Cassandra Carlton Cage, the daughter of Johnny Cage and Sonya Blade, has a lot to live up to. Her parents were among the few kombatants to survive the wars against Outworld and Netherrealm, and were instrumental to Earthrealm's victories. Cassie is as strong-willed-and occasionally hotheaded--as her mother; and as quick-witted as her beloved dad, which makes her popular within her Special Forces unit. But these traits hide a seed of self-doubt cultivated by the demanding nature of her commanding officer: Sonya.

Cassie Cage's impressive victory over Shinnok led Raiden to give her a new important task: hunting down a soul stealer.
Cassie did not have to be told that the suspect could be a resurrected Shang Tsung.
Having tracked him from the site of his last known assault, Cassie confronted the withered old man.
He fought desperately but was ultimately defeated.
As the old man lay dying before her, Cassie asked his name.
With a mixture of sadness and relief, he whispered, "Shujinko."
To design Cassie, we had to find a balance of influence from her parents, Johnny Cage and Sonya Blade. Does she resent either of them? How would her upbringing affect her current appearance and style? Exploration led us to try many different approaches on how we could communicate this, including some featuring cybernetic augmentation.
A solution for us was the sleek and utilitarian Special Forces combat suit. Clearly influenced by her mother's military career, but also could showcase her fearless and brash attitude.
For her alternate appearance, we wanted to pay homage to her dad's kombat garb of years past: Wrist wraps, workout-inspired cloths, personal branding, and a similar color scheme.
Cassie strives to step out of her parent's shadow while defining herself. By mixing these elements, we were able to present Cassie with a style unique to her.
