Cassandra McBrisk

**Cassandra** is a recurring character in seasons one and two of *The Crumpets* and one of the main characters in seasons three and four (*Teen Crumpets*). She is voiced by Nicola Barber in English and Kelly Marot in French.

Cassandra is the teenage daughter of Ms. McBrisk and a neighbor of the Crumpets. She is a kind and well-mannered, if not devious girl who is quite rebellious to her mother, and is the best friend of Caprice. She has a romantic obsession with Caprice's older brother Pfff, whom she goes to great lengths at making him love her.

## Biography

Cassandra was given birth by Ms. McBrisk years before the events of the show. According to pictures in their house, she was likely raised with the strictness of her mother. Her father is nowhere to be seen, and it was implied he was divorced for an unforgiving reason.

As the sole child in a conservative household, she doesn't get as much fun as the Crumpet children have enjoyed and, according to one episode, has a bunch of extracurricular activities. She is drawn to activities her mother frowns on, like singing or dancing to loud music, being in love with the "slouch" Pfff, or hanging out with Caprice longer than the visit's given time limit. Despite her occasional immaturity, Cassie is sometimes more sane compared with her mother when the latter is deranged (such as her obsession with gnomes or falling to Granny's scam sales). Although Cassie can be polite, she has a tendency to get frustrated or impatient. It's not unusual for her to groan at her angry moments.

As Caprice's best friend, they enjoy visiting each others' bedrooms and chatting. Their communications are also performed through phone texting and calls. One topic of frequent discussion is the Gloser magazine and celebrities like the Weather Girl and Cradley Booper. As the wiser one of the two, Cassie sometimes gives advice to her friend. Unfortunately, the girls' friendship also fall to numerous conflicts, sometimes due to Caprice's self-centeredness.

Early in the series, she becomes excited with Caprice's discovery of a boy named Marylin. But as Caprice's concerns grow over his apparent lack of interest with her, Cassandra encourages her to move on. During one of their phone calls, it's revealed that Cassie is his girlfriend once she snips a class picture and leaves only the pair together. After Cordless delivers a pack of pictures to Caprice, Caprice discovers that Cassandra has been Marylin's girlfriend and starts fighting her. While they wrestle in mud, Cradley Booper's helicopter arrives and catches the attention of Ms. McBrisk and Caprice, who both run and bump each other and fainted. Cassandra throws her heart pendant to Caprice to let her succeed for Marylin as she climbs on the ladder attached to Cradley's helicopter.

Her romantic obsession for Pfff is a highlight across the series; the earliest episode featuring this recurring subplot was "Crum-Step". During seasons one and two, she may stalk, go close or touch him. As Pfff shows a stronger preference for the TV Weather Girl, Cassie tries to divert his attention from her or do nefarious things at her. There are episodes where she gets disguised as Pfff or the Weather Girl in order to keep Pfff to herself. She also has a picture of Pfff in her bedroom. It's revealed in "Gentlemanly Modified Organism" that she prefers Pfff in his ordinarily unintelligent and guitar-playing character, but not when he's manipulated (by Ma, and T-Bone by accident) into being very intelligent (which Ms. McBrisk favors).

Few episodes in seasons one and two deal with Cassandra joining or considering to join the Crumpets as a family member due to issues with her mother.

### Teen Crumpets

In *Teen Crumpets* (seasons three and four), Cassandra hangs out with her friends frequently to the point that her mother's constraints aren't a regular plot point anymore. Also, her mother appears less frequently. Cassie continues to romantically like Pfff but with less obsessiveness, and they interact more like friends and not like strangers. She's also open to loving other boys instead, such as Marylin and Reuh.

Along with Caprice, she is a fan of Pedro and Rodrigo Fennec, a pop duo that Marylin and Pfff hate.
