* NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: She claims that working with Grime is a [[NecessarilyEvil necessary evil]] to find her friends and stay alive in Amphibia. [[spoiler:However, she reveals that the plan to execute Hop Pop was ''her'' idea and expects an understandably horrified and rebellious Anne to abide by it.]]
* ObliviouslyEvil: Sasha thinks she knows best, so it has to be her way or the highway. Because of this, Anne has no idea what a best friend is like, and is an ExtremeDoormat.

* EvilIsPetty: In "True Colors", Sasha reveals that [[spoiler:she faked having changed for the better to manipulate Anne into helping her conquer Newtopia for Toad Tower, for no other reason than to regain control over the situation and their friendship. Sasha refused to accept that Anne GrewASpine, or that Anne and Marcy found a way home without Sasha's input]].

* FalseFriend: Subverted. Sasha was a delinquent back home, and incredibly manipulative to everyone up to and including even Anne, who's her oldest friend. However, she truly does care about both Anne and Marcy, telling Grime on multiple occasions that finding them is her top priority.

** She's one to Sprig: both were Anne's best friend at one point in time, both are represented by the color pink, both have the intense desire to be needed by the people around them, often going to extreme measures to make that happen, and both want to protect the people around them (compare Sasha acting like a superhero to fend off bullies, and Sprig literally becoming one in "Spider-Sprig"). They can be impulsive and headstrong, often refusing to listen to other people's pleas to fulfill their personal goals. The main difference is that Sprig is much more open with his emotions, while Sasha struggles with communication and is much more forceful.

* DragonInChief: In many ways, she's more dangerous than Grime, due to how manipulative she is. She gives Grime ''plenty'' of advice that works, and she's more proactive than him when it comes to the frogs, especially with [[spoiler:coming up with the plan to trap the Wartwood populace so that Hop Pop can be executed. Of course, in season 2, Grime makes her a genuine friend.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/DarinDePaul

A tax collector from Toad Tower
Creator/AnnaAkana

One of Anne's classmates, and her close friend. On Anne's 13th birthday, she and Marcy got Anne to steal a magic music box, which sent all of them to Amphibia. Shortly after arriving, Sasha was captured and imprisoned by Grime. She quickly earns Grime's favor and becomes appointed as his second-in-command,
working alongside Fens him to find her lost friends and Mire.bring them back home, even if it means putting the Plantars at risk. She represents the pink gem of strength on the Calamity Box.


Added DiffLines:

* EleventhHourSuperpower: [[spoiler:In the GrandFinale, Sasha and Marcy regain their connections with their respective Calamity Gems, allowing them to fight alongside Anne to battle the Core in space.]]
* AccidentalHero: [[spoiler:As Grime points out, the duo's coup on Newtopia ends up accidentally screwing up King Andrias' evil plans of conquering every dimension with the Calamity Box. Afterwards, they try to keep the Plantars from freeing Andrias, with Sasha trying to warn them of the king's true intentions, but are unsuccessful.]]
* AceCustom: Her twin heron swords, made of pink and green metal, are only used by her. Grime implies that he bought them somewhere that presumably sells similar weapons, but given that no similar sword appears in the entire show it's possible that he had them commissioned.
* ActionSurvivor: She was perfectly capable of carrying her own weight even ''before'' Grime made her his second-in-command, as she not only plays the toads like a fiddle, but even drives back a heron attack with gymnastics from her cheer routines.
* AesopAmnesia: In "Reunion" [[spoiler:it becomes apparent to her that she's been a bad friend, and as such she lets Anne go. By her reappearance in "Toadcatching," she's back to her old ways and has to be taught this lesson again in "True Colors" in order to begin her HeelFaceTurn. WordOfGod justifies this; she does take her lesson in, but she's repressing this fact since it's easier than accepting the reality and striving to improve herself. Anne telling her this again in "True Colors" isn't so much as her forgetting this lesson beforehand, but rather finally having to face the facts.]]
* AffablyEvil: She is a genuinely manipulative person and the first lieutenant of the toad army, but she does deeply care for her friends and can be very genial.
* AffectionateNickname:
** She's called "Sash" by Anne and Marcy. A few of the toads she gets close to also call her this.
** Marcy calls her "Sashy", as heard in "Olivia & Yunan".
* AlphaBitch: Apparently, she was this back at home, being the popular girl who is apparently rich enough to throw parties, and she clearly has the snobby manipulative attitude of one. She even says she ruled the whole school -- ''and'' held the best sleepovers. She has no qualms with willingly taking part in Grime's campaign, relishing in the idea of "having some fun" with her new power as second-in-command, as it will give her the glory she had back in school. Unlike most traditional examples, she secretly partook in delinquent behavior, however. [[spoiler:This is deconstructed over time. Sasha's desire to rule over and control others ultimately drives others away, and leaves her with no one who really cares about her]].
