Nenessandra

Nenessandra is the femslash ship between Nene and Cassandra from the Pico's School fandom.

Canon
Interactions between Nene and Cassandra are few and far between in the Pico series, with most of them being negative.

In Pico's School
In the original 1999 Flash game, Nene and Cassandra's relationship is far from friendly. They never interact on screen, but the school shooting that Cassandra causes shocks and traumatizes Nene to the point that she asks her friend, Pico, to kill her and put her out of her misery.

Fanon
Despite Nene and Cassandra having zero romantic or even remotely positive interactions in the original game, Nenessandra is quite a popular ship in the Pico's School fandom. It is the second most popular ship for both Nene and Cassandra, only surpassed by its most common rival ships PicNene and Picandra.

In the earlier days of the Pico's School fandom, Nene and Cassandra were much more commonly depicted as romantic rivals competing for Pico in a Betty and Veronica dynamic; yet recently it has become more popular to ship them together. In rarer cases, they could both be shipped with Pico as a poly ship.

The main appeal of the ship comes from Nene and Cassandra's dissimilarity, as they are polar opposites in both appearance and personality - in particular, Nene's girly appearance and Cassandra's gothic appearance easily fit into the "femme lesbian x butch lesbian" dynamic, with Nene as the femme lesbian and Cassandra as the butch lesbian.

Typically Cassandra is depicted as a cold and aloof person whose icy exterior is "melted" by sweet and bubbly Nene. Less commonly, they may be shipped in an "Enemies to Lovers" dynamic similar to Picandra.

The earliest instance of Nene and Cassandra being shipped together is in Pico 1.5: Casandra's Revenge, a fan-made spin-off to the original Pico's School where the story is told from Cassandra's perspective. In a brief scene where Cassandra rummages through her pockets, she finds a condom that she keeps "just in case Nene's ever up for some."

PhantomArcade, the main artist for Friday Night Funkin' , posted a drawing on Twitter of Nene and Cassandra both covered in kiss marks, presumably after kissing each other. This post made Nenessandra grow in popularity in the Friday Night Funkin' fandom and solidified its popularity in the Pico's School fandom as well.
