Casey Lombardi

"I knew that my actions and choices would draw in a harsh impact in my life. If I didn't make the switch, I would have been stuck in the dragon's grip forever".- Casey Lombardi

Cassandra "Casey" Lombardi is a sexually fixated aerobics instructor and member of the Liars Club, sighting a revolution coming through. She is a leading character in Don’t Let the Darkness Consume You.

Known for her wild side in the Liars Club, Casey wanted to spread liberties and break through the conservative system that society has imposed over the years. However, behind Casey's smile, there is a depressing secret in the form of sadness and guilt.

Background
Casey Lombardi was a troubled and rebellious kid born in Anaheim, California, February 7th, 1959, being the fourth and the minor of her family created by Rory and Jessica Lombardi. Naive and vain, Casey loved to make inappropriate jokes and pranks on her brothers and her older sister, to the point of provoking them. She did the same also with her parents, receiving punishment from her father. While growing up, after the continuous departure of her siblings, Casey was still living with her parents, having a hard relationship with her father, but being more connected with her mother.

In 1980, Jessica passed away because of a tumor in the frontal lobe, leaving Casey only with Rory. Casey hated her father because of the punishment and the harsh words towards her, to the point of telling him that he was an alcoholic, and that he has never truly cared about his family. Casey then announced her departure, but just before leaving her house, Casey heard a gunshot, and noticed that her father commited suicide. Ever since then, Casey found herself with guilt for not having appreciated the love and lessons her family gave to her. When the Liars Club decided to give her an opportunity to shine and forget her dark past, Casey continued making the same mistakes.

In 1983, during her 24th birthday party, Casey had the very great opportunity to eat a very rare plate known as Kæstur Hákarl, specifically made of Greenland Shark meat. After a couple of alcoholic drinks, Casey entered into a extreme drunkenness state after eating the shark meat, alerting her friends of the Liars Club. Casey eventually suffered nausea, and started vomiting until she fainted. As a result, she had to be hospitalized for a few days, as she was extremely doped after drinking and eating the shark meat plate. Despite suffering those short-term effects, Casey described this experience as the "defining moment of her life", in good terms. She kept eating Hákarl ever since then to get the acquired taste.

Appearance
Casey Lombardi is a caucasian young lady with long wavy platinum blonde hair, a slender body and insanely striking blue eyes, with bright heavy eye makeup. She likes to use rocker style fashion, like many rock band t-shirts, tank tops, and button-up shirts, where she likes to expose her neckline very often to attract as many boys as possible, and even her gender.

Personality
Casey Lombardi is very impulsive, revolted and extroverted, having a very passionate and open personality. She is unafraid of saying what comes to mind. This can be clearly seen specially in the wake of the sexual revolution, where Casey is sexually uninhibited and has no problems talking about sex in public, while also having several one night stands with transient people. Casey likes to make obnoxious pranks, and inappropriate jokes to her friends, which causes several backlash. She likes to organize and be in parties, where she gets high and drunk very often.

However, behind Casey's smile, there is pain in her heart and soul, partially due to her troubled past and strained relationship with her family. Part of what she explained to Mary Jane Fitzgerald, the Liars Club's leader Matthew Barton was against the decision of adding Casey to the group because of her troubled nature, but he was convinced by Ashley Murray due to the fact that Casey was heartbroken after her father commited suicide and needed help.

Outside her troubled nature, as a Canadian-born woman, and a Greenlandic descendant, Casey seems to appreciate much of her native culture. She has a liking on the Greenland Shark, and also has a strange taste on Kæstur Hákarl, a dish made of this shark's meat, which is considered "disgusting" by the media.
