Life in the slums went about as you’d expect. Cassandra never thought she’d amount to anything, and for a lot of her life that proved to be true. Her mother never taught her anything of use, oftentimes never being home because she’d have to go out and find work to scrounge up enough credits for a meal. Often times Cassandra would find herself alone at home, needing to fend for herself in order to make sure she had something to eat for the day. Her father? Well, according to her mother, the man was a Mandalorian who she only knew for a few days. All Cassandra knew was that she must have gotten his features, given her mother was a pale woman with fair features.

Eventually when she got old enough she started doing as her mother did, doing whatever she did to earn credits and get by. Any job would do, it didn’t matter as long as it paid. She didn’t truly have much talent at first, and she failed more often than not. In fact, she’d often end up talking big and when she was found out to truly not have what was needed, she would be dropped and have to start all over with another job. In time, Cassandra lost track of just how many jobs she was fired from. Not that she’ll ever admit that, mind you.

Confidence was - and always is - her strong suit. You want something stolen? She could do it, and has done it before. Something killed? Easy. In practice? It was nothing of the sort, and soon word spread around that she was never truly as reliable as she hoped to be. And so then the trouble arrived, and with it, growing debt. It was easy to buy herself out of trouble, but in the end it only invited more trouble. The war provided an opportunity for her, she doing her best to stay out of the thick of things but instead use it as a chance to start to actually train herself in doing what she claimed to do. It provided her the time to meet some faces that she could call friends, and provided her a chance to decide what she’d hope to do in life.

And so Veles would provide a blank slate for Cassandra. A fresh start.
