<div class="floatright">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/e/e5/Leanna_decker.jpg)</div><strong>Cassandra Fireblossom</strong>(https://docs.google.com/document/d/1iUgvhXjgTwZPMOVKAZLi93XY8WA7WN8nKVYvimrFTRg/edit)<br/><br/>Cassandra grew up on the streets of Waterdeep, doing petty theft to survive.  When she was 12, Cassandra lifted a jewelry box and hoped she could pawn it for enough to get a roof over her head.  She was caught, but the lord of the watch on that shift was a Paladin of Torm named Avar.  Avar was very concerned about seeing an girl that young spending months in the dungeons.  He feared that it would result in a still redeemable soul--driven to crime purely by Beshaba's spite--would come out a hardened criminal.  He pulled strings with a judge to arange for Cassandra to serve her sentence as a maidservant to a recently settled lady mage of his acquaintance--Annabelle.  Annabelle was firm with the girl, but also kind.  She taught Cassandra to read--saying Cassandra would need this skill for her duties but truly enjoying sharing the art.  Cassandra probed to be a very apt reader.  An extremely apt student.  Within a few years Cassandra was far more an apprentice than a maid.  Not that she's 19, Cassandra has decided to travel the world in search of knowledge, adventure, and opportunities to test herself.  She has never forgotten the act of mercy performed by a true paladin and has sworn to him she will pay it forward.
