## Personality

Cassidy can be described throughout the story as a socialite who is very cold and haughty and always negatively mocks the player due to their relationship with their main love interests which results in her getting remarked on badly by both Colin Spencer and the players from the main story routes.

When it comes to Gabriel Simons, she is happy and polite indicating that she admires him the most and conceals her true personality whenever Gabriel is in their presence, this is due to him being her only friend. In Gabriel's story, she was portrayed as the main antagonist as the player's rival going as far as she could to get Gabriel's attention, especially during his relationship with the player. Her actions also cause the player to break up with Gabriel after she retaliated by taking a photo of both of them making out inside of his office which resulted in the bad ending where the player decided to go with Matt after breaking up with Gabriel due to the incident that Cassidy had made. However, in the beginning season 2, Gabriel is aware of Cassidy's nastiness and hatred towards the player and puts her in her place after he saw that she was abusing her position as the head of HR to harass the player and threaten her relationship with Gabriel. Which upset her as she walked away with disdain. She still continued to make a villainy towards the player in later chapters by saying sarcastic but terrible remarks about her. In Chapter 8, she evenly threatens the player that she is able to fire her on the spot after taking a sarcastic tone on her. However during the events of Chapter 9 as Jenny explains to the player about her past life, Cassidy is not single as she is separated from her abusive husband and had a failed marriage life when she became a battered wife. She had currently filed for a divorce from her husband after the trial of his crimes and is starting her new life without him which is the reason why she mistreats her female co-workers, including the player and will never fall in love with any other man after her now ex-husband. In Chapter 10, she continued to antagonize the player because of her evaluation and shows her abuse of power by not letting the player to sit down and berates her for letting her friends get fired at her expense. However, her abuse of power in her job was later reprimanded by Mark and finally give horrible threats to the higher up which Mark states this as a threat before she leaves in disappointment. Despite this, Cassidy's horrible actions towards her employees including the player are resulted to get herself fired by Mark according to Gabriel when he and the player had stayed at her office to celebrate her firing. At the final chapter of the story, Cassidy had a physical catfight with the player following her firing at the company in a similar manner as the player had a physical catfight with Fiona at Chapter 8 in Adam's story. Her catfight also cause the player to get reprimanded by Mark who angrily stated her actions for being unacceptable which led the player to resign the company before he could give her a sanction.

In Matt's story, she became angry and disdain after finding out that Gabriel and Mark Leviels gave the player a raise of her salary because of her work performance. Despite the player personally wanting to angrily lash her out because of her behavior due to Matt stopping her. She couldn't care less towards others if someone like the player wanted her to get fired because of her higher position.

In Ryan's story during the second season, Cassidy had a group of co-workers within the player's management section whom the player calls them as a group of shrewd people, going as far as making false accusations towards her and using Thomas Gordon as it means by provoking the player out. However, she and her group had panicked because of the countdown, formed by Alicia Boone. In Chapter 9 after Lisa was promoted to Executive Assistant by Ryan, Cassidy continues to berate her, thinking she still a secretary as her occupation only for the player humorously inform her that she was chosen after the other candidates including her cousin Lily and which is why she was ordered to cancel the interview much to her surprise and shock. Therefore after Alicia was finally arrested, Cassidy's secret is finally exposed by Colin, the player and Ryan Carter when she was used by Alicia and she was engaging a romantic affair with both Gabriel and Mark Leviels which leads Ryan to let his HR manager and the player to decide whether she gets fired or not. However, in season 3 of Ryan's route, it is revealed by Mark to the player that he and Cassidy never slept together and that they were only rumors. In the third and final season which is three years after both seasons, she remains annoyed upon seeing the children at the daycare center that Ryan had currently owned. In Chapter 2, she showed her wedding ring to her co-workers and she reveals that she is going to marry a rich influential man (possibly Giorgio Maccini) and tried to offer Colin her favorite to get a huge break in his music career with the help of her man but he rejected the proposal much to Cassidy's shock. In other Chapter she is really excited and further reveals information on her wedding proposal. She shows her vile side when she asked the player in Chapter 5 whether her child was of Gabriel's as her son had blonde hair that resembled Gabriel later she was lectured by the player on genetics. In Chapter 10, despite being abused by her now ex-husband, Cassidy is revealed to be born as a hunchback person and was constantly bullied during her childhood because of her deformation on her back. She is also unaware of her fiancé, Giorgio Maccini who is the mastermind behind the scenes by assassinating her boss Ryan who competes in the boat race which results in a explosion during the boat collision which results his survival and suffering dissociative amnesia due to his desire to run for politics and for poisoning the children in Havana and her brother Parker was aware of the latter's true motives. Also, she was used by Giorgio as a mole to observe the employees including Ryan in Carter Corp and why he secretly engaged her to marriage in the first place due to both her and her mother Mrs. Sparke's interest over rich men. And just like Jenny Blake, she was mistreated as an outcast by her parents as her father Luis Antonio prefers Parker over her which resulted her from getting bullied. This also cause a rift between Parker and Cassidy due to the latter displaying his cowardice by running away and taking vengeance over her brother's cowardice by rejecting him his application in Carter Corp as an adult. However, in the final chapter of the story which is the end of Ryan's story, Cassidy initially refused to listen to the player and Lisa's truth until she learns that Giorgio is cheating on her and became guilty and upset for what he had done. Cassidy also reveals all of Giorgio's motives by tarnishing Carter Corp when she had spoken to him after eavesdropping over Ryan and Mark's conversation where he decided to run for politics and was being used by him to know more of the company and setting his various crimes in motion. Cassidy was the one who put Giorgio behind bars for all the crimes he had currently done and for using her as a mole and for also impregnating her and not knowing of his infidelity, she gives Giorgio a powerful slap in the face and finally breaks her engagement with him.

In Daryl's story and like Samantha Gautier, Cassidy's mean streak became more prominent than last time even as she strictly orders the player to work indefinitely whenever they encounter each other. This also happens in Chapter 3 where she attempting to fire the player for her absences during the meeting with Mark and Gabriel, unaware that she was dealing her brother's problems because of Giorgio's debt only to be sorted out by Ryan when he contacts Mark about her problems. When Cassidy rants the player to use her power within her occupation, only to be stopped by Mark and angrily gives her a simple warning for her actions. Between Chapter 9 and Chapter 10, Cassidy finally abuses her authority by confiscating the player's phone abruptly only for the player to retrieve it back after working hours. She also tries to harass her by giving her an official warning regarding about her cellphone, especially when she talks to Gabriel about the same issue only for the player to humiliate her by turning off her cellphone and berates her for being too abusive, much to her fury.

In Colin's story shows Cassidy her violent outburst after her older brother Parker was killed from getting poisoned as she injures Matt by throwing her vase when he tried to calm her down. Although, Parker's death was due to severe allergic to nuts when he ate a cheesecake filled with nuts while trying to investigate Josh.

In her brother's mini-series, her rift with Parker was retained while he tries to shield his colleagues from her. During her visit in Havana, she reunites with her former fiance, Giorgio which opposes by her brother Parker and knowing she was used him again into meeting with their father, Luis.

Her behavior was later shared by other recurring female antagonists such as Jenny Blake, Lana Escobar, Doris, Fiona, Samantha Gautier, Lizabeth, Alicia Boone, Dorothy Rakoczy, Neema Walker, Asmodea, and Camilla Cresset and even a male antagonist Damian Krug.

* In French translations, Parker Snow was named as Parker Sparke (his real name), implying that he was the older brother to Cassidy Sparke.
