Aunt Cass is a beloved character in the Big Hero 6 movie and TV series. She is Hiro Hamada’s hardworking and supportive aunt, as well as the owner of the Lucky Cat Café. Cass has always been a loving and supportive guardian to her nephew Hiro and her late brother Tadashi’s son Baymax. She is an important member of the Big Hero 6 team and is always ready to help out in a crisis.

The Lucky Cat Café is a popular spot in San Fransokyo for food and fun. The café is home to Baymax, Hiro, and Aunt Cass, and it’s where the team comes together to plan their next adventure. The café serves up delicious food and drinks, as well as plenty of laughs.

Personality

Cass is a caring woman who loves her nephews above all else. She is very loving toward them, but knows when to be strict and firm when necessary, and can get very frustrated and stressed because of them. This is shown when she picks them up after they are released from prison. She hugs them and asks if they are okay before lecturing them semi-strictly about how much they worried her. 

Cass seems very excitable, talkative, and is usually in a happy mood. She is also understanding and did what she could to help Hiro through his depression after Tadashi’s death. She supports and encourages the decisions of Tadashi and Hiro while wanting what is best for them, as she encourages Hiro to go to college as it is what Tadashi would have wanted. Cass is proud of her nephews and is not afraid to show it.

Physical appearance:

Cass is a middle-aged, attractive woman with fair skin, green eyes, and short, brown, unkempt hair. Her everyday outfit consists of a black V-neck shirt with very short sleeves, jeans with rolled-up sleeves that show off her ankles, a black belt, and umber flats.

Appearances:

Big Hero 6

Aunt Cass does not have a very big role in the film. However, she is clearly the mother figure for both Hiro and Tadashi. She first appears when she goes to the police station to pick up her nephews after they are arrested and released on charges of involvement in illegal bot-fighting. She hugs them and asks if they are okay before proceeding to lecture them about how worried she was for them and their irresponsibility.

 Cass states how she took them in despite not knowing much about children, not being the best mother figure, and possibly needing to pick up a book on parental guidance. She then proceeds to go to the kitchen to pick up some snacks to calm her stress and goes upstairs with the family’s cat Mochi. Tadashi tries to talk Hiro out of bot-fighting before Aunt Cass eats everything in the cafe due to her stress.

She is next seen at the San Fransokyo Institute of Technology convention supporting Hiro and stating how proud she is of him and Tadashi to the audience after his display. In celebration of Hiro getting admitted into the Institute, she offers to cook dinner at the café for Hiro, Tadashi, and the rest of their friends free of charge. Tadashi asks her if he and Hiro can have some time by themselves, telling her they’ll catch up, and she accepts. However, shortly after she goes to the car with everyone else, Tadashi dies in a fire at the convention hall.

Big Hero 6: The Series:

Aunt Cass in Big Hero 6: The Series

Cass appears in the follow-up series as a recurring character, still oblivious to Hiro’s double life as a superhero. Though usually playing a minor role, she has sometimes become an unwilling participant in the schemes of various villains. For example, in “Food Fight”, Cass accidentally joins an underground cooking competition; despite her eventual love for the sport, her winning streak gets her into trouble with a rival chef/supervillain named Momakase.

Relationships:

Hiro Hamada

Cass is Hiro and Tadashi’s aunt. Hiro tends to stress her out and cause her to “stress eat” due to his illegal bot fighting, though she loves him nonetheless and vice versa. She is very supportive and proud of his abilities and was overjoyed when his Microbot exhibition won him an invitation to attend the San Fransokyo Institute of Technology.

Like Hiro, she also mourned Tadashi’s death. She would bring food to Hiro after Tadashi’s death as Hiro fell into a severe state of depression and refused to leave his room for two weeks. She tried to encourage him to go to college because Tadashi would’ve wanted it and she wanted him to recover, but he remained silent and she decided to give him space. When Hiro left his room for the first time in two weeks and he lied about going to register for classes (he was really going to catch up to Baymax), she was overjoyed and hugged him.
