Name: Casper D'evereux

Age: 147 years old (appears 13)

Height: 4' 10" (147.32 cm)

Species: Kuchisake-kodomo

    Kuchisake-kodomo is a spirit of a child who was viciously mauled by a pair of scissors. They have the corners of their lips cut up to their ears, and may have other parts of the body cut up depending on how badly their murderer wanted to damage them. They can occasionally have periods of madness, but only if they see something that triggers memories of their death.

    
Ability:

• Sewing. See those pretty lips he has? Did them himself. Get that same look for just under $100!!! Has a pretty good talent for surgically sewing parts together. He did his face himself when it became a nuisance while talking. His surgical sewing isn’t the neatest, but it gets the job done.

.: Personal Information :.

Likes:

• Sewing plush dolls. Casper’s made many stuffed animals, especially bears.

• Sponge cake. Casper loves it with fresh whipped cream and strawberries especially.

• Tea with cream and sugar. He has sort of a sweet tooth, possibly due to being a child.

• Playing the glass armonica. Casper has taken a liking to ever since he was introduced to it as a young child. Surprisingly does not trigger any memories for Casper.

• Chess. It’s a game that exercises his mind.

• Snow. It appears soft, and reminds him of purity.

• Animals. They seem to not care about his appearance. He especially loves butterflies and moths.

• The colors black and white. Very simple, and elegant.

• Red roses and white lilies. They’re his favorite flowers.

• Scented baths. Especially when the bathwater is mixed with rosewater or lavender.

Dislikes:

• Coffee. The bitter taste makes Casper cringe, even with sugar and milk.

• Hot, sunny days. Because of Casper’s pale skin, he easily burns in the sun, and he usually tends to stay indoors.

• His slitted face. Casper finds it frightening at times, and knows it’s not the norm to have stitches upon his face.

• Mirrors. He doesn't want to see his face knowing it's disfigured.

• Summertime. Oh, the season where he stays indoors unless it’s cloudy outside.

• Bright or neon colors. He hates them as much as he hates his ripped up face.

• Fried foods. Those fried chicken wings have got to go.

• Communicating with others. It’s not that Casper doesn’t like people, it’s just very embarrassing to talk as he has a pretty noticeable lisp, and the change of the person asking what happened to his face is 50% at least.

Fears:

    Casper fears quite a few things. For example, Casper is afraid of any blade besides his sewing scissors. It is probably due to the fact that he does not want to be cut any further than he already has, although it is ironic how he is comfortable around scissors in general. Casper is also afraid of the flashbacks of his death that he occasionally sees when dreaming. The amount of blood he sees terrifies him greatly, and he does not know why he sees them, as he cannot recall how he died. But the thing that Casper is the most frightened of is himself. His face looks like it was the works of Frankenstein, and in all honesty he is afraid of his looks because of it.

Strengths:

    Caspar’s strengths lies in his sewing skills. He’s very good at sewing, really, and he sews dolls, clothing, and the occasional self-sewing. It’s kind of scary seeing such a young child so good at sewing, especially when he sews his mouth back shut when the thread gets loose. He is also quite good when it comes to strategy. He can beat many people at the games of chess or checkers, and if threatened he’s pretty good at defending himself using strategy and, if needed, a small pair of sewing scissors.

Weaknesses:

    Despite him being very strategic and handy when it comes to sewing, Casper has more than a handful of weaknesses. He’s very weak physically, and cannot defend himself in hand-to-hand combat. Casper also has an extremely hard time communicating with people, and will often stutter due to difficulty of speaking.

Goals:

    To learn to control himself so that he could accept others as friends. He really does want friends, but he doesn’t trust himself to let anyone become close to him.

.: Personal Info :.

Personality:

    Casper is a quiet boy who appears to not socialize. He often tends to isolate himself from others, and is often found by himself. He doesn’t show much emotion, as it hurts to smile or frown, causing him to learn to keep a straight face most times. Casper is quite lonely, seeing as he has no friends, yet he turns away anyone who tries to be social to him, as his fear of hurting others overcomes his desire for friends. Despite that, Casper is normally very gentle, and likes nothing more than to tend the flowers that he grows in his dorm so that the butterflies and moths may visit and feed from the nectar.

