History


Date of Birth: March 16th, 1989
Home: Lewiston, New York United
Family: Unknown (orphan)
Chrysalis: Personal Tragedy (she grew up on the Tuscaroa Reservation in upstate New York north of Niagara Falls, family unknown as she’d been abandoned as a baby at the reservation by a Cherokee mother; her best friend, Salali, was a Tuscaroa girl at the reservation; in their teens, they dropped out of school and traveled to Oklahoma to seek out Sasa’s parents, and they became involved in a state initiative to teach indigenous culture as guest speakers at elementary schools, but overzealous Christian bigots not only ran them out of the towns where they tried to work but attacked them by trying to stone them to death; the madness and danger of it drove both she and Sasa into Chrysalis and the flare of Medicine magic drove the zealots back), 2010
Mentor: none
The Test: Trial by Wit (Salali wanted revenge or to at least teach them a lesson, but Sasa amusingly is the one who urged forbearance and patience; for they realized they both now existed as something more than mortal humans, and together engaged in vision quests to uncover more; there they encountered their respective ancestors as well as guiding totems, promising to guide and aid them--Magnolia chose Sasa because of her beauty, serenity, and grace, as well as her commitment to spreading greater understanding; along with Magnolia manifested a tiny Ladybug-dream nicknamed Ulitsa)
Comrades: Salali Amadahy, Nika Casiguaya Jasmine, Huang Lifen, Usha Shastri, Yewande Temitope, Iria Tapihana, Adaeza Osuma
Key Event #1: Awe & Wonder (through those vision quests, Sasa realized it wasn’t just “whites” but also the European fae who were largely responsible for the fate of the Nunnehi, and she plotted with Salali on how to help rectify the injustice, who to lend their weight behind to achieve greater success for the People)
Transition: Shift in Nature (Queen Serena appeared before them both thunderously in her majestic power and also deferentially in a reverential bow—the Sidhe invited both Nunnehi to join her Ensemble, because through that large collective they could broker new deals that would be honored with Serena’s support; the only question then was if they could trust Serena; Sasa implored her ancestors’ guidance, and they returned an affirmation to the idea, so she agreed and joined Serena in California, restarting some of her educational outreach while networking the Kithain nobles)

Vision


Magnitude: Sasa’s vision reaches back roughly a century.
Details: She recalls past lives as a Yunwi Tsundsi who always worked closely with her Cherokee people on their reservations out west, which is why she suggested she and Salali look for her parents there first.

Significant Others


The Shanghaied Ensemble of Royalty is a massive collective of "fairy princesses" to which she blithely and merrily belongs. Visit this link for the full skinny:

Weakness
Fire Runs Deep


Sasa comes off as the sensible, gentle, and patient one of the pair, between she and Salali. In truth, Sasa excels at keeping her fury on low burn, plotting and scheming payback for every slight.

Likelihood of Corruption


Average.

Sasa may have a vindictive streak (like all Yunwi Tsundsi) but she's also a generous soul.
