"What brings you here, child of man?"
Artist
The forest of illusions is but an urban legend - it is said that a fearsome forest hag will come to snatch you up and kill you.
The reality is much different. Cassandra (as humans call her) is the creator of the Forest, where no humans shall tread. She is the god of magic, and humans have been abducting the "Uclians", as named by humans, spirit-like creatures that harbor magic.
For many years, they had been exploited and tortured for the sake of powering human technology, and Cassandra decided that enough was enough. She had to do it the hard way.
The illusory forest holds the habitat of the creatures of magic, and she has taken it upon herself to return them to their own world, no matter the method.
- The human form she is depicted as is but a humanoid shell.
- She rehabilitates the creatures in the Forest using her own magic and healing.
- She has an inherent disdain for humans, but does not outright hurt them unless they get in the way of her operations.
Stoic would be one way to describe Cassandra - she is rather emotionless from a human perspective, and most of that has to do with the fact that she has no reason or desire to learn of any human "customs" of how one should behave.
She is remarkably calm at all times, knowing that she has had to bury many things in order to save the magic in the world. It is all she appears to care about.
There is an element of curiosity in her, and Flavia serves to really bring that into overdrive, particularly with her strange situation. If it regards magic, you can count on Cassandra's interest.

The only human to have ever made their way inside the Forest of Illusions without being invited in; frankly, Cassandra is fascinated by her.
Part of her also feels a deep anger for the cruelty that Flav's existence proves - that humans are willing to torture even their own in the pursuit of power.
Flavia ends up staying in the forest with Cassandra, and the two of them form a connection.
- Cassandra generally "looks" kind of human until you notice a few things: one is her bright eyes, another are her horns that look like dead twigs, and lastly is her arm, looking like an old tree trunk. It emanates with a strange, dark aura.
- Cassandra is dressed rather fancily; she wears a big green cape with a black fur trim at the top and bottom, a fancy, tight top with flowing sleeves, tight pants with hip cutouts, and thigh-high boots. She is adorned with many accessories, including a jade bracelet along others, a belt with a golden rope around it, twigs and leaves, feathers and gems.
- Her long hair is a two-toned green, going from light to a sort of sickly bright green. It's done into a messy braid.