When he sees anything that triggers some sort of memory of his death, which is rare, Casper will have a temporary period of insanity. These outbursts happen once in a blue moon, and doesn’t last more than an hour, but if near anyone can cause much damage. His eyes will change color from its usual purple to a blood red, and Casper will become quite bloodthirsty. If no one is around, he will most likely cut if up any fabrics around him. If some poor soul is near, however, then he or she will meet the same fate that Casper had. Of course, it is not too hard to restrain him as long as one catches his strange behaviour before he loses himself. If it does end up in damage, Casper will end up feeling guilt when he regains his usual self, which usually causes him to avoid that person even more.

History:

    Casper was born in the late 1800s in the large city of Paris. A member of the wealthy aristocratic class, Casper enjoyed the lavish lifestyle of an Parisian aristocrat, and often went to many balls held by important persons. Despite that, he was not vain. The Marchioness D'evereux, his mother whose heart was as beautiful as her looks, taught Casper to be kind and charitable, and by doing so he would be loved. His father, the Marquis D'evereux, also told him that he had to do good to earn the love of others. And so Casper never asked for much, although in the end he was spoiled by other relatives.

    At the age of ten, Casper was to be engaged with a young girl named Aurélie Charbonneu. It was arranged by the parents, as the Charbonneus wished to raise their rank in the noble class. The Marquis D'evereux agreed, as he would be able to take partial control of more major companies. Because of this, Casper would be the heir to all the companies when both D'evereux and Charbonneu passed away.

    Aurélie's older brother, Jacques, was upset by this. He was originally supposed to gain control of the companies owned by his father, yet now it was given to Casper, who was five years younger than he. Jacques soon developed envious feelings for the young boy, and would often show little to no respect for him. Casper didn't mind, however. He spent more time with the sweet and perky Aurélie, who was overjoyed at the fact that she was his fiancé, and ignored Jacques succesfully for three years.

    Jacques' jealousy never faded away. Quite in contrast, in fact, it grew as Casper and Aurélie got older. He wanted so badly to have power in the business world, and a young kid was taking his only chance from having it. Jacques soon often found himself finding a twisted sense of joy when Casper would get hurt while practicing fencing. He especially enjoyed it when he would poke the tip of his sword at Casper's chest, and it took all amounts of restraint to not grab a real, bladed sword and stick it into the young boy. Had he done so, he would never have gotten away with it.

    When Casper became thirteen, his mother fell ill with a severe case of the measles. As she had a weak immune system, it was very tolling on her body, and so, to prevent Casper from catching the illness, his father sent him to the Charbonneu estate. Aurélie was absolutely excited to have him stay for a bit. Jacques, however, was less than pleased. For a week Casper stayed peacefully in their household before the Lady Charbonneu took Aurélie out to shop, leaving Casper alone with Jacques. Casper believed that Jacques didn't care for him, but he was unaware that Jacques was wrathful of the young boy. Jacques, meanwhile, knew this was the perfect time to get rid of Casper.

    The closest thing that could act as a weapon was a pair of sewing scissors, left behind by one of the maids. With this Jacques snipped at Casper's face, who screamed in pain for almost a half hour before he blacked out, dying an hour later from blood loss. It was the most horrible thing, to feel harrowing pain while being conscious, to feel your skin rip and blood flood into your mouth, so much that you were practically choking on the thick, red liquid. And yet no one heard him except his murderer.

    It was strange, to wake up only to not be what he once was, or how he ended up as a spirit. Casper knew he had died; it was impossible for such a young boy like him to go through such torture and still be alright, and when he looked at himself through a piece of glass he nearly cried out. His face, now white as snow, was bloody, his mouth slit from ear to ear. His skin was raw from the cuts, and one could see his flesh clearly. For a while it was like this, until Casper found thread, a needle, and a pair of scissors, enough so that he could sew his wounds close. He kept these materials, in case, to remind himself of the damage done to his face, while avoiding mirrors, as he could not bear to see the horrifying damage that had been done to him.

