Element: Water
Dream: To find her sisters and expose her family for what they really are
Home: Louisoix is one of the more prosperous islands, known for its upscale fancy buildings and metaphorical streets paved with gold bring a sort of upscale 16th century england feel. Anyone from Louisoix carries weight with just their family's name from the most illustrious of soldiers and warriors, to the most prestegious of merchants and scholars. Among everyone on the island there are five families who's name carries the most weight on the island and nothing happens without their say so, the Primwells, The Branwens, the Lamblyns, the Hawkfords, and the Arntons. As far as an island full of rich people go, they live up to the stereotype. While most are like this, there are those few who stray from this stereotype.
Gimmicks: Sasha uses a staff as her primary weapon. Like most magic users from her home, she has recieved training in the arcane. While not proficient in close quarters combat, she has managed to find other ways to use it. it is used as a catalyst to channel her magic through and give it a more controlled use enhancing her precision. mainly for ranged combat and making defensive spells easier to cast, she has been known to whack people with it.
Personality: The standard stereotype most people would think of when they see a wealthy person would most likely be uptight with a holier than thou attitude, a prude as well. Someone who would turn their nose up even at the most helpless of beggars, especially someone from Louisoix, someone with the primmest and proper of attitudes, Sasha is none of these things. When not in the proper situation it calls for, she can be heard laughing and sometimes even be making the dirtiest of jokes, using foul language, and everything in between most of what is the influence of her aunt. She has never been one to consider herself above others despite her upbringing and will help other if she can and sees fit to do so. Coming from a wealthy family has its advantages as well as its disadvantages and with her self-proclaimed independence, it would be more of a hinderance. She will often avoid the conversation of her past if she can.
Background: Sasha's story begins like any other wealthy child's story. She grew up as a sheltered child, never really knowing what the world was like outside of her little bubble known as her island, yet sometimes she felt even sheltered from the island. There were various secrets about her family she had never been told about for what would seem like a good reason. The only connection she had to the outside world was through her skyfaring Aunt whom she was the closest to. She would tell her stories of things people could only dream of the Tyragrand had to offer and the things she encountered during her travels. People, animals, plants, she told her everything and Sasha wanted to be just like her aunt. Being the heir to the second richest family in all of Louisoix however, did not bode well for her dream. She was meant to breathe royalty, think like royalty, and act like royalty, which meant being the good little heiress she was supposed to be. The only thing she had to look forward to that did not involve her lineage was learning magic.
She would train with her aunt every morning at the crack of dawn in her element. Learning different spells, hand signs, and various other methods to use. By the time she became an adolescent, she had grown tired of always being in the dark about everything, she craved adventure and thrills, she hated being stuck on the island. Fate, however, has a funny way of showing itself and those who are not careful get what they wish for. Three days after her twenty-second birthday, she had begun to come across rumors of her father having two illegitimate daughters before her birth. Naturally, when she had confronted her father on this matter, Unbeknownst to her mother of course, but her father would not tell her the truth. When she confronted her aunt, she simply dodged the question and when she had realized she was not going to get a straight answer and decided to take matters into her own hands.
One late night, she snuck into her family's archives dug through for information. She had found what she was looking for, the identities of her two older siblings and more, more than what she had hoped to find. The unnerving story of how her family, as well as the other families, accumulated their wealth off of the suffering of others. Everything from the horrible treatment of the indentured servants down to outright slavery, murder, and everything in between. It sickened her that her own family was capable of these things, yet she would be able to do nothing about it. Upon her exit, she was caught by the guards and none other than her father. Realizing she had uncovered everything about what made the Branwens who they were, he knew she would not be silent about it. Not taking the chance, he had her arrested on false charges, charges that would keep anyone in Ziggurat for the rest of days after calling in a few favors from the 13. To keep her imprisonment a secret, she was stricken as studying abroad and transported to ziggurat island. He had her name changed and told her if she wanted to live as long as possible she had better keep who she was a secret.
Inventory: even though it was confiscated, She has her staff and the robes she normally wears
