Physical Appearance

With long, straight, dyed black hair and green eyes, Cassandra stands at a reasonably statuesque 5'9" tall; she has a slim and a, for wont of a better word, "perky" physique, built more for speed than comfort, and is for the most part an athletic and physically fit individual
Generally accentuating her looks with dark makeup when she's actually able to locate any on the three million year old 'Dwarf, Cass scrubs up well enough when the occasion demands it, although on a day to day basis her style could probably best be described as an uneasy truce between utilitarian and casual

Personality and Interests

Ferociously intelligent, insular, capricious and darkly sardonic, Cassandra takes not suffering fools to an almost entirely new level, with the result that her dealings with the rest of the Blue Dwarf’s crew have at times been turbulent; but scratch the surface of her brittle personality and beneath all the venom and spite you’ll find the stone cold heart of an almost entirely self-serving harpy
This is not to say that Cassandra isn’t without redeeming features and can’t be interesting, engaging company when she wants to be - Indeed, at times she can be dryly witty and even a little self-deprecating; a trait she personally dislikes in herself, viewing it as one of the last vestiges of the myriad insecurities and neuroses she used to suffer from before she mercilessly edited them out of her personality with some kit she jury rigged together after she broke into the science labs one evening
Finally, from the little she’s wont to give away about herself, it is apparent that Cassandra is an exceptionally intelligent woman with a deep knowledge of a range of sciences; although given that her previous demonstrations of her skills and knowledge seem to have revolved around advanced robotics, nanotechnology and computer science, it would probably be fair to say that these are where her core competencies lie

History

When asked about her past, Cassandra is generally evasive, usually changing the topic of conversation to converse on a range of other subjects, ranging from the deeply intellectual to the numbingly banal; clearly she isn't so willing to speak of her past
That said: From the tittle-tattle, rumour and conjecture surrounding her, it would appear that she pitched up as damaged goods on the ‘Dwarf a few billion years ago, and as a stowaway with no visible means of support, began an inexorable self-destructive spiral ever downward through the various civilian social strata, until she eventually hit rock bottom, finally having to resort to working in a sleazy strip club in the red light district as an “exotic” dancer in order to make ends meet
After distinguishing herself by rebuilding Holly out of a bunch of spare components and a chrome pop-up toaster when Efof accidentally jettisoned the old one out into space, Cassandra largely dropped off the radar, surfacing only briefly as an involuntary but highly instrumental part of an unsuccessful coup staged by an underworld boss, before finally emerging as Queen Brittany’s advisor after the sovereign had apparently been killed by the Molopods on Little Cheftonia
How it was that she came to be associated with Queen Brittany was never adequately explained, but as it turned out that this Brittany was actually an imposter, conjecture is rife – perhaps as some suggest, “Brittany” was actually a JMC agent and Cassandra was her lover, or perhaps as some of the more ludicrously fanciful rumours would have it: Cassandra is actually a backup copy of the original Cassandra - a woman who’s ambition and lust for power was so extreme that she converted herself into Brittany’s identical facsimile with industrial grade nanotechnology
Whatever the truth of the matter, when the real Brittany finally turned up and was combined with the imposter using advanced Molopodian technology, Cassandra briefly found herself in the unenviable position of being deprived of her former position of influence; fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on your viewpoint), this invidious situation lasted only a few hours before the ‘Dwarf was flung across the galaxy and flooded with Cadmium II radiation, forcing Cassandra and the rest of the crew into emergency stasis

Having emerged from stasis some three billion years later, Cassandra now finds herself in the uncomfortable situation of having to radically alter her outlook; the rest of the crew may well be a collection of vacuous imbeciles, but right now they are helping her stay alive
She’s going to have to play nice and make friends fast
