Sasha kom Trikru is a character created by Am

## Appearance

Sasha is a very slim but tall girl, standing at almost six feet. She is only about one hundred pounds as she is very small in all regards besides her height. She has beautiful long black hair, that can often look much lighter, like a brunette color, due to sunlight and different lighting. She has pure green eyes and, though they are often covered due to the ideals of perfection, has a very freckled face, mostly covering her cheeks and nose. She has many warrior tattoos for the kills she has acquired among other reasons, mostly covering her back.

Sasha's clothing is pretty much the standard clothing for most warriors. It is comfortable and easy to move in, but definitely tight over baggy. She often has an array of different weapons attached to her person. When there isn't a risk of needing to fight, she'll definitely cut down the weapon accessories and definitely knows how to dress formally, as well. If she is just sitting around and living, over going to meetings or fighting, she'll usually just go for a cargo pant type of bottoms and a jacket over a simple shirt.

## Personality

Sasha is strong. She has definitely been through a lot and her strength is an obvious product of that. She doesn't underestimate herself and she never lets others push her around or underestimate her either, like she used to when she was younger. She is very resourceful and resilient and tries to push herself to fight through anything and everything. This contributes to the recklessness she can have as well, however. She can definitely be a bit impulsive sometimes, especially when she has already jumped on doing something and decided she was going to do it. Even though she means well most of the time, she usually doesn't know where to stop or when it might not be the best to continue with a task. She is pretty selfless most of the time and does almost everything for others over herself. She usually needs some convincing to do something for herself, especially if someone else needs something from her. Sasha tries to put up the front that she's fine with everything and doesn't need help. She acts like she isn't scared and this mindset honestly makes her pretty brave and has driven away past fears, though she definitely still isn't fearless. However, as long as she is with other people, especially other warriors, she puts up this fearless front, which is naturally a bit fake. Despite this, she very openly resents and doesn't believe the whole "love is weakness" motto of the grounders. This could most definitely be due to the lack of love she received as a child and how much she cares for her own loved ones. She can often be jokingly cocky with people she's close with if she won in a duel, or even with the enemy after winning. She doesn't like to provoke unnecessary fights, but if a battle was already started and she won, she definitely isn't above bragging slightly. The young woman is very loyal to both her people and her commander, as well as her loved ones, even though those things could end up colliding one day, causing her to have to choose. She doesn't think about that and just leaves off with expressing loyalty for both of them. She definitely has slightly jealous tendencies and she'll call things out when they make her angry or if she finds them unfair.

## Early Life

Sasha was born in a small Trikru village to a woman who very little is known about. The commander at that current time, heda Archi kom Yujleda, had had a bored affair with the Trikru woman, making Sasha his daughter. Her mother didn't keep her hidden in Trikru for long and as soon as she was old enough to safely travel, she took her baby to Polis for Archi to meet. Her mother intended to get Archi to claim Sasha in a way and pronounce the girl as his daughter. While he believed the woman's words were truthful, he killed her seconds after having one of his advisors take the baby from her arms. Deciding it would be too chaotic to raise a baby in Polis and worried about how that may change his appearance, Archi sent his daughter to live with a well respected and trusted family in Trikru.

The family who hosted Sasha was very kind and they grew close to the little girl, treating her like their own child. The warrriors, Ursula and Westley, also had their own child, a son only a year older than Sasha. Kylo kom Trikru, their son, and Sasha grew up like siblings and got along very well. However, Sasha was called back to Polis when she was six years old to begin training, so they no longer got to see each other as much.

Upon her return to her father, it didn't take long for Archi to realize he had been naive in simply assuming his daughter would be a nightblood. As soon as he learned of Sasha's regular red blood, he was livid. He resented his daughter in a way after this, often telling her very hurtful things, including claiming her mother must have been a liar because there was no way he would have a red blooded child. Sasha very much missed living with Kylo's family and found that her visits back to their village weren't enough for her.

These visits back to Trikru to what Sasha considered her real family became less and less as Archi forced his daughter into training with the natblidas, his potential successors. He lived in ignorance that his daughter wasn't truly a nightblood by making her train with and like them. Through this, Sasha found friends and more people who genuinely cared about her. The flamekeeper, Mavis kom Trikru, grew attached to all the children she cared for and trained, and this included Sasha, despite her blood.

Sasha also grew close with some of the training nightbloods. As they realized she wasn't like them, some of them grew to start resenting her, hating that she was allowed to train with them. However, some were just as welcoming as their fleimkepa. Iris kom Trikru and her grew very close as they trained together and they often partnered in sparring together.

