Cassandra is the first character I’ve created (I think I was… eight? probably).
She’s Elia’s sister, Feah’s aunt and a great friend for Vermilion and - in a complicated way - also for Scarlet.
She’s a mage and a healer and shares with her brother the love for the boundless sky, but maybe in a more… organic way? She’s, in fact, a fearless dragon rider and has a special connection with the fire-breathing creatures.
Like her brother, Cassandra is cheerful and warm, with a strong motherly instinct for… every living being, from the medicinal herbs she collects for her potions to the, well, fire-breathing huge animals mentioned before.
While she is a wise woman (certainly the wiser in her family), she can also be quite uncompromising when her values are questioned and totally ruthless when someone she loves is in danger.
