<p>Both of Cass's (pronounced the same as "case") parents are originally from Mexico. She's fluent in Spanish and used to visit Mexico every year with her family before going to college, but her accent is indistinguishably American. She's on scholarship but not particularly driven in any area, so she took a business major upon recommendation by a friend of her mother. <br></p>

<p>Her headstrong, sardonic attitude gives her a harsh edge that contrasts with the shower of feminine pastels and vibrant florals that dominate her wardrobe and bedroom. Her nightmares have always been just as vibrant, pushing violent imagery, psychotic villains, and natural disasters onto her nightly since she was a preteen. Many of them seemed real, taking place in her bedroom with realistic break-ins. She could feel needles, hornet stings, and worse the same as she could feel her fingertips pinching herself during the day. There were reoccurring figures whose faces and bodies she had grown so loathsomely familiar with, she mockingly named: Owen, Caleb, Isaac... <br></p>

<p>Before long, her apartment was a circus of haunts - incubi and things she had never heard of before. This attracts the attention of a full 500-pound baku (a spirit-eater that is visually indistinct from a regular tapir) and inspires him to take up permanent residence in her bedroom. Her landlord maintains a strict pet weight limit of around 10 pounds, so this stresses her out to no end, at least until he brings her the sweetest dreams she's had since she was in 5th grade. The haunts still rear their ugly heads now and then, but it's usually just her and Funwa, a cute but nosy baku. <br></p>