When Sasha was eight, a baby with pure black blood arrived in Polis, named Astaria kom Azgeda. The young girl was so drawn to the baby, though unsure why. She helped Mavis and the other flamekeepers take care of the child often, because she could get away with missing training more than the actual natblidas could. She began to view the child as a little sister and when Astaria was finally old enough to train with them all, Sasha helped her when she joined the older nightbloods, like Iris.

A few short years before her father's death, a boy named Belmar kom Trikru was brought to Polis. Belmar was a peaceful soul and he was another of the few nightbloods who didn't judge her for her blood color. However, Iris and Belmar grew very close as time passed and Sasha found herself growing slightly jealous. She never got that as a child. Iris and her were just friends so it shouldn't matter. She only realized afterwards that that was not exactly the case. As Belmar and her grew older, they definitely began to clash more.

When Sasha was still only a child, she was kidnapped by Azgeda warriors, on orders from the Ice Queen. This being prior to the formation of the coalition, Azgeda's intentions were to pull Archi to Polis to retrieve his daughter to weaken him or take him down. However, Archi sent messengers straight back saying he would not be arranging for the freedom of his daughter. Some of the Ice Queen's little minions heard talk of it and brought the dreadful news to the girl, taunting her with it. Her time in Azgeda was mentally and physically tolling and she really tries to block out most of the things that happened during it. She lost track of time when eventually the woman she had declared her honorary mother, Ursula kom Trikru, Kylo's mother, came to rescue her. This cost the woman her life, which put a lot of guilt on Sasha's shoulders.

Sasha's life in the Polis tower was not all it was made out to be. Archi was very neglectful and at times abusive and she never really understood what she was doing. Her confusion and anger only grew as she realized that Archi had Iris around often, making her his second. Sasha grew jealous of her and seemed to believe that he was trying to replace her as his child with Iris.

She soon realized the childish thinking of that when she learned her father was treating her best friend the way she herself was also being treated. Iris was enduring a lot of abuse from her father and Sasha's resentment towards Archi continued to grow. Combining the treatment of her and Iris with the way he left her behind in Azgeda to be taunted and tortured, she truly grew to hate her father. She started witnessing the way Archi treated Iris and could see the blood lust in her friend's eyes as she took what he did. One way or another, the two spent a night talking and decided that Archi needed to die. Sasha helped plan it until it was honestly the perfect crime. She even watched as Iris killed her father. There was a small feeling of sadness and guilt, however she was mostly relieved and the two of them vowed never to talk about it.

After Archi's death, it was time for the Conclave. Despite the way he trained her, Sasha would obviously not be included in battling for the position of commander. However, she did have her mind set on agreeing with who he supported as his successor. Sasha knew Iris was meant to be the next commander and that if anyone deserved it, it was her. In a twist of events, Iris died, her body never even being found and Belmar kom Trikru was declared the next commander. Sasha was heartbroken and crushed with grief and, as a warrior, she was loyal to Belmar, but that didn't make her particularly happy with him being the commander over Iris.

Belmar got Kylo a position as his main healer in Polis and this left Sasha ecstatic to be with her brother in her home and continue to train as a warrior and go into a battle. However, this didn't last forever, as Belmar eventually had a different plan for Sasha. Despite their quarrels, they mostly trusted each other, and so Belmar asked Sasha to become an informant of his to spend time in Trikru and report information back to them. The idea of leaving Polis and leaving behind everyone she loved--Kylo, Astaria, Mavis, etc.--was painful to Sasha, but she eventually agreed because she knew it would be for the better of the coalition.

## Throughout the Series

### Season One

In the beginning of the season, Sasha was not pictured and not talked about. Her first appearance was in episode six. She had traveled to Polis alongside Trikru chief, Thomas kom Trikru, at Belmar kom Trikru's request. This was both for a very important meeting and for her to report back recent information from Trikru. During the meeting, that was held with all the nightbloods, all of the clan ambassadors and chiefs, and several trusted and skilled warriors, it was revealed that Astaria kom Azgeda was captured and being held by the Sky People, breaking their treaty. The meeting agreed on the terms of punishment Skaikru would face and the warriors, led by Belmar, were off to retrieve the girl.

On the way to the dropship, the group ran into Brenner Hayes, one of the delinquents, bringing Astaria back to Polis. Brenner was taken prisoner and Astaria was rushed back to Polis by Belmar. Sasha stayed beside her honorary sister's side the whole way back and to the infirmary in the Polis tower.
