I found the version of the demo that has when cass follows ingrid into one of the girls bedroom.
ANYWAYS these are caps (slightly edited for clarity, click to expand assuming the update didnt take that away.) of one of the daughter's bedrooms: the one connected to the dungeon, as further proves that ingrid was never expected to survive and the daughters (or at least cassandra) and Alcina planned to have her be hunted. whether it was a final test to see if she was 'worthy', or she just annoyed them at some point, who knows! she was the closest to becoming alcina's fourth daughter (and, as i'm adding ingrid to the blog, I will include an AU where she did become her daughter after this event).
personally, even though the game pretty clearly hints towards this being cassandra's room (cass is the one that hunts you into it if you take too long, and lbr, bela would be heavily against a link from the dirty dungeons to her room being a fake wall lmao);;; the appearance still looks more like bela's to me. so this is what that means here: the girls rooms all have a similar base appearance (I do not believe they share one room), but they get to decorate it themselves. Cassandra mentions in game the fact she likes to hang her hunts heads on the wall, and the devs aid the animal heads around the castle all were cass' kills. logistically, there should be animal heads in her room too, since she's clearly into that (and even mentions making ethan the centerpiece to alcina's party.)
so for this blogs purposes: the room showed in the game is Cassandra's, but in my writing, there are animal heads, and there are not white dresses. cass might have a few somewhere, but not on display. she wouldn't be able to keep them clean that long. the white dresses on display would be a bela thing, because bela is the cleanest of the sisters. the white furniture is alcina's thing, the girls get no control over that. but cassandra's likely have noticeable blood stains from taking prey into her room.
inside the closets, only one would really have clothes. their flies become clothes, otherwise they wouldn't be able to have their clothing when they turn to the swarms by a logical standpoint. chances are, the clothes are just what they want you to see, or just to please mom who is pretty... well, conservative in that one singular regard. otherwise, really, they're probably naked a lot of the time lmao. like, at the basic point, their outfits don't make sense for their hobbies anyways, cassandra might have a few outfits here and there that alcina got her from the 'business trips' that were mentioned by the devs. but mostly, she probably has different types of weapons, because she likes torture and torment. she has a direct access point to the dungeon where they have medieval torture devices. her personal interest is attacking things and people. weapons hidden in her closet, if not pieces of 'snacks' and other items she doesn't want the servants to immediately see, that makes more sense than a ton of clothes she isn't even gonna wear.
now, this is from when i wrote cass as an entirely different character before i decided their personalities were similar enough, i might as well make what was essentially my oc 'become' cass after the endpoint of her prior saga. other things she has hidden in her room would be drawing supplies. here's the thing, in most situations, murder and torture is considered an art form by the perpetrator. and prior 'human' cass had an interest in drawing. when she's trapped in her home, and not playing with daniela who obviously gets bored the easiest and needs the attention, she's drawing in her room. probably mostly fantasies of things she does to others who bother her, but also some fletching's of memories she doesn't exactly remember, and possibly visions of others due to the cadou placement (which i promise i will go into eventually i'm lAZY).
she doesn't share the drawings, not even to mom. they aren't like the paintings held around the house, and internally, considering she's the only sibling not to mention being 'mother's favorite' (while ironically being shown time and time again to be the one called, the one most often needed, and probably actually is the favorite considering she's moms hunting companion) she does feel 'less than' as is pretty clear when she mentions never getting the first bite and always having to give what she finds to her sisters. she probably compares what she does draw to all the paintings around the house constantly, and just doesn't feel like it's good enough or worth it to show mom. she knows her killings and hunting skills make mom proud, she doesn't want any of her mom being proud of her to dwindle bc of anything else she might be interested in.

I just realized, if anyone were to try and read the witches minds, you’d literally only hear disembodied buzzing. Cassandra already had a sort of lock from people being able to get into her head while she was alive (kinda ironic given how easily manipulated she was before), and while she doesn’t know she can dip into others heads (as, again, it was a power from when she was still alive, much like her elemental control that she doesn’t know she has yet, and she doesn’t know the extent of her powers now that she’s... less than alive, and more or less a mutated cluster) she does know that she sometimes hears things. Likely, though, she just assumes it’s because of how close she is with her sisters.
