It is a name that has been known throughout the Sepalum Peninsula as a family farm that has always produced quality crops. But even the Acker ranch couldn’t withstand the downfall caused by the war between the Destruction God and Harvest Goddess all those years ago. Like most farms during that period of drought and chaos, their crops withered and failed to grow. Still, they had hope in their goddess and believed that they would once again produce a bountiful harvest. Ten years later, they were rewarded for their faith and Aker farms prospered once again. Cassandra’s father, Thomas Acker, eventually inherited the farm and continued to uphold the morals his ancestors had while giving thanks for his fields each day. Thomas married Anna – a childhood friend – and happily started their family with the birth of their first daughter, Cassandra. Three years later, their second daughter was born unto the rancher family. They were raised in a close-knit “southern” home, never short of love and care from her parents who taught her right from wrong and of course – how to be a farmer. Pretty much as soon as Cassie was able to walk her dad would take her out to the fields while he worked, or she would help her mama feed the chickens and take care of the other animals. Eventually she grew old enough to start helping with the family farm and taking on responsibilities of her own and has been working on their ranch ever since. As much as she loves her family and her home on the ranch, Cassie has always yearned for something more. Working on the farm is fine – it come naturally to her – but she’s always been a bit of a dreamer. Deep down in her heart, she has always known her purpose was not to stay in Sepalum and be a rancher for the rest of her life. But with the Destruction God’s return, their land was falling barren and the Akers struggled to keep a steady income. The last thing Cassie wanted to do was burden her parents with her ambitious idea of leaving home while they stayed behind to work their fingers to the bone trying to keep some stability. It wasn’t until her senior year in high school that she finally told her parents that she didn’t intend to stay on the Acker ranch forever. She wanted to pursue something different; she wanted to travel, and go to college, and just live life! As any parent would be, they were skeptical about her decision, yet they weren’t at all surprised to hear this coming from their adventurous daughter. When she was ready, they would love and support her no matter what she decided for herself. But with her family’s lack of income and the harsh circumstances the destruction god has brought to the peninsula, Cassie decided to remain on the ranch for a little while longer. While still helping out on her family’s ranch, she got a part-time job delivering mail throughout Sepalum and occasionally running miscellaneous errands for the townspeople.

extra

- Cassie's papa got her Turk (her own horse) for her 10th birthday. Little did he know the freedom it would give her to explore the rest of the peninsula - usually without even telling anyone where she was off to.

- Aside from Turk, her family owns 2 other horses, 4 cows, 2 sheep, a small chicken coop full of chickens and a rooster, and a border collie named Babe. Yes, after the movie about the pig.

- After graduating in the spring, Cassie decided to get a job delivering mail. She was going to need money to leave home someday, and she couldn't ask her parents to pay her for doing what she's always done around the ranch. Plus, she loves her job! Riding Turk all over town every day, getting to talk to lots of people - it's perfect for her while she's still living in Sepalum.

- Her younger sister is one of the most important people to her. They don't usually fight like most sibling, and Cassie is able to tell her everything.

Cassie seems super cute! I just want to pinch her cheeks. Besides that, I really like her face claim! Outside of that, I was a little confused on why she had a secondary job but that's alright. I can't wait to see her in action! Feel free to go ahead and post and plot. Happy roleplaying!
