Cass

Hobbies and interests: solitary walks; listening to music on headphones; drawing in school notebooks; collecting small metal keychains; competitive games; night walks when there are few people around. He also enjoys grooming his antlers and fur, although he categorically denies devoting much time to this.
Special Items: He wears an old braided bracelet on his wrist, given to him by one of his three true friends. He never takes it off. If anyone tries to make fun of this bracelet, Cass will take it far more painfully than a simple insult.
Self-image: On the outside, "I'm the best." On the inside, "If I'm not good enough, they'll leave me again." He constantly tries to convince himself that he doesn't need anyone and can cope perfectly well alone. This is why it's so difficult for him to acknowledge his attachment to people.
Humor and Irony: Sarcastic and quite caustic. He loves to tease others, but is completely unable to take jokes calmly. He also has a sense of self-irony, which he only displays around those he truly trusts.
Stress Response: The initial reaction is aggression. He begins to speak more harshly, becomes irritable, picks on trivial matters, and tries to find someone to blame. If the pressure continues to mount, he may lose his temper and get into a conflict. However, after the outburst, he usually ends up alone and replaying the situation in his head for a long time, especially if he realizes he's made a fool of himself. The worst thing for Cass isn't losing a fight, but feeling like he's lost control and someone has noticed.

Goals and dreams: On the surface, Cass only wants one thing: to become someone who can't be humiliated or made to fear others. But his true dream is much simpler: to one day find himself in a place where he doesn't have to constantly prove his worth. He wants to finish high school, get into a good university, and finally decide for himself where to live.
Past: Due to his parents' work, the family moved constantly. During his school years, Cass changed schools numerous times. At each new school, the same thing happened: at first, he was wary, then someone tried to befriend him or make fun of him, and then a conflict would ensue. Gradually, he developed a reputation as a problem student. Throughout his time there, he made only three real friends at school. With them, he was a completely different person: he could laugh freely, allow himself to fool around, and even sometimes admit his own mistakes. But each new move forced him to start from scratch again.
Family and environment: His parents love him, but due to their constant work, they rarely notice how difficult it is for him to adjust to yet another new school. They consider Cass quite independent and often don't realize that his constant "I don't care" attitude masks severe anxiety.
Occupation: High school student. Works part-time when he wants to earn money, but doesn't have a permanent job.
Attitude toward strangers: Distrustful and challenging. Almost immediately, he tests a person's mettle. He may deliberately say something provocative to gauge their reaction. If the person doesn't give in to the provocation, Cass initially becomes irritated, but then begins to respect them.
Relationship with loved ones: Completely different. He still grumbles and snaps at loved ones, but he's become much softer. He might silently fetch something needed, walk someone home, or stand up for someone, and then pretend nothing out of the ordinary happened. He finds it difficult to apologize verbally, so he often corrects his mistakes with actions.

Personality: Stubborn, hot-tempered, cocky, proud, and extremely self-centered. Cass almost automatically perceives any remark as a challenge. He can even mistake a harmless joke for an attempt to humiliate him. He enjoys provoking people, especially if he notices they are afraid of him. He enjoys the feeling that others are wary in his presence. However, his aggressiveness is largely a defensive reaction. Inside, he is much less confident than he pretends to be.
Temperament: Choleric. Flares up in seconds. Can sit calmly, and a minute later be arguing with someone over a completely insignificant matter. Cools down relatively quickly, too, although admitting you're wrong afterward is practically impossible.
Values ​​and beliefs: respect must be earned; you can't allow others to humiliate you; it's best not to show weakness; promises must be kept; you can't abandon your own; if you back down once, people will take advantage of you over and over again. Paradoxically, Kass himself is gradually beginning to understand that his idea of ​​"power" is far from always accurate.
Fears and weaknesses: His main fear is appearing weak and helpless in the eyes of others. He is almost panicky afraid of a situation in which someone sees him confused, frightened, or unable to fight back. He also has a hard time coping with: public humiliation; ridicule of his appearance; being ignored; a patronizing tone; losing; feeling easily replaceable; having to ask for help. Because of this, he sometimes creates conflict where it could have been avoided.
Strengths: incredible determination; courage; good physical endurance; ability to quickly navigate conflict situations; loyalty to those whom he truly considers friends; independence; developed sense of self-worth; ability to protect others, even if he does so rather rudely.

Name: Cass. Doesn't like diminutive forms of names.
Age: 18 years old. A senior in high school.
Height: 178 cm.
Weight: About 68 kg.
Gender: Male.
Appearance: Cass is a man with goat-like features. He has large, elongated goat ears covered in soft fur and large, curved horns of a dark purple hue. His hair is thick and dark, with a wine-purple tint that veers to a light pinkish hue in places. Several strands constantly fall over his face. His skin is very fair, almost porcelain. His eyes are pinkish-red, with unusual horizontal pupils reminiscent of a goat's. His facial features are neat and soft, making him appear calm and even harmless at first glance. In reality, his expression is most often mocking or irritated. When angry, his ears are pressed back, and his gaze becomes especially heavy. Light goat-like hair is visible on his neck and shoulders. The hair on the back of his head and the sides of his neck is slightly thicker, forming a distinctive fluffy mane.
Clothing style: Prefers dark school uniforms, loose shirts, vests, long coats, and voluminous jackets. He prefers a slightly casual look: open collar, rolled-up sleeves, and a loosely tied tie. Outside of school, he wears predominantly dark and muted colors. His clothes are practical but quite expensive—his parents can afford them.
Manner: He walks with confidence, a little defiantly. He often keeps his hands in his pockets and squints slightly, as if anticipating something stupid from those around him. He doesn't like to give way. If someone accidentally brushes against him, Cass will almost certainly turn around and ask, "Is there a problem?" Even when he's not in any danger, he tries to appear as if he's in complete control of the situation.
Voice and Speech: His voice is low, but not harsh. In everyday life, he speaks in short sentences and rather lazily. When irritated, he begins to speak faster and more abruptly. He often makes sarcastic remarks. He especially hates it when people talk to him condescendingly.
