Canon Personality:
♉︎ Violent) To say that Shadow Labrys likes hitting things is an understatement. She relishes in her power and her ability to destroy things. She feels utter glee and excitement at the prospect of being able to break something (or someone) and throws 100% of herself into a fight.

♉︎ Blunt) She lacks almost any sort of filter. If something is pissing her off, she'll say what it is. However, this is almost exclusively related to the raging bull of destruction persona she shows off to others. Which ties into another trait of hers...

♉︎ Terrible with Positive Emotions) Shadow Labrys might have grown as a person and developed a fully-fledged ego, but she's very much the embodiment of "old habits die hard." She was born from Labrys' trauma and anger, manipulated by the Malevolent Entity, and (initially) rejected by her original self. Violence, hatred, anger, and a lust for power and destruction are embedded deep in her soul. It's what she knows and what she's comfortable with. However, she's more than that now and that bugs her. She knows Labrys cares about her friends (and she herself possibly cares about them too, to some extension. Or, at the very least, respects them for kicking her ass) and she cares about Labrys, though she wouldn't admit it. And so when they try to stop her from killing Sho, she puts her weapon down (after destroying the remote that shut Labrys down) and just relinquishes control of their body back over to Labrys.

♉︎ Loves Freedom and Hates Authority) Freedom is a big part of both Labrys and Shadow Labrys. Labrys wanted it and Shadow Labrys objectively has it. She is the master of the realm in Persona 4 Arena that the story takes place in (save for the Malevolent Entity) and she gleefully does whatever the hell she wants right up until Labrys is finally able to accept her. Asterius' design, which is a facet of her, has chains that don't actually seem to be attached to much if anything and upon being released in Ultimax, she relished in her newfound freedom and expressed a very aggressive dislike of Sho trying to tell her what to do. She'd much rather just kill him and be done with it and follow her orders even if it'd lead to more destruction.

AU Name: Cassandra Yamada
AU Age: 21
AU Birthday: 4/20
AU History: Cassandra was born to a Japanese father and an Greek-American mother. Her mom was a big shot corporate worker in Brooklyn. Her father was a humble farmer in the country tilling the land that had been in his family for generations. The two met while Cassandra's mom was on a vacation to Japan and their relationship blossomed from there. They had two kids; Cassandra and her sister.

Both were no stranger to hard work, but Cassandra was always the brawn to her sister's brain. She enjoyed doing all the manual labor and participating in sports. But she always had a temper that tended to get her into trouble, especially when she often struggled to fit in due to her abrasive nature and mixed heritage. Going to America on trips to see her extended family wasn't much different. No matter where she went, she never seemed to fit in anywhere. The only place she ever felt that she could be herself was on her family's farm.

Eventually, though, things took a sharp turn. Early on in middle school she got into her first fight, though it would be far from her last. Due to her love of sports and her time spent working on the farm, Cassandra had become quite strong. Strong enough to make her realize she could take matters into her own hands. She believed strength gave her freedom and she would use that freedom to finally make a place where she could fit in. It wasn't long before she was labelled a delinquent, but it was a title she fully embraced.

By the time she had reached high school, she had gotten quite the reputation for herself. Many people hated her guts but there were also those who looked up to her. An adrenaline junkie, Cassandra was only interested in fighting people who were worth her time (i.e. people who could put up a fight), which meant a lot of bullies. So it's no surprise that plenty of the bullied ended up liking her quite a bit. Suffice to say she was thoroughly confused and weirded out by the positive attention, but over time she grew accustomed to it. Eventually she had her own group of friends who were ride or die, which ended up becoming quite literal once she got her motorcycle license. She ended up starting her own biker gang, which quickly grew in size as it offered a home to many people who felt as though they didn't fit in. And this was also around the same time as Cassandra finding out about her powers.

Something was causing various livestock to go missing around the farm and Cassandra decided to look into it. Turns out that her family farm is pretty close to a spirit vein, which has been drawing unwanted spirit attention. Fast forward to now and not much has changed. She managed to graduate high school despite delinquency and now works odd jobs and around the farm to make money, as well as chasing out opposing biker gangs and fighting monsters. Heard through the grapevine that weird stuff was happening in Kaisou and decided to head over there and check it out for herself.

AU Personality Differences: The main difference between Cassandra and Shadow Labry is that Cassandra isn't working backwards on the whole "being a person" thing. Shadow Labrys was a fragmented being born of her original's self's negative emotions before coming into her own. Meanwhile Cassandra is just like. A person. She has a lot of the abrasiveness that Shadow Labrys possessed but without the inhuman mindset to temper it into a destructive force of blind rage. She has a sense of right and wrong, though her morality is a bit wonky. She generally doesn't mess with innocent people because they aren't worth her time (read: good in a fight) but if it's her or them she won't be too broken up about hurting them. A lot of her worse traits are reigned in by simply not wanting to deal with consequences. She still loves her family (though she has a tough time admitting it) and generally likes her freedom. Though monsters and the like that invade her home get the full brunt of her strength. Nobody can see them, after all.
