Cassandra Goth

Cassandra Goth is a bright, mysterious girl who first appeared in The Sims as a Sim who resides in Sim Lane with her mother, Bella Goth, and father, Mortimer Goth. She reappeared in The Sims 2 in Pleasantview with her father, Mortimer, and brother, Alexander Goth. She, her father and her mother (from Strangetown) are also the only Sims to keep the same bio between The Sims and The Sims 2.

Life leading up to The Sims (console)
In The Sims for console, Cassandra lives with her parents Mortimer Goth and Bella Goth in 5 Sim Avenue. She is a B student. She has the same black pigtails, white shirt and black shoes, but now has black sunglasses and a black skirt. She shares a 20+ relationship with both her parents. She likes to play with her toys, play the piano, feed the fish and mourn at the tombstones. If the player leaves her alone when first playing her family she will go to the telephone and wonder what it is.

With Free Will on, Cassandra and her family will only mourn at the tombstones even if they are in a bad mood.

Life leading up to The Sims
In The Sims, she is a child living with her parents, Mortimer Goth and Bella Goth. Cassandra is an A student, and enjoys having tea with her grandmother, Cornelia Goth. She enjoys reading and playing with her toys. She wears round, horn-rimmed glasses; a white-collared shirt; and a blue, knee-length skirt. Cassandra is shy and doesn't say much. Not much is known about her until she has her own story to tell in The Sims 2.

Life leading up to The Sims 2
In the 25 years that have theoretically passed between The Sims and The Sims 2, she makes her reappearance living in Goth Manor with her aging father, Mortimer Goth, and her bright younger brother, Alexander Goth. She has grown into an adult and honors her last name. She wears a long, black, Medieval-style dress; host pigtails; round glasses; and rarely smiles. She looks a lot like her missing mother, Bella. She is engaged to Don Lothario. Cassandra does not realize, or appears unaware, that he is also involved with several other women. She is also unaware of the crush that Darren Dreamer has on her. (Many players tend to have Cassandra break up with Don and marry Darren, but that is, of course, player's choice.) Like her father, Mortimer, she works in the Science career track, where she is a Field Researcher. Cassandra is an adult and becomes an elder in 26 days. She is generally shy and neat, and is occasionally playful; her favorite activities are playing piano and reading. Cassandra wants to have a family and live a normal life. She is close friends with Mary-Sue Pleasant, and has been since they were children.

When the Goths are first played in The Sims 2, Cassandra and Don are in the back garden, and a game tip instructs that the player should give Don a romantic gesture to spark things off. It then tells the player to marry them, which can be achieved by simply clicking the wedding arch and "Get married". In these circumstances Don usually leaves Cassandra at the altar, leaving her in a bad mood and, if Nightlife or later is installed, furious with Don. However, it is possible to have Don marry her by simply getting the relationship higher and doing more than just a kiss (getting the relationship to 100).

A bit of trivia is that Cassandra is the only pre-made adult in Pleasantview who can trace back to any of his or her great-grandparents. This is probably because Gunther and Cornelia's parents are buried in the family graveyard and haunt the grounds, and therefore need to have character files. Another interesting fact is that Cassandra and Mary-Sue have memories of meeting during their childhood, even though Mary-Sue is much older than Cassandra. (This can be reconciled if it's assumed that Cassandra had access to the Elixir of Life while Mary-Sue did not - or that maybe Mary-Sue had access to it, and got the negative effect).

Strangely, while she is a Cancer in The Sims and Busting Out, she is a Virgo in The Sims 2

Depictions in other games
In SimGolf, there are her parents, the Tragic Clown and other characters for download from the official site. She will be one of the player's golfers. It is also mentioned that she liked Rock music, guns and death.

In the original MySims game there is a ghost called Cassandra. She is a spooky Sim and could be Cassandra Goth but, as no last name is given, we cannot be sure.

Trivia

 * Unlike her brother, she did not appear in The Sims 3 for Nintendo DS.
