Fanon:Cassandra Goth (C.Syde)

Cassandra Goth is a well known resident in my player stories in The Sims 2 in Pleasantview. She is the daughter to Mortimer and Bella Goth, the ex-fiancee to Don Lothario, the husband to Darren Goth, the adoptive mother to Dirk Dreamer and mother to Bella II, Mortimer II, Cornelia II and Darleen Goth. Cassandra is voiced by Gerri Lawlor and is 26 days from being an Elder.

When I first noted that Darren had romantic feelings for Cassandra Goth, I automatically decided that if he wanted another chance at love, he wasn't going to stop until he'd won her affection. Initially Cassandra was reluctant to reciprocate Darren's romantic feelings (possibly due to being in a bad mood) but did so a little while later. She eventually also agreed to move in with him and be his partner - despite still being engaged to the town womanizer Don Lothario. The reasons for Cassandra being more resisting to her romance with Darren may be due to being less outgoing, more serious and more grouchy.

Early in the game, before I used Cheats I found it difficult to keep all the Sims' motives and aspiration levels under control. These days I'd find it much easier, even without cheats.

Darren was sure that if he and Cassandra kept on top of their relationship, Cassandra would lose interest in Don and bind a commitment with Darren instead. Darren's predictions were soon answered but not the way he had expected. Cassandra was already starting to change her mind about getting married to Don on the day of their wedding. The wedding guests were - Kaylynn Pleasant, Dina Caliente and Nina Caliente who was now a friend of Cassandra's. Don was left at the altar after Cassandra caught him Cheating with Dina.

Soon soon after the wedding failure, Cassandra proposed to Darren and he accepted. The two of them quickly ran into their marriage with a private wedding. Cassandra and Darren Goth now have a family of five children - Dirk Dreamer (adopted by Cassandra from Darren's previous marriage), Bella Goth II (named after Cassandra's mother), Mortimer Goth II (named after Cassandra's father), Cornelia Goth II (named after Cassandra's late paternal mother), and Darleen Goth (named after Darren's first wife). Cornelia and Darleen were born together as twins.

Trivia

 * Cassandra and Nina first met at one of Darren's house parties early when playing the Sims 2. As I was using neither of them at the time, the game is solely responsible for the start of their friendship.
 * I could have waited for Cassandra to autonomously flirt with Darren during gameplay, but I was currently unaware of Cassandra being known to do so at her own Free will.
 * Cassandra is also good friends with my CAS Suzy Parker. I always knew that I would be making them friends and then best friends as soon as I got the chance.
 * I decided to end Cassandra's friendship with Mary-Sue Pleasant. The reason for this remains uncertain, though it may have something to do with their possible contrasting differences.
 * Cassandra now wears red lipstick, red blush and a red dress in memory of her long lost mother.
 * At one point I decided to have Cassandra save Darren from Death.