* AnimalMotifs:
** Herons. They're presented as a dangerous, natural predators, fighting them kickstarts her climb in the toad army ranks, and the handle of her pink sword resembles one. It was a pair of herons that killed Sprig and Polly's parents, which echoes Sasha's dislike of Sprig. [[spoiler:In season 3B, Sasha sports a tiara in the shape of a heron and a clawed glove in her left hand, which only furthers the similarities]].
** Moths, the theme of the outfit Anne prepares for her for the Battle of the Bands. Moths represent change, transformation, and the natural bond between darkness and light, integrated as co-creative life forces. As moths always seem to seek the light, Sasha spends most of the series as a deeply flawed individual who, at her core, wants to do good, but [[ControlFreak her means]] are [[FreudianExcuse warped by her worldview]], and she usually ends up hurting her loved ones instead of protecting them.
** A tad more on the nose, but she is strongly associated with toads. Despite having the roughest start out of all her friends in Amphibia, she eventually comes to fit right in with their emphasis on strength and determination, traits she has in spades.
* AntiVillain: Sasha wants her and her friends to go home, but doesn't really care if she hurts a bunch of "slimy frogs" in the process. [[spoiler:Her CharacterDevelopment eventually causes her to drop the villain part, becoming an AntiHero]].
* TheAtoner: [[spoiler:She becomes this in "Turning Point". After fully coming to terms with the consequences of her actions, Sasha pledges to protect Wartwood and try to become the kind of person Anne (and subsequently Marcy) deserves to have for a friend.]]
* BadBoss: In season 2. She forces Percy and Braddock to participate in a SuicideMission, despite promising to back out if things get out of hand. [[spoiler:They decide they've had it with her, and leave her side permanently.]]
* BadassNormal: Sasha has no supernatural powers to speak of [[spoiler:after her Calamity powers were drained in the third temple]], but she is a very skilled fighter who can keep up with the best. Throughout season 3, she single-handedly organizes and leads [[spoiler:a rebellion against king Andrias, taking on his robotic soldiers with nothing but her own strength and weapons, and in the penultimate episode she not only has the upper hand, but ''dominates'' in her duel against the millennia-old Darcy, only being temporarily beaten back due to dirty tricks]].
* BeautyBrainsAndBrawn: The Brawn to Marcy's Brains and Anne's Beauty. [[spoiler: This trope is reinforced by the revelations about the Calamity Box in "A Day at the Aquarium", where the pink gemstone represents the body and is represented by the rapier.]]
* BeCarefulWhatYouSay: In one of the flashbacks in "Marcy at the Gates", as Marcy shows her clumsiness, Sasha mumbles, "One of these days, she's gonna get herself killed," which Anne finds offensive. [[spoiler:Sure enough, Marcy ''does'' get (almost) killed by Andrias literally stabbing her in the back in "True Colors"]].
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: At the end of season 2, [[spoiler:Sasha reveals she doesn't want to go home, but to stay in Amphibia as a ruthless tyrant. She gets her wish when [[EvilAllAlong King Andrias]] takes the music box, stabs Marcy, and Anne and the Plantars barely escape through a portal back to her world, leaving Sasha stranded in Amphibia... with an even bigger tyrant]].
* BecomingTheMask: In season 2, there are hints Sasha seems to genuinely enjoy being nicer to Anne, as [[spoiler:even though she's just pretending to get Anne and Marcy to help her infiltrate Newtopia, she seems to not want to hurt her. She still goes through with the coup, but the subsequent fallout with Anne breaking off their friendship and Marcy getting stabbed through the chest causes her to have a HeelRealization]].
* BerserkButton: As revealed in the episode "Olm Town Road", nothing sets Sasha's berserk button off more than dealing with stubborn olms who don't know how to do their job properly.
* BeyondRedemption: Sprig doesn’t believe Sasha is worth saving after all she's done to Anne and his family. Anne, however, refuses to give up on Sasha. [[spoiler:Until "True Colors", when Sasha reveals she faked having changed to manipulate Anne into helping her and Grime stage a coup over King Andrias and Newtopia, and Anne declares Sasha to be a horrible person and their friendship ''over''. In season 3, Sasha realizes she's become this, and as far as she knows, Anne and Marcy are as good as dead because of her. Nonetheless, she pledges to look after Wartwood for Anne and become a better person. Anne, for her part, makes it a priority to find a way back to Amphibia to save Sasha and Marcy and repair their friendship, so not all hope is lost]].
