Main character influences: Victoria Grayson (Revenge) and Erica Kane (All My Children)

Positives: Cassandra is unapologetically herself and confident in her approach. She has a lot of understandable emotional barriers to building meaningful connections, but those she does accept into her circle are fiercely protected. She is determined to achieve great things and avoid making similar mistakes to her parents.

Negatives: Cassandra can come across as stubborn, selfish and stuck up to those who don’t know her background. She can present as cold and at times sarcastic in conversation with people she doesn’t know or trust. She often has the best intentions, however is driven by her emotions which can lead to bad decision making. A lot of Cassandra’s self-esteem is tied up in the value she feels on her show, therefore if she feels her position as the leading lady, or the show in general, is under threat, she can become angry and irrational and schemes to prevent her fears from coming true. She has a tendency to mask her emotions with a cold exterior and fake smile, however when alone often “unmasks”.
