And the boys on hooks

But she'll trade it all

For a heart that's whole. "

Name:

Yonomori Cassandra (ヨノモリ カサンドラ )

also known as…

The It Girl of Ujigami High

(Isobe’s personal nickname for Cassandra, in reference to the ‘Asian Baby Girl’ subculture)

Age: 16

Birthday: September 24 (Libra/♎ )

School: Ujigami High School

Residence: Kawagoe, Saitama Prefacture

Nationality: Japanese

Personality:

Cassandra is a very outgoing person. She's everything the girls in Ujigami envy: attractive, confident, good conversationalist, and popular. But above all, she is a girl with a "liberated" perspective and a broad knowledge regarding certain issues in the society. Despite her popularity, she's easy to approach which results for her in having plenty of friends (though she's grown closer to Nanami, Ami, and Kei). She also knows how to adjust herself from one person to another, similar to a chameleon. And because of her confidence, she unknowingly influences other people as well (such as using certain teenage jargons that are not commonly used in Japan, fashion, and even interests). Unfortunately, an irony with her influential character is the very fact that she finds it difficult to make decisions for herself. Despite being seen as all sunshine, rainbows, and a dash of bad bitch by many people, she's not as perfect as she seems, having plenty of flaws that only Nanami knows. She is indecisive and hard to please, finding it hard to find contentment with her partners. Added by that, there is the existing fear of commitment that always stops her from truly loving her romantic partners in the past and a history of an extremely toxic first love.

But despite this, she makes up for it with her heart that rarely holds grudges and her very accepting nature. She is open-minded. When one gets past the barrier of a high-maintenance and vain school girl, they will be able to find Cassandra Yonomori with a heart that is quite too big for her body (a trait she has in common with Nanami).

Hamartia/Fatal Flaw? Fear of Commitment.

Character Description:

Yonomori Cassandra is one of the most popular girls in Ujigami High School. An ex-runway model at the age of 16 and the literal incarnation of an ABG (Asian Baby Girl), she weaves her way through high school life and the Ayakashi world with her LA crassway wits, blind luck, and humanly charms. And because of her well-known nickname in school—Goddess Yonomori—she unknowingly attracts the attention of a certain ex-shinshi who became curious of the identity of the one who holds his former goddess’ name. But her journey to the world of divine doesn’t stop there; she uncovers a series of truths:

Her best friend, Kurama, a famous idol, is actually a yokai—a tengu, to be specific.

Her childhood friend, Nanami, and her only female confidant becomes the new tochigami/landgod of Mikage Shrine.

There is a mystery regarding their family’s lineage and the lack of females in their bloodline.

But perhaps the biggest downfall was when she met the said ex-shinsi, Mizuki.

He is exactly the curse and the remedy for her fatal flaw, the recipe for disaster inside her heart.

Brief Life Summary:

Born in Kawagoe, Saitama Prefacture, Yonomori Cassandra is the only daughter to Yonomori Shiro and Yonomori Kiara. Her father is known to be Japan’s “next” national artist, being extremely talented in all forms of art and because of this, he has influenced her greatly when it comes to the arts. Even after years of spending time with her father, he somehow remains as one of the biggest mysteries of Cassandra’s life due to his peculiar nature. As for her mother, unfortunately, she died after giving birth to her—but there is a rumored story behind it.

A long recurring legend in their family speaks that the Yonomori bloodline is said to be descended from a fallen celestial nymph and a human boy who was wedded by a water goddess 500 years ago. But due to unfortunate circumstances, the humans in their village condemned the fallen nymph as a witch/yokai (coinciding with the rumors of an ogre and a fox demon ravaging towns and villages) and threw her upon the lake, sacrificing her to the monster residing beneath it. The sky maidens who were relatives of the runaway nymph were utterly displeased of their sisters’ fate. They blamed the human boy for his incapacity to protect his wife.

For days, the skies mourned. The sky would rain for days and weeks to count, even endangering the villages nearby because of possibly flooding them. The maidens cursed the human boy and his wife’s child that for every generation, they are bound to lose their spouses to the hands of death. They will not be blessed with a single female in the bloodline, a manifestation of the maidens’ disgust that the man was unable to take care of a woman. Greatly disturbed, the human boy asked help from the same goddess who blessed their wedding.

