**Cancer** (known by her human alter ego as **Cassidy**) is one of the main characters in Zodiac Starz. She is a member of the Solar System Starlliance that rules Earth's only natural satellite, the Moon and also watches over the said green and blue planet.

## Description

*The EMPATH.* *Like the high tides, the emotions of Cancer ebb and flow like that of a waning moon. Perhaps the most emotionally-driven and reserved alien of the galaxy, she is sure a sensitive one! While her mood swings can be unpredictable at times, Cancer happens to be the most empathetic of all her friends. With her emotions as the foundation of exquisite lullabies, this star vocalist will always be there to lend everyone her listening ear!*

## Appearance

Cancer has silver eyes with dark grey shading on lower eyelids, white skin, and long, wavy light grey hair topped by a silver tiara with a white crescent moon and red crab antennae. She wears a white one-shoulder dress with a short, light red scalloped sleeve and a silver-grey upside-down crescent above the pointed hem. She also wears short grey gloves with crab claw cuffs, and white boots with grey edging on the top and red on the toes. Her accessories include a grey beaded necklace with a white crescent moon pendant and a pair of crab claw earrings.

Cancer's object is a small white and red bell microphone.

## Skills and abilities

Cancer represents the element of Water and the zodiac sign of the Crab. She is a tall white starling at 2.19 metres/7.2 feet (without heels) who can manipulate emotions as well as being highly sympathetic towards feelings of pain and grief.

## Trivia

* Of the entire zodiac, Cancer and Leo are two of the most powerful starlings in terms of their magic since they're ruled by the Sun and Moon.
* Cancer would be the type of kid to hide behind their parent's back or tuck on their clothes when meeting someone new, when she was really young.
* Cancer is extremely talented in singing with the vocal range of a soprano. It's just that her shyness stands in her way of being on stage, though she's alright with performing in front of Queen Selene privately.