* BeingEvilSucks: [[spoiler:Doubling down on villainy costs Sasha more than she'd like to admit. By the end of season 2, Sasha has alienated everyone who cares about her aside from Grime, and all she has to show for it is being right back where she started on the food chain. She begins to realize this as basically everyone Sasha knows decides that putting up with her abuse is not worth it. Even after ascending the ranks to the top of the toad army and briefly overthrowing King Andrias, Sasha's still miserable and lonely, and realizes she never really wanted the things she burned all her bridges to get. And this is ''before'' she discovers that Andrias is evil at the worst possible moment and [[CassandraTruth Anne is justifiably unwilling to listen to her until it's too late]], leading to much of the toad army being massacred, Anne barely escaping and having to harbor the Plantars as refugees a world away on Earth, and Marcy being mortally wounded and only surviving because she is subsequently imprisoned in a {{People Jar|s}} to be [[DemonicPossession puppeteered]] by a [[GreaterScopeVillain greater enemy]]]].
* BitchInSheepsClothing: [[ZigZaggingTrope Zig-zagged]]. Sasha's kindness is ''usually'' a means to an end of getting what she wants, and even her friendship with Anne is pretty exploitative. However, she does genuinely care for Anne and Marcy as friends, but wants that friendship on her terms, not theirs. [[spoiler:In "True Colors", she gloats that she only pretended to change to manipulate Anne into helping her conquer Newtopia for Toad Tower, demonstrating that she isn't willing to change. However, the events of that episode help to shock her into a HeelRealization, and she becomes genuinely nice from season 3 on.]]
* BodyMotifs: Eyes, [[spoiler:like Marcy]], meaning there's more to her than what we simply see at surface level. The times we see her manipulating Anne in season 1 are punctuated by her eyes hardening and the frame darkening as it narrows inward. She's Grime's right hand, and in season 2 she sports a stylized eye -- the symbol of his rebellion -- on her right pauldron. [[spoiler:Her resolution to become a better person and act as the protector of Wartwood is marked by her eyes opening wide and the frame becoming clearer, in an inversion of her original, toxic mindset.]]
* BrattyTeenageDaughter: She acts like one around Grime when she doesn't get her way and the best example of this is when he tells her to be on her best behavior around the Plantars when invited over for dinner.
* BreakTheHaughty: [[spoiler:Her time in Amphibia forces Sasha to learn that she can't always be in control of her friendships. The two times she attempts to control it ruins her relationship with Anne. She's also learned of Marcy's secret that gives her a taste of being backstabbed. These experiences allow her to humble herself and becomes a better and healthier friend by the end of the series.]]
* BrokenTears: Sasha appears to be on the verge of this after Grime tells Sasha that her intense training is a coping mechanism to deal with how her relationship with Anne has irreversibly changed.
* BroughtDownToNormal: Like Marcy, she [[spoiler:loses her connection with her Calamity Gem when it charges up, and therefore she's useless against Andrias and his army, rendering her unable to fulfill the prophecy in Andrias' book. She regains the powers, along with an immense boost, in the final episode, but willingly gives them up to Anne when her inexperience with wielding such power holds her back]].
* BullyHunter: She's been this since kindergarten, and she first met Anne and Marcy when she relentlessly defended them against two older girls. It's kind of ironic that [[SheWhoFightsMonsters she ended up becoming a bully in her own right]], though her love for Anne and Marcy is genuine, and she seems to think she's doing them a favor by assuming control of their friendship.
* TheCaligula: Sasha veers dangerously close to this territory after becoming Grime's DragonInChief. Losing to Anne at Toad Tower is the standout example, but her paranoia, anger, and overall abuse towards her friends and underlings does not do her any favors. After losing Anne, [[spoiler:she single-handedly drives at least two more people (Percy and Braddock) out of the toad army]].
* CapeSnag: During their final battle in Newtopia, Anne defeats Sasha by making her get tangled in her own cape and then knocking her out with a punch.
* CassandraTruth:
** It takes a while for Grime to start believing her when she says that no one sent her to spy on him and that she just wants to find her friends and go home.
** This happens again in "True Colors" when [[spoiler:she and Grime discover a tapestry revealing King Andrias' true intentions. Unfortunately, she only discovers this after she betrayed the group and deliberately tried to send them away with the Calamity Box, which contributes to Anne brushing off her words when she tries to tell them]].
* CharacterCatchphrase: "[[PunctuatedForEmphasis End. Of. Discussion.]]"