If one were able to break past the, ultimately irritating disembodied buzzing, slicing, twisting, and almost ground beef sound of the girls brains.... well, there’s a lot more layers underneath (as I’ve mentioned before, at the very least cassandra would be immune to Donna’s hallucinatory powers, and I personally have it as all three are, but for different reasons)
They’d be able to see just how much Bela wants to be a duplicate of her mother, how she does everything to be the best she can, constantly feeling underloved despite the fact Alcina loves all three equally. She’d do anything to prove herself, and while she has the most loyalty to Miranda due to their mother’s loyalty, there’s also a part of her that doesn’t necessarily trust the woman anymore.
They’d see a lot more complications in Cassandra, beyond just the vengeance and chaos she creates, and just how much she wants to tear the world apart. The flashes of memories she doesn’t know are memories, and a lot of the reason for why she wants to watch the world burn, the hurt from a life she can’t actually remember still burning brightly enough to make her want revenge against people she doesn’t recognize anymore
daniela, on the other hand, is primarily just ‘me me me me me’, but also how hurt she is when her sisters dont want to take part in her games. and the curiosities from when she’s touched a plant and it instantly grew, how they speak and sing to her, and how she can feel their pain.

also casual reminder but shortish so its more likely to be seen that my cassie
DOES have the scar and her hair doesn’t grow where the scar is, thus it’s like a small shaved/bald spot right on her side and a lil ways up. Often, she’ll cover it with her hair if she’s not wearing a hood.
has TWO TONED eyes/heterochroma! It was caused pre mutation, so she’s had it since the 50s at least when she was turned. her left eye is silver, and she can’t see more than blotchy figures from it. her right eye is golden. if one looked closely enough, they might still be able to see the faintest hint of a scar over her left eye. she also squints the left eye a lot, it doesn’t open all the way; so squinting is probably what other people would think it is since she’s not swollen there at all. 
the symbol on her forehead is NOT fully formed. It was a tattoo from when she first arrived in the village, and Bela and Daniela’s coven from their human lives brought her in; it is a witch related symbol, and done in honor of miranda. however when the cadou took over their forms and turned them into mutated creatures, it altered the symbol. bela is the sister with the fully formed crest, cassandra’s looks more ghostly in spots, it’s not fully formed and there’s no moon, but the rose is clear. dani’s (my dani) has the dagger mostly, and a small portion of the moon, the rose is not entirely visible as more than a bud. 
cass has noticeable balance issues stemming from dyspraxia. she’s also dyslexic (though, not as much of an issue for her given she can’t exactly see out of an eye anyways, so she just shoves things at her sisters to look over if they need to tbh. she doesn’t even notice it since she doesnt look at words or numbers, and as a dyslexic i can confirm avoiding such things helps a bit.) 
ik the games have them having v v human teeth but i like to imagine their canines are like lil fangs. fangs are cute f u.
ironically, despite being claimed as the most sadistic, daniela is canonically more sadistic than cassie is-- or, more violent, really. bc dani isn’t doing it for pleasure, at least not the way cassie is. 
she’s shorter than her sisters. ik the bts posts show that all three are supposed to be 6′ WITH heels, but in game when the three are next to mom, dani and bela are almost the same and cassie is noticeably shorter than daniela, and a little bit shorter than bela. thus, i place her at 5′11″. 6′ because of her heels.

Sisters Necklaces
The metal pendants made of bronze and silver plated, thus doesn’t cause pain to Cassandra in particular.
The teardrops on the sisters necklaces are Peridots, a symbolism of rebirth and growth. It’s also to be noted that while Alcina has a matching necklace to the girls, her gems are all red, whereas all three of the daughters have green gems below their colored, individual neck gemstones. Peridot is also a symbol of harmony, the connection shared between the three of them.
