Description
Sasha Braus hailed from Dauper village in Wall Rose's southern territory. Growing up in a hunter tribe, she witnessed food scarcity and intensified competition with refugees after Wall Maria's fall. Arguments with her father over sharing hunting grounds and his willingness to adapt traditions fueled her rebellion, motivating her military enlistment.
Ranking 9th in the 104th Cadet Corps, she earned the nickname "Potato Girl" after stealing and gnawing on a pilfered potato as Keith Shadis addressed the cadets during initiation. Punished by running until collapsing, she later accepted bread from Christa Lenz. Sasha initially concealed her rural accent with formal speech, drawing criticism from Ymir. Christa defended Sasha's right to speak as she wished, while Ymir insisted she embrace her true self without shame. Her unconventional intuition and hunting skills complicated group coordination, yet she demonstrated courage in crises, like rescuing Christa from thieves on a wilderness exercise.
During an 849 mock drill in Trost District, Commander Pyxis orchestrated a cook-off where Sasha competed against Jean Kirschtein. She tracked, killed, and presented a wild boar as pork steak. Though Pyxis praised her dish, he declared Jean's humble omelet the winner, teaching Sasha that overreliance on meat blinded her to other culinary possibilities, leading to reconciliation with Jean.
In the Battle of Trost, Sasha stole meat from officers' provisions to share with comrades, boosting morale by envisioning livestock farming after reclaiming Wall Maria. When the Colossal Titan breached the gate, she saved Samuel Linke-Jackson from falling off Wall Rose. Later, stranded without gas for her vertical maneuvering equipment, she joined Mikasa Ackermann's charge to retake the supply headquarters, where she failed to kill a Titan properly and was rescued by Mikasa.
Despite the Survey Corps' high mortality rate, Sasha joined. On the 57th expedition, her hunting knowledge proved valuable when she identified the Female Titan's cry as a distress signal. She participated in evacuating villages after Wall Rose's breach, saving a child from a Titan in her home village using a bow and arrow.
By 854, Sasha served as a sharpshooter during the Survey Corps' raid on Liberio in Marley. While composed against soldiers, she hesitated to shoot Gabi Braun, a civilian child, resulting in her death. Her legacy endured through Niccolo, a Marleyan chef who credited Sasha with inspiring his culinary passion and saving him from hatred during wartime.
