Cassis

Cassis Lumberyard (カシス・ランバーヤード, Kashisu Ranbāyādo) is a mage of the Blade element in Magical Vacation and a student at Will-o'-Wisp Academy.

Personality
Cassis is nihilistic in nature, but takes part in lighthearted hobbies like potato peeling and cooks his own meals. It is implied that he is what most would refer to as edgy due to the fact that he collects knives, has rather dark views on things, and tends to curse under his breath. Aside from his nihilism, Cassis is somewhat outgoing with women and has a clever sense of humor (though his ways of approaching girls is quite rude). He also never backs down from fights, even if the odds are not in his favor.

Appearance
Cassis's hair is silver in color and reaches down to his ankles, and his eyes are mauve purple. For clothes, he wears a sleeveless violet jumpsuit with three red pockets on either leg, and red leg openings. Over the jumpsuit is a red vest with six silver buckles, and Cassis has a small pouch slung over his shoulder. His arms are cloaked with red lantern sleeves detaches from his vest, as well as gold armlets below his shoulders. Cassis's choice of footwear is a pair of brown boots.

Backstory
Cassis' father had authority in a realm known as the Backworld, but he died under mysterious circumstances. The Backworld's highest-ranking boss was very fond of Cassis, so he stepped in as his new fatherly figure and raised him to be self-sufficient at a young age. Through these teachings, Cassis learned how to grow potatoes and make dinner for his mother, who often came home late from working overtime. Every once in a while, Cassis helps out at the boss' field in the Backworld by planting and harvesting crops.

Prologue
Cassis' first on-screen appearance takes place in Will-o'-Wisp's music room. He argues with Cider about the Valencia Beach rumor and its legitimacy, believing there is a connection between the Seaside School and past student disappearances. After Olive backs up Cassis's claims by mentioning the disappearance of Vanilla Nighthawk, they opt to find Cabernet and Ganache to get their sides of the story. The three of them, including Arancia, follow the protagonist to the school's study hall where they find Cabernet alone at a desk. The puppet sulks and his classmates wonder if he is grieving over the loss of his brother, but Cabernet plays it off by saying a spec of dust got caught in his eye. Cassis consoles him by saying he won't have to dwell on his feelings at camp.

Epilogue
"Cassis gave everything he had gained on his adventure to impoverished children, then went on another journey, this time on his own."