Bela’s is Carnelian, showing the empowerment and leadership of the eldest sister, and the confidence she’s expected to carry. Furthering her passion, drive, and the courage to continue on as the sisters ‘head’, and the motivation to continue leading them through their mothers will.
Cassandra’s choker’s gemstone is Yellow Apatite, symbolizing enhanced abilities, manifestation, strengthening of will, and strength as the huntress of the family. Aids in keeping skills on point and eternally growing. Coincidentally, causes her memories of her past life to slip in her head.
Daniela’s is Aventurine, often considered a stone of good luck. Daniela’s the youngest, it encourages perseverance to carry through— though she doesn’t really need it. It’s also noted to help dispel negative energies, which Daniela doesn’t consider most of her thoughts negative at all.

&& @blitzkriegers​ ;; how do the daughters feel about miranda? are they as loyal to her as they are to alcina? do they have a preference between the other lords and do they see them as aunts/uncles?
Tumblr media
Back when they were human / pagans (or in Cassandra’s specific case, since I have both a follows res lore more and she was human alt for most other people in the fandom, and the personal one i have/my own canon that’s not necessarily game canon for the most part, and i’ll only write with ppl who say it’s okay cause yknow, most ppl like res for the realism of it all n stuffs. If one can count zombies created by biology and a fungi that turns people into mutants realism. mostly thats all reserved for ppl who knew her when i wrote her as mal but that’s besides the point— hybrid.) there was once some level of loyalty to miranda. once. At the very least, bela was loyal, dani was likely indoctored at a young age (she’s the one we see in the images of miranda infecting the girls). Cassandra’s loyalty was strictly due to being part of bela’s coven, and a deep desire for family/familial bonds after being abandoned and abused. Due to that, her loyalty was to bela, not miranda, but being loyal to bela meant loyalty to miranda to a point. 
There’s still some similarity lying there from between human and rebirth. So i’ll go through it daughter by daughter for all the Qs!
Tumblr media
Bela holds the most loyalty to miranda— because of alcina having loyalty to miranda. That loyalty is tricky, for the most part. Everything goes to Alcina first and foremost, and if bela can avoid letting miranda know anything, she will. She doesn’t trust miranda like she trusts her mother, and she’s seen miranda not giving alcina the respect bela believes she deserves. If anything comes up, alcina’s who she lets know, and assumes if alcina wants miranda to know, then it’s probably the right decision even if she doesn’t agree with it. We see it in game too; when they find ethan, they don’t just start playing with him. They know he’s important to something mother’s doing, so they bring him over to her. 
There is a secondary factor though; even though bela will go to alcina first, we can see with her second interaction with ethan. Daniela’s excited to see what alcina does to him. Cassandra will fight him and call alcina over until the final battle with her. Bela does neither. She’s intent on taking care of him then and there. Even when ethan figured out how to weaken her, she believes she’s got the upper hand. That she knows what’s best. That it’s her responsibility to handle it.
There’s a sort of ‘what mother doesn’t know can’t affect her’ situation there. And she’ll lie if she has to. When alcina was telling her not to do anything with ethan yet, she was nearly crying in the moment; maybe assuming she was going to be scolded, maybe for not getting her way. She assumes she knows what situations will anger her and which won’t. That she knows when to do what, and alcina won’t mind. 
Which lends a hint that, despite everything, there may not be as much loyalty to her family as one might think. Unintentionally, but true loyalty by the cult’s standards was doing as wanted without thought. Bela doesn’t really do that. She thinks about it a lot. And a lot of the time it angers her. she’s loyal, just not in the way some would want or expect. 
She mentions disdain over the fact alcina kills all the staff (in the game files/voice lines not necessarily in playable game, but in game nonetheless.) and she clearly considers herself undertreated in comparison to her sisters; most of the reason she hunts ethan at all seems to be to gain alcina’s praise, otherwise she’s so against dirt and mess, it’s almost like she doesn’t like hunting at all. 
