Cassette Girl

Cassette Girl is an original character created by SoftDon that was first seen as a concept art made back in 2018. Though Don never made any music for the character, Cassette Girl was frontpaged on the site in the art portal frequently. In December of 2020, she was teased in Friday Night Funkin' as a playable character, alongside Pico, Tankman, and Hank J. Wimbletonhttps://youtu.be/HMNKUo3CCpU?t=50, which skyrocketed the character's popularity. 
However, due to controversy surrounding its creator in July of 2023, the character became less and less popular and faded into irrelevancy. Softdon has since deleted his Newgrounds account and is not considered a current member of the Newgrounds community. 
== Description ==
Cassette Girl is a robot woman in her early 20's with a long reels of magnetic tapes all over her head that resemble dark hair. She wore a slightly-torn dark purple hat with a cassette player built in it as well as hoodies with black shorts and a purple sneakers with untied shoe-laces. She was meant to be a music mascot for SoftDon's own music label whenever he decided to make music. 
== Abilities ==
As shown in an early concept sketch, Cassette Girl can open the lower half of her face to reveal a cassette player. She also has various audio connectors and knobs on the back of her neck, shown in another concept sketch with cables plugged into the connectors. In Rushdown Rivals, she has a abilities to teleporting, possibly from her cassette player hat.
== Origin ==
While making a cover art for Rav album VESTIGES back in 2017, Don were able to listen to one of the music that Rav made on Soundcloud that will be released for the album. One of the tracks that he listen to was "YOU FUCKERS WERE ASKING FOR THIS ONE (Boin Edit)"(a re-released song from 2015). According to Don, this music is what inspired him to created Cassette Girl as a music mascot, so he could make a music just like Rav.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZU4giz91aR0&pp=ygUVc29mdGRvbiBjYXNzZXR0ZSBnaXJs 
== Reception ==
Cassette Girl gained somewhat of a following when the artwork of her was frontpaged, and many artist from Newgrounds, Twitter, and other sites drew a fanart of her alongside Don's other OC's. But it wasn't until she was teased in the teaser for Friday Night Funkin' that the character eventually grew in popularity. She was also one of the playable characters for Rushdown Rivals. 
Since SoftDon's controversy and Newgrounds account deletion, the character's popularity declined heavily - especially on Newgrounds, due to the creator not being an active member or supporter of the community.
