Sabrina Y'Wixwun

Sabrina Y’Wixwun is a Kalubian musician, and former guitarist of the Kalubian metal group “Þun’nzaı Ka’aı” (The Heavy Spirits). She is known for her intense, fast-paced legato style and melody-driven songwriting.

## Life

### Early Life

Sabrina Y'Wixwun was born and raised in Unifijž, Kalubio. While her exact age is unknown, she was definitely born before 1965 GHC since she was a Kalubian child conscript in the Gamian War. She is likely about the same age as Reinder or Connor. Like most conscripts, the brutal military conditioning and horrors of the conflict caused her to return home emotionally broken.

As a means of coping with her mental illness, Sabrina turned to the tspanyts'simki (essentially a Kalu guitar). She became self-taught on the instrument, often spending hours a day practicing to escape her life and the turmoil of the region in the midst of the Kalubian Revolution.

Sabrina would go on to complete her primary schooling, and enroll at DP-SEI to further pursue studies in psychology, an emerging field of prominence in Kalubio following spikes of "demons" among Gamian War veterans.

### Life with the Þun’nzaı Ka’aı (1981 – 1985)

Sabrina was a student at DP-SEI before being recruited into a musical project by Connor Umpa’i Felidow, who was impressed with her melodic style following a jam session (most likely involving several illicit drugs). While they initially performed mostly covers and did ad-lib at small parties, it was Sabrina’s playing that largely pushed Connor to begin writing original material for the group, as he had with Fluffball. Connor did most of the writing, but he consulted heavily with Sabrina, who had the most understanding of theory in the band next to him (arguably more).

### Post-Ka’aı (1985 – present)

Following the graduation of her bandmates and their departure from DP-SEI, Sabrina eventually dropped out to focus more on her musical abilities. She moved to Famaselle, on the northwest continent, to study musical theory and history, and became a touring musician. She was absent from Kalubio during the civil war, however she contributed to several relief concerts for the effort. Following Reinder Stuhy’s announcement of their close friend Connor Felidow’s death, Sabrina returned briefly to Kalubio to perform an acoustic memorial show in memory of the fallen, especially Connor and Aiza’ak Katzjung. She had Reinder briefly join her on stage for covers of “My Soul Unravelled” and “The Demon,” two of the group’s fan-favourite songs.

## Appearance

Sabrina is a dark grey fox with red hands and forearms, ears, feet, and tail tip. She frequently wears tiny, soft blue satin bows on her legs and head when performing on stage.

## Personality

Sabrina is often more reserved than the rest of her bandmates while performing, preferring to let her playing show her emotions. One of signature "moves" was the "enthralling," where she would appear to space out on stage while performing complex sequences. Unbeknownst to most other than her bandmates, most of these were her reliving of traumatic flashbacks sustained during the Gamian War.

When not on stage, she is often more vocal, but still laid-back and casual with her bandmates. According to Connor, when she becomes interested in a mate, she becomes much more extroverted, almost aggressive.

## Trivia

-       Other than Connor, Sabrina has the most knowledge of “theory” playing in the band. Examples of her song-writing include the interlude to “The Demon,” the instrumental part of “Fall of Khainawok,” and the chord progression during the intro to “Abyss.”

-       Sabrina abstains from most harder drugs that her bandmates use. She does drink alcohol, as well as use cannabinoids and psychedelics on occasion though.

-       According to interview footage from Connor, Sabrina was “by far the most sexually aggressive person I ever met. She didn’t really sleep around, but when she wanted a dickin’, you bet she’d get herself one.”