* CharacterDevelopment: In season 3, [[spoiler:she finally realizes how badly she screwed up with Anne and what her ControlFreak tendencies have cost her after reading Anne's journal at the Plantar house in "Turning Point", and when she appears in season 3B she's shown to be genuinely working on getting past her issues. In "All In", when Darcy mocks her for her past actions, she shouts out how she's ''not'' the person who she was anymore as she cuts Darcy's AchillesPowerCord.]]
* TheChessmaster: Sasha is highly skilled at playing events to her advantage, being both a [[TheStrategist skilled military commander]] and [[ManipulativeBitch a dangerous manipulator who can trick people into doing whatever she wants]]. Her cleverness is shown as early as her second appearance, where she coaxes several of Grime's own guards into abandoning him, then manages to turn things around and rally them to his side by giving Grime some advice.
* ChildhoodFriend: She, Anne, and Marcy have been friends since kindergarten. However, Anne's personal anecdotes about Sasha don't paint the most flattering picture of their dynamic, even before flashbacks show just how toxic their relationship was. Despite this, she does deeply care about her friends.
* TheChosenOne: Of the pink Calamity Gem, which represents strength.
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: Has this before her HeelFaceTurn. [[spoiler:She lures the Wartwood citizens and Anne to the Toad Tower to execute Hop Pop in "Reunion". Then turn back her promise on Perca and Braddock on aboarding a dangerous mission. In "Ture Colors", she uses her earned trust with Anne to gain access to Newtopia so that the toads can enter the capital and conquer it, while claiming to regain control after promising Anne to become better.]]
* ColorMotif: Has a connection with the pink Calamity Gem, which overlaps with PsychoPink due to her ([[HeelFaceTurn initial]]) status as an AntiVillain. [[spoiler:Plus, her SuperMode has her manifest a reddish-pink aura.]]
* CombatPragmatist: During their duel, she surprises Anne with a dagger after being disarmed of her sword, and later throws her cape over Anne's face to blind her.
* TheComicallySerious: Sasha may be the smug, domineering AlphaBitch, but as seen in flashbacks, she often finds herself being haplessly and dumbfoundedly thrust into Anne's and Marcy's antics in the most hilarious way possible.
* ConflictingLoyalty: "The Third Temple" implies that Sasha feels torn between rekindling her old friendship with Anne, and her current allegiance to Grime. She has a GoodFeelsGood look on her face whenever Anne compliments her for being nicer to her, only to claim she was just acting in front of Grime. [[spoiler:"True Colors" reveals that, ultimately, she chose Grime, and it costs her friendship with Anne.]]
* ControlFreak:
** Back on Earth, Sasha acted very possessive of Anne, monopolizing her time at the cost of school and even her family. When Anne tried to refuse her, Sasha would pressure Anne with the implied threat that their "friendship" would be over if Anne didn't comply. However, Sasha genuinely does care for Anne, and sees her as a friend, [[spoiler:even being willing to die to save her after realizing how awfully she treated Anne in the past]].
** Discussed thoroughly in season 2, where Sasha continuously grapples with her need for control and needing to accept that Anne GrewASpine. Sasha is ''furious'' to learn that Anne and Marcy seem to be getting along without her, but tries to stay focused on getting along so they can get home. [[spoiler:Only for Sasha to reveal in "True Colors" that she lied about changing for the better to manipulate Anne into helping her and Grime invade Newtopia, [[EvilIsPetty just so Sasha could retake control]].]]
** In "All In", [[spoiler:Darcy explicitly says [[NotSoDifferentRemark "From one control freak to another,"]]]] to her.
* CoolKidAndLoserFriendship: This is possibly the biggest indicator of Sasha's HiddenHeartOfGold. She was captain of the cheerleading squad at school and had the entire student body under her thumb, and still chose to hang out with [[TheHeart sweet]] but naive Anne and [[TheKlutz clumsy Marcy]], never once even seeming to consider spending her time with someone else and actively defending them from bullies. It's pretty likely that the two were her first and only true friends. Putting aside the obvious drawbacks and complications that Sasha's ControlFreak tendencies brought to the trio's dynamic, it's clear that once she loves someone, she'll stick by them no matter what.
* CostumeEvolution: After becoming the [[spoiler:Commander of the Resistance, her outfit changes to an almost Viking-inspired one. It echoes aspects of both the other Calamity girls' designs, with blue accents to represent Anne and a shorter chestplate combined with a fur cape to represent Marcy.]]
* CruelCheerleader: "Prison Break" reveals that Sasha was a cheerleader back home, which explains her athletic ability. She also fits into the "mean cheerleader" stereotype.
