Cassandra Aoi

Cassandra Aoi is a Legendary Pandora, one of the five Sisters of Lab 13. She is Maria Lancelot and Gengo Aoi's daughter, aunt of Kazuha and Kazuya Aoi, and the mother of Arcadia Aoi.Cassandra is not a normal human being but an artificially cultured individual who was reproduced from Maria Lancelot's genes. She possesses a Stigmata body that exists with 80% Stigma tissue, but because her body couldn't withstand the power of the Stigma, she was put into suspended animation until the problem was solved. Cassandra was briefly awakened in 2049, where she met and bonded with her brother Ryuuichi and niece Kazuha. During her time living with Ryuuichi, his wife Orie became pregnant with Cassandra's nephew, Kazuya. Orie would eventually experience complications due to Kazuya's stigma body, forcing Gengo to have Kazuya transferred to Cassandra in order to save him and his mother. Cassandra would become a surrogate and give birth to Kazuya, bonding with him as though he were her son. Cassandra would raise and take care of her nephew Kazuya until he was two years old. Cassandra was then placed back into stasis until she was reawakened by Su-Na Lee during the 12th Nova Clash along with two of her sisters to join the battle.Cassandra has very long blonde hair, gold coloured eyes, and a very buxom figure. Before the experiments, she wore a simple dark blue sleeveless top, a long white skirt, and kept her hair loose. When she awakens from her long slumber, her hair is pulled back by a black barrette, and she has inhuman yellow eyes, with orange pupils. She also has a green Stigmata protruding from her collarbone. Cassandra also dons an elegant and low-cut white and lavender dress, with cross patterns around the hem of her raiment.Cassandra is usually a very quiet person, much like her sisters Teslad and Lucy Renault, and rarely talks or changes her expression, with the exception of when she is around members of her family such as Gengo or Kazuya. Despite this, she is a loving woman who adores children, as shown by her switching from her stern and silent demeanor to a loving and gentle persona when she is reminded of children. Her gentleness is shown through her raising her nephew, Kazuya, and displaying a strong maternal demeanor, including singing to the infant Kazuya to lull him to sleep. She's very affectionate and protective of her nephew, and glares ill-intently at anyone who she deems a threat to him, be it other Pandora who are attempting to get close him, or enemies attempting to attack him. Incurring her anger by attacking Kazuya is shown to be a poor decision, as her retaliation towards the Busters when they did so destroyed the central portion of a building. Tying into her maternal instincts, Cassandra despises mothers who don't love their children (i.e. Kazuya's mother). And she is shown interacting in a fairly normal, albeit silent, way with her sisters and her niece Kazuha. This shows that in spite of her quiet nature, she is tolerant of her relative's quirks and eccentricities. Cassandra has shown anger and pain when reminded of her sister-in-law, Orie, and her brother Ryuuichi. Despite their later cold behavior, she didn't show open hostility to Orie or Ryuuchi until the former attempted to snatch Kazuya away from Cassandra. This contention between the two women seems to have grown into a lingering resentment of Orie on Cassandra's part. When reminded of Orie's attempts to take Kazuya away, and Ryuuichi's abuse of and attack on Cassandra, she lashed out violently. This revealed some lingering trauma due to the poor and later, violent treatment Cassandra received at their hands.
