Occupation/Grade: Art History Teacher

DON'T STARE AT ME

Sandy is a fairly short woman standing at 5’2” and she has a bit of a curvy physique, meaning that she is not model thin. She is proud to have a slightly curvy figure because she hates the pressure from Hollywood that women have to be a size zero to two to be beautiful. Her features are dark in contrast to her naturally peach complexion. She has long, straight brown hair and dark chocolate brown eyes. Her eyes in some light appears like they have no pupil at all because of how dark brown they are and it’s one of the things she dislikes about her looks.

She has several tattoos on her body and some in places that can’t be covered except in the winter time when she wears long sleeves. Sandy has some muscle definition to her arms and legs that reflects she is an active person. On her upper left eye brow is little scar that she got when she was really young and has never felt the need to try and hide it.

Sandy proudly wears darker colors, leather jackets, and usually wears her hair straight down. She wears some eye make-up but that is about the extent of make-up she wears unless it is a very special occasion. The reason most schools won’t hire her is because she doesn’t want to cover her tattoos.

I WON'T SHUT UP, I KNOW THAT I SHOULD

A very straight-forward kind of woman she is not mean or brutal about things but she is always honest and is a strong believer in being who you are without ever hiding anything. Cassandra is a realist when it comes to views on society and so sometimes can seem like a pessimist because of comments she will make in conversations. She isn’t an overly serious person and loves to try and loosen people up that are around her. This is one of the many reasons it is hard to make her angry. She is laid back and thinks that things should hold some excitement or there isn’t a purpose to it.

Sandy does like to have political debates and strives to push people to try and understand views that differ from their own. She doesn’t want to change their minds but does want to try and help people see from both sides of the spectrum. She tries to be an open-book to everyone she meets and so approaches many situations she comes to in life that way. But when it comes to going beyond being friends with people; she hates having intimate conversations with others. This may be why she only dates a guy for a few months before ending the relationship.

She is not as feminine as other women. She likes to wear darker colors over blues and pinks, enjoys pushing the stereotypes that are set in people’s minds, and because of that is a bit stubborn. She isn't stubborn in all areas of life, but when it comes to defending her choices in life she will never say that there is anything wrong with herself or those she learns to care for. When in social situations outside of work Sandy can usually be found doing typical activities that are viewed as “male” past times such as riding her motorcycle, shooting pool, and playing poker. Sandy is a hard core motorcycle girl so can sometimes become so obsessive about tuning up her bike and riding that she forgets she has a life outside of that.

LIVING IN THE PAST

History:
Cassandra grew up in Chicago, Illinois being moved from foster home to foster home until the age of eight when she was adopted by her Aunt Lillian. Lillian was her mother’s older half-sister and did not even know that she existed until she ran in to Sandy’s biological mother at a family reunion. This could be the cause of her fears of intimacy. She learned after her adoption that her father had left her mother a year later but her mom had no desire to go and find the daughter she left behind.

Her mother was sixteen when she gave birth to Cassandra and it was with a man who was in his early thirties at the time. Instead of leaving the man, her mother took her to a hospital and left her there. She was named Cassandra Lynn and given no last name until Lillian adopted her. Growing up in foster homes she learned how bad reality really is. There is no such thing as happily ever after in her mind. From the time she was five she came up with the theory for every child that had loving parents, there were three who was moved from home to home with no love at all.

From the time she was ten because of her sense of style and choices in attitude teachers she had in school labeled her as a problem child. They doubted her intelligence and antagonized her from middle school on ward. Lillian was furious but could not afford to send Sandy to a private school and they weren’t religious so that ruled out Catholic School. That mixed with her past in foster homes was when Cassandra decided in high school to pursue a teaching career. Cassandra did have the experience of having a sibling once she was adopted Lillian had a baby two years after. She is very over protective of her younger “sister”.
In college she majored in Art History, with a minor in Illustration. She then pursued a Master’s in Education. She made a promise to herself that she would show children of all types and backgrounds that not everyone was the same. She graduated in 1985 and moved to New York to find a teaching job. If she taught in their public schools, her federal loans would be forgiven.
While teaching art history and painting at the high school level she ran in to some trouble with a fellow faculty member and decided to leave after her contract with the Board of Education was up. A fellow faculty member harassed Sandy for her choice of dress, and then when she refused him a date, her motorcycle was scratched to hell. There was no proof but she had her suspicions so she decided to leave and seek work in New Jersey. That is what brought her to Red Sky Academy. She sees it as the perfect type of school to fulfill the promise she made to herself back in high school.

RP Sample:
“Damn you.” The words echoed in to the silence as a young woman turned from a taller man with dark brown hair to his shoulders and eyes that matched. He stood there and watched her walk away at a quick pace. In his hand a tiny box sat in his palm, the sunlight reflecting off of a small diamond on a simple circlet of silver.

The way his facial expression looked, it reflected that the woman’s reaction was not what he had expected it to be. He had expected a possible no, but not an argument or for her to speak those two words to him. Jerry Saeder closed the box and then placed it back in to his pocket before slowly slinking back to his own car to leave. He had nothing left in California now that she had turned him down.

Jerry started the car before punching the dash board with anger. He felt the anger and pain start to boil in his blood. She had turned him down.
“What woman doesn’t want to be proposed to?” He questioned to himself releasing his own tension.