* CryingWolf: In "True Colors", [[spoiler:Anne refuses to believe Sasha about [[EvilAllAlong King Andrias]] because of the latter's constant lies and manipulations ever since they arrived in Amphibia]].
* CuteLittleFangs: [[spoiler:In her calamity form, she gains fangs that the other girls do not]].
* DarkActionGirl: She is one, doubling as [[FighterMageThief the Thief to Anne's Fighter and Marcy's Mage]]. Sasha's combat abilities are strong enough to impress even Grime, and while she's not as skilled as Anne is in a straight fight during season 1, she makes up for it by being cunning and willing to fight dirty. In season 2, Sasha puts herself through a strict training regimen, and is now skilled enough to hold her own against General Yunan and [[spoiler:outfight Anne. However, Anne still ultimately defeats her when they come to blows in the season finale, as Sasha is [[WorfHadTheFlu holding back at the time]] to try and convince Anne that Andrias is a bigger threat than Grime, whereas Anne is [[TheDogBitesBack completely done with Sasha's previous lies]] and fighting more ruthlessly, to the point of employing CombatPragmatism herself]].
* DarkIsNotEvil:
** [[spoiler:Fits this after her HeelFaceTurn, wearing the same dark brown and red armour while leading the resistance against Andreas and [[TookALevelInKindness having become much kinder]].]]
** In ''The Hardest Thing'' [[spoiler:her [[SuperMode Calamity form]] has spikes and claws, giving it a more sinister appearance than her friends despite being heroic at that point.]]
* DarkShepherd: Sasha believes she's nobly helping Anne and Marcy return home, and believes she's the only one of three who's actually trying to fix the mess they've found themselves in. In reality, she bullies her friends and emotionally blackmails Anne into doing things she doesn't want to. [[spoiler:In the season 1 finale, Sasha captures the frogs and almost executes Hop Pop to keep herself and the toads in power, which forces Anne to stand up for herself and defend the frogs from her. Sasha does seem to understand Anne's choice, beginning to realize she wasn't the friend she should have been, and chooses to let go of Anne's hand so at least one of them can escape the tower, though she backslides in season 2. Even Captain Grime, the dour and brutal leader of the toads, gets lessons in manipulation and ruthlessness from Sasha.]]
* DealWithTheDevil: Sasha agrees to be Grime's right-hand woman in exchange for him helping her find her friends. Initially, their deal is that [[spoiler:Hop Pop dies, Grime helps her, and Anne will be persuaded to join her side]]. It turns out she's as bad as he is, though, so it's a question of who the devil really is.
* DeathGlare: She shoots one of these at Grime when he asks her if there are other humans in Amphibia. She also has a history of doing this towards Anne whenever she begins to seriously question her actions or commands.
* DeclarationOfProtection: Her page quote, where she swears to save Anne and Marcy from Amphibia.
* DefiantCaptive: When held as a prisoner of Grime, she just responds to him by shooting him a dirty look. In "Prison Break", she responds to all of his standard questions flippantly, and is revealed to be so well-liked by her prison guards that she's convinced five of them to quit.
* {{Determinator}}: Sasha doesn't know how to give up. No matter how hurt or tired she is, she will get back up on her feet.
* DetrimentalDetermination: Her aforementioned Determinating is a double-edged sword for her, since while her stubborn and forthright behaviour is what Marcy and Anne were drawn to in the first place, she'll keep going even when putting others in danger. It also means she has a hard time admitting she was wrong and tends to double down on toxic behavior. Examples include Sasha's complete inability to withdraw when retrieving Barrel's warhammer at great personal risk to herself and her group causing Percy and Braddock to leave her after she didn't put their lives first, [[spoiler:and Sasha's commitment to feigning her initial HeelFaceTurn and exploiting Anne's trust once again in an erroneous effort to get her friends back under control ultimately almost ''annihilating'' her friendship with Anne completely and scuppering any chance she had of convincing Anne that Andrias is untrustworthy. Likewise, after Sasha ''genuinely'' changes for the better in Season 3, she's so focused on moving the position of Wartwood Resistance leader over to Anne in her conviction that Anne is more worthy (despite all pointers to the contrary) that it does their party more harm than good]].
* DisneyVillainDeath: Subverted. [[spoiler:In "Reunion", she falls from Toad Tower, but Anne manages to catch her, while Anne's new friends prevent both of them from falling off the crumbling Tower. However, Sasha, realizing both that Anne is putting her life at risk and how badly she treated Anne, chooses to fall to her death instead, and lets go. This time, Grime saves her, catching her mid-fall]].
* TheDragon: Her skills at manipulation along with combat impress (and frighten) Grime enough for him to actually appoint her to be his second-in-command.
