During the early development of Tangled: The Series, the concept of Cassandra came early as Chris needed to answer the question 'What is it that Rapunzel NEEDS in her life?' He looked on further than his household and his two daughters.

Taking after her father, she developed a dream to join the royal guard, though she instead served as a lady-in-waiting.Ĭassandra was initially written and created by Chris Sonnenburg who also finalized her design along with Shane Prigmore.

In the years that followed, Cassandra repressed her memories of Gothel and grew to be intelligent, mature, and an extremely skilled fighter. With her mother gone, the Captain of the Guards decided to adopt Cassandra and raise her as his own daughter in the palace of Corona. To evade arrest, Gothel cut the bridge connecting her cottage to the mainland and fled the scene, abandoning Cassandra, who witnessed this and was heartbroken.

On the night of Rapunzel's kidnapping, Gothel's initial plan was to seek refuge at her cottage, but upon arriving, she found that it was overrun by guardsmen on the hunt for the lost princess. So.when is the next book coming out? That was quite a cliffhanger Ms.Four-year-old Cassandra with her biological mother, GothelĪs revealed in ' Rapunzel's Return', Cassandra is the biological daughter of Mother Gothel, though she was severely neglected and was often left to fend for herself and doing chores by herself in their cottage while Gothel went about her daily business. In the year of the woman, during a stormy US political climate, Cassi and her friends are hope for a better future where empowered young women and men truly can make the world a better place! This is a story I would love to see as a film! I look forward to the next book and hope there is even more music! The soundtrack is hauntingly beautiful and truly sets a mood each time it is used. The addition of music using QR codes is truly inspired! I found the music not only enhanced the reading experienced, but brought a whole other element of storytelling as the music performance itself is a tool used by the characters to communicate, spy and hide. I couldn't put it down! This story has so many correlations to the our own US political struggle with the truth, tolerance, the power of celebrity and political corruption. A cautionary coming of age tale that sucks you into the story from the first paragraph. Cassi, a young teenage girl goes through such an amazing journey facing countless life threatening obstacles, simply trying to get back to her family. If you are a fan of The Hunger Games, Red Sparrow, or Divergent, then you are going to love Callasandra Fractured. A suspenseful, haunting story of survival.