A lot of comments of note from the voice lines are also revolving around her general disdain for her siblings. She doesn’t speak much on daniela, but she insults cassandra every chance she gets. Hates cassandra’s mess, hates the situations cass gets into. She doesn’t seem to enjoy how much praise cassandra gets, and likely if there’s that hint of jealousy, she wouldn’t like the fact alcina has all of cass’ hunts on display in the house. (I don’t remember where that got confirmed, but i do remember either the actors or capcom confirmed it.  Pretty sure it was capcom but i watched a lot of nicole’s streams and, of course given what happened with Cass’ VA, I could imagine that just having been something maggie and nicole said too. so.) 
It’s all kind of ironic, too, given cass has nothing but compliments for her sisters– aside from occasionally saying they can be annoying, she compliments them a ton. Cassandra’s also the only one who was going to be given an apology (in game) from alcina. Maybe due to alcina realizing that was her only daughter left.. Except not anymore, but yknow.) i do think that could add to bela’s disdain towards everyone. She’s the eldest, and definitely seems to consider herself doing all the work, taking all the effort and blame, even though alcina raised them all the same. 
Even where the demo’s concerned, cassandra’s called upon, cassandra’s playing the most with the maiden, and cassandra seems to have the most run of the house (understandably from a play perspective, since their swarms cause a huge lag issue, but yea) daniela says she receives the most praise, but there’s no sure way of telling who all is telling the honest truth there. Even in the trailer for the dlc though, cass is who got called, and that’s gotta weigh down on bela when she wants all of alcina’s love and affection centered on her. 
Also of note: cassandra’s the only one who, when she calls for alcina, alcina appears. Gameplay wise i think it’s because the girls are all in locked rooms, which is why with cass when you finally can kill her, she’s by herself and locked in where alcina can’t get, but outside of the fact it was 100% gameplay mechanics, it’s also hard to ignore the fact cassandra was the only one hunting him throughout the house, and who could call alcina to her, as well as her sisters, and alcina would show up. 
Bela tries her hardest to act like alcina most of the time, and while their personalities are similar, bela has her mother’s professional and rich personality: neat, manners, control freak. Trying to be exactly like alcina– minus the pure joy for hunting, ironically– forced bela into the position of forcing herself to a perfect daughter mold. And she hates it. She hates that mindset, she hates feeling undervalued and underloved. And overall, because of her causing herself to enter that mindset, she’s also got some disdain for her mother and sisters as well, and it’s pretty evident when you look towards the fine details. Despite all the respect bela has for mom, she’s also angry, and thinks she may know better in some situations. 
With the other lords, Bela lacks respect for.. Any of them, really. She recognizes Karl is constantly working, but thinks he’s dirty and gross and doesn’t like him because of it. That, and he’s a man. 
Similarly with moreau, he’s a fishy little man, and that makes her hate him. Bela doesn’t tend to try and develop any relations with any of the lords, but moreau especially she dislikes.
She probably sees donna as the most respectable of the lords, but still considers her less than her mother. Angie just annoys her, tbh. She’d be extremely cruel to angie, probably even to the point that alcina would scold her for it, despite alcina’s distaste for them too. 
Bela, specifically, only considers them ‘mother’s siblings’. And doesn’t necessarily deem them worthy of the title. Especially since she’s older than a lot of them, and kind of believes she deserved her own ascension to a lord status.
Tumblr media
Cassandra’s loyalty to miranda.. Doesn’t exist. She knows Alcina respects her, and her respect for her is more in the sense of ‘this death gave me family in a new life’. Other than that, she doesn’t have much of an opinion of miranda or the cult. She’s not a religious person by nature, and even with the cult status, she doesn’t even know miranda’s prayer. Cassandra has dyspraxia, dyslexia, (dyscalculia but it likely doesn’t matter here since numbers arent really used), she’s autistic and ADHD. mentally, she was never going to be good enough for Miranda to use for Eva. the fact she was already blind in her right eye didn’t help matters, and the transformation left her with the greyed eye becoming silver, as her brown eye had become gold. Most of her scars seemed to have faded a fair bit, thanks to insects making up most of her form now. 
