realized a lot of the negative things, the things she used to escape. She still likes to dance and go to clubs, but it's not her priority. She wants something more out of life. She is really afraid to love again, and with her father's reactions to her and now that her mother's dead, a lot was shaped by how much her parents fucked her up.

Ultimately she is a lot more stable. So much so that she can take care of her six year old brother. She has a budding modeling career and a few more stable people around her now. The ending shows a heroine rather than a victim.

The impact this canon update have on the character's life on Atia:

The sex will impact her hard, being back here. It's something she managed to mostly separate herself from. It will also be an adjustment, being back after five years, but everyone is mostly the same. She'll probably be a little isolated at first.

Cassie's mostly lost the nature to run mostly because she couldn't in London and she can't here. She's still wary about love, but she'll be a lot more independent and less of a hot mess as well. She is able to be more responsible.

STATS
» NAME: Cassie Ainsworth
» FANDOM: Skins
» CANON POINT: Post-s2
» AGE: 18
» GENDER: Female
» ORIENTATION: This is actually pretty tricky. I am going with straight with the idea that sexuality is fluid. She has had sex with females before, but it was during her self proclaimed downward spiral. During this time, she was doing extremes just to do them. Otherwise we only ever see her go after males, particularly Sid. She also jokes around with Tony about what it would be like to go on a date with him. Other than the period of time she was spiraling down, Cassie never shows interest in girls and tells Effy that she had no interest in Sid because she "found pussy", suggesting she was really only doing it to get back at him since he was dating the one girl she really didn't want him to be with.
» COLLAR: A very old looking locket

KINKS
» YES Cassie's pretty open to experimentation. So if there's something you want, just ask. She does tend to be more submissive though.
» MAYBE: See above.
» NO: Bathroom stuff, bloodplay would probably bring up a whole bunch of bad things, things along those lines.
» PAIRING PREFERENCES: Sid/ Cassie is pretty up there, but I'm pretty open. As is Cassie.
