Life has been relatively ordinary for Cassandra Gilbert, up until the car crash that killed her parents, and almost claimed her life.
But being the older twin sister of Elena Gilbert is about to get difficult. Vampires. Werewolves. Hybrids. Witches...
- Psionics: Cassandra Gilbert acquired psionic powers through her DNA as a result of being a descendant of Ida. These powers manifest themselves as reddish, glowing energy currents and mist-like shapes from her hands. When using her telepathic abilities, Cassandra's irises glow a dark red color. When using her telekinetic abilities, her irises glow a bright red color. Cassandra's powers are reliant on movement and focus, which means her enemies or opponents can stop her from using her powers by disrupting her focus or restricting her movements. Cassandra's powers are magical in nature, as she draws energies from other dimensions. However, she has never received formal training with her powers, so they are more chaotic and unrefined.

- Psionic Energy Manipulation: Cassandra can project energy blasts, streams, waves and bolts of her own psionic and telekinetic energy, allowing her to hit, push/pull or blow away her targets, potentially exerting enough force to destroy them. This energy manifests in any shape or form, outlining her telekinetic spheres of influence, as the energy is visible in a reddish color. When her energy hits a target, she can use her telekinesis to inflict further damage.
- Sometimes, Cassandra will lose control of her powers due to emotional turmoil.

- Telekinesis: Cassandra has the ability to move, levitate and otherwise manipulate objects using her psionic energy in a remote manner without the need for her energy to first be projected from her hands. Cassandra uses this energy to affect and control molecules and particles, allowing her to fully control matter and energy. Cassandra started training this power by moving wooden blocks around. Cassandra pulled them apart with her power, and suspended them in the air.
- Her telekinesis is powerful enough to break bones and tear muscles.
- Flight: Cassandra is able to use this power to move through the air and simulate flight, in order to hover and safely float back to the ground. The use of this power manifests as a blast of psionic energy expelled from her hands onto the ground to propel herself up in the air, with a second blast used to slow her momentum as she approaches ground allowing her to land safely. It operates more like an enhanced leap, thanks to the force of gravity pushing her down.