She’s not as good at the ‘business’ side of things like bela is. And cassandra praises bela’s brain from end to end. Her loyalty lies strictly to her sisters and alcina. Alcina praises her, raised her, and even though cassandra does get scolded fairly often (I actually think bela might have been scolded more originally, but cass gets most of it for her behavior. Cass just does more more often so bela sees the praise cass gets more often.) 
If alcina tells cass to pray to miranda, she’ll do her best to try because mother wants her to. That’s it. Much of alcina’s rage towards miranda’s lack of care over bela’s death? Raise that even further for cassandra, because cassandra knew she wouldn’t care. Miranda rarely visits, only calls to lay orders or complain, all the lords seem to hold meetings purely to boost miranda up. It’s all behavior that, in my main canon (that’s again only used w ppl who are chill w the fae thing hmu) she dealt with that before– she was locked away in a prison beneath his kingdom for years because of someone like that. Those memories are blocked out, but she can’t stand the behavior, and thinks alcina would do better than miranda ever could at being the ‘black god’s hand’. 
Loyalty to her sisters, too, is there. Despite bela’s obvious distaste towards her, cassandra does just about everything bela asks her to. Even with dani– if she’s already doing something for bela or alcina, cass won’t have time to do things with her, but if dani wanted cass to play with her, cass wouldn’t deny it. Chances are she’d love for dani to join her on hunts. Keep that safe distance, but still get to play together in a way. Even if cass thinks dani can be childish, she still wants her sisters to be happy.
And she definitely mostly hunts with alcina. Alcina’s who taught her to be as sadistic as she is. She loves alcina to and fro, and would do anything momma asked her to. Even if she doesn’t understand alcina’s loyalties, she loves alcina so much that it doesn’t matter. As long as alcina remembers to care about her sisters more than their grandma. 
Sad as it might seem, she honestly would let her sisters get away with anything so long as she felt like family with them. As selfish and sadistic as she is, she canonically shows loving her sisters more than anything else, and is broken to no end with their deaths.
As for the other lords–
She feels bad for moreau. Chances are she’s insulted him and shit on him too, because she can and she speaks before she thinks. But she also feels bad for how alone he is. Again, she doesn’t remember her past life, she doesn’t know why she feels for him. Though chances are she’s brought some of the random food items her mother’s brought back from business trips at moreau’s door. Even though she doesn’t necessarily know how to have an actual relationship with him, she still wants him to feel like someone cares about him. Even if he’s under the false impression that it’s miranda. He’s the brother mom doesn’t like or talk about, but more acceptable than the other brother. 
Donna she has a sort of understanding of, but she also doesn’t talk to her at all. Or hang around her. The dolls tend to make her uncomfortable, especially because she can’t exactly see them as well as her sisters could with their actually two functioning eyes. Her depth perception and general balance are both off, due to her blind eye and dyspraxia, so being around those things wouldn’t be the best for her all in all.  Mom’s sister, but again, mom doesn’t like to talk about her much. Even if she’s been invited for tea before and no showed more than once. 
I have a personal headcanon that the pipe bombs around the dimitrescu residence are from the girls (aka, dani and cass, bc bela refused) hanging out with Karl. Alcina and Bela went off on some trip and Dani and Cass, bored as hell, decided to drop in on uncle Karl and bug him. And what else is he gonna teach a few girls that like chaos and destroying everything? 
Aka, it’s kind of ironic that ethan essentially used Heisenberg’s creations to kill the niece that doesn’t like him, and it was sort of dani and cass faults too for leaving them around. 
I also have a headcanon that cass, while not knowing wtf he uses them for, assumes karl uses male bodies to create the lycans. Possibly ‘other things’ since she considers necromancy perfectly normal and fine and something she does regularly, and probably wouldn’t register.. Ahem.. any gross things being gross. If u catch my drift. Sorry uncle karl, ur niece thinks ur weird. Tho in her mind its not weird. Ig. 
