You just haven't found the way to grasp it yet. When you do… believe me, you'll remember this conversation and feel very embarrassed about how naive and foolish you were.*  | ”

**Cassia** (or Cassie) is an important character in Shadow Slave. She had given up on her life and accepted death but she was saved by Nephis soon after she arrived in the Forgotten Shore. Since then, she has managed to survive, get stronger, and eventually return back to Earth.

## Appearance

* Debut
* Awakened
* Ascended

* Waking World
* Dream Realm

### Debut - Waking World

She was delicate, demure, and very pretty. With pale blond hair, big blue eyes, and an exquisite face. She looks like a beautiful porcelain doll.

### Debut - Dream Realm

The first time Sunny met Cassie in the Forgotten Shore, she was delicate and fragile, with blond hair and cerulean, aimless eyes. She was dressed in a simple tunic, with leather sandals on her feet and a cloak the color of sea waves draped around her shoulders.

When Sunny saw Cassie again after three months of separation. The blind girl seemed more mature. She looked older, somehow. It was as if there was an invisible weight pressing down on her, the kind that people usually accumulate with the flow of years. Her demeanor was calmer, more restrained, and almost cold.

* Dream Realm
* Second Nightmare

### Awakened - Waking World

A petite, exquisitely beautiful young woman who had delicate features, pale blond hair, and stunning blue eyes. Despite the fact that the young woman was dressed humbly, there was an aura about her that made it almost impossible to look away. It was as though she was a pristine heavenly creature that had somehow found her way to the dirty, imperfect mundane world. In her hand was a long white cane.

### Awakened - Dream Realm

She had long hair and wore a strange silver half-mask covering her eyes, its surface blind and intricately engraved. The mask matched the polished steel of the armor she was wearing on top of a midnight blue coat, comprised of a short cuirass, vambraces, greaves, and a segmented pauldron. Quiet Dancer hung on her belt and there was also a long dagger opposite it, its guard twisting upward. What changed most of all was her demeanor. The blind girl seemed much older, firmer, and poised, but also weary as if pressed down upon by the weight of years.

### Awakened - Second Nightmare

An elegant young woman dressed in an austere black garment. She was tall and slender, with pale skin and lustrous raven-black hair that moved gently in the wind. Her face possessed an almost otherworldly beauty to it, its lines full of solemn grace and splendor. Her eyes were covered by a simple strip of black cloth, the same color as the dress she wore.

The contrast between the austere black dress and the flawless white skin, between the softness of her captivating face and the severity of the crude blindfold, created a tantalizing, ominous, and slightly disturbing sight. There was a leather belt tied around her slender waist and on it hung a black scabbard. It was Quiet Dancer.

* Waking World

### Ascended - Waking World

Cassie had chosen a simple, but flattering gown of soft colors for the Valor clan ball. Her bracelets and jewelry were picked to match the silver half-mask that she wore like a crown. Draped around her shoulders was the familiar blue-green cloak. She was holding the Quiet Dancer by the scabbard as if it was a cane.

She's a quiet girl and cares for people around her. But she felt sorry for being useless that her mask of resolve slipped a little, revealing a desperate, angry, and frightened face beneath. According to Nephis, Cassie is strong. Burdened by knowledge thanks to her Aspect, she is quite mysterious.

Nephis mentioned that Cassie has changed a lot since the Forgotten Shore. She carries a lot of secrets. She has her own thoughts and ideas. She is equally as strong as the rest of them.

After Awakening, she closed herself off from the outside world and the Ascension made it more pronounced.

According to Sunny, Cassie's quiet and unassuming appearance made it easy to overlook her astounding mental prowess.

## Aspect, Abilities & Flaw

**True Name:** Song of the Fallen

**Aspect Rank:** Sacred

Show/Hide Aspect Abilities

 Awakening*(Awakened)* | 360470(Revealed) | Active
Her Second Aspect Ability allows her to sense what will happen in the next few seconds. When using her Awakened Ability past its limit, Cassie is capable of sensing a multitude of futures.

It was the reason she was able to see that Sunny was in a room with her despite him not having revealed his presence. It also let her walk around without a cane and knew what Sunny was going to say.

 Ascension*(Master)* | 748
She can see the perspectives of various people marked by her Ability. She was able to perceive the world from a different perspective. She could use someone or something else to substitute her senses. She could smell someone else's nose, feel someone else's touch, and see someone else's eyes.

While Cassie was still blind, she was able to look around and see what the recipient of the connection saw. As long as she had the mental capacity to withstand the flood of input, the connection could be established with multiple mediums at the same time. The medium did not have to agree to the connection, or even be aware of it. Although maintaining a connection with a willing recipient required far less essence.Her essence was in delicate equilibrium with various mediums, but she had to be mindful not to spend more than she could replenish passively, and indulge without a real reason.

Cassie's first Ability was also enhanced, allowing her to perceive Attributes and Aspect names and the Aspect Abilities of other Awakened.

### Battle Ability

This delicate girl wasn't the strongest or fastest of the Fire Keepers but fought with confident grace and deadly insight like a true master. Cassie's incredible advantage was due to her unique and powerful Aspect which only she could use. To perceive both the present and future, to comprehend two states of the battle, and swiftly act in response to achieve the result while being blind. No one could imagine the mental strain and burden she had, however, it was possible to perform such a feat with clarity. After all, she was also Nephis' pupil alongside Sunny.

## Background

When Cassie first appeared, she was sitting quietly on the bench, in the deserted corner of the Awakened Academy hall, where no one was willing to approach. She was surrounded by an invisible, but almost palpable aura of death due to her being blind. She became blind after she survived her First Nightmare which was judged to be a death sentence by the Academy. She was given last place in the rankings by the Academy. She still had her mom and dad who were worried for her.
