context_section_description: Bathalumang Cassiopei-a / Matá
  Portrayed by Solenn Heussaff-Bolzico
  The first ruling queen or the Hara Duryé of Lireo. Also known as Ang Mata (the Eye) of Encantadia. Cassiopeia is regarded as the bunggaitan or the most powerful engkantado in Encantadia, being a master in both the mystical and martial arts. She was entrusted the life-long responsibility of safekeeping the Mother Gem after it was created by Bathalang Emre to protect all life on their realm. However, after Sang'gre Adhara launched a full-blown attack on her secluded island to steal the Mother Gem, the former queen chose to cleave the powerful weapon, splitting it into five smaller gems. As punishment for playing god, Cassiopeia was cursed with an immortal life, unable to set foot in the kingdom she once ruled. During her exile, she used her power of precognition to help the citizens of Encantadia find the answers they seek in exchange for gold pieces. She directly opposed Bathalumang Ether, one of the creators of Encantadia who became intent on causing disorder and destruction in their realm, and played a vital role in Sang'gre Lira's mission to unite the five gems and bring reconciliation to the four feuding daughters of the former Hara Mine-a. She eventually aspired to become a deity herself, which was granted by Emre after she died trying to save Encantadia and for successfully restoring him into power. During her reign as the Queen of Lireo, she adopted an infant Sapirian named LilaSari, and the two shared a complicated mother-daughter relationship. She is the owner of the Kabilan, a twin-bladed wand which could turn into a sword, spar, staff, scepter, dagger, and boomerang. She dons a purple armor during combat. She speaks only Enchanta, but speaks Tagalog using telepathy.
