* DarkAndTroubledPast: After questioning how several animal-based people of the cast of ''Decrypto'' can show themselves as who they are just fine, she reveals that she was essentially experimented on, and is on the run from those people for years.
-->'''Cass:''' So I have to ask...I can't go anywhere without being chased to get tested on. How do you guys do it? I have to hide...but you all have your species in your name. Looking at you, Tiger.\\
'''Hitomi:''' Oh gross, gross gross ''gross.'' Your world stinks.\\
'''Cass:''' Yeah, I know. And the worst part? They're after me because I escaped. They bred me...turned me into...what I am, and basically just tested me out and stuck me in a cage for 3 years or so...only escape a few years back. Now, they're just trying to find me...it puts a lot of stress on me. Just...please don't tell anyone, ok? They're probably gonna have a car set up at the studio if they even spot me here.

[[caption-width-right:156:"Original" visage, do not steal.]]
A woman who speaks in [[evil:[[pink:evil pink]]]]. Host of Murder U and Murder-free. Gained godlike power over this particular universe after being murdered in a previous murdergame, and brought all the characters to Murder-free for "funsies". Meanwhile, she's running a murdergame of her own. Played by @/{{wingedcatgirl}}.
* CameBackStrong: Due to "[[HandWave incredibly precise circumstances]]", after being murdered, she gained godlike power over the pocket dimensions containing the Murder-free and Murder U worlds.
* DirtyCoward: She claims that [[spoiler:her ''real'' reason for running Murder U and Murder-free is to gain Ideaverse power so she can destroy TM Awe]], and that she's only even attempting that because she fears she might be killed if she doesn't.
* DomainHolder: The settings of ''Murder U'' and ''Murder-free'' are her creation, and as such she has complete control and knowledge of what goes on in them -- though it has been shown that it's ''possible'' for things to escape her notice, such as when Hydroxyl was dropped off.
* EveryoneCallsHerBarkeep: Since she's [[WithholdingTheirName not telling anyone her name]], the players are stuck referring to her as "the host", "the headmistress", or vague descriptors like "the pink woman".
* HeWhoFightsMonsters: She makes clear that her primary motivation is the destruction of TM Awe. However, she accomplishes this by copying his tactic of harvesting Ideaverse power from murdergames, leading several players to accuse her of becoming just like him.
* FairPlayVillain: In ''Murder U'', she makes it quite clear that she only enforces her rules; despite being the DomainHolder who could theoretically crush anyone in an instant, she doesn't punish or even discourage those attempting to attack or rebel against her. She also makes no attempt to stop Ruby from exploiting a loophole in her rules, partly because she put that loophole there on purpose (Ruby's just taking it much further than intended).
* ItAmusedMe: Her reason for creating the Murder-free Hotel? "Funsies". [[spoiler:The ending of ''Murder U'' suggests that [[SubvertedTrope she may be lying]], and actually doing it to harvest Ideaverse power from the hotel guests' memories.]]
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: In addition to the [[EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep barkeep-type]] nicknames like "the host" and "the headmistress", [[spoiler:[[https://troublecube.net/wingedcatgirl/stories/CommissionforKira.html a side story]] reveals that she also goes by "V".]]
* PaletteSwap: Due to [[LazyArtist wingedcatgirl self-admittedly not having any art skill]], her "official" appearance is a sprite from ''VideoGame/TheWorldEndsWithYou'', recolored pink.
* PragmaticVillainy: At the end of ''Murder U'', [[spoiler:she resurrects those who died in the game.]] This isn't just her being nice and showing mercy, however -- as she explains, [[spoiler:the dead don't ''remember'', and so can't be harvested for Ideaverse power.]]
* WithholdingTheirName: When Cinderace asks her name in the murder-free AU, her only response is "... Classified."

!!The ''Murder U Too'' host
* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: The headmistress was a FairPlayVillain, but he's far more inclined to power trips. She was [[WithholdingTheirName Withholding Her Name]], while he [[NeverGivenAName legitimately doesn't have one]]. Also, she was a she, while he's a he.
* CreatingLifeIsUnforeseen: He spontaneously arose from the narrative text of the first ''Murder U'', somehow.
* PaintingTheMedium: Since he ''is'' the narrative text, he's written in first-person.
* NeverGivenAName: Somehow, he came into existence spontaneously, and nobody ever thought to name him.
