Cassandra Dimitrescu was one of three 'sisters' that lived in Castle Dimitrescu; the three sisters along with Countess
Alcina Dimitrescu were all products of the Mold-based hybrid organism known as the
Cadou. She can be identified as Bela from her dark hair.
She was created out of the
Cadou by
Mother Miranda sometime around the 1950's and then offered to
Alcina Dimitrescu as her daughter, alongside two other 'sisters' where they all inhabited Castle Dimitrescu. The three participated in gruesome cannibalism and vampirism. Although her form appears human, her body (and her two other sisters for that matter) are a pure
Cadou construct which is based up of thousands of flying insects of various pigmentations. The fact that Cassandra and her sisters share a similar form is because the
Cadou 'learned' which form to take by consuming captured women from the dungeons of the castle. Out of the three sisters, Cassandra was 'born' second and was the most sadistic of all. For example, she took great joy in torturing her victims and often quipped dark humour when encountering
Ethan Winters.
She was constantly surrounded by what looked like attack flies or moths which also crawled over her body; it's highly likely that these creatures were what made up her form, quite similar to
Mimicry Marcus. She could also break her body down completely which gave the impression that she could vanish or teleport. This ability also allowed her to pass through solid objects and also ambush her victims; appearing in front of their eyes.
Cassandra carried no weapons like her sisters and preferred to use
Brute strength and her bite to subdue her victims.
After Ethan starts to take the sisters down one by one, Cassandra is called to the main hall of Castle Dimitrescu by Alcina with instructions to kill him on sight.
Unfortunately for her, she had an innate weakness to the cold air and daylight; she was indestructible and invincible when she was protected by the walls of Castle Dimitrescu - but as soon as they are taken away she was comparably weak and in death she crystallised and shattered. The remains of her crystallised form was somewhat valuable to the mysterious merchant known as
The Duke.
She was defeated when Ethan blew a hole in a section of the castle, causing the outside air to come in and cause her body to weaken. In her death throes, she appeared to be surprised that her body was now vulnerable. After she was killed, Alcina continued to call on her but was now getting no response.
Some unfortunate trivia: the English voice actor for Cassandra (and a few other smaller characters) sadly died of cancer at the age of 39, which was four months before the release of Village, and only a few days after the Maiden demo in which Cassandra is the only sister to appear.