* DragonInChief: In many ways, she's more dangerous than Grime, due to how manipulative she is. She gives Grime ''plenty'' of advice that works, and she's more proactive than him when it comes to the frogs, especially with [[spoiler:coming up with the plan to trap the Wartwood populace so that Hop Pop can be executed. Of course, in season 2, Grime makes her a genuine friend.
* DualWielding: Her weapons of choice are two swords (red and green respectively) with heron-shaped crossguards. When Grime gifts her a second sword, she's ecstatic of finally getting to dual-wield.
* DumbBlonde: Inverted. Sasha is a blonde who is cunning, smart, and observant, and out of herself, Anne, and Marcy, she seems to be the most mentally competent of them all[[note]]Anne is BookDumb and Marcy is incredibly obsessive despite her blisteringly sharp intellect[[/note]].
* EmotionSuppression: Like Anne, she has been doing this since their fight at Toad Tower.
** In season 3, while Anne has had the chance to mull over Marcy's betrayal, Sasha ignores her own emotional turmoil about the matter and struggles to see a way to repair their fractured friendship. A pep talk from [[TheHeart Anne]] helps her sort it out.
* EnsignNewbie: She's a newly-minted lieutenant in Grime's militia at just 13 years old.
* EntitledBitch: [[spoiler:After betraying Anne and her friends once again and sending King Andrias to the dungeon, Sasha acts nonchalant and friendly with Anne and Marcy immediately afterwards. When Anne is gobsmacked about this and voices her protests, Sasha says she's just being a SoreLoser and acts as if she should have seen this coming. This causes Anne to finally snap and give her a major TheReasonYouSuckSpeech.]]
* EvenEvilCanBeLoved: Even after their encounter in the season 1 finale, Anne still cares about Sasha, even as she continues down her downward spiral, and then still offers Sasha another chance when they meet again in season 2, despite the fact that Sasha tried to kill her. [[spoiler:It's a major "Oh Shit" moment when Anne finally concludes that [[BeyondRedemption trying to redeem Sasha is just wasting her time and dulling her edge]], and it takes Sasha betraying Anne by attempting a hostile takeover of Amphibia and trying to send her and Marcy away out of spite to push Anne that far. And then things get worse when Sasha discovers the horrible truth about King Andrias, and Anne doubts her because how many lies she's told. After spending some time on Earth and cooling down, Anne just can't bring herself to hate Sasha, even after everything she has done.]]
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes:
** She may have chosen to willingly help Grime take over the valley, but her main motivation to become Grime's lieutenant is so she can have the means to look for her two human friends and find them so they can safely return home. This is especially proven in "Reunion", where [[spoiler:when it appears that Anne is going to die with her, she willingly lets go so Anne and the Plantars will be safe]].
** In "Toadcatcher", she confesses that she cares about Captain Grime.
* EvenEvilHasStandards:
** Underhanded and manipulative as she may be, even she isn't willing to leave Grime to die.
** [[spoiler:She's also outright horrified when she sees the tapestry showing Andrias using the box to commit mass murder, to the point that her priorities change to stopping him.]]
** [[spoiler:When it is revealed that Marcy knew what the music box was from the beginning, Sasha (who had intended to stay and rule Amphibia) is horrified that she and the others were stranded in Amphibia intentionally.]]
* EvilCostumeSwitch: After becoming Grime's second-in-command, she switches from her colorful school uniform to a muted bronze toad officer uniform.
* EvilIsPetty: In "True Colors", Sasha reveals that [[spoiler:she faked having changed for the better to manipulate Anne into helping her conquer Newtopia for Toad Tower, for no other reason than to regain control over the situation and their friendship. Sasha refused to accept that Anne GrewASpine, or that Anne and Marcy found a way home without Sasha's input]].
* EvilVirtues: '''Determination'''. As "The Third Temple" explicitly points out, one of Sasha's greatest strengths is her persistence and [[{{Determinator}} refusal to ever give up]]. It's what allowed her to befriend Anne and Marcy in the first place, since she kept trying to take on the bullies who took their swings until they gave up and left, and it allows her to overcome the final trial in the Temple of Strength. [[spoiler:This crosses over into FatalFlaw in "True Colors", when Sasha's refusal to ever give up causes her to follow through with the coup of Newtopia and double down on her toxic and domineering tendencies toward Anne.]]
* EyeColorChange: Her eyes turn pink in "Barrel's Warhammer" out of anger that Anne and Marcy are doing just fine without her. It grants her the strength to lift said warhammer out of the hide of a narwhal worm when previously she, Grime, Percy and Braddock could barely budge it working as a team. [[spoiler: This is a hint at her Calamity Gem powers, and when she finally accesses her full SuperMode in the series finale, her eyes glow pink once again.]]
