History[[edit] | [edit source]]
She grew up on Callous but left when her father paid for her to go to University. She studied painting but switched over to Mining Engineering when her father's case at Callous became worse.
She was in charge of mining swenyo from the Callous mines when her father committed suicide. She had Martine smuggle Ood onto Callous to aid her in her mining. She became attached to the Ood and gave them pet names. However when one of her owned Ood was shot, she was more upset at how expensive the Ood were rather than it's life. When Jaques killed himself and the colonists of Callous began lynching her Ood, Cassie became increasingly depressed. She eventually answered the phone from an Ood. On the phone, the War Master offered her help. (AUDIO: Call for the Dead [+]Loading...["Call for the Dead (audio story)","Call for the Dead"])
Martine started to get worried about her as she was getting obsessed with the mine. She was worried about the Oods welfare, and discussed that with the Master. After seeing a more pure seam of, she warned the fellow colonists about the coming of Teremon who wanted to forceably take the mine. She reluctantly agreed to the Master's plan to hide the swenyo.

Martine heard her voice often when isolated on a relay station alone with the swenyo, this included a radio call before Martine's suicide. (AUDIO: The Persistence of Dreams [+]Loading...["The Persistence of Dreams (audio story)","The Persistence of Dreams"])
She wanted to fight back against Teremon and her regime. She continually denied to Teremon about the location of the Swenyo. She asked the Ood if they would fight on her behalf. She didn't know if Martine was alive or dead. She became more and more deranged and distraught about the situation, eventually taking out on her belongings in her house. She heard a voice of her father caused by the Swenyo. She told the colonist that they shouldn't hide as they were going to die anyway. She collapsed after this. She eventually persuaded them to fight after the Ood started attacking them. She was killed by the Ood on orders of the Master when he stole the swenyo and abandoned the people of Callous.
