Personality: Casey has often been described as being 10 going on 30 by those who know her the best. She has accomplished more in her short years on earth than some people ever accomplish in a lifetime. While some might think that's all because of her family, who they are and the resources at their fingertips, that's not entirely true. While it is certain that she has certain advantages thanks to her family's wealth, it's always been Casey's drive that has propelled her forward. She can be like a tornado at times, a true force of nature. When she gets an idea in her head, she's unstoppable, and her success in life thus far is proof positive of that.
In spite of the level of maturity she displays when it comes to her career as a dancer, she is still just a little girl. She can been just as goofy, silly, and overly dramatic as any other girl her age. She can also be a bit of a brat at times. Like her mother, she's quite moody. She can go from being the perfect angel to a complete and total pain in the ass in a matter of seconds.
Just like the rest of the Velmonts, she has a pretty high sense of entitlement that can manifest itself by way of a nasty attitude every once in a while. She hates when things don't go her way and tends to act out when that happens, though never in a competition setting. It's almost like she's two different versions of herself sometimes; the well mannered dancer and the rotten apple of her grandfather's eye.
History: Casey was a surprise. Her mother, Tess, was just a teenager when she got pregnant. Her grandparents had no idea what to do about her when she came into the world and her mother was far too young to accept responsibility for a child, so they did the same thing they did with all of their other children; They hired a nanny to live in the Velmont home and care for her while the rest of them went on about their lives.
Having a skill was very important in the Velmont household. Christian, the patriarch of the family, liked for his girls to learn to do girlish things. This started out with Casey becoming involved in gymnastics when she was barely old enough to toddle around. Eventually this led to her taking dance classes, something for which she had a natural talent. As a little girl, Casey could out maneuver girls several years her senior. It was thought that this was due, perhaps, to her small size having been born prematurely. Of course this was nurtured in her, but it was her own natural drive that propelled her into stardom.
At ten years of age, Casey holds several prestigious titles in dance. She has starred in several music videos and has been featured in a number of national and international dance magazines. From a distance, anyone could look at her and believe that she has the perfect life. She comes from a family with immeasurable wealth, has a very promising career in something she loves ahead of her, and she's a very smart, talented, and beautiful little girl. There is, however, one thing that Casey is missing; A father. Her mother has never told her, nor would anyone else in the family tell her, who her father is nor has she ever met him. And now that she is older and has come to realize that the story her mother always told her about where she came from isn't true, she's become quite determined to figure out just who her father really is.
Unfortunately for Casey, that has taken a bit of a sideline since her mother made the rather abrupt decision to leave the city and relocate to the Velmont family's Summer home in Lakewood Shores, Maine. Although Casey has been assured that she will be able to continue to pursue her career as a professional dancer and that she will adapt to life in a smaller town after a while, she is none too happy about this and she certainly isn't afraid to say so.
