Cassandra
Personality:
Cassandra, welcome to the Mystical Jellicles Club! Seriously, Cassandra seems to have some sort of power, even if it isn’t as great as Mr. Mistoffelees’s. She doesn’t really join any of the trios singing parts of other songs, for example, Demeter, Bombalurina, and Jellylorum. She often dances somewhat near the front, but doesn’t have that many solos. She has this look in her eyes that suggests she’s concentrating on something else, sometimes. When she sings the few solos she has, she extends one paw towards the Jellicle Moon. Cassandra apparently has some connection with the Moon, as do Mistoffelees, Coricopat, and Tantomile.
CATS Spotter’s Guide Entry:
Cassandra’s actually one of the easier cats to pick out. While many other cats have legwarmers, arm warmers, shoulder fur, fluffy tails, etc, Cassandra went for the smooth look. Her "fur" is dark brown, with an off-white chest and white face makeup. Instead of using all that extra fur, she has a simple unitard, with a piece of what looks like braided leather for a tail. Instead of the big, puffy, headfur everyone else has, her headfur is smooth against her head, the ears much less prominent that in other wigs. For a collar, she has a (probably) leather one, with what look like pearls sewn onto it. Everyone says she's a Siamese, but she does NOT look like one.
Name Origin:
Like Demeter, Cassandra’s name comes from Greece, only this time it isn’t from mythology(well, not totally). Cassandra was a priestess, loved by Apollo, who when prompted by his ‘sunstroke’ uttered forth prophecies. However, when she refused his love, he made it so that no one would ever believe her prophecies. This cat appears to have that aura of prophetic mystery about her. She probably could tell fortunes, though she might need a little help from Mistoffelees.
Other Comments:
There aren’t as many theories about Cassandra as there are about other cats. One of them, however, says that she and Alonzo are "together." They do dance together in one scene, but I don’t think she’ll ever really settle down. She might have become Mistoffelees’s mate, except that he seems to have chosen Victoria. There’s no cat in all of the Ball who I see as fit for Cassandra, with the possible exception of Coricopat. No one really argues about this like they do about other relationships. Despite this, Cassandra is well-liked by all. I can imagine why...hold on, this just in! You know what I just said about the relationships? I've changed my mind...even if he's the biggest flirt to ever walk the planet, she and Tugger have their moments. During the beginning of Skimbleshanks's song, Tugger heads up to the junk pile behind Old Deuteronomy, and guess whose paw he ends up holding? Cassandra's! When Memory is over, guess who Cassie leads over to Grizabella? Tugger! Are those jealous noises I hear coming from Alonzo? We'll have to wait and see.
