#cassiopeia.

ㅤㅤit's a rare outing to herself, momentarily free of the suffocating, watchful eye of her family. she breathes deeply of the fresh air, only able to find peace in these moments of solitude. she'll likely face some sort of wrath upon returning home, but that's a price she's willing to pay. she turns to continue her walk, but before she can decide where to go next, her gaze collides with another. it's a familiar blue, framed by dark locks. the sight sends a zing of recognition through her, and she feels herself drawn to her, as if being reeled toward her with an invisible line. her feet are moving before she realizes it, placing her directly before the other, little smile lifting the corners of her lips. ❛ are you out enjoying a walk, too? ❜ she asks, voice soft and polite as always.

Meet BEATRICE SMITH. They are TWO HUNDRED AND THIRTY TWO years old and hail from LANCASHIRE, UK. Beatrice embodies the constellation, CASSIOPEIA. They use she/her pronouns. Their faceclaim is JENNA COLEMAN.

Cassiopeia reminds me of red lipstick on a pressed white collar, decadent desserts, secret admirers, three mirrored vanities, the satisfaction of knowing you’re right, soaking in a tub until your fingers prune, short skirts and high heels, all the world’s a stage, champagne chutes, a box full of old love letters.

BIOGRAPHY

[Trigger for suggestion of some dub con]

Bea only has vague memories of her childhood – stories she’d written ages ago when she realized how finite memory can be when you live as long as she has – but it’s her understanding that it was pretty happy, one. though that’s assuming she hasn’t lied to herself so she’s able to look back on her youth fondly. Lying to herself has become an unfortunate habit she’s acquired over the years, built of self-preservation. but there are a few things about herself she knows for certain – her father was an actor, she was named for his favourite play, she has had to work very hard for everything she has, and the day her mark appeared.  

Bea’s always been known for her beauty, which is why it came as no surprise to anyone who knew her that cassiopeia would choose to sponsor her. even before her powers came in, bea was turning down proposals and capturing the attention of young eligible bachelors, and though bea could never settle on a prospect for long she sure did love every bit of the attention.

As life dragged on, and those she loved aged and died around her, being adored would become something of an addiction for bea. one her to which her magic would lend well. the ability to manipulate someone’s wants and desires – like a human love potion, she could compel others to act on emotions and desires they might have otherwise suppressed. she justified this by telling herself she was freeing them of their societal or moral chains. magic is only so powerful, she could never force someone to do something they didn’t want on some level, right? so she was doing them a kindness. but, as her list of ex-lovers and those she’d left broken-hearted grew she was left with a gnawing feeling of if her logic was really all that sound.

It isn’t until the late 20th century when she is forced to deal with the consequences of her actions head-on when she runs into an ex – now old, miserable, alone and blaming her for his misfortunes. you see, while she thought she was freeing him from a loveless marriage what she’d really done was destroy his life. after the confrontation, she doesn’t know how to sit with that knowledge and is left to wonder how many lovers she looks back on fondly she’s destroyed.

After years of spiralling in her guilt and shame, trying to fill the void inside herself with lovers and being left to wonder if any of it was real (and if she’d even deserve it if it were), she sought guidance from the ursas. they agreed to dampen her powers if she agreed to attend polaris to learn how to control her magic. and bea agreed because it felt like a fresh start.

over her life bea has had many professions including but not limited to – royal dresser, nanny, war nurse, and an actor.

INCLINATION

Cassiopeia is gifted with immense beauty and charm. her ability to manipulate or persuade others to act out their innermost desires and fantasies is a double-edged sword and can leave the cassiopeia feeling alone and isolated if she is driven by her ego and vanity. the cassiopeia is also skilled in glamour magic and can be empathetic if she doesn’t let her hubris get in the way.

CONNECTIONS

Filling the role of Julian Moore’s war days past

Got A Long Lisr of Ex Lovers: that it. that’s the connection. i’m pretty open, my only requirement is that they were together before she came to polaris. they can feel whatever type of way about her, she will likely avoid them at all costs because she is a coward.

Best Friend: this person is a good bean, and bea would 100% die for this person but they wouldn’t ask her too. idk it’s a cute friendship, she pokes them out of their comfort zone, they make her a better person, we stan.

Flirtationship: listen, bea is trying very hard to be a good person right now but she is still human and studying can be so very dull. it’s just friendly flirtation, something silly and fun to pass the time, but it’s a lovely distraction she looks forward to every day.
