Personal history
Born the daughter of King Priam and Queen Hecuba of Ilion, Kassandra was a princess of a wealthy, thriving city with a strong military and commerce. She is one of many children, though most notably:
- Hector (her eldest brother)
- Helenus (her older twin brother)
- Medusa (her older sister)
- Paris (her youngest brother)
About a year ago, Kassandra fell in love with the god Apollo, and he gifted her with the attunement to the lore of the world, but even a god of prophecy could not foresee the effects prolonged exposure to his celestial being would have on a mere mortal. As a result, her body was warped, and her mind left vulnerable to the overwhelming nature of the cosmos. Her sanity flickers if she uses her gift too much, but she can rarely resist the temptation to reach out to her love.
After her change, about six months prior to joining the party, Kassandra was initially kept locked up in a fairly isolated tower of the palace, with various doctors/healers trying to help her get back to her old self. When it became apparent that their efforts weren’t working, Kassandra proposed an alternate solution to her father, Priam. She would go out into the world, without her title or anyone to know who she really is, to seek a cure on her own. Truthfully, Kassandra’s hope is that she can either master the cosmic energy through usage (not unlike exposure therapy in smaller doses), or reach Apollo herself so that she may take her place by his side. She left home about two months ago.

She loves him and knows what a good person he is, but she has also seen visions of him destroying Ilion with a beautiful woman by his side. Because of this, she also fears what Paris will become.
History
As twins, Helenus and Kassandra were completely inseparable growing up. They invented their own language as children, and were alwaays found together. It wasn't until they were entering their late teen years that the two began to branch into different areas of magical study: Helenus through literature and Kassandra through the divine. Helenus was heartbroken when Kassandra left home, but has been forced to pretend she doesn't exist by the rest of the family. He has been studying Divination magic more so that he can try to check in on Kassandra from afar.
A former princess of Ilion, daughter of Priam and Hecuba. She has been gifted with prophesy and the lore of the world, but also cursed by the overexposure to the energy of the celestial. In love with the god Apollo.
