Haven Cassidy's fidgety fingers twiddled her brunette bob. She was short for a twelve-year-old and pale for someone still breathing. She wore an emerald green jacket like all the girls at Hampstead, but trousers instead of a skirt. They had pockets for her gadgets and goodies.

CASSIDY'S A WEIRDO. She was hiding in a toilet cubicle, gawping at the charming graffiti. It was time for science, but she picked the lavatory over the laboratory, and not for the first time either. Not that she minded learning about atoms and elements, etc. - it's just that she much preferred going on MISSIONS. Nothing brought her more joy than sneakiness.
