Overview

Casta Cauldronello, known as Casta Fierce, is a witch and the daughter of Circe. She is the lead singer of Casta & The Spells, struggling with her uncontrolled magic powers.

Casta Cauldronello, also known as Casta Fierce, is a 2014-introduced and all-around character. She is a witch, specifically the daughter of Circe, and the lead singer of Casta & The Spells. Aside from Casta, The Spells consist of three girls who are uniquely immune to Casta's magic. Like her mother, Casta can turn anyone into any animal, but she has limited control over her powers. One misspoken word or unfortunately phrased sentence is enough to turn anyone hearing it into the matching animal. This has put a damper on her singing career, but Casta and her band keep making music, including their notable song “Witching Hour” as they look for solutions. Casta is a close friend of Catty Noir (G1), a colleague of hers.

Character

Casta has a distinctive appearance with green skin and magical abilities, but struggles with stage fright due to her uncontrolled powers.

Casta has purple eyes with orange starbursts around the pupil (in the cartoon series, her starbursts are white), long black approximately knee-length hair, with purple and orange highlights on her fringe, and green skin. She also has a beauty mark and a painted yellow lightning bolt on her face. Her outfit consists of a sparkly dress that is purple and orange, cascading into a flowing orange and black net with a black belt. She has spiked purple boots, a fishnet arm warmer, a purple broom with orange ribbons, and a purple microphone.

Casta is shown to care about her fans, as she is willing to fulfill a request asked of her by them. She is shown to get embarrassed on stage when she accidentally casts a spell that turns the crowd into animals. This causes her to have a bit of stage fright, as it is all she can think about, until Toralei Stripe (G1) makes a fool of herself. This helps take her mind off of her stage fright, allowing her to perform again.

Magic: As a witch, Casta is able to cast spells and perform magic. Her magic manifests as violet orbs and when she used her magic on the potion, her hands glowed.
Animal Transformation: Like her mother, Casta can turn other people into animals. She has very limited control over this power and can turn other people into animals by saying a misspoken word or phrase. Like all witches, she can also turn other people into animals by casting a spell.
Singing: She inherited her mother's musical gift, and is a very talented chanteuse. Her mother's musical talents gave her excellent training.

Relationships

Casta is the daughter of Circe and has a younger brother Spelldon, with friends including Catty Noir and Operetta.

Casta Fierce is the daughter of Circe, the goddess of magic. Like her mother she can also turn people and other monsters into animals. Casta and her mother seem very close as her mother watched her perform at Monster High (location) (G1), and in a flashback to a younger Casta, she is with her mother. Through her mother, her aunt is Pasiphae who's also the mother of Minotaur, Manny Taur (G1)'s father, making her and Manny distantly related.

She also has a younger brother named Spelldon Cauldronello (G1) who has been traveling with her to Monster High (location) (G1).

Casta is a close friend of Catty Noir (G1), a fellow but younger singer who has put her career on pause to return to a regular life. Supposedly, Casta also is close with her fellow band members, The Spells. She is also best friends with Operetta (G1).

Notes & Trivia

Casta's design draws from the Wicked Witch of the West, and her stage name is inspired by Beyoncé's Sasha Fierce.

Casta's green skin and mole are done to make her resemble the Wicked Witch of the West from MGM's 1939 adaption of "The Wizard of Oz". However, MGM holds a copyright on the shade of green skin used and the mole placement, so both of these were changed in Casta's design (along with making her mole look like more of a beauty mark). Casta having a broomstick also makes her closer resemble that witch; however, it was a common folkloric staple of the witch even before the film.
Fierce is her stage name, her real name is Casta Cauldronello.
The name Casta Fierce is inspired by Sasha Fierce, an onstage alter-ego of Beyoncé. Her hair is even styled the same way as Beyoncé's was in the video clip of "Single Ladies", which is a song released as part of the I Am... Sasha Fierce album. The Spells are a parody of Beyoncé‘s former band Destiny’s Child.
