Cassandra is a prominent character from Disney's animated television series, Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure (also known as Tangled: The Series). She begins as Rapunzel's fiercely loyal lady-in-waiting and best friend, characterized by her practicality, independence, and exceptional swordsmanship.

Initially, Cassandra is depicted as competent and devoted, acting as a voice of reason and protector for the often impulsive princess. She possesses a strong sense of justice and a desire to prove her worth, often feeling overlooked due to her close association with the crown.

However, Cassandra's character undergoes a significant transformation throughout the series. Driven by a longing for greater recognition and a feeling of being second best to Rapunzel, she becomes entangled with dark magic and ultimately turns against her former friend. This shift in allegiance stems from the revelation of her true parentage and a desire to claim what she believes is rightfully hers.

Her journey culminates in becoming the primary antagonist, wielding powerful dark magic and posing a considerable threat to Rapunzel and Corona. Cassandra's complex motivations and tragic downfall make her a memorable and multifaceted character within the Tangled universe.
