An unfortunate maid working at [[Unseen University]] who appears to be first in line for any risks over and above the job description.

She is first encountered in {{ER}} as the luckless person who answers a knock at the back door and who has to escort [[Granny Weatherwax]] to the presence of Mrs [[Whitlow]].

As if this is not enough of a life-changing encounter, in {{MP}} she is the one who first realises the [[Riktor|vase in the corridor]] is spitting out lead pellets at a life-threatening velocity, and who is dragged in front of [[Mustrum Ridcully]] by Mrs [[Whitlow]] to explain what has happened.

==Annotation==

The original {{wp|Cassandra|Cassandra}} was the prophetess of doom in ancient Troy. She was doubly cursèd by the Gods in a manner reminiscent of [[Agnes Nutter]]. The nature of the divine curse was that (i) she would always get it right and be an infallible prophetess; and that (ii) ''nobody would listen.'' The net result was that when she started tuning in to the idea that the Greeks had worked out a method of getting inside the walls of Troy, nobody listened to her warning - "oh, it's just that loony woman again" - and the city duly fell.
