Cassi LeRue was a galactic reknown singer/actress. She was born Cassandra Jasmine LeRue Dosson. Cassi was half Morellian, a long-lived race, which was believed to have died out.
History
Early Life
Cassandra was born to Alandra LeRue, a well-known Alderaanian holo actress living on Adarlon in the Minos Cluster. Her father was Yanas Dosson, a former Morellian enforcer turned mercenary and part-time bounty hunter.
Cassi's parents were married a couple months after she was conceived. After Cassi was born, her mother went right back to acting. Her father was around to spoil her in between fighting in various border wars and tracking down bounties. Cassi would be predominately raised by nannies and tutors. Her mother had her in front of the holocams before she could walk. Between acting, singing and tutoring, Cassi had little to no free time and had few friends her own age. While Alandra preferred to stay at the Adarlon residence, Cassi was more comfortable when visiting the Alderaan estate.
While attending the University of Alderaan, Alandra became infected with and died from ascomycetous pneumoconiosis, or Fester Lung, after working on a new holovid on Varonat. Cassi and Yanas attended the funeral on Alderaan and laid Alandra to rest on Adarlon. Yanas would leave his Morellian oilcoat for Cassi and his visits would become very rare.
Celebrity Life
From age one to two, Cassi co-starred alongside her mother in the holo-serial, As the Galaxy Turns. Starting at age seven, she starred in five holovids released every two years. At the suggestion of one Alandra’s friends, Cassi began singing at age 12 and released three sound slugs by age 17. After growing up around tutors, directors and producers, Cassi decided to go on hiatus from the celebrity life and attended the University of Alderaan.
The next several years would be spent touring the galaxy and participating in various charity events. After 19 years, Cassi would return to holo business turning out a new holovid every couple of years. With no one aware of her Morellian heritage, Cassi would fall prey to accusations of cosmetic surgery due her retaining such a youthful appearance. She neither confirms or denies the accusations, sometimes making humorous comments about the subject herself.

Marriage and Family
Around 25 BBY, Cassi met and married a charming, smooth talking smuggler named Marcus Morgan. They had a daughter named Cassandra Jasmyne "CJ" Morgan. While CJ was still very young, Cassi divorced Marcus after discovering that he had a fancy for pretty females who would listen to his stories. CJ was somewhat of a tomboy and a daddy's girl. Cassi often would talk of CJ going to the finest academies in the galaxy. With the changing tides in the government, Cassi felt even with Marcus's smuggler life that CJ would be safer with him than with her. Considering her friendship with Bail Organa found Cassi making new uses of her acting skills.
Secret Life
Cassi first met Bail Organa shortly after he became a senator in 19 BBY at the premiere of her holovid, A Midsummer Night's Dream. They became fast friends and soon Senator Organa was confiding his feelings about Palpatine and his Galactic Empire to Cassi. She began sharing what she would overhear politicians and military leaders discussing at parties and other gatherings with Senator Organa. Cassi would use her celebrity status to travel and get into places and events that would be difficult for other restistance agents. By the time the Rebel Alliance was formally created, Cassi was also known as Yasmina.
As Yasmina, she wears her father's Morellian oilcoat over form-fitting combat clothes. To help hide her identity, she wears a head scarf, puts tribal marking on her arms and uses a vocal disguiser. She performs various missions for the Alliance including: stealing information, funneling supplies to various rebel cells and assisting disillusioned Imperials defect.
Even though it was breaking Cassi's heart to have her daughter growing farther apart from her, she felt it was important to keep her other life secret to protect CJ. Cassi always found a way to keep tabs on CJ.
Rebellion Era
The first time in many years that Cassi physically came close to her daughter was on Coyn. One of Cassi's rebel middlemen hired CJ and her crew for a job. Cassi would attempt to track their movement on Coyn to get a look at her daughter. But she had to stop short when she sensed she had been spotted.
Appearance and Personality
Cassi was an attractive female with blonde hair and blue eyes. She was a good-natured, caring, and passionate woman. When on stage, she was energetic and flamboyant.
