Early life
Cassilvia Mascarpina was born in the city of Rocchierio in the Turiana Province of Caphiria. Her father is Caphiric and her mother is Cartadanian so she spent much of her youth traveling between the two countries.

Two of her early inspirations were Yonderian actress Edith le Fêvre and Caphiric actress Vana-Mara Madelloni.
