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.


EXTENDED PROFILE
» APPEARANCE: She's a tiny, blonde teenage girl. She's as airy as her appearance with wispy blonde hair and light, flowy dresses. She smiles to hide her pain and is very thin from not eating.
» PERSONALITY: Cassie is a light, airy girl who as Tony described is "thin, she's blonde, and she says 'wow' a lot'. She comes across as a this eccentric girl who is just lost. Which is odd, because on the flip side, Cassie is also the character that seems to understand everyone the most, what makes them tick, what they do, she's also good at knowing secrets and figuring things out.

The girl has a lot of mental problems though. As far as we know, all she's ever been diagnosed with is anorexia, but she also has very low self esteem, telling Sid once that she didn't eat for three days to make herself lovely for him. She also tried to kill herself and was hospitalized at least twice. She's isn't the most stable person and she actively does drugs, once also selling.

Cassie very much has control issues. Her life hasn't often had much of it, and her parents weren't exactly good parents. There was an overly sexual nature in her house, and her parents neglected her baby brother several times in order to engage in their own acts. She's definitely not prude because of this. Sex has become just an activity for her. She came into the series as the girl Sid was supposed to lose her virginity to, and bluntly asks him later, "so you're going to fuck me later?" She's supposedly good at it which is supposed to outweigh her craziness.

Because of her control issues, she needs to let go. This is why she does drugs, stops eating, and often has sex. She tells this to Sid when he asks what to do when the world loses control. Cassie wants someone to care though. She starts to pursue something with Sid because of this. She hallucinated that he was texting her to eat, but most of all, he changed everything when he asked why and how she managed to trick people into not eating. Cassie goes through all the motions of how to get people off her back. He confronts her about the lying and she tells him "it's not like anyone cares". He stops and tells her "I care". That was it. That was when she wanted more.

Unfortunately things never really work out for her. Easily at least. She tries to be everything he wants. She's flighty and often dresses up in antique dresses and updos. She spends her time on park benches, and when she's in hospital, she befriended quite a few people. Cassie ended up dating one of the boys there to get back at Sid as well as the fact that he wanted her. Someone wanted her.

She can't deal with things. If something goes bad, she reacts violently to it. She has to run. She left for Scotland when it hurt too much to deal with Sid, she tried to kill herself when it got too complicated with him, and in the second season, after Chris died in her arms, without telling anyone she took a flight to New York. That's what Cassie does.

She doesn't like secrets, often being open and putting everything out on the line. When her roommate and bestfriend Chris and his girlfriend start hiding things, she's the one that confronts them. Chris is, essentially, dying, and Jal was pregnant. She calls out Michelle for playing with Sid and Tony.

Cassie does care deeply. Too deeply. That's why things tend to end to badly. Things do end, and she can't handle it. Her relationship with Chris is evidence of that. They start out as just acquaintances, but even in the second episode before everything got really bad, she tucks him in. She ends up being his roommate, and after that she even goes so far as cleaning a wound that was under his testicles. This is why his death hits her so hard. He seized up and started bleeding in her arms. And that was it. Her only reaction was that she had to leave.

Things turn to shit, she tells Sid. Even when things were good before Chris died. She knew things would end, even if it was just the end of the semester. She's constantly waiting for the other shoe to drop since she's never had stability. But then part of that is on her with the way she lives, hospitals and ODing and all the sex. It's a catch 22.

She is good at hiding it behind her smile. People do realize she's a little off with how airy she is, but if you didn't know her and didn't know she was hospitalized, she would just seem an eccentric, friendly girl.
» BACKGROUND:
Cassie comes from a decently regular family, though she was more or less neglected for sex. Her parents weren't the most watchful and clearly don't care all that much about her. She winds up at a local college and the day she meets Sid pretty much changes everything. She has anorexia and isn't the most stable emotionally. However she cares deeply and she ends up becoming close friends with a group of people.

Sid likes her from the beginning but his so called love with his best friend's girl friend ends up taking precedence always. Thinking she's not good enough after Sid bails on her date, Cassie tries to kill herself with vodka and pills. She winds up in a hospital again. Sid comes to the conclusion that he wants to be with her, but it's too late. She's with someone else.

After she gets out of the hospital, she winds up going to Scotland, but that doesn't last too long either. She wants to be with Sid and enters a relationship with him, but things get messed up. She comes down the same day he and Michelle, the girl he's been after for years, decide to hook up.

It kills her. Sid and Michelle together just isn't supposed to happen. Homeless, she decides to try helping Chris. They end up in an apartment together and Sid and Michelle's relationship take a toll on her mental stability. She starts selling drugs and doing anything she can to just go balls to the wall.

Eventually Effy tries to help Sid get Cassie back. So she concocts this plan, and you know what? It works. And everything is lovely for awhile, but as the year draws to an end, she knows it's only going to go belly up. Especially when secrets start unraveling. She knows Chris is sick and she knows his girl friend is pregnant and Jal hasn't told Chris yet. Chris ends up hospitalized and Cassie can't take it. She almost fails her philosophy A-level, but has a moment to herself with her teach to just dance. Cassie steals a shirt for Chris and that night, gives it to him. He winds up getting a headache and goes to lay down. A few minutes later, seizuring in her arms, Chris dies.

And so she runs away to New York. She stays with a guy she meets who just wants a friend as badly as she does. Sid comes after her, but it's assumed he never finds her since he passes the cafe she worked at, and they miss seeing each other.
» OTHER: She's very flighty, says 'wow' a lot, and has a lot issues.
