"She was born from darkness itself, it was woven in her bones and carved in her heart. She was the Light born from Darkness, because all stars are born in the dark. She was Cassiopeia Lestrange."

Everyone knew her, everyone feared her, many wanted to be like her, and many hated her.
Who was she?
Cassiopeia Lestrange was a pureblood Slytherin, who had the blood of two noble and sacred families running in her veins; Black and Lestrange.
But who was she?
Cassiopeia Lestrange was practically the gold standard of what daughters were supposed to be like in the pureblood community. She was the epitome of bitchiness, the perfect pureblood girl who didn't seem to have any flaws. She was gorgeous in her looks - taking after her mother - and intelligent and obedient and lined up to follow the footsteps of her mother to become the Dark Lord's most powerful Death Eater.
She was perfect; the perfect daughter, the perfect pureblood princess, the perfect Slytherin girl and the perfect pawn in a war which which was looming over their heads.
But who was she really? was that the real her?
Cassiopeia Lestrange was a perfectly broken girl, the cracks in her heart increasing with every passing minute and waiting to shatter. She was the girl who became the first friend of Hermione Granger, the first crush of Harry Potter and the first Slytherin who was accepted by Ron.
She was the girl who was surrounded by darkness since she was born and she felt like she was going insane. She was the girl who was losing people around her and herself and her sanity, slowly and slowly.
She masked her emotions and plastered a cold façade and her eyes were blank and empty. She let everyone believe she was the 'Perfect Slytherin Princess', but inside she was falling and breaking and crying and losing herself.
But her mask didn't slip, it shouldn't.
Perfect, she has to be.
A Lestrange never shows her emotions and never loses her calm and cold façade.
And so she ran the show, the biggest show to fool the deadliest people and she was the main character and she wore the mask and she never took it off.
She had to be perfect, no mistakes should be made, and no slip of emotions was allowed. Because then it would ruin her perfect show.
And maybe that's what ruined her and scarred her soul forever.
