Brief Synopsis of Mythology: Basically, Cassandra was promised by Apollo, the most handsome God, to give the power of prophecy (foretelling the future) if she gave herself to him. When she received the power she did not give herself to him, so Apollo got so pissed that he made it that no one would believe her. She foretold the city of Troy being taken over by Athenians. Eventually, they were and a few years later Troy got the city back with a lot of drama. In return she was given Agamemnon, the leader of the Army of the Athenians, they bore 2 sons. At the end she was killed by Agamemnon's wife and so was Agamemnon.

Cassandra Personality : When you think you know everything but not able to convince people that you do.