So the one area by the dimi residence that karl accesses, she just leaves some bodies there for him sometimes. Or drops them off by the bridge to his factory. She doesn’t want to go in there. Factories mean machines, machines mean lights, and lights make her dizzy. 
I’ve also had the joke headcanon before that if alcina actually did do the opera nights maggie talked about in nicole’s streams, and karl was actually forced to sit out in the hall like maggie and neil said he would, cass would hang out with him since she wouldn’t be that interested in taking part in opera night. Especially an event that miranda forces the other lords to go to to shut alcina up, doesn’t go to herself, and the only one allowed to talk the entire night is alcina. Cass doesn’t have the attention span to sit still that long lol. When alcina scolds her she clocks out mentally after a few minutes, so.
Probably even if she got to know him a little bit more, even as of right now tbh, she likes karl the most. Especially if she learned that rebuilds the bodies and turns them into little working machines, since when she brings people back from the dead its to make guards for the castle. Plus, it’d mean he’s not using them for something else. Mostly cause then she could drop off the scarecrows she made from men that have been pecked too much, since they wouldn’t need to be soft and fleshy. 
is worthy of note, she only really brings him men. the few times women were dropped off, someone probably daniela found the bodies and just tossed a few she didn’t want reanimated in there, lol
Plus, if he did want to talk her into his war against grandma miranda, she’d be for it tbh. She doesn’t like miranda and thinks she’s too mean to mom. Thus eating her would be funtimes. talking her into fighting someone she’s seen treat mom with disrespect isn’t hard, even though she likes the uncle that disrespects mom the most lmAO 
Tumblr media
Dani’s loyalty is only, only to alcina. A little bit to her sisters, but she does feel left out a lot. She considers bela the smartest, and cassandra the best killer. Her emotions run high and fast, and she jumps between stability and slashing a maid’s face for not doing something quickly enough in a moment. She’s purely chaotic, and miranda’s structure and beliefs don’t resonate with dani at all. 
She doesn’t seem to follow along with what alcina wants most of the time, either, but she loves her mother and is loyal to her to a fault. If it messes with her good time, though, she won’t do it. Much as she loves mother and is loyal to her, she doesn’t believe loyalty means doing everything said on a whim. Things on a whim would be fun, not work. 
With her relatives, dani has the most of a relationship with all of them. She loves bothering unkie heisy (yes I stole that from neil and its gr8), they behave sorta similarly and it’s hilarious. i could go on and on about it, but this is already p long, but i do think she’s the most likely he’d let hang around since they’re so similar. she probably also annoys him too, though; a lot of people hate others that are similar to them, so, up in the air really. 
She likes moreau, sorta, but he’s also still smells fishy and she doesn’t like that very much. Plus his romance films are really boring to her.
Donna shares her care for plants; dani’s canonically got a lot of quotes related to gardening, and seems to be responsible for most of the houseplants. With how her mind is, she probably isn’t bothered as much by donna’s hallucinogenic plants, and can bring donna thinks to help care for them. Maybe even taught her some things, cause again, she’s much much older than donna, and would have a lot more experience. Plus, it gives her an excuse to endlessly go on and on about something she enjoys. It’s v v cute and we love that for her. Auntie donna and auntie donna’s weird doll, basically.

Give her a face Give her a name That isn’t hers
irina stinga, although only 29 years old at the time, was the head witch of the village coven. family moved to the village when Irina was still a toddler back in the 1920s. raised there, mother miranda would become a sort of deity to the family, who’d long since forgone their magick practices. the blood still remained in young irina, and upon her parents death to the wolves, she began practicing in the name of mother miranda.
considered a pagan village by outsiders, the villagers beliefs held strictly to mother miranda. still held doubts about the girl and her ways, her beliefs and curiosities. she’s a curious thing, certainly. her ways attracting miranda’s attention immediately. becoming a disciple of miranda herself, a devout follower, she’d have done anything the woman asked of her. even force others to, as well, if need be. 
few in the village actively joined the small coven, her prized trainee a young ginger girl. when time came for Miranda to carry out more tests, the coven already had been brainwashed into believing they should do whatever the deity asked. as such, irina, newest disciple, mally morae, and young malina wilinski. the only three with actual witch blood, thus, the tests would affect them far differently than previous subjects.
