Cassis

"There's something we must overcome; something the grownups can no longer influence. That's what the principal was trying to get at, and that's what I believe."

- Cassis explaining himself to Cider

Cassis Lumberyard (カシス・ランバーヤード, Kashisu Ranbāyādo) is a Blade element mage in Magical Vacation and a student at Will-o'-Wisp Academy. His father is known to have died when he was young.

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 and has rather dark views on things. Aside from his nihilism, Cassis is somewhat outgoing with women and has a clever sense of humor. He also has a strong compassionate side, evident in how determined he is to protect his classmates.

Backstory
Cassis' father had authority in the Backworld, but died from an unknown cause. The Backworld's highest-ranking boss was very fond of Cassis, so he stepped in as a fatherly figure for the young Blade mage. The boss taught him how take on more responsibilities as a child, as he eventually learned how to grow potatoes and make dinner for his overtime-worker mother. Every once in a while, Cassis goes to help out at the boss' field to plant and harvest 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' 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 lecture 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 went solo on a journey, going penniless after imparting his gains to impoverished children."
