All her life, Cassandra Finnigan had been seeking approval. All her life, she'd wondered who she was seeking it from. From her parents? Who wanted perfection like Oliver, something she'd tried to hard to copy. Or was it from Oliver himself, with his disappointed scowl that made her wish she was bigger, better, somehow better. Or was it Nick and Nate? True she made no secret for her desperation of Nate's approval, but Nick's too? It never made sense to her. Shaking her head slightly, Cassie ran her still chalky fingers through her hair, pulling a face at the dampness the sweat had left on her scalp and through the lighter shades of her hair. Close to the roots, a darker, more vibrant green could be seen, slowly regrowing while Cassie cursed her attempts to leave herself and everything else behind. Even as she thought that; however, she moved with confidence through the area she'd chosen for practicing further. It was one thing to use the ring for the circus act practice, quite another to use it for her own means. A slight smirk twitched her lips as she wondered what she must look like to anyone who crossed her path. Wearing nothing but tights and a leotard that had more colour and glitter on it than any coordinator's costume, enclosing her arms right down to the point of her hands-- which were still chalk covered. Since joining the circus, she'd been called all manner of things. None had stung quite as much as Oliver calling her a freak though. Rebelliously - and only because he couldn't see her right now - her frown grew as she stretched her limbs out in a routine that was as familliar to her as her own hand. Circus freak. What did he know about being sixteen with nothing? Running from a fire that had claimed at least her parents. Nothing had made sense in that mad rush, but it was fine. She'd just show him. Gymnastics had always been her dream and while the circus was fun - as was being one of the star acrobats and the star highrope walker - gymnastics, the Olympics, was her goal. It had been since she was a child. Ignoring the pain in her side from the bite (that a crazy freak with a snake had given her), Cassie began to move through her routine. Simple things first, like handstands and flips... Gradually getting more and more diffficult. The frustration was the end, when everything failed for some reason or another. But she was nearly at the end, and no mishaps yet.. That was when it happened. A flash of red floated past her vision, and instantly Cassandra could have sword she heard the crackle of fire. Panic invaded and she lost the zone she'd put herself in, stumbling hard on the landing. "Arceus, damn it! Stupid son of a dog-lord! She hissed, kicking at the dirt viciously and spitting the leaf -- Trick, her Shinx's, new favourit toy to play with. Since the fire... Perhaps before that, she didn't know. But the fire at least... it broke her cocentration. Once again she stumbled, and the cuss words that emerged wer both creative and vulgar as she dropped to a crouch, her arms curling around her injured stomach. "Watch me, Nate! Watch me!" How long ago those days seemed... They seemed like they'd happened tio someine else, but Cassie knew better. Well... in her mind she knew better.. Her heart had other plans. Getting to her feet again, Cassandra glared at the patch of ground she'd fail on, smirking determidly. "Re match, Ground? I'm usually much harder to trip." And so, breathing heavily and forgetting about her wound. "Much harder. I'm going to get this. I'm going to make it to the olympics one day.." Her fist clenched, golden eyes narrowed as she flipped again. "Just watch everyone, I'll make you proud."
