What the heck could she actually add to the plot? I don't see it...
I'm not sure myself. I could make some stuff up, but I'd probably be wrong.
What I DO know, is that the creators repeatedly keep pointing to a character named Cassie. They seem to know what they are going to do with her, so I'm pretty sure she is an essential part of the plot, and I welcome it. I haven't been disappointed with a character they've introduced yet.
And I adore itscassie. I look forward to new videos from her as much as the canon videos. It's possible she may even be a plant by the creators that they will eventually embrace, as they did Gemma and Jonas - it seems to be their style for bringing in new characters, and it's a great way to do it - they can make sure they have the audiences interest before they make a character official.
If she is infact, genuine fan fiction, I still think they would do well to embrace her. She's a talented girl. She could easily take on their plot lines. I would be very sad if they brought in a different cassie to play the role. I've become very attached to itscassie, and I would love to see the Creators "canonize" her.
