[edit] Biography
Cassie is the most compassionate member of the Animorphs, Rachel's best friend, and Jake's unofficial girlfriend. She is very kind and empathetic, often acting as the mediator of the group. Her perceptive and caring nature allows her to sense people's inner feelings and insecurities, leading her to act as team therapist at times.
Cassie's family owns a farm that has been in the family since the civil war, and has been remodeled into a sort of animal hospital for livestock and wild animals. The Animorphs generally use the clinic as their team "base" and form most of their plans there. Cassie's mother also works at The Gardens, a combination of a zoo and an amusement park where the Animorphs live. Most of the groups' morphs are aquired from The Gardens or the clinic.
Cassie has the reputation of being a "tree-hugger," with her love for animals and lack of style. Her nature-loving personality isn't at all shallow, though; Cassie has numerous moral struggles and questions about evolution, sentience in animals, the so-called "circle of life," and the morality of the Animorphs' fighting in the war at all. Though Cassie is willing to help fight the war when necessary, she desperately seeks a better way to win the war throughout the series. In #19 - The Departure, Cassie decides to quit the team, as far as physical violence and using her morphing ability. She meets Karen, a Yeerk in the body of a five-year-old girl, and makes a deal to become a nothlit in a caterpillar's body when Aftran 942 agreed to leave the girl's body and never infest anyone again. Cassie escaped the morph when the caterpillar transformed into a butterfly, but Aftran kept her promise.
Though she is openly against most violence, Cassie was responsible for forming the plan to trap David and other victories on the Animorphs' side. True to her dream to find another way to win the war, though, it was Cassie who allowed the Yeerks to get the Andalite morphing cube, showing the Yeerks that there was another way to see, hear, eat, and the other senses they were denied in their true forms than through infestation.
Out of all the members the Ellimist planned to become an Animorph, Cassie had the most importance. She is, genetically or otherwise, more talented at morphing than the others, and she has the unconscious ability to unravel any alternate or parallel universes and timelines.
[edit] Trivia
- It is noted by Ax that Cassie could easily become a professional estreen, one who morphs as a form of art, due to her inherant skills.
- Her family is the first to leave when the Animorphs leave to hide in the Hork-bajir valley.
