Talk:Cassandra (Tangled)/@comment-27958222-20170809225012

Anyone else notice she looks suspiciously like Mother Gothel? I personally think she's Gothel's daughter.

This is my theory:

I think that before Gothel's flower was taken, she was married to a guy who didn't know about the flower. They had a daughter: Cassandra. Two-ish years after Cassandra was born, the queen got sick and the flower was taken to the palace, leaving Gothel stuck in her elderly form. Upon seeing Gothel's true form, her disgusted husband took baby Cassandra and left Gothel, who, a day later, went to the castle and stole Rapunzel, who she raised for the next 18 years. (Ever wonder why Gothel was so nice to Rapunzel when she didn't really need to be [except at the end]? I mean, she just needed to keep her alive is all. Answer: it's because she misses her own daughter and Rapunzel is filling that hole in her heart.)

Meanwhile, when Cass was a toddler, her father died and she was taken in by the captain of the Guard, who raised her as his own. And that's why Cass doesn't know her parents - because she was taken from one and the other died.

Anyway, that's my theory. Let me know what you think, or if there are any holes that need filling!
