Casey Cooke is a character and the protagonist of the Split  and Glass (Sequence), american psychological horror-thriller film written and directed by M. Night Shyamalan.

Casey Cooke a young girl with a traumatic past and a history of self-harm, who is kidnapped by "Dennis", one of Kevin's personalities. Is an emotionally-withdrawn teenager, having been molested as a young child by her uncle John, who became her legal guardian after her father's death. While hanging out with her classmates Claire and Marcia, the three are kidnapped by Kevin Wendell Crumb, a man suffering from dissociative identity disorder. Kevin has been evaluated by psychiatrist Dr. Karen Fletcher, who discovered he formed multiple personalities as a means to cope with abuse from his obsessive-compulsive mother. While Kevin appears otherwise stable, Dr. Fletcher has identified 23 distinct personalities within Kevin; in his mind, these personalities sit in chairs in a room, waiting for their turn "in the light" (controlling Kevin's body) as directed by "Barry", the dominant personality. She has also found that Kevin's physiology changes when a new personality comes into the light. Recently, "Barry" has refused to allow "Dennis" or "Patricia" their turns, in part due to "Dennis"' voyeuristic tendencies and obsessive–compulsive disorder, and that both appear to worship "The Beast", a yet-seen 24th personality. Regardless of which personality is controlling Kevin, Dr. Fletcher can call forth Kevin's own personality by speaking his full name to him.

Kevin takes the teenagers to his underground quarters, and secures them in a cell. They recognize his personality disorder, and Claire attempts to use this against Kevin to escape, but caught by "Dennis" and locked away separately from the others. Over several days, Kevin leaves them locked up while he goes off to work and attends appointments with Dr. Fletcher. During these meetings, Dr. Fletcher recognizes that "Dennis" has seemingly taken over the dominant personality from "Barry", though tries to act as "Barry" to fool her. She comes to discover that an incident a few days before, where two teenaged girls dared "Dennis" to put his hands on their breasts, may have triggered "Dennis" to take over. Dr. Fletcher suspects Kevin, as "Dennis", is responsible for the three missing teenagers.

During this time, Casey befriends "Hedwig", one of Kevin's personalities of a young boy. She gets "Hedwig" to let her out of her cell to see his bedroom, believing there may be a means of escape through "Hedwig"'s window, but finds it is only a drawing of one. She is able to convince "Hedwig" to give her a walkie-talkie, but before she can use it to call for help, "Patricia" takes over Kevin's body, and subdues Casey.

Dr. Fletcher decides to make a unannounced visit to Kevin's quarters. She arrives and discovers Claire in her cell, but before she can do anything, "Dennis" catches her, and injects her with a sedative and secures her in a separate room. He then leaves, but while out, "The Beast" personality takes over, giving Kevin super-human abilities. Dr. Fletcher comes to long enough to write out Kevin's full name on a piece of paper before "The Beast" returns and kills her. "The Beast" then attacks and kills Claire and Marcia, and starts to eat them.

Casey comes to and finds Dr. Fletcher's body and her note. "The Beast" approaches her, but she calls out his name, bringing Kevin forth. He begs her to kill him with his shotgun, but shortly thereafter "The Beast" personality takes hold again. Casey tries to shoot him, but the bullets have no effect, and she escapes out of his quarters into underground tunnels, eventually locking herself in a small caged area. "The Beast" finds her and is about to pull the bars open to attack her, but sees faded scars across her body, a sign of her past emotional turmoil. Declaring his plans to rid the world of the "untouched", those whose hearts are impure because they have never suffered in their lives, he considers Casey to be "pure" and spares his, disappearing from the tunnels.

Sometime later, Casey is rescued and learns she was being held at the Philadelphia Zoo, where Kevin had been an employee. Casey is asked by a police officer if she is ready to return home with her uncle. She hesitates to answer. In another hideout, "Dennis", "Patricia", and "Hedwig" exert collective control over Kevin's body and admire the power of "The Beast" and their plans to change the world. In a diner, patrons listen to the media coverage of Kevin's crimes, for which he has been nicknamed "The Horde". One of the patrons notes the similarity between Kevin and a criminal who was arrested 15 years prior. The man sitting next to her, David Dunn, reminds the patron that the criminal's name was "Mr. Glass".
