Cassiopea will reveal the future to anyone who gives her gold. She is much like Balasik in Mulawin, who wanted corn in exchange for the truth. The character borrows from two Greek mythical persons. Her name is derived from Cassiopeia, queen of Aethiopia, and her being a seer. When she utters a prophecy of the future through her mind, a sphere of magical thoughts envelopes her head and she utters the prophecy in Enchanta, language of the Encantadians. That sphere also appears when speaking in telepathy to others but speaks Enchanta when talking normally. This article or section does not cite its references or sources. ...

Though born blind, Cassiopea was gifted with premonitions-visions of the future, inheriting this from her ancestor, Esmeralda. This ability would eventually earn her the moniker "Mata" or the Eye from her fellow Diwatas.

One of these visions involved an event that would soon shake Etheria to its very foundations: She saw a dark being assassinating Ornia and Memen. Cassiopea tried to warn her parents, who foolishly contradicted her. Later that night Animus, Andora's brother and Memen's nephew, came bearing the feared Kabilan and committed the foul deed.

Cassiopea became the first queen (Ynang Reyna) of Lireo, and a member of the Council of Encantadia, along with the rulers of Adamya, Sapiro, and Hathoria.

Sometime during her reign she used the magical sword Kabilan to cleave the Hope gem, that was instrumental in the defeat of Etheria, into the four elemental gems. She did this in an attempt to save the Mulawin race from the wrath of the Hathors. This event caused her to gain the ire of Emre who cursed her with immortality and banishment from Lireo until the gem was restored.

Cassiopea, at the start of the third book, failed to attend the feast of the birth of Armea. After dreaming of the horrific return of the four Herans from the ruins of Etheria, her lines on the palm (erased after cleaving the Hope gem, much like Amihan's) came back, losing her hold in her own fate and signifying her oncoming death. She was later killed by the masked encantado hired by Ether, later on revealed as Arkrey, the traitorous Sapirian. Her mentor Evades was killed too.