    He isolated himself from others as a spirit, but then found himself bored. Casper needed something to do. He enjoyed sewing, but he did not wish to continue sewing dolls forever. And he had always wanted to go into medical studies. Trying to find a place where he could learn the skills he wanted, Casper encountered a brochure for a school, which not only had supernatural beings as students but also had classes for medical studies. Interested, he found himself applying to the school, wondering the whole time if he could find someone who could accept him.

Avery -
The friendliest person Casper has met by far, and the first person he met on campus. They're close friends, although that fact worries Casper a bit for Avery's safety. Especially when Samhain's around. Which is every day.
Babette -
He wishes she wouldn't hide her smile, since he himself wishes that he were able to smile widely. But Babette seems nice, even though she's a bit strange at times.
Brünhilde -
She seems quite motherly, despite her seeming to always want to touch Casper and study his stitches. Casper enjoys her company.
Cal -
He got over the fact that Cal made his friend turn into a puddle of ink because Cal let him pet his cats. And Casper likes cats. But he's weird like Oreo. 
Conrad -
Seems nice to Casper. Although Casper doesn't really like talking. 
Gray - 
One thing Casper's certain about him is that Gray probably doesn't know his name. It's not Stitches, by the way.
Helmintio -
He doesn't seem to like Casper much. And Casper kind of took it personally. His looks just kind of terrify him in general, honestly.
Iantha -
She'd be ten times better if she didn't try to make him eat a vegetable.
Kichi -
STOP TAKING SAMHAIN'S BODY AND LEAVING CASPER WITH THE HEAD.
Kurami -
Her hair... it's so long...
Lace -
He's definitely a moving statue. Definitely.
Leviatian - 
His hair is even longer than Kurami's. What.
Lucy -
Very bubbly and strange. Casper thinks she means well, though.
mCasper - 
It's already bad enough that mCasper has the same terrible stitched-up face he has, but Casper is so afraid of him. He's even more afraid that mCasper might attack one of his friends. Especially Samhain. mCasper knows Samhain and Casper worries for Sammy because of it.
mHelmy -
What kind of man puts red lipstick on, gropes people's butts, and takes someone's underwear all in the same day...?
mSamhain - 
He's... unsettling. Really, really unsettling. Casper hopes he doesn't ever need to see him again. 
Oleander -
Ah... What's this weird feeling that he feels when he's around Oleander? It can't be that he's possibly attracted to him or anything, no... Perhaps it's just a phase? Okay, Casper is aware that he has feelings for Oleander, but he refuses to acknowledge them. He doesn't have a crush on Oleander. He's just very attached to him. Yes. That's it.
Orielle -
"Oreo"'s a strange name. And she thought he and Ole were dating, which was really weird. 
Samhain -
Although Samhain probably doesn't believe him, Casper has begun to care about him. Even though he's a little strange, with his pumpkins and spiders and fake blood and what-not, he doesn't hate Samhain. He just worries about him too much. And he worries about the state of the room when Samhain is alone at home. 
Saya - 
She seems nice, but Casper really doesn't ever know what to say to her.
Sinclair -
His love for red is kind of weird. But Casper does like him, even though Sinclair always tries to make him wear red.
Sitka | Noriel  -  |
Sitka's strange, and Norrie talks about Disney, whatever that is, but Casper likes them both anyway. He doesn't exactly know about the whole Sitka and Noriel thing going on. He'll find out when he realizes they're never together at the same time.
Theon -
Theon introduced Casper to the trends of the modern world, like sunglasses and the word "awesome". He's quite cheerful, but Casper doesn't mind him, even when he stole Casper's first kiss.
Yasmine -
She offered him drugs, but he don't do Ibuprofen. Otherwise seems nice.
