"Ok geniuses, let’s feed those hungry brains. Dinner is on me!”

FULL NAME: Cass Hamada BASED ON: Aunt Cass (Big Hero 6) FACE CLAIM: Sutton Foster PRONOUNS: She/Her BIRTHDAY: October 5, 1982 CURRENT STATUS: Taken

Character Information || cw: death ||

Cassandra Day always felt a little bit behind. Several years younger than her incredible older sister, Cass spent her childhood trying to catch up to someone who had already done it first and better. Whereas Rosalind had graduated from college by 18, Cass dropped out part of the way through. The only place she was successful was in the kitchens, first as a part time job in a local diner and then later as her full time profession.

Their differences never changed how close the two sisters were. Cass adored her older sister and would have done anything for her. When Rose got married, Cass was the one who made their cake. She couldn’t have been happier.

She was 24 years old when her entire world turned upside down, inside out, and every other direction she could think of. At 24, she lost her beloved older sister and her brother in law who had become a good friend. At 24, her shattered nephews came to live with her. Suddenly, instead of being a young, up and coming chef finding herself, she had to be a responsible single mother.

But she was determined to do her best. Taking the life insurance money, she quit her job and invested in a small cafe with an apartment over it with enough space for the boys. It meant she could run up and down stairs between her different responsibilities, building up a customer base while building up a home that Tadashi and Hiro could count on and trying to build something like normalcy. A space where they could laugh again.

It wasn’t long before she realized that both of them had inherited their parents’ brains. It wasn’t long before Tadashi outstripped any attempt at homework help she could give, and Hiro wasn’t too far behind him. She couldn’t have been more proud, even knowing it meant they were going to leave her behind.

For awhile, it seemed like they were reaching higher and higher, on a path to change the world while she poured coffee and baked bread. Until tragedy struck again.

This time, it was Tadashi who left her behind, sacrificing himself to rescue Hiro and others from the devastating explosion.

Then Hiro nearly broke her heart when he told her that as soon as he was well enough, he needed to leave. He wouldn’t fully explain why, just that he wasn’t safe and he needed to go. At first, he tried to tell her he was sorry and would stay in touch, but she refused to listen. Hiro was all she had left. She wasn’t going to be left behind again, not while he needed her.

She sold the Lucky Cat Cafe, explaining to the loyal customers that she didn’t feel comfortable staying after her losses. Then, when he told her it was time, she disappeared with him. It took them some time, but they arrived in Swynlake, settled down, and she started to do her best to bring together some kind of normal life.

Cass knew it wasn’t going to be anything special. But it was enough. And who knew? Maybe she could get her nephew to smile again.

“What? Go to college like you? So people can tell me stuff I already know?”

FULL NAME: Hiro Hamada BASED ON: Hiro (Big Hero 6) FACE CLAIM: N/A PRONOUNS: He/Him BIRTHDAY : January 25th, 2004 CURRENT STATUS: Taken

Character Information || cw: fire, death, medical procedures ||

Hiro Hamada is smart. 

In fact, he's a genius, just like his mother and older brother Tadashi were. 

Smart enough to know he'll never really know his parents; three years old was far too young to have anything more than fleeting awareness of people. So he knows them from their research, their role in the scientific advances of Krei Tech, who they spent much of their lives working for. From photographs with unfamiliar smiling faces and his aunt Cass' stories; for Hiro his parents are, ultimately, little more than ghosts in the machine. 

He remembers his brother much better; the one who was always there to listen to his wild ideas.Tadashi, who was studying medical science to help make the world better, who never really got a chance.

The brother Hiro will never forget, and wishes he didn't have only memories left of him.

Hiro Hamada is smart. 

Smart enough to know he isn't normal anymore. 

Sometimes Hiro thinks his life doesn't feel real, it feels too impossibly big to be; like something out of the comic books he's always loved. See, Hiro Hamada, well; everyone thinks he must be Gifted. Because only magic can explain his strange control over his minibots. 

But the truth is; Hiro just knows how to bend things in his favor and manipulate what he needs to.

Smart enough to have painstakingly created tiny nanobots capable of twisting to the thoughts of their controller. 

Smart enough to follow in the footsteps of his brilliant parents because what else was he really meant for? But foolish enough to not have realized the offer from Krei Tech was bringing him right full circle to his parents' disastrous legacy. 

Hiro Hamada is smart.

But he was also just a kid, too eager to really see the bigger picture around him. 

Hiro didn't realize that big corporations don't care about the risks involved; it was a dream watching his minibots help build the first prototype tech that attempted to meld magic with science. And from there it just got bigger and bigger; from ideas outside acceptable limits of science just to see if it were possible to a huge prototype gateway meant to change the world, meant to help people cross time and space without effort. 

But that much power, like every cautionary tale written into a superhero's origin story, was bound to fail. 

Every front page in San Fransokyo carried the headline of the major blackout city-wide, the entire destruction of the Krei Tech facilities when their secret, ambitious Silent Sparrow project destroyed itself, nearly taking part of the city with it and killing all the promising talent there. 

The latter was a lie but Hiro lost too much that day to care that the truth was buried.

Hiro Hamada is smart.

But maybe he would trade a little of that just to go back to before. 

He always wanted to be more than people thought he could and, in a way, now he is. 

The accident that destroyed the laboratory changed everything for him. Tadashi saved him, in more ways than one; it was his work in medical technology that Krei Tech used to keep Hiro alive after Tadashi had rescued him from the fire at the cost of his own life. 

Sometimes Hiro thinks that too was a lie, like so many others Krei tech told him, that his brother must be alive somewhere but that wistful hope has begun to fade.

They couldn't save all of him, no; Hiro came away from the accident with a prosthetic leg and, thanks to some shady science via Krei Tech, some new hardware in his head. 

Hiro is the single remaining component of project Silent Sparrow now. His minibots don't need a controller anymore; it's situated right into the synopses of his brain. 

Just like magic. 

Except it isn't magic; it's something nobody else has and Hiro is aware that so long as people think he's Gifted nobody is going to look too far, nobody is going to go digging around in his head for the key to his bots, and the weapon they could become. He can deal with the rest, including the momentary 'brain glitches' that make him stumble up. 

So it's just going to have to be 'magic' and Hiro is going to lie his way right through everything else. 

Because Hiro Hamada is smart. 

Smart enough to know that big companies don't come looking for boys with robotic implants in their brains in small Magick-friendly British towns. Smart enough to know that he never wants another voice in his head but his own, and staying hidden until he figures out a way to really help change the world means he has to be a 'Magick' just so he can be a little closer to…normal.
