Sasha Blouse

Sasha Blouse, also known as Sasha Braus and Potato Girl, is a character from the Attack on Titan series.
== Charactah Account ==
Originally the inhabitant of a small hunting village, she left to join the military when an influx of refugees from Wall Maria forced the villagers to give up their traditional way of life. She tries to hide her accent by speaking very formally, and has a tendency to steal food whenever she sees it. She is considered a coward and a fool by some, but is respected for her keen instincts and warm nature.
During the crisis within Wall Rose, she returns to her village and is forced into single combat with a 3-meter class Titan. Surviving the battle, she is reunited with her enstranged father and finally gains his approval after rescuing a child. She misses out on the expedition to rescue Eren and defeat the traitors, but reunites with her comrades in the weeks that follow. Promoted into the Special Operations Squad, she is charged with protecting Eren and Historia.

== Trivia ==
* Sasha ranked fourth in the First Character Popularity Poll.
** Sasha tied with Kenny Ackerman for twenty-first in the Second Character Popularity Poll.
** Sasha tied with Moblit Berner for sixteenth in the Third Character Popularity Poll.
** Sasha ranked eleventh in the Fourth Character Popularity Poll.
* Hajime Isayama named Sasha after comedic actor Sacha Baron Cohen to reflect the fact that he intended for her to provide a comedic element to the series.
* An interview with Isayama's editor in Otomedia's October 2013 issue revealed Isayama originally intended to kill Sasha in Volume 9. However, he was persuaded to change his mind by the editor, who apparently went to the bathroom and cried when presented with the ending. This accounts for Sasha's absence during the majority of the Clash of the Titans arc, though she would later receive a stronger presence in the arc during its anime adaptation.
* The official manga guidebook features original character design sketches that show Sasha's design was originally quite different.
* Sasha's name is the Russian diminutive of “Alexander” or "Alexandra," which comes from the Greek "Alexandros," meaning "defender of humankind." "Blouse" (Brauss) comes from the German saying "in Sauß und Brauss leben," meaning "to live off the fat of the land," a phrase she herself quotes.
* She was one of the few characters to survive an encounter with a Titan without using her vertical maneuvering equipment.
* Isayama stated that there is not any food Sasha dislikes.
* Isayama revealed on his blog in 2014 that he had selected the song "Bambous" by Caravan Palace as a character song for Sasha.
* Sasha shares a birthday with Dina Fritz.
