Distinguishing Marks:

Hobbies: going to bars, long rides, baseball and football games, creating mixed drinks, loves to dance.

Psychological Background: The first word that comes to mind is 'spunky' followed usually by a word that begins with B and rhymes with itch. She knows her mind and isn't afraid to make everyone else know it too. She's not easily intimidated, confident in her skills, and not afraid to have a good time. She loves medicine. But it's not her life. She's always up to new challenges and sees projects through.

Personality Quirks: She does not go to concerts. In her mind, if she wants to hear a good band, she'll go to a bar, and she does. Likes her music loud, preferring rock music. Rides her motorcycle rain or shine. Her hair is naturally very curly, and she lets it hang wild, pulling it back only when she has to. All men are held up to the impossibly high standard of her father. She doesn't dress like a 'doctor,' eschewing 'professional' clothes for what's comfortable for her. Which is usually tighter and lower cut than the status quo.

History: The one consistent thing about her is her love of sports. Her mother was a cheerleader, her father was the quarterback. In high school at least. Lynette had to drop out of school in her junior year to have her baby, and Brady was cut from the football team when his grades suffered on account of working in a pizza parlor. But they tried to make a go of it, at least until Cassidy was four.

Her mother turned twenty one and decided it was time to live her life, so one night she took off and was never seen again, leaving Cassidy with her twenty two year old father. They moved in with his mother, and Brady went back to work, also attending college. He got an associates' degree in management, and played arena football. He was promoted to coach of the team when Cassidy was eleven, and had spent her childhood surrounded by big burly football players who treated her like their mascot. On days off, and the off season, her father took her baseball games, and another love was born.

She played sports in school, softball, field hockey, swimming. She was an average athlete, but enjoyed them, and also loved the look of pride on her father's face, who she had grown close to. She was definitely a daddy's girl, and daddy can never do anything wrong. She never really missed her mother, she had her father, an aunt, an uncle, cousins later, and her grandmother.

When she was seventeen, her grandmother had a stroke. They decided against a nursing home and the whole family cared for her at home. Her health never recovered, and Cassidy went to college close to home so she could help take care of her, her grandmother finally dying in her senior year of college. Taking care of her grandmother, going with her to doctor's appointments and therapy sessions, and hanging around the football field with the trainers and doctors gave her a love for medicine, and she was able to combine that love with her love for sports in sports medicine.

She knows it gets knocked as 'not a real specialty,' but she is proud of it, and what she does. She was one of the doctors on her father's football team, and did her internship there. She did a season with the Chargers, and the Lakers, keeping her resume out there for new challenges.

She was suprised to get a call from Ocean Cove for their diagnostics department, but figured, what the hell? It's something she hasn't done before.
