Years later, tragedy struck as one of their former members, Lucrecia Mux, was warped by the war in her homeland of Grulovia into a genocidal monster known as Maligula. Eventually, the group began experimenting with their psychic abilities, sometimes going so far as to experiment on themselves using a device called the Astralathe, a device designed to alter a person's psyche, which they used to broaden their consciousness and knowledge of how their minds worked.
There she would befriend a man named Compton Boole, and the two of them would spend their time studying their shared ability to control bees and would bond over their shared love of bowling and beekeeping. Once she had fled the country, Cassie eventually joined a group of psychic researchers that would later be known as the Psychic Six.
The book became a hit, and she use some of the profits to buy a boat ticket and fled the country. She wrote a self help book called " Mindswarm," which she surreptitiously self-published via the printing press at her job. Trapped in fear between the police and her boss, she decided she had to flee for her life. The police used the information to blackmail Fannie instead of arresting her, leaving Cassie to fend for herself. Eventually the police arrested and interrogated her, and she testified against her boss. Her boss, Fannie Flats, forced her to make counterfeit money. In her youth Cassie worked for a printing press in Shanghai, China, having been "dumped there" by her parents. She is also not a fan of snitches and regrets having been one herself. Additionally, the mental constructs of her friends suggest that Cassie has sardonic side.Ĭassie's mind also suggests that she is very well-read, is environmentally conscious (due to her dislike of hydraulic mining), has an affinity for animals (particularly her bees), and resents being ignored by her colleagues. As such, she is at times: creative and somewhat egotistical, strict and controlling, nurturing and kind, and shrewd and resilient. She herself has four such personas based on past events of her life: An arrogant writer, a disciplinarian librarian, a motherly teacher, and a shifty counterfeiter. In her case, the loss of purpose following the battle and regrets over what happened have led to aspects of her personality be at war with each other, which prevent her from leaving her home.Ĭassie, who has had to take on many different roles in her life, shows a belief that a person's "true self" is actually made up of the various personas and behaviors they exhibit. However, like most of the other members of the Psychic Six, she is debilitated by her emotional issues after their confrontation with Maligula, leading to her powers being out of control. Of the members of the Psychic Six that Raz encounters, she is the only one of them who is immediately willing to help him, eager to be useful again. Her beekeeper suit that she dons on top has filled honeycombs with pine needles, twigs and leaves sticking out of it, and she also wears a brown face mask with bee-like eyes.Ĭassie is shown to be generally kind to others, especially her fans. She normally wears a long, blue wool dress, brown wool shawl, and a three-ringed necklace with interjoining beads. Long twigs, honey blobs, a honey dipper, and thorns adorn her hair. Her ears, nose, and mouth are very small.
#CASSIOPEIA CHOCOLATE SKIN#
I spoke to the same customer care person, Maya, the whole time and she were very helpful and quick to respond.Cassie is a tall, thin woman with chartreuse skin and graying black hair styled up on her narrow head. The dress arrived the day after I was told to expect it which was nice and I even had another email from their customer care team the day after checking the dress had arrived. Within a day of ordering, I got an email asking if I had any other bridesmaids who had also ordered a dress so that they could ensure all dresses were dyed at the same time and therefore were exact same shade, but I thought it was really great they made an effort to ensure dresses matched if that’s what you were trying to do. The dress itself is lovely, feels like good quality and has a nice weight. I bought a dress based on the sizing chart and the size was as expected. I also got a few swatches of fabric to ensure I liked the color.
I was really nervous about ordering online, to the extent that I only ordered one of the three bridesmaids’ dresses to start with.
