Cassima is character in the King's Quest: Adventures of Graham series. She is inspired by the original character from King's Quest 5 and King's Quest 6.
Background[]
Cassima is the mother of Gwendolyn, and wife of Alexander. She is the aunt of Gart.
Cassima lives with Alexander and her daughter back in their home in the Green Isles, where they rule. They come to visit Daventry during the summer, to leave Gwendolyn to stay with her Grandfather.[1]
She has told stories to her daughter before bed: stories of the Royal Family but often exaggerated with happy endings, and other fantastical fairy tale exaggerations. In one such story (popularly known) as told: Graham travelled to Kolyma, climbed that tower, rescued Princess Valanice, fell in love, and lived happily ever after. However the actual story was more complicated, and actually involved two princesses.
Personality and traits[]
Besides being an avid storyteller to her daughter, it is said Cassima used to have quite the wild side as well.
She was a princess with dark hair, olive skin, and who wore a green veil. She fit everything Alexander wanted in his own fantasy dream type girl.[2]
Titles and nicknames[]
- Queen Cassima
- Mom

Behind the scenes[]
She does not appear in the game, only mentiond. Her name is first mentioned in Chapter 4, but she was alluded to in chapter 1[3]. She is referred to as Mom in chapter 3. She was previously only mentioned by name in an article in GameInformer.[4]
Her name is pronounced Cass-Emma by Graham.
It’s oddly specific that Alexander would have a certain type of girl he interested in, that describes what Cassima looks like in KQ6 even down to the color of the veil she wears. This could imply that he has seen her before possibly after Mordon kidnapped her, but before Alex escaped. Forming some kind of crush based on her appearance. It seems Manny and Mordon are constantly together in this universe, and it’s unclear when Cassima was first kidnapped, or where she first taken to, though ultimately she was rescued in similar events to KQ5.
