Cassie

**Cassie** is one of the twelve main characters in the Star Darlings animated and book series. She is the main point of view for the sixth Star Darlings book *Cassie Comes Through*. She first appears in the episode *Star Charmed* and is voiced by Kate Micucci (episodes 1-12) and Libe Barer (The Power of Twelve). Cassie's roommate at Starling Academy is Sage and her first wisher on Wishworld is Lila.

## Appearance

Cassie is a baby-faced girl with thick black lashes and soft rosy eyes. Akin to all Starlings, she bears slightly sparkly skin with a pale complexion. Her long glimmering pinkish-white hair is up in perky little pigtail buns, fastened into place with star pins. She wears a light pink buttoned shirt with small, sheer ruffled sleeves attached to a four-layered ruffled skirt and a pair of grey sneakers. Until her first day at Starling Academy, she wore big round glasses. Once Lady Stella gave each girl her Wish Pendant, Cassie wore a pair of very cool-looking star-shaped glasses, which she seemed delighted with, despite herself.

On Wishworld, Cassie's pale pink hair becomes platinum-blond with pale pink tips; her skin loses its sparkle, and her clothes become more Wishworld-friendly: a pink long-sleeved dress with many layers of ruffles and a pair of pink laced-up shoes.

## Personality

Cassie is a loyal, caring friend and very generous. She is smart and always has her nose in a book. Cassie is also very imaginative and artistic. Because she was often left alone at her uncle's manor, she found comfort in charting constellations and reading books.

Since she lost her parents, Cassie has been closed-off and bottles up her true feelings. She is afraid that if she gets close to someone, they will leave just like her parents did. While she is very faithful at times, she can often become moody and distrustful.

## Powers and Abilities

### Starling Physiology

Being a Starling, Cassie possesses all of the natural traits that the species has.

* **Wish Energy Manipulation** - Cassie harnesses positive wish energy for most of her abilities.
* **Energy Blasts** - As displayed in *The Power of Twelve*, wish energy can be used to fire streams, bursts, orbs, and waves of offensive power against opponents.
* **Force Fields** - Demonstrated in the above special, Cassie can conjure shields as defense.
* **Extended Lifespan** - In *Scarlet Discovers True Strength*, it’s confirmed that Starlings can live for thousands of years, as Mira’s grandmother is over thousands of years old. Before that, in *Leona's Unlucky Mission* it was hinted that a few decades wasn’t too long in comparison to Starling lifespans. However, they do not have eternal youth, as Professor Elara Ursa is stated to be among one of the oldest wish granters and has clearly aged in a similar manner to a wishling elder.
* **Disease Immunity** - In *Scarlet Discovers True Strength*, it states that the wish energy surrounding Starlings keeps them from contracting illnesses.
* **Superhuman Knowledge** - In *Leona's Unlucky Mission*, Starlings are shown to be nigh-perfect at mathematics from birth. *Astra's Mixed-Up Mission* also implies that Starlings are the same way towards towards literature and similar subjects such as language and grammar.
* **Invisibility** - She mentioned her power when explaining that she found her Starzap in Lady Stella's office to her friends in *The Power of Twelve*
* **Teleportation** - In *The Power of Twelve*, she is shown to be teleporting when defeating Rancora.

### **Wish Mission Signature Powers**

The Star Darlings each gain a power that is meant to assist with carrying out their wish missions. It is unknown if this is exclusive to them, or if they only work on Wishworld, as Adora uses hers to heal Vega in the The Power of Twelve.

* **Volume Changing** - In *Cassie Comes Through*, Cassie uses this power to increase her Wisher's voice so it can be loud enough for her teacher to hear her.
