## Biography

### History

Not much is known about Sasappis as of now. It is known he belongs to the Lenape Native Americans of the Northeastern United States, but he does seem to be the wisest among the ghosts, possibly from being one of the oldest, second only to Thorfinn, who he considers a friend.

In the episode The Tree, he would make a mark on a tree of every time he said hi to Shiki.

He respected the living at first, later becoming convinced to haunt the new residents out because after Jay walked through him twice in one minute. However, his opinion of them has changed back to respect. Although he is constantly reminding the other ghosts of events from their lives, he has befriended Sam, often imparting her tokens of knowledge, and even Jay, who helped him try to woo his old love, Shiki.

In the episode Ghostwriter, he tells Sam that he wanted to be a storyteller. His dad didn't think it was a good idea and he should have done something "safer" like hunter or warrior. His father's fears got in his head. All his worry transferred onto him, and when it was finally the week of the fall harvest ceremony, where he was supposed to tell stories for the first time, Sasappis got scared. His father gave him a pep talk and gave him an eagle feather to give him the strength he needed. He never got a chance to tell a story and died before the day he was supposed to give it. He tells a story to the ghosts.

### Death

So far, nothing is known about Sasappis's death. He has no outward evidence of it (like Flower and Pete).

## Appearance

Sasappis is a Lenape man with long black hair and brown eyes dressed in the traditional breechclouts of men of his time. His hair is pulled half back with feathers in the back and shells braided into locks on the right side. He wears several long white and coral necklaces made of shells and a bandolier bag on his chest. He also wears leggings and moccasins.

## Personality

He likes to see how things go before taking action in Weekend From Hell, when he'd rather watch what Jay did high rather then get Sam.
