Appearance
Cassius or Cassie as he is known to his friends is rather short for his breed. Standing just above five-foot six, he’s considered the runt of his siblings. Despite his short stature and comparatively slight form in comparison to most lions, Cassie is none the less both healthy and physically fit. His slender form is muscular and curvaceous, most notably he is known for having incredible hips. He’s is almost always mistaken as female by those who do not know him. His full lips and alluring face are mostly to blame for this. His fur pattern is similar to other lions, though his face is one solid color, a maize yellow, this color follows his neck, down his chest and front of his torso, ending in his inner thighs. His fingers and toes are also this color, with the rest of his body being a rich sepia brown, from his shoulders and back around covering his legs and arms. Although the color darkens from his forearm to his hands and from his knees to his feet.

 

Like the entire Assyrius Pride his hair is two colored, half blonde and half burgundy. His hair is extremely long, tied in a braid in the back that flows down his back, alternating the colors from the two tones in his hair. He does not have a maine like other male lions, he instead has two meticulously kept side braids that frame his feminine face. His eyes are almond and almost always seductive looking, they look to almost glow marigold when he turns his gaze to others. His eyes are framed by orange fur that resembles eye shadow to the untrained eye. Cassius is viewed as one of the most gorgeous individuals in Lioncourt by those who adore the female form, though many females in the kingdom resent his massive popularity with the males in the court and knighthood.

 

Personality
A confident and self motivated individual. Sir Cassius or Cassie as he is known to his friends, is well liked for his personable demeanor and positive attitude. Sir Cassie seems to have the ability to befriend anyone, a chameleon in his attitude, able to adapt to his surroundings and relate to just about anyone on a personal level. Well aware of his physical gifts and how they are perceived by others, he is usually flirtatious with men as a rule. Those who are receptive to his advances are easier to manipulate, those who are uncomfortable are easy to unbalance. With women he manages to either stay charming and personable, often times acting like just one of the girls to his friends; or as a flirtatious ladykiller, always impressively attracting them. He enjoys the attention.

Despite his reputation as a paramour, he himself is actually quite vulnerable to the charms of others. Cassie is enamored with strong warriors both male and female and is giddy from their attention. With that said Cassius is of the Assyrius Pride and shares a few of their distinguishing personality traits. He is fiercely competitive and prideful, unable to accept losing with any manner of grace. A fact that isn’t often seen as he very rarely loses. As his family's motto is ‘Victory begets all else in life,’. Cassie can also be rather bratty when he doesn’t have his way, often times being pouty and difficult when he’s forced to do things he doesn’t agree with. He takes his duty seriously and excels at the things he attempts, but is less likely to do things he isn’t confident that he will win at. Despite these shortcomings he is none the less scene as a respectable and trustworthy knight, well liked by the court and the knighthood. Like all of his bloodline he is an Elioudan, being the descendent of one of the ‘God King’ Leodin’s siblings, Kimbra.