The generous goddess pitied him and eventually reached out a hand by making amendments with the celestial nymphs. Another reason is because she wanted to solve the flooding problem of the villages and wanted to help the humans. After the endless downpour, the skies cleared. As a way of the goddess’ attempt to counter the curse of the boy’s lineage, she foretold the birth of a female child after five generations who will eventually lift the curse. She will be intertwining their fate with hers through the bond of marriage, the goddess’ prized egg of a white snake as the said female’s future spouse.

To seal the divine promise, a sunshower occurred, blessing the village with abundant harvest and good health. And because of that, as a sign of honor and respect to the water goddess, they incorporated her name as a part of their identity—thus, Yonomori.

Least to say, the only female in the Yonomori bloodline became scared, aka Cassandra. This is one of the reasons as to why she feared commitment, scared that her future husband, whoever that may be, would eventually disappear. Though it is only a rumor within their family, the high expectations of her eccentric father greatly pressured her that she will "break the curse." It has pushed her to the point that it began to affect her future life choices, making her the exact opposite of her father who was highly superstitious (although she couldn’t completely cancel out any divinity in her life because of her ability to witness supernatural beings and events). Similar to Nanami, she believes she is unlucky with men and growing up, she swore along with Nanami that the two of them would never get married. They can only envision themselves living together in one home in the future, the two of them finding contentment in supporting each other as sisters (but obviously, this will not happen due to the mysterious turn of events within their lives).

Cassandra would always attempt to escape reality by pouring her energy towards performing on stage and leaving the comforts of her home. She also got into modelling due to her attractive physical attributes and her genuine interest towards fashion.

She would go places, eventually straying down the youthful embrace of night life due to certain influences, hardcore partying, and vices. But her best friend since childhood, Nanami, would always remind her of her priorities, which is why she is able to bounce back after exhausting nights. Being an only child, Nanami is like a sister to Cassandra. Knowing about her childhood best friend’s rundown life, she would always try and cheer her up by giving her gifts, taking her places, and pampering her by letting her sleepover at their spacious home. Every birthday celebration, they would always go shopping or dine somewhere. Because of that, Nanami is extremely grateful for Cassandra.

At 15, Cassandra eventually departed Japan to temporarily move to Hawaii due to modelling duties. For a whole year, she ventured the States as a runway model, even making a few appearances on magazines. By chance of fate, she met Kurama Shinjirou (they met during the after party of an awarding ceremony where celebrities, models, and artists were invited) who was on a world tour and became acquainted with him, soon becoming his best friend. After all the glamour, Cassandra decided to move back home to Japan alone, missing the familiarity of her mother country and deciding to take a break from modelling to give herself a chance to finally explore her dream in musical theater.

Upon arriving back, she enrolled herself in Ujigami High School as Kurama’s classmate. She was able to easily rekindle her bond with Nanami. But above all that, she immediately gained popularity because of her looks, ex-runway model status, and her special connection with Kurama. Now, she walks the school halls and paints the town red with her flamboyance and charm.

Interests & Hobbies:

Good and Bad Habits/Things she does on a frequent basis/Additional Information:

Name Origin:

[Actually, there is a history behind the name, 'Cassandra'. Her father specifically chose the name for her in reference to the Greek mythology character who was blessed with the gift of prophecy but cursed by the god Apollo, thus the origin for the famous saying, 'Cassandra's Curse'. But instead of falling into the pits of despair, her father believes that she will be the 'blessing' in their bloodline to save them from the 'curse'. But unknown to his knowledge, the name Caassandra holds the same connotation of being gifted with both a blessing and a curse, especially as Cassandra grows up. It goes both ways; in order to lift the curse, she'll have to compromise her fate to a rumored 'future spouse' who she actually feared of meeting. But obviously, she'll change her mind. ;) ]

Final Notes: Cassandra Yonomori is an OC for the Kamisama Kiss fanfiction I’m about to write. She will be the main protagonist of ‘The April Shower’s Promise’, a Mizuki x OC story. It will be a mix of the manga and the anime, which then interconnects with other characters exclusive only in the manga such as Kayako and Unari.

This OC came to life after I rewatched and reread Kamisama Kiss! ;^: I was so nostalgic that my mind just began to work on its own then boom. Cassandra existed. I thought about how our smol snek boii needed some love so I'm dedicating this character for him so at least in my story, he'll be able to find the love he's yearning for~ I also find it cool how this character is "born" a few days before Christmas >u< so it's like a gift and my personal tribute to one of the greatest romance animes I have seen.
