PLAY-BY: N/A
EXPY SOURCE: Sasha Braus (Attack on Titan Junior High)
FULL APPEARANCE: Sasha is a kid of average height and a definitive lack of meat on her bones, which is surprising considering her voracious appetite. Reddish brown hair grows long, well past her shoulder blades. She typically has it tied back in a ponytail - nothing too crazy. Big and bright brown eyes add a chipper element to her small, rounded face. Her skin is decorated in any number of cuts and bruises from whatever venture her childhood happened to inflict upon her. She is quite clumsy, after all.
PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY: Sasha is simple-minded and eccentric - often unaware of the hot water she sometimes lands herself in until punishment is exacted. Her timid nature gnaws at the courage she lacks. Sasha buckles under pressure, often making several mistakes when she feels too many eyes or heavy expectations upon her. For a child she is surprisingly intuitive and prone to make observations unnoticed by others.
She has an incredible appetite. Her Turns of being holdless have left her with the knowledge of how it feels to be riddled with hunger, and thus she gratuitously devours everything offered to her, no matter how disgusting it tastes (or how full she might be). Even if Sasha is busting at the seams, she will leave her plate spotless. Eating provides her with gratification and relief, particularly in times of stress, and is often the only thing to put her mind at ease. So great is her compulsion to feast that she's proven willing to steal food from storage and others. She is very rarely seen without something edible in her hands. Or her pockets.
Food is her security blanket, and Sasha is likely to panic if in a situation where she isn't sure where her next meal might come from.
Sasha is proud and protective of her family and where she came from, rising to the defense of their good name despite their past of holdlessness. She doesn't consider their status to be a bad thing - and why should it? They were all basically a big family, depending on each other for love and shelter. Thus she can be very snippy if anybody targets them - even to her elders.

BIRTHPLACE: Holdless Camp
HISTORY: Sasha was born to holdless parents. She has three other siblings. The nature of her family's identity has left them shunned from the outside world, rejected from others for reasons she doesn't fully comprehend. They were constantly on the move, struggling to survive in what were sometimes harsh conditions. When Sasha was 4, a severe blight struck down the agriculture of High Reaches Hold and surrounding locations, making produce they procured via thievery (or a lucky trade from those with some compassion) almost nonexistent. Gradually that plant-plague made foraging difficult as it spread into the edible foliage in the woods and grasslands. Game became scarce. For a very long time, Sasha went to bed on an empty stomach, sustained on meager scraps that her starving parents insisted should go to their children instead of them. They were lucky to make it through the winter.
During this time, her family came in contact with other holdless, with other children. They formed a pact and joined hands in travel, splitting rations and lending hands to one another as though they were family. Eventually the blight came to an end. As she aged, Sasha was taught to make traps for wild game and forage by her parents and other holdless in their camp.
At some point during the following Turn, the camp made its way into High Reaches Weyr territory. The timing could be easily seen as a blessing, for their location made their subsequent rescue a reality. Winter sprung onto them like a malnourished bear. If the Weyr had not come to their aid aloft on the wings of dragons or the backs of whers, the lot of them would have been buried beneath the snow.
Sasha, her three siblings, and her parents were whisked away to High Reaches Weyr with the rest of their camp.
