**Cassandra Sika** (シカ・カサンドラ *Sika Cassandra)* is a student of Hope's Peak Academy: United Kingdom and a participant of the British Killing Game of Danganronpa: Shattered Skies. Her title is Ultimate Ultimate Jeweler (スーパー高校レベルの宝石商 lit. *Super High School Level Jeweler).*

## History

### Early Life

Not much is known about Cassie's past. When she was young, her mother was killed by mysterious circumstances that were not revealed to the public. Cassie's father decided to move in with his *own* father, bringing Cassie with him to the Canadian city of Montreal. For the rest of her childhood, Cassie grew up with her father and grandfather. However, life at home was far from pleasant -- unable to cope with the loss of his wife, Cassie's father tended to take his rage out on his daughter, whether verbally or physically. Cassie's grandfather tended to step in, but he wasn't always there.

However, Cassie's grandfather was a retired jeweler, and upon noticing Cassie's interest in his past works, he offered to teach her. As the days passed, Cassie made more and more pieces of jewelry. These pieces were magnificent and quite advanced, especially considering that she had only just learned the basics and was working unsupervised.

### The British Killing Game

Cassie moved to Britain solely to attend Hope's Peak Academy. During the killing game, she provides a sort of rivalry with Anita Konishi, tending to confuse the protagonist during class trials and lying for no apparent reason.

Cassie's direct involvement and fate within the British Killing Game has not been decided.

## Creation and Development

### Character Development

Cassie was first created on roughly August 19, 2021, under the name of Kami Kamikara, and was already the Ultimate Jeweler. However, her given name was changed to Cassie on that same day. On August 21, 2021, her surname was changed to Sika.

### Name

*Cassandra* means "shine upon mankind" and is of Greek origin. *Sika* means "money; gold" and is of African origin.

## Appearance

Cassie has fluffy, dark blue hair styled into a messy bob. Her eyes are a color of bluish-purple, and she has very fair skin.

Her usual attire is a white button-up shirt with a dark purple bow with a dark grey blazer. Her skirt is purple-grey, and her boots are the same color, along with black laces, dark grey accents, and purple lining. She wears an amethyst hairpin, and also embedded an amethyst into her bow. She also wears a pin from her former high school on her blazer.

## Personality

Cassie believes that she is in possession of otherworldly abilities, such as communicating with the dead and killing others by merely looking at them. While these claims are not the case, Cassie consistently insists on their truth, even going so far to threaten others with her self-proclaimed powers. Unfortunately, these claims make it particularly difficult to get information out of her, because she often prioritizes insisting about her abilities over an actual case at hand. However, her belief of having these powers may actually be a coping mechanism sourced from her father's abuse, the death of her mother, or the British Killing Game as a whole.

When not provoked by suspicion concerning her "powers", Cassie has shown herself to be quite studious and caring. She likes to read fictional books and play chess.

## Talents and Abilities

Cassie is the Ultimate Jeweler, and is very talented with exercising care and perfect precision when it comes to faceting jewels and embedding stones. This talent isn't limited to only jewelry, however -- she possesses magnificent control over her hands, and has an eye to notice the smallest imperfections.

## Relationships

### Anita Konishi

Despite their rivalry, Cassie appears to like Anita. While she typically argues against Anita's theories, Cassie enjoys the "thrill of argument". Anita, on the other hand, views Cassie as a nuisance at worst, and tends to ignore her.