* FaceHeelTurn: Downplayed. Sasha was once Anne's best friend, and then she joined Grime for power. However, she did initially join because he could potentially get her and her friends home. [[spoiler:Ultimately, after being called out on how much of a bad influence she was, she still continues to serve Grime, not so much out of belief in his ideology, but because she and Anne have grown apart and have different interests.]]
* FalseFriend: Subverted. Sasha was a delinquent back home, and incredibly manipulative to everyone up to and including even Anne, who's her oldest friend. However, she truly does care about both Anne and Marcy, telling Grime on multiple occasions that finding them is her top priority. The end of "Prison Break" even has that be the main reason she agrees to stay on as his second-in-command, with her reiterating this in private while looking at her own copy of the BFF photo. "Reunion" has her view [[spoiler:attempting to kill Hop Pop and subjugating the frogs]] as a necessary evil to accomplish this. [[spoiler:This is played straight in "True Colors", where Sasha herself confirms that she only ''pretended'' to change for the better to manipulate Anne into helping her conquer Newtopia for the toads.]]
* FantasticRacism: Sasha is openly dismissive about frogs, and doesn't get why Anne would care about any of them. It's ambiguous whether this attitude is just towards the frogs, as influenced by Toad Tower, or if it extends towards all the natives of Amphibia. Leaning towards influence is the fact that while she will manipulate them, she does not have the same dismissive attitude towards toads she does toward frogs. [[spoiler:She lets go of this mindset after deciding to protect Wartwood and becomes close with the townspeople after fighting alongside them for weeks.]]
* TheFarmerAndTheViper: [[spoiler:Sasha is very much the Scorpion to Anne's Frog. While in Amphibia, Sasha continually uses Anne's trust and friendship to manipulate her into helping Sasha conquer first Wartwood and then Newtopia for Grime's totalitarian regime. In "True Colors", Anne finally has enough, and calls Sasha out on being a ''horrible person'' who lies and uses people, and declares their friendship ''over''.]]
* FashionableAsymmetry: She wears a glove on one hand and wrappings on the other, and has a shoulder pad on one shoulder and none on the other.
* FatalFlaw:
** Selfishness, with the worst part being that Sasha doesn't realize she is selfish. She '''genuinely''' cares for the people she considers her friends, but in the end she will always choose what she wants over what her friends want and justify it to herself and them as what's best. Sasha genuinely thinks that her ControlFreak tendencies push whatever group she is in to bigger heights, and in her eyes guaranteeing success and safety to the whole team equals being a good friend.
** Her ControlFreak tendencies. In "True Colors", [[spoiler:Sasha reveals she'll take back control of their situation in Amphibia, their way home, and their friendship by any means necessary, including manipulating Anne into helping her stage a coup of Newtopia for Toad Tower, all because Sasha refuses to accept that Anne GrewASpine. This not only costs her friendship with Anne, but causes Anne to help King Andrias regain power while refusing to listen to Sasha's warnings against trusting him]].
* {{Foil}}:
** She and Anne contrast quite nicely with each other:
*** Anne initially had a hard time fitting in with the populace of Wartwood, while Sasha easily charmed the toad soldiers into loving her.
*** She and Sasha both have a distorted view of friendship, despite genuinely caring for one another. Sasha believes that friends are people who will do whatever you want as long as you get them to love you, and only cares about ensuring power and stability for herself and her loved ones with little regard for the means by which she does it, while Anne believes that she has to do whatever her friends want to "earn" their friendship. This means, however, that for all their differences, they both see love as [[LoveHungry something conditional that must be continuously earned]] by making sure the people you care about see either [[MightMakesRight how strong]] or [[TheScapegoat useful you can be]]. In short, they ''need to be needed''.
*** Regarding their arrogance and mistakes, Sasha practices NeverMyFault, while Anne engages in MyGodWhatHaveIDone. Whereas Anne is always horrified and apologetic on realizing she's done wrong to the Plantars or other frogs, Sasha is ObliviouslyEvil to the point that Sprig calling her out leads to her trying to kill him. Sasha is also blindsided when her wanting to "rescue" Anne and find a way home is not enough to make up for her playing [[TheFarmerAndTheViper the scorpion]] to advance Captain Grime's agenda to the innocent frogs that have housed Anne for several months.
** Her reunion with Anne compared to Anne reuniting with Marcy couldn't be more night and day -- literally and metaphorically -- all because of FantasticRacism and Hop-Pop being on Captain Grime's most-wanted list.
