Other Features

Cass has a few things that hint at his fae heritage. His pointed ears for one, though some folks mistake him for an elf rather than fae. Secondly, his wings, though the poor things are a pale shadow compared to full-blooded fae things. They are tiny, every wing about the size of a hand, with a design of dull browns and greys of a mundane moth. They sit upon his back rather uselessly, but at least the fellow can hide them easily.

Social Interactions

Personality

Cass is an insecure mess of a young man. He is a clever thief, an escape artist really, but seldom proud of his skills. Frequently, he's left feeling guilty after thievery, as though he should be something more than that. And that, in turn, compels him to make foolish mistakes - such as drinking to make that gnawing feeling go away or gambling in hopes of earning more. That way he could at least fake being successful. He never manages that far of course, inevitably reeling back into poverty only to perpetuate the whole cycle again.

Which doesn't mean he has no good sides. He is a curious young man and rather clever underneath all that self-loathing and poor impulse control. Granted, both can get him in trouble, particularly said cleverness. Cass doesn't completely grasp the dos and don'ts of society, oft making him suffer from foot-in-mouth syndrome. Especially when intoxicated.

Lastly, he is a man who cherishes freedom and adores flying, something he evidently inherited from his fae father. To him, nothing is greater than spreading his shapeshifter wings and enjoying the skies.

History

Cass spent most of his childhood with his shifter mother, living relatively peacefully in a small, rural village. That is, until one day said mother disappeared on him. Before he knew what was happening an angry mob had formed on his doorstep and he was forced to flee with scant few belongings at the age of ten. He never learned what had become of his mother, other than what the villagers were accusing her of – their livestock has been assaulted every night by a wolf, and the blame fell onto her shoulders. Whether that was the truth or not, survival took precedence for Cass.

Ever since his escape the boy took to pickpocketing and was surprisingly good at it. He bounced from place to place, never making a home until he wound up in Verdant Row. It was an unusual sort of place, but the spirits left him to his own devices and the living weren't there long enough to forge connections. Which also meant living a solitary, isolated life. Something that ultimately steered him into shapeshifting.

Granted, it wasn't an easy undertaking. He grasped some basics – lessons his mother imparted on him, scattered through his memory thanks to his lack of attention at the time. His very first shift was thanks to a teacher. Well, if you could consider a very angry-looking thug about to thrash you to death over theft a teacher. Likewise, shifting back took him some time as well, likewise achieved thanks to a hungry alley cat. One rather surprised when the little starling-to-be-lunch suddenly became a humanoid.

To this day his shifting still hiccups and acts unpredictably on occasion, especially when he's inebriated, and the lad can't manage shifting into anything other than that first form – one of a little, charcoal, white-speckled starling.
