Sasha Braus hailed from Dauper Village in Wall Rose’s southern reaches, her compulsive food-hoarding and meticulously formal speech masking a self-consciousness about her rural accent. Clashing with her father over integrating Wall Maria refugees into village traditions drove her to enlist in the military defiantly, propelling her into the 104th Cadet Corps, where she secured ninth place among top graduates. Earning the moniker "Potato Girl" after pilfering a potato during a disciplinary drill—an act met with punishment—she balanced initial timidity and stress-induced blunders with emerging courage and razor-sharp intuition. Bonds with Connie Springer and Jean Kirstein bolstered her confidence, fostering teamwork that shone during a wilderness exercise where her quick actions saved a kidnapped comrade. Transitioning to the Survey Corps, Sasha transformed from a hesitant recruit into a deft sharpshooter, her childhood-honed archery skills pivotal in rescuing a child from a Titan—a moment symbolizing reconciliation with her roots. Later, a boar hunted during a cooking rivalry with Jean underscored her resourcefulness. Adopting a sniper rifle in later missions, her unwavering humanity surfaced in refusal to harm civilians, especially children. This moral stance proved fatal during a Marley operation when hesitating to shoot Gabi Braun, a young foe, led to her demise. Her death resonated deeply, notably affecting Marleyan chef Niccolo, whose culinary passion she had warmly embraced. Memories of her humor and bravery lingered, a fleeting vision of her encouraging smile during a dire mission fortifying her comrades’ resolve, cementing her legacy as both warrior and unyielding beacon of empathy.
