Cassandra "Cassie" Higgins

Cassandra "Cassie" Higgins is a new ally and Hunter who recently joined the cell. Cassie was discovered by the cell when they entered a house on Payne Road that they assumed to be empty. She was in the bathtub, nearly dead from self inflicted wrist wounds. Had the cell not come upon her when they did, she would have perished. They gathered her up, applied some hasty first aid, and quickly drove her to a hospital in Stokes county. There Carl posed as her father to have her admitted. Once she recovered, Carl also assisted in getting her out of there. Since Cassie's family was involved with the Beast of Payne road and the cult of people who did its bidding, they allowed her to stay at the safe house. Cassie's sister was given up to the Beast as an offering so that her father's business would succeed. Discovering this horrific set of circumstances, Cassie fell into a downward spiral mentally, which was only expedited by her parent's insistence that her sister never existed. Now that has hit rock bottom and survived, she has decided to join forces with the cell using her formidable skills as a researcher. She is young, goth, sarcastic, and a little rough around the edges, but may just be what the cell needs to maintain an advantage.
