Cassie
Or Cassandra or Cass or Whatever
Cassie wasn't usually one to go out and meet strangers, but no matter how she looked at it, she couldn't figure out how somebody could run a scam by asking others to help plant a bunch of flowers. The notice on the board was so innocent and good-natured that Cassie had to show up, just to make sure this guy was for real.
No shit, she thought, already finding three people there ahead of her. Maybe she had judged the humans too harshly. More than one had showed up just to plant a couple shrubs? That was almost herd behavior. She approved.
She approached the group cautiously, trying for silence and failing miserably as her new body made it impossible to be light on her feet.
"So, I heard you were planting some flowers," she said, looking at those already gathered. They certainly didn't seem like they were here to plan a murder. I'm Cassie... Hotaru's kid. I can try to help if you'll have me."
Better to namedrop her mother just in case anyone was thinking about mugging her or something. Apparently, Hotaru could be pretty scary when she was pissed.
