Background[]
Sasha meets Anne and Marcy when they were young as the latter two are bullied by teenage girls. While futilely defend Anne and Marcy from them. They walk away as they are weirded out by her bravery. Anne and Marcy became friends with her ever since. As all 3 girls enrolled at Saint James Middle School Sasha always manipulates Anne to ditch school due to boredom. The two go together riding shop carts, doing graffiti, and playing hooky causing truancy. While chilling in the cafe Sasha convince Anne to meet with Marcy her other friend, who had found the Calamity Box in the thrift shop. Anne hesitates thinking of her parents and is late for her birthday party they planned for her but Sasha forces Anne to go with her or they will never be friends again "end of discussion". Anne complies and the two leave the cafe to meet with Marcy to steal the box. What the two didn't know is that Marcy orchestrated the two of them to leave their parents and go to other world so that Marcy can keep the two together and not apart forever. They open the box in an old park and the three girls are transported to Amphibia with Sasha arriving on Toad Tower. The toad army capture her and is imprisoned by Captain Grime. However when Giant Herons attack Sasha persuades Grime to let her set free in exchange of defending Toad Tower from these nasty creatures. While advising Grime to be more caring and kind to his soldiers in order to gain their respect in order for them to be super effective warriors. As they succeed Grime offers her a choice to be a vagabond and wander the dangerous world of Amphibia to find her friends or to be a great asset and make her second in command to his army as First Lieutenant and provide her safety and provisions to find her friends faster while she contributes on how to make Grime's toad army better and stronger. She agrees to the deal and her adventure progresses.
Sasha is a hardcore tomboy, who is somewhat of a rule-breaker, as she eagerly encouraged Anne to steal the music box back on Earth. She is a charismatic and manipulative girl. Making friends easily and able to maintain good relations with most of the soldiers who had captured her and later Captain Grime as well. She is also very persuasive. Sasha was able to persuade Grime into letting her free if she helped protect his fort against the herons, as well as advising him to be more caring and kind to his soldiers to gain their respect. This influence can also be matched with her manipulative behavior, as she was able to pressure Anne Boonchuy to steal the Calamity Box against her will. While she might seem selfish acting in such ways, she is also presented to be caring towards her friends Anne and Marcy. However she demonstrates a controlling and domineering personality. Not only that, but she is capable of striking fear into her friends, especially if they undermine her authority. However as time goes by Sasha has a change of heart when she realizes how cruel she was to her friends. It's revealed that her determination has always inspired Anne and Marcy, also that Sasha believes that by being in control she can provide her friends with success.
