Cassandra was born to Hilda Schofield in Royal Bolton Hospital on 7 April 1981. (AUDIO: Project: Destiny) Her father left home sometime during her childhood. (PROSE: Project: Valhalla)
She gave birth to her son in the Royal Bolton on 12 October 1998. She ran away from her life to live and was reported missing on 23 August 2001.

Hex was raised by his father and maternal grandmother, whom he believed to be his mother until he was six.

She died once again when London was decimated by a destronic bomb. (AUDIO: Project: Destiny)
