When Spartacus would stop by she always enjoyed siting and doing nothing with him as well. She loved her new life among the Reachers. Only one family member got under her skin and became her enemy. Ethan Reacher hated Cassie's addition to his already lame family. He would make fun of Cassie's dyed blue hair and love of anime. This made Cassie very angry and she became aggressive towards Ethan. the two would constantly bicker and even get into physical altercations at times.
