Cassiopeia

Cassiopeia, a character from the Nightbound series, is a witch and necromancer. Although she is first seen in Chapter 3, her name is not revealed until Chapter 9 and you do not match her name with her face until Chapter 10.

Appearance
Cassiopeia has medium brown skin, brown eyes and wavy shoulder-length black hair. She wears a lace bronze-colored v-neck blouse (or dress), two silver necklaces (one with a crescent moon pendant and one with a leaf-branch pendant), and a silver crystal head-chain/headband. When you first meet her, you note she has wild hair and a tired look on her face.

Personality
As an outcast for her powers, Cassiopeia is lonely and emotionally wounded. She doesn't appear to understand why her ability is a travesty, as she feels the need to bring back dead people/animals.

Background
Ever since she was young, Cassiopeia had the ability to bring back dead animals, which scared her parents. When she grew older, she joined a coven of witches and took the Sacred Oath to not practice necromancy. However, when her coven-sister Jolie died, she felt it was her duty to bring her back because Jolie's life was taken abruptly. This upset the coven, and they brought her to The Fate for judgement. Because necromancy is considered a crime against nature itself and The Fate did not believe Cassiopeia could or would stop herself from doing it again, The Fate exiled her from the coven and from all of New Orleans.

Thomas
After she was exiled by The Fate and forced to live alone in a weathered cabin in the swamps, she found the body of a dead man, waterlogged and ruined, floating in the river. She pulled him out and used her powers to bring him back to life. She helped "heal" Thomas, helping him relearn to walk and move, and fell in love with him. He convinced her that he loved her too, and influenced her to create a bloodwraith to destroy the darkness that plagued their world. In Chapter 10, he reveals that he has no feelings for her other than contempt and disgust, that he could never love an abomination such as herself, and releases the bloodwraith to kill her.

Your Character
In Chapter 3, You literally bump into her when you visit Luc's souvenir shop with Nik. Unbeknownst to you, she was the one who conjured the bloodwraith that attacked you the day before. If you decide to have Luc read Tarot cards for you (premium scene), he tells you of the Magician, the Queen of Cups, and the Devil... two mighty women standing in your path. And a man, a bitter, hateful man. While one sails the seas of time, the other is wounded and very much in love. In Chapter 9, when you meet The Fate, she tells you that it was Cassiopeia who summoned the bloodwraith and zombies. While you deduce The Fate is the Magician, you figure out that Cassiopeia is the Queen of Cups. In Chapter 10, you and your friends arrive at her home in the swamps to confront her, learn her reasons and meet Thomas.
