Personality: On the surface, Cassandra is a bit like a rock; tough and cold. She tends to be blunt and headstrong, butting heads with anyone that gets on her bad side... which can happen easily if you push any number of her buttons. This, coupled with displaying an attitude that ranges from bitingly sarcastic remarks to chilling outbursts of anger can result in people brushing her off as simply a spiteful young woman.
But once you push past the cold demeanor, underneath is a strong, supportive friend who wants the best for those she cares for. She's just planted her feet firmly in the camps of "Not taking people's shit" and "Tact? What tact?" You likely won't get by with just a smile and a nod, Cassandra likes to tell it like it is. Even if you won't want to hear that. And it's usually good advice too, owing to how perceptive Cassandra can be. That perception doubles as a easy way for her to toss in some teasing snark and cynicism when she finds it appropriate.
And pushing past the friendly, caring side of Cassandra, you find... Someone very willing to prove herself. Someone who, from a young age, just wanted to be in the royal guard like her adoptive father, the Captain, to make not just him proud of her but everyone else. Cass devoted herself to hard work - to "earn her keep" - ever since, putting aside the desire for dreams to instead keep a practical outlook on life. Earning respect and a job that didn't leave her stuck as a handmaiden were always on her mind, but she hardly made a move to complain if that complicated things.
This gets into the main issue. Cass is very much like her dad, with her strong sense of justice and bravery, but at the base, there's a traumatized four year old. One that watched her birth mother abandon her for another child. One that was treated less as a daughter and more like a servant, teaching Cassandra that love came with strings and her worth was measured by those around her. And even though the memories of that time were repressed, the feelings remained, and that mindset stuck with Cass all her life... leading her to no end of frustration when she was stuck waiting on others for the respect she hopes for but ends up overlooked. She used to repress those feelings, too. Until it became too much.
Full disclosure, Cass was just through a months-long downward spiral of rage and resentment. Feeling ignored and always overlooked, she lashed out for the first time in her life in violent ways, planning to drive everyone away and burn the bridges so long as she finally got something out of it for herself. It takes one last betrayal for Cass to completely break down and allow herself to cry, finally making her issue of feeling worthless in people's eyes known.
She didn't bet on one person refusing to give up on her, though. Rapunzel's refusal to ever stop trying to get her back confused and frustrated her. No matter what Cassandra did. But it brought her back from the brink, proved to Cass that there was more in her than anyone thought, and convinced her to keep going - and ultimately saving the kingdom.
Now, Cassandra is better, not completely. But she is healing. While making the effort to repair the bonds she broke, Cass ultimately decided to something for herself again: by going out to seek her own destiny. Not stolen out of anger but a destiny entirely for herself.

-pretty sure it's working.
[And a voice comes through, very close. Thankfully a sign that the video is still going, seeing as now all that can be seen is a dark haze.]
Hello? Someone that isn't that weird woman in the house claiming to be my mother? [Which is a whole other can of worms she won't even touch, aside from the general information she'd gotten.] I mean, I heard the instructions, so I'm just guessing here. Most of the time I see things like this, they tend to explode!
[The screen shifts, again. On the upside, you can see the sunlight again! And now, a person, with a short bob of curling hair, and an unimpressed look staring down at you. A pokemon - Rowlett, to those familiar with the type - perches on her right shoulder, trilling as it rubs its face into her neck.]
I mean, how do I know if the light means it's working? This is my first time handling a magic mirror like this.
[Hoo? Goes Rowlett. Because it seems she's speaking to it. Such things are possible for Disney characters.]
Yes, sorry. It's technology. Alright? [A fown, a sigh, but she presses on.] Hello? If I'm reading the map correctly I'm in... the Kanto region? Don't exactly like how I can't remember getting here, or waking up in a bed I didn't pay for. So... yeah.
