Aspects Description
| Aspect | Description |
|---|---|
| Secretly A Mantis | Cassandra is a Mantis Nymph Spirit (Masking with 18 dice as a Magic 3 Adept). She'll help you only if it furthers her own interests somehow (you're way too small to be much concern for her). Just calling her can cause a run complication with the FBI at GM Fiat. |
| Bug Knowledge | Cassandra is an expert on all forms of Bug spirits. |
| Twisted Magic | Cassandra knows many things about magic no one should mess with... |
| UCAS Government Connections | She has managed to have the ear of many in the UCAS government. |
| Bug Hotspots | Cassandra has an uncanny ability to have at least some information on any bug infestation. |
| Government Favors | Cassandra has pull in more governments than just the UCAS. |
| Magical Stealth | She knows many forms of magically hiding in plain site, and can train others... if that serves her purposes. (Covers Masking, Extended Masking, Flexible Signature, Astral Chameleon, etc.) |
| MilSpec Resources | This applies to anything related to the military. |
| ARES Macrotechnology Knowledge | Applies to ARES, their subsidiaries, their projects, their equipment, and their employees. |
| Mantis Hunger | Cassandra will push a little further if it means she can eat some bug souls. |
| Grip On The FBI | The FBI may be starting to lose control over her... She now has greater control over the Seattle office. (I'm sure it's fine.) |
