Cassidy Descoteaux

Cassidy is a Gemfighter. She is the leader of her own sect of Gemfighters, vainly named Cassie’s Gang. Her codename is Cassiopeia. Unlike the other Gemfighters, whose names were assigned to them, Cassie chose her own codename. The color of her armor is mauve purple. Her gemstone is labradorite. Her weapon is a cutlass. The sheath of her sword is the same color and pattern of her labradorite gemstone.

Appearance
Cassidy is of average height and stature. She has medium brown skin, on the darker side, with a golden undertone. She has short, black hair and nearly black eyes. She usually wears a self-satisfied smirk on her face. Her clothing style is bland, and leans more towards androgynous. Her favorite color is black.

Personality
Cassidy is a fierce, heavy person. She sees herself as the most important, and the one with the highest stakes. She treats herself like a queen, and demands that others treat her as such as well. Her overbearing personality is complemented with her group's genuine loyalty. To an outsider, they look like a hivemind together, but to Cassie, they are her family. Unlike Aaron, Cassie is highly logically-minded, and is able to calculate the best strategies for her team in seconds.

History
Cassie, like the others in her group, were directly threatened by the Goddess of the Dark to join her side.

Shame Arc
Cassie was introduced towards the end of the Shame Arc. She is seen sitting on the floor in her living room, above the bodies of her parents. The Goddess of the Dark manifests herself in Cassie's house, threatening her to join her side, claiming that there's nothing left for her except to join her.

Latoya
Latoya is Cassidy’s right-hand woman. Cassidy confides in Latoya often, and gives her many demands. The shoes that Cassidy puts out for Latoya are often too big to fill. Latoya often fails to meet Cassidy’s demands. Unlike the other members of the gang, Latoya recieves no punishment for failing to meet expectations. Cassidy has a soft spot for Latoya, and wishes to be better friends with her.

Angelina
Cassidy and Angelina often butt heads. Cassidy is jealous of Latoya’s relationship with her.

The Goddess of the Dark
Cassie does not have a good relationship with the Goddess of the Dark. Cassie works under her under the threat of death, and has little to no choice but to keep doing her bidding.

Aaron
Cassie and Aaron started butting heads the day they met. They show two sides of the same coin; a leadership style that takes into account the individual strengths and weaknesses of the group versus a leadership style that makes everyone equal in every aspect. Cassie thinks Aaron is pathetic, and tries to prove it by crushing the Gemfighters. Aaron is mostly surprised to even learn that there's more than just twelve Gemfighters in the world.
