Cassandra

Cassandra is a character in Andrew Lloyd Webber's Cats.

Personality
Cassandra is usually portrayed as a mystical and somewhat aloof mysterious cat. She also appears to be the most graceful and flexible. She is very smooth. and she appear to be the most mature and very elegant Jellicle Queen. She is at times portrayed as a kitten, but because of her mature appearance, the other Jellicles take her for granted as a haughty, aloof queen, and also consider her the most beautiful and flawless Jellicle Queen of all.

Role

 * "Strong dancer with good ballet training. minimum height 5'7."

Cassandra is principally a dancing role. Her biggest part of the performance is usually when she acts as Mr. Mistoffelees' assistant during his song. She also one of the dancers for the Macavity the Mystery Cat song ,and she's one of the cats that's shown that accepts Grizabella back into the tribe and she finally trusts her and no longer considers her a threat, shown by how she waves goodbye to her while she was going to the Heaviside layer to be reborn.

Appearance
Cassandra is portrayed as a mysterious brown and cream siamese, sphinx, or abyssinian cat, with a braided tail. Her costume gives her an exotic appearance - (in most productions) her wig is very short, and rather than tufty ears, hers are elegantly rolled. She is the only cat with no fluff on her costume, her shoulders are smooth, and she has no arm or leg warmers. Her costume is airbrushed rather than painted or sponged, which makes her look quite different to the rest of the cats.
