Cassie Newton, who first appears in the seventh season episode "[[Help (Buffy episode)|Help]]", is a young girl who comes to [[Buffy Summers|Buffy]] and tells her that she (Cassie) will die on the next Friday. Buffy, along with [[Xander Harris|Xander]], [[Dawn Summers|Dawn]] and [[Willow Rosenberg|Willow]], manages to save her from a group of boys who try to kill her in order to raise a demon. However, immediately after, Cassie dies of a heart attack caused by a family condition, fulfilling her own prophecy (this is a near perfect match to the story of [[Cassandra]] in [[Greek mythology]].) She does, however, leave several prophecies relating to the ''Buffy'' final episode -- including telling Spike "She'll tell you" and implying to Buffy who would win the final battle with [[The First Evil|the First]].

―Cassie Newton[src]

Biography

Life

Cassie was the daughter of a divorced couple, a mother and an alcoholic father with a criminal record; Phillip Newton. Her mother obtained custody, while her father, only obtained one weekend a month with his daughter. She maintained the blog Cassie's Poetry and Paintings, and was apparently a fan of the band White Stripes. At Sunnydale High, Cassie was friends with Mike Helgenberg and Dawn Summers.

Cassie was sent to Buffy Summers, the school's guidance counselor, because she had stopped doing her homework and her grades had dropped. She told Buffy that she would die on the next Friday.

Buffy, along with Xander, Dawn, Willow, and Spike managed to rescue her from a group of boys who tried to sacrifice her for the Invocation of Avilas. However, immediately after, Cassie died of a heart failure caused by a congenital condition, fulfilling her own prophecy.[1]

Before dying, Cassie revealed a couple of prophecies that were fulfilled during the battle between the Slayers and the First Evil's Turok-Han army. She revealed to Spike that "[Buffy]'ll tell [him]" she loved him, and to Buffy that she would make a difference: activating every Potential Slayer in the world into real Slayers.
