It’s another hot summer Friday afternoon out here in Farron City, New Jersey. The streets are quite busy during this time as most of the citizens here are on a lunch break from work. The atmosphere is lively with traffic and crowds of people having conversations while crossing the road. It’s just the way Cassie Bullard had left it several years ago when she would stand upon a building rooftop and look at the scenery in admiration. Sometimes she would let herself get lost in thought while up on the rooftop enjoying the silence. The wind whispering into her long pointy ears would be the only noise she didn’t mind hearing while perceiving the bustling, loud city at the bottom.

Cassie, the four time female bodybuilding champion of Ms. Iron Anthro Muscle (often pronounced, “I AM” as an advertisement pseudonym) returned to her hometown to visit some old friends she grew up with. It’s been a long time since she has been in Farron City and while the stores may have changed, the streets remained the same as did a few other places that she know of. She recalls the days living here since puphood replaying certain scenarios in her head on each street that she walked. From the playgrounds playing with her friends to the now closed down gymnasium where she began weight lifting in hopes to one day get her pro card in the bodybuilding competition.

Now in the present, she comes across a familiar hot dog stand that she would often buy a snack from on a weekend like this. The same worker who operated the stand since her puphood greets her in the same fashion still calling her, “Lil’ Ebony Pup”. As always, she giggled like a kid because it was great to see the old man again hearing him call her that. She begins to sit down on the stool to have a conversation with her friend, but she couldn’t help but notice someone was looking from the corner of her eye. Suddenly, it seemed as if it was a slow motion moment for her to give a seductive type glance as she blinked slowly to look over at the guy. She responds, “Hey…” with a brief smile and then looks back at the old man. Then the environment seemed to revert back to its normal pace as she begins talking to the old man while paying for her bottled water.

Ever since I last drew Cassandra in 2009, some people would ask me about her and if there were more pictures. Since I was focused on another story cast of characters, Cassandra was put on the back burner until it was time for me to (if ever) start working on the story that involves her. But like I said before, people been asking about her, asking about her, annnnd asking about her (“…When will you draw Cassie again?”) since -> http://www.furaffinity.net/view/3322623/ until this year, I intended to draw someone else, but the way this image started out, it kind of reminded me of the bodybuilder. So the thought of the many viewers asking for years came to mind and there you have it… I brought Cassie back from the shadows in her best shape!
