THE MONSTERS AMONG US— CHARACTER SPOTLIGHT: SASHA

Hey everyone!

It’s time for another character spotlight. Another companion to Seth, and one who was my favorite character to write. For she is deep and complex, fun and upbeat but also fierce and strong. For she overcame a horrible pain, and as such is not only a bright guiding light for Seth, but she is also the pinnacle of what all humanity should strive for.

Let’s get to it.

Sasha

Found during a demon hunt in colonial Massachusetts, Sasha is Virdeus’s adopted daughter and heir to The Demonslayer Guild. In modern times, she’s over 300 years old. But just as is the case with all other members of The Guild, magic keeps her young, as she resembles a healthy twenty-six-year-old woman—but one who is far wiser.

Though wisdom, as is often the case, is derived from suffering. Prior to being found by Virdeus, Sasha was a victim of daily abuses from her biological father. A trauma which would take centuries to fully heal from and become the strong woman Seth meets along his journey.

Playful and upbeat, but also a hardened warrior with a focused mind for science, Sasha acts as a guide to Seth alongside Virdeus, after taking an interest in the demon with a trait never before seen in his kind—emotion. This interest blossoms into romantic attachment, one that Seth also falls into. Though without awareness as his continued pursuit of his beloved blinds him to what could be if only he moved on.

While Seth is ridiculed by Melphis, and lectured by Virdeus, Sasha opts to see the best in him. For you see, he’s just like her. After 300 years of life, she has had ample time to discipline her inner turmoil. But there was once a time where her emotions were as volatile as Seth’s, and along her path of growth, she’s also made plenty of mistakes.

A fact that prepares her to forgive as a catastrophe strikes The Guild.
