Background (to be modified):

Cassidy Anne Quinn was born into one of those ‘weird’ families, the ones who are avoided by the neighbors. The ones who are whispered about behind cupped hands. The kind who are never really welcomes in the local churches.

She came originally from a family descended of Irish Travelers in a poor, rural town in central California. The unlucky family members worked at picking the fruit orchards alongside Mexican immigrants, or fixing cars, or other kinds of tinkering. The lucky ones got into the family game of using their special powers to con, persuade, or cheat others out of money.

Cassie was luckier still — she was exceptionally smart, and did well in school. As a result, her parents let her stay in school rather than pulling her out to take on the family trade, and she won scholarships and awards over the years, knowing it was her only chance out of East Dirt Patch, California. Her relationship with her family was good sometimes, not so good at others, and she knew they saw her brains as a ticket out of poverty.

She didn’t intend to be someone else’s ladder. She took her full scholarship to USC with a cheerful thank-you, made promises about coming home when she made her fortune, and then moved to LA.

It was a culture shock, to say the least, and during her time in college, she spent a lot of time using her abilities to predict what was coming next, and trying not to look or sound like a hick. Her accent went first; she trained herself to talk like the local girls. She scammed her way into having spending money from the local casinos — just enough to keep her going, never enough to get her kicked out — and began to dress like a local as well, blending as best she could. Most importantly, she learned about Astrology from a fellow student who was enamored of the practice.

During summers, she found a series of jobs that would let her stay locally, often couch-surfing with friends for some minor sum. Her new passion in the planets, she used for extra cash as well, doing charts for people and interpreting them. She was still learning how, but a bit of clever patter and some peeking into the future of that person’s life could give her plenty to work with in terms of predictions.

She kept in touch with her family infrequently, and sent them back fat envelopes with cash in them to keep things on a good footing. She kept pursuing her degree in Business, thinking that would serve as a good all-purpose way to make money moving forward, but she never expected her hobby to take off like it did. People are desperate to hear good news about themselves, it seems, and once she’d mastered the art of seeing into their minds and futures, she could give them all kinds of good news and have it be accurate, too.

Her graduation led her to starting her own business as an astrologer to the stars (actually, D-list and down, but who’s counting?), and in time, supplementing that income with YouTube videos on basic astrology subjects and discussions of transits and predictions of what they would mean in the future.

She’s been in the business for 13 years now,

She still sends money home to her family — the price to keep them out of her life.
