I can't remember who coined the name, to be honest. The person that names the tribe is just what seems to fit the best with the name itself. With a name that generic, I don't think I wrote down who was supposed to come up with the idea.

Cassy was initially more likable/heroic in the original. Her storyline hasn't changed, but I credit her rivalry with Tesla for brining out that wdge and/or "bitchiness" she got in this season. As Tesla was originally out pre-swap, her rivalry with Cassy didn't exist in the original.

She did have a rivalry with Emil originally, but I doubt it would have had the same effect as the one with Tesla did.
