And I mean it.

Backstory

Preskip
Cassandra is a Black Eagles house student in the Garreg Mach Monastery. Though mostly skipping classes, she still excels in magic, especially anything spells related to thunder and lightning.
Before coming to the Monastery, Cassandra learned from many mages and magic users who stopped by her village. She, throughout the entire time at home and the Academy, experiments to develop her new spell, which is called "Fast travel" (yeah I know, very creative name, thank you).At war, she saved Rhea, yet accidentally 'killed' her sister. So to fulfill her promise, Cassandra decided to stay with the Church at Faerghus, helping them in the War.PostskipCassandra, under Rhea's wings, honed her skills in magic, finally completed her new teleportation spell.Still saddended by her sister's death, she swear to herself to become a better, more mature person to carry on her sister's responsibilities.


Personality

In contrast to her sister who is quite...reserved, Cassandra here is an energetic girl, and a very stubborn one, too. She can get herself into any talks or gossip, and Cassie is very chatty too, especially about her studies.Yet, she is quite ambitious and determined. Any goals she sets out, she will try and find ways to complete them at all costs.A quick learner and quick-witted student, the little gremlin always finds more ways to learn and study (except in class for some reason). Somehow, Cassandra is...lazy to an extent.A note, Cassandra can be a sassy ass if she needs to. So don't be surprised if she goes into her sassy mode when she is annoyed.


Trivia about her skills:

  • She is a warlock (by default)

  • Cassandra mostly uses Thunder/ Lightning spells, and her own teleporting one. Occasionally, dark magics but never healing spells since she sucks at it.

  • She creates a variation of Thunder/ Lightning spell, and can imbue them onto her weapons while using them. However, she still needs safety gear since if she is careless, Cassandra can get herself hurt.

  • Her teleportation spell is, basically, fast travel (like in Genshin and Skyrim). She uses wooden pins (Which are called 'focus points', creative I know) to focus and teleport safely.

  • The teleportation spell can be used on a maximum of 3 people (or animals/ objects). Cassandra can use it on enemies (After certain requirements are met in the battle). If she loses focus then mistakes will happen and send the person who is being teleported to a RANDOM spot (the seas count).

  • In the game, she can retreat a unit (once per match). After 5 turns, if the enemy hasn't moved for 3 turns then she can cast the teleport spell on them.

Relationship

  • Lysithea: They are friends while studying in the Academy. Helping each others learn, basically would sneak into somewhere quiet just to learn and talk. Sometimes being sassy with one another but if Cassie or Lysi gets into troubles, the other will help out immediately.

  • In North Star and SS routes, after the war ends, Cassandra will become the Academy professor, with Lysithea occasionally visits and sends letters. Though after some years, Cassandra retires and goes back to live with Lysithea in Ordelia's land. And of course, Lysithea is cured of her curse and the two live happily together.

  • AM route, Cassandra will go back to live with Lysithea (already cured) in Ordelia's land after the war ends.

  • Dorothea: Can be S-support. Her friend in many mischiefs, the two are inseparable, buddy, buddy chum pal with one another.

  • In the North Star ending, Cassandra will be a new professor, and Dorothea can perform again on stage in the Mittlefrank Opera.

  • AM and SS, they will leave to go on new adventures, seeking new experiences and thrilling stories.

  • Shamir: Nova says good vibes so lmao They interact more in post-skip though, Cassandra admires Shamir's archery skills, while Shamir has to tolerate her...outstanding skills while using bows. The two bond in the midst of war, and in every endings, Cassandra accompanies Shamir to go back to Dagdar.

  • Rhea: Has eyes on Cassandra's records of...skipping classes in the pre-skip era. Rhea is her mentor while the war happens, they bond over the loss of Lynden as Rhea sees her as a mini version of Lynden to protect, while Cassandra fulfills her promises to her sister. Yet they grow to have a close bond with one another. Cassandra becomes a skilled knight under her guidance, earning the title of 'Thunderbird'. Only A-Support.

  • Lindhardt: He, Cassie, and Dorothea are a chaotic trio though. Would pull Caspar with him to help Cassandra experiment with her new spell. A-Supports.
