Username;hyperthymesia.
I am a pretty much boring, agender teen living in the UK and I seem to have fallen for this gorgeous creature.
☆☆☆
Name & Why;Cassiopeia Andromeda, is what I decided to call this gorgeous kiddo/lass. Why, you may ask?
Cassiopeia is the name of a mythological mother who became a stellar constellation. I felt that this applied to this Leafie because s/he reminds me that of a galaxy filled with mysterious stars that echo their beauty in vivid shades of blues, purples, reds.
Andromeda is actually the mythological daughter of Cassiopeia - she became a star too, and I see this Leafie as a beautiful star, standing out from the rest. It really sits at home with me, this name I chose.

Personality, Tendencies & HobbiesCass is a kind, and brave little soul. S/he is always gentle with young ones, and is often willing to help out with any problems others face. Along with her/his kindness, Cass is generous, and is quite empathetic - so you can imagine the pain s/he experiences when someone's in pain or heartbroken.
The courage Cass posseses is something s/he learned as a child - to not let others beat you down, and to stand up for what you believe in, to be respected. This trait is more associated with the courage to do what's right, not something 'brave' such as facing a shark face-to-face whilst poking it.
Furthermore, Cass is quite altruistic, linking to his/her empathetic feelings to others. S/he always places others above him/herself, willing to sacrifice his/her time for others in need. S/he can also think very rationally in pressuring situations, which allows for her/him to keep a cool head and a relaxed attitude.
Contradictory to this - depending on how Cass is being treated - s/he can act quite arrogant and rude if not treated with respect, or treated equally - many other creatures find it weird that Cass is of two genders, and often disrespect her/him, causing the anger to flare. S/he is also found to be a little forgetful, which increases with stress and anger.
Cass also has trust issues, resulting in a small amount of others that s/he trusts completely and utterly, though this is a minor flaw that s/he heralds.
Lastly, Cass is reserved around strangers, and it will take a while for her/him to open up to someone new, however, recently s/he has been trying harder to not be so silent and gloomy around new people and is trying to be more friendly as s/he is with creatures that Cass knows.

Other Quirks & Info;¬Is bigender; always feels as if s/he is male and female. Is unsure about proper pronouns as of now, so just asks for her/him to be referred to as both rather than just the one.
¬When bored, Cass can absentmindedly take things apart, without realising. Say you have an old clock you place in front of her/him - give it 10 or so minutes, and the bored Leafie would've unscrewed every single component without even realising.
¬Hates falling in love/having crushes - s/he thinks it's a waste of time, and also doesn't appreciate being shipped with others, or being teased for a crush s/he doesn't have. This most probably stems from a trust issue s/he has ever since her/his first crush stomped on her/his heart after leading Cass to believe that they loved her/him too.
¬Cass strongly believes in merkind - s/he will spend countless evenings sat on the beach watching for a glimmer of a tail-fin or something of that sort, always excited and yearning to see such a graceful creature.
¬Has a great interest in mythology and mythological beasts - probably stemming from her/his name. S/he has a real hobby of pointing out the different constellations and referencing them to mythological tales and characters. Another hobby s/he has is stargazing in her/his spare time and identifying all of the planets and stars.
¬When angry, her/his eyes flash yellow momentarily each time her/his anger reaches its peak.
¬Cass is also interested in geology, and has a slight obsession with different types of rocks and pebbles.
¬Has a rather beautiful singing voice - much like a siren's - and will often sing whenever s/he thinks nobody else is about. Her/his favourite song to sing is 'Anything Could Happen' by Ellie Goulding, or s/he makes up her/his own songs, which are forgotten in the wind blowing through his/her mane.
