Someone SEDATE MEEEE /j

BATGIRL 02        🞂     SUB - FOLDER:  NOTES      🞂     008.

the topic of cass's temper is an interesting one because she has a tendency of going from completely unbothered to over the rails meltdown out of nowhere. and yeah, sometimes it's because she's the victim of bad writing much like most of our muses here, but it happens enough that i had to sit down and figure out what angers her and why... so here's my rundown on that.

how bad is her temper? 

i'm going to settle on... *seesaw hand* low.

kinda. let me explain. cass is easy to irritate which is the beginining of anger. if you poked her a couple times, she'll swat you and tell you to stop. if you're talking too much, she'll tell you to shut up. those things irritate her quickly. do they anger her? not necessarily. but they BUILD UP to the point of anger and that tends to be triggered by bigger, hard hitting topics like her past, identity, etc.

is it a slow boil or an instant explosion?  

slow boil, 100%.

cass doesn't explode into anger until enough things build up to the point of making her snap. she's not going into a blind rage just because you keep pissig her off but it might be the last straw after a looot of built up anger. she has a tendency to bottle every emotion up to the extremes due to her upbringing.

when cass does express her anger, it often times ends up being totally destructive which is a huge problem that bruce and the others have consistently expressed concern about. we're talking about a young adult with unexplained enhanced strength who was trained to kill from the moment she could walk-- oh, and she has a whole complex about perfectionism in the things that matter to her most. 

she has almost killed people multiple times during these episodes. she's split punching bags clean in half. she's broken holes in concrete walls. she's thrown herself into immense danger to punish herself. (which she does not realize she does) when cass does get angry enough to lash out it's incredibly dangerous and she regrets her reactions almost every time.