You won’t recognize her If you encountered
they agreed to the tests, to miranda’s desires. little did they know they’d end up in a comatose state, and wouldn’t know what would strike while they slept. their bodies devoured by the cadou. the blonde would be the first to awake, look onwards at the countess like a lost child. a new name, bela, given to her. her loyalty shifted instantly, from miranda, who she hardly even recalled, to her new mother– alcina. The first to awaken, reform from the flies and able to shift back between that form.
Don’t say a word Don’t disobey
her loyalty great, and a bloodlust rising. bela and her two new sisters– cassandra and daniela. the first to awaken, the eldest by that fact. all responsibility would fall to her. her sisters too childish and out of control by her own opinion, but bela was different. responsible, proper, the young lady she believed their mother always wanted. though alcina loved the three equally, bela wanted to be the most loved. most adored.
but, still, the newer experiments cause her concern. some dead part of her still wants to help, help mother gain more daughters to love, help mother spread the affection she has for some women. maybe even gain some sisters willing to put the work in, seeing as mother always slaughtered the servants. meanwhile the reanimated portion wants to destroy any sense of humanity left. they’re below her, and she knows that. Yet it still draws her in.
But when her mind made up you were illfully prepared Have you observed? The girl that you knew will never be yours

A lot of the unused dialogue (as well as used tbh) does show the heavily altering personalities between the girls (despite fandom thinking theyre interchangeable lol)
Dani refers to Bela as the smart one, but refers to herself as the most loved by Cina.
Bela seems to blame everything on Cassandra, and doesn’t have much to say about Dani, but does reference the fact she has to fix both sisters messes as the eldest.
Cass refers to both of her sisters with affection, will call them over when attacking ethan, and wants to share her catch with them both (also note: Dani wants to devour ethan in the second they tie him up, Bela feels she gets first dibs as the one who caught him. Cass didn’t bring it up, and calls for her sisters when she catches him so they can have their taste.)
It’s clear all three love each other greatly, but i think the theory that cass is the most self centered is… honestly just wrong. Yes, they’re all selfish. Despite being hard on them, Cina does spoil the shit out of them too. But people seem to think that since Cassandra hunts the most, and her kills are on display all throughout the castle, that she’s the most self centered one. But she isn’t. She has the true middle child energy of doing everything for her family, not just for her.
Cina even trusts her enough to ensure, even before Dani dies, that Cass is on the case and ready to attack ethan, and that cass is aware of what happened to Bela so she’ll be ready to take vengeance for her. But again, Cina is also hard on her, she’s hard on all three of them (Dani doesn’t see it, but she even admits that mother is scary in the unused audio.)
Ultimately, though, theyre still loved, but while Bela is the one called on in most normal situations, there are situations Cassandra is called in first. Because she’s the most adept in that moment, and her empathy for her family is a useful tool.
Like I’ve said before, Cass has absolutely no opinion on Miranda at all, Dani only cares as far as she’s adored, and Bela’s loyalty is specifically because of Alcina. If Heisenberg showed the girls how Miranda treats Alcina, Bela would tell Alcina immediately, Cassandra would get extremely defensive of Alcina and lose any ounce of trust she could have had for Miranda, and Daniela is more of a loose canon: there’s no guarantee she’d even remember shortly after, let alone care, as long as Alcina is happy.
Also please note: Sadism and Selfishness are different. Like with BDSM, you can be a sadist but still have empathy for others, and I’m primarily stating Cassandra has selective empathy, but is still empathetic to others. That does not mean she isn’t a sadist, though, and she does still take pleasure in hurting others and killing. Some part of her considers it right to do to others what she’d been through in her past life, therefore any moral aspect (that her reborn self doesn’t care much about anyways) is relieved. But she also doesn’t remember her past life, so.
