Princess Cassandra Freyja
The newest princess of Lunaria and daughter of Freyja family. Cassandra is a young woman with a love for her citizens and a lust for adventure. Wanting to satisfy both of these callings, she suddenly decided to become a knight so she could both help others and see the great outdoors. It was an action that of course worried her citizens, but considering the fact she was the daughter of a Freyja, they didn't really have a reason to worry. Brave, altruistic and stoic, but rather sincere off duty, Cassandra patrols the kingdom of Lunaria to keep everyone safe herself.
Is often found alone at night, praying to her gods.
Physical Description
Very tall, fit, and well built in the muscle department. She's gotta be able to wear that heavy armor somehow.
White skin, long hair that becomes mildly curly at the ends.
Sharp, but at the same time soft and gentle eyes.
Always holds a strong, confident posture that wordlessly shows off her authority to citizens.
Cassandra is basically a paladin, specializing in defensive magic along with the power of holy light. While this allows her to be extremely resilient, she can still die from too much abuse despite her shields and auras. Her use of selenite as a storage allows her to keep her weapons in a limited hyperspace arsenal and switch her armor types from light to heavy.
Aside from barriers, her specialty lies in holy magic. Examples of what she can do include wreathing her blade in holy light, blasting heavenly beams, etc.
Often found wearing a necklace with a small selenite crystal. She can break apart the crystal and levitate the shards, then merge them back into the same form it once was.
Wears all types of armor, but prefers to go into battle with the heavy plate variety. Keeps a small arsenal of armor changes and weapons in a storage crystal. Among her list of weapons include
Heaven's Gate,
Martyr's Lament,
a Cydonian Halberd, and
Vindiction. She also carries a buckler and a tower shield (that is really the size of a modern day riot shield).
Mental characteristics
Was home schooled by the kingdom's royal scholars and trained to be a knight in Cydonia.
Officially became a royal knight at age 19 after receiving training in Cydonia.
Show spoiler
Was hexed into killing her own mother by the Atlantean Zealots, which directly lead to the Lunar Silence.

Being the unwitting catalyst for the end of the world isn't exactly doing her psyche any favors...
Cassandra's altruistic nature toward other people causes her to ensure that she solves all of their problems. To her, even a few kind actions can help keep the peace of a safe city.
She is mostly unwilling to kill and would rather give most criminals a second chance or send them to prison alive. That being said, she will not hesitate to resort to such methods against invading enemy soldiers or other vile evildoers (such as willing murderers) that threaten the peace of her country.
Personality Characteristics
Guards Lunaria as a knight to make sure her home country and anyone she comes across is safe under her protection.
Trained in the use of a variety of weapons, skilled at both map making and reading, cannot swing a flail gracefully without leaving herself open.
Likes: Helping others, swordplay, reading, radio dramas, well crafted suits of armor, the piano
Dislikes: People who choose to delve into crime, political negotiation meetings, arranged marriages, flails
Genuine, thoughtful, honest, selfless, and always ready to help those in need. A true hero in the eyes of her people.
Gains a stubborn sense of determination once others are involved, placing her life in danger no matter the circumstances as long as everyone else is safe. In addition, despite her "virtuous knight of justice" demeanor, she still holds grudges on things she has personally failed to stop.
Tends to play/fidget with the crystal on her necklace when she's alone with something weighing on her mind.
Possibly due to her royal upbringing, she is very keen on personal hygiene. Her bedroom tends to lack organization outside her maps, though.
Social
Cassandra is a member of the historically rich Freyja family, and as such is the daughter of Queen Victoria, current ruler of Lunaria.
A devout follower of Lunarism, she prays to her gods at least once a night, especially the goddess of mercy, Deirdre.
Portrays a stoic, yet confident attitude toward others while on duty. Generally very calm under pressure as a result, but is very sincere towards close friends when she's not working.
Often spends her free time reading, practicing the piano, or listening to her night time radio dramas.
Often speaks in a mildly formal tone befitting of her heritage. Tends to sound more strict while on duty.
History
Cassandra first met Morgan after they tried to disguise themselves as a Sunstone Emperor to steal her crystal necklace. After one too many mistakes in trying to convince her, Cassandra found the wire in their act and punished them with a magic glyph (that she ironically purchased from Morgan hours earlier), allowing her to track them regardless of where they are. With all of their secrets, crimes, and even location at her fingertips, Morgan is forced to work with Cassandra as an informant or spy for anything she requests.
Relationship Reasoning
Although they will never admit it, or even acknowledge it to themselves, Morgan has a sense of duty to the crown. Despite the fact their actual connection to Lunaria is faint at best, they refuse to retaliate against Cassandra's blackmail anyway.
Deep down, Morgan feels useless in the grand scheme of the world. Coin can only bring so much satisfaction, after all. While their mission seems greedy, they just want to be useful to everyone somehow. Cassandra needs a versatile sense of utility, and that grants Morgan the opportunity to do so.
Shared Secrets
Cassandra holds the records of every crime and possible identity Morgan has used, allowing her to blackmail them into helping with whatever she requires.
Relationship Reasoning
Kaiyo thinks rather highly of Cassandra and can always rely on her for help, a feeling Cassandra shares.
Friend (Important)
Towards Natalie Emberlight
Relationship Reasoning
Natalie and Cassandra get along swimmingly, often recommending radio dramas to each other. Cassandra's piano skills inspired the former to attempt playing an instrument too, but she isn't all too sure what she wants to try first.
Being the princess of Lunaria, Cassandra is extremely wealthy, which allows her to buy or commission pretty much anything she wants, including her armor and personalized weapons.
