Gonna list my character(s) and give some information. Please look it over and give me some ideas or thoughts. I like doing stuff. I love character development.

Overview
Cassandra has become a rather adorable innocent young lady who is just starting to become mature. She is being intensely bullied and is starting to show signs of becoming self abusive and self destructive. She currently considers herself in an unofficial relationship with Lochlann. She is having problems coping with the death of her parents, the discovery of her powers, her adoption and suddenly finding out that her father has been cheating on her mother with a mysterious woman since before she was born. She is very impressionable, unable to stand up for herself and very physically weak. Has yet to use her powers. She will also be spending some time in the hospital due to a concussion.
Friends
Cassandra will likely begin to push people away from her in the near future. She hasn't been to the school long and doesnt have many people around that she knows, though it seems that a couple of mysterious strangers (Lilly and D) have taken an interest in her. I think some relationships that might benefit her would be someone who can train her to defend herself. I would also like to see someone who can take a lead in a conversation.
Romance
Cassandra currently has a pretty solid 'thing' for Lochlann though it has yet to be determined where that is going and what is going to happen when the secrets they are keeping from each other get discovered. She is still in a relatively obsessed state with Lochlann and she would likely have to be romanced to some extent in order to have her affections swayed.
NOTE: CASSANDRA IS 14. YES IT'S GROSS. ROMANCE IS IMPORTANT TO HER, NOT TO ME. THE ONLY REASON THIS IS AN OPTION IS BECAUSE SHIT HAPPENS.
Enemies
Cassandra is aggressive only when she doesn't feel outnumbered or insignificant. She currently has a reputation as a slut and home-wrecker. Getting in the way of her and boys and coming onto Lochlann is a quick way to get on her bad side.
Ideas
Experimentation
An older student or teacher giving her some one-on-one lessons involving the development of her powers.
Another Kind Of Experiment
Maybe save this one for later, but a little bi-curious-ness ain’t gonna hurt anyone.

<a href='http://z12.invisionfree.com/Manta_Carlos_Islands/index.php?showtopic=5333&st=0&#last' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Lucilius Valle</a>
Overview
Inwardly pompous, outwardly polite but come off as weird most of the time. Uncomfortable in social settings. Does not have any ability to open up to people or share a deep emotional connection. Has problems expressing what he wants or needs. Please note he is very intolerant of other people and does have a tendency to leave in situations he finds uncomfortable when given the opportunity.
Friends
He doesn't like most people. He prefers people who he can push around a little bit who aren't going to lash out at him or get offended if he gets weird or says something off-putting. he will likely do best with a gentle and understanding person. However, I'd like to see him make friends with higher energy people that would push him out of his comfort zone a little at a time. He requires comfort and stability from relationships before he begins to consider them positive.
Romance
He could potentially have a significant other but it's not something he's interested in or ready for. It will end badly but I'm more than willing to go ahead and do it anyway. He has shown interested in both male and female characters, but nothing concrete. He has a tendency to find people that he can push around or make nervous more attractive than people who have dominant personalities, however I doubt that someone like that would be able to keep a relationship with him together for a long period of time. He hates being touched and kissing him will cause him to refuse to speak to them for awhile. He has the potential to become very possessive.
Enemies
Lucilius isn't really into wasting energy hating people and will likely never go out of his way to cause problems with someone, though problems still happen more frequently than he'd like. He is physically weak but would feel the need to defend his honor or someone else's if he had to. He does have formal self defense training. I'm not going to go out of my way to make enemies for Lucilius unless there are some deeper underlying problems or perhaps a comical element to the issues.
Ideas:
Steps Towards Security
After developing a relationship with someone I hope to have his friend share some personal things with him in hopes that Luclius will learn more about empathy and healthy relationships.
We're Not So Different
A thread that would spell out for Lucilius the reasons why people do what they do and are who they are. Maybe someone literally telling him why a person is doing something that he may not approve of while actively trying to help him understand or someone telling him why they've done the things that they've done.
'Lilly Evans' AKA Lu
Overview
Lilly (or Lu as D calls her) has a handful of mental and physical problems since her body is a tad messed up due to her breeding. She was bred to be a sort of pet for high-ranked demons (mostly unknown to her) and because of this tends to unknowingly and institutionally tends to follow commands and wills of demons. She is a very willful person and if she is aware she is being controlled she is able to fight it. Beyond that, when she has any sort of physical contact she reads/eats brainwaves from that individual. This usually takes the form of a current thought or random memory. Personality-wise Lilly is a huge closet nerd and is secretly rather responsible and intelligent. She is outgoing, friendly and empathetic most of the time but also has a fiery temper. She has plenty of dark secrets, some entirely unknown to her.
Friends
Lilly loves people, loves parties and loves a good jam session but she feels that the only person who will ever truly understand her is D. Though that doesn't prevent her from trying to understand other people.
Romance
She's romantic, but far from a hopeless romantic. She doesn't fall for cheap BS and will sometimes misinterpret genuine displays of affections as such. As romantic as she is, she's not particularly looking for anything serious and isn't interested in physical stuff. She really enjoys the beginnings of a relationship: heart pounding kisses, finding out each other's secrets and sneaking out to cuddle on the roof, but tends to break it off once the honeymoon phase is over. She does not do this on purpose, she's just bit of a thrill seeker.
Enemies
She claims to be allergic to idiot but in her personal dictionary 'idiot' is defined as someone who has some sort of view she deems ignorant, someone's judgmental or someone who says dumb things. She hates it when people try to stick their nose in people's business though she feels the need to do so herself all the time, especially when she eats a sensitive memory. She is really very aggressive and outspoken and doesn't know what TMI is. Once she gets an idea in her head it tends to stick.
Dissonance AKA D
Overview
D is a weird dude, shady, quiet and with eyes that study everything anyone does. As you can imagine, due to the fact that he is pretty much invisible by default he hasn’t had a lot of deep relationships. He isn’t detached entirely though. For a demon in disguise, he likes the company of others though his favorite past time is still screwing with people and causing trouble for everyone. It is sort of an addiction for him. He is rather cynical and calculating. He tends to sit back in his ghost state and watch before announcing himself and Lilly tends to let it happen. He can use hypnotism and mind control to get people to do things but he never announces that he does it on the rare occasion he actually does.
Friends
He’s not really against having friends but he is against opening up to people. He is a relatively good listener but even when it comes to Lilly he doesn’t open up much. He isn’t a entirely in love with huge crowds and as far as attention goes he doesn’t mind being on stage though he’d rather not be the main act.
Romance
He likes dating and physical relationships but will likely not fall in love with anyone. He has a habit of cheating and getting bored of people though he never really does it on purpose.
Enemies
Screwing with Lilly is the fastest way to get on his bad side. He hates people who wont mind their own business or don’t respect his boundaries.