** Sasha's motivation and attitude in what she's willing to do runs counter to both Anne and Marcy; her willingness to hurt frogs conflicts with Anne's morality, while forcing them all to leave together conflicts with Marcy's love of the world and how she has made it her home.
** Much like Marcy, Sasha can be blinded by her desires, but unlike Marcy, Sasha will always justify her behavior as what's best for everyone, when in reality it's just what she, and she alone, wants. [[spoiler:"True Colors" reveals she and Marcy are actually similar in this respect, though Marcy at least has the capacity for self-reflection when her actions are revealed.]]
** She's one to Sprig: both were Anne's best friend at one point in time, both are represented by the color pink, both have the intense desire to be needed by the people around them, often going to extreme measures to make that happen, and both want to protect the people around them (compare Sasha acting like a superhero to fend off bullies, and Sprig literally becoming one in "Spider-Sprig"). They can be impulsive and headstrong, often refusing to listen to other people's pleas to fulfill their personal goals. The main difference is that Sprig is much more open with his emotions, while Sasha struggles with communication and is much more forceful.
* FreudianExcuse:
** {{Implied|Trope}}. "Froggy Little Christmas" suggests Sasha's parents are divorced or at least separated, which would explain quite a lot of Sasha's behavior towards her friends. Not only does it explain Sasha's more antisocial tendencies on Earth and Amphibia and suggest that Sasha places more value on friendship than blood relations, it also suggests that her obsessive and controlling behavior towards Anne and Marcy likely stems from a deep-seated fear that their friendship will go the same way Sasha's parents' marriage did if she isn't on top of the girls with full control of the reins. [[spoiler:It's also implied to be the reason why Sasha initially says in "True Colors" that she'd rather stay and rule Amphibia than return to Earth: her family life may be just so unstable that she feels there's nothing left for her back on Earth anymore]].
** [[https://www.thegamer.com/matt-braly-interview-amphibia-finale-disney-channel/ In an interview,]] Matt Braly actually shed some light onto this: Sasha found herself split between two families when her parents divorced, and didn't belong to either, which is why she feels the need to keep Anne and Marcy close to herself by any means necessary.
---> "We talked a lot about Sasha’s parents and how there was this split and now there are two families and how this is when she felt she lost control, and that’s why she’s all about control."
* FreudianTrio: She's the Id to Marcy's Superego and Anne's Ego, as reflected by toadkind being the Id to Newtopians' Superego and the Wartwood frogs' Ego. Sasha often plays the AlphaBitch out of selfish self-interest; from the merely corrupt politician Mayor Toadstool to the downright devious tyrant Captain Grime, toadkind is similarly power-hungry and self-centered.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: She was originally nothing more than a captive at Toad Tower. One foiled heron attack later, and she's promoted to lieutenant, to the point that by "Reunion", she's the most dangerous fighter in Toad Tower besides Grime himself.
* GirlyBruiser: She's an AlphaBitch ex-cheerleader in a pink skirt who can take down herons that are hundreds of times her size, and later becomes an exceptional fighter as Grime's lieutenant. Her combat skills even come from her feminine hobby.
* GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak: She's fairly traditionally feminine (especially when compared to her more tomboyish friends) as she likes fashion, has a [[PinkIsFeminine pink]] color motif, once imagined herself as a [[PrincessPhase princess]], and was an AlphaBitch type of cheerleader back home, but also willingly became Grime's soldier, and has proved to be quite feisty and combative with a physically brutal side to her, even gaining a TomboynessUpgrade during her time in Amphibia. She also has [[LongHairIsFeminine the longest hair]] out of the three girls which until her new look in season 3B is styled in a [[TomboyishPonytail ponytail]], and a little kid attempted to deal with bullies the violent way, the last one being the reason why she's the "brawn" in the BeautyBrainsAndBrawn trio.
* GivenNameReveal: Her last name isn't revealed until "Toadcatcher".
* GoingNative: By her third appearance (counting "Best Fronds" as the first), Sasha has more or less assimilated completely to toad culture, wearing toad-forged armor and being perfectly comfortable as a lieutenant in the toad army.
* GoldColoredSuperiority: In ''The Hardest Thing [[spoiler:her [[SuperMode Calamity form]] gives her armour with gold accents, and is noted to be more powerful than the one Anne used prior.]]
* GoodCostumeSwitch: In Season 3B, [[spoiler:after becoming the leader of the Resistance, her outfit looks more Viking-barbarian inspired. There are blue details along the gloves, pauldron, and boots[[note]]likely referencing Anne's association with the color[[/note]], a shorter chestplate and a fur cape[[note]]similar to Marcy's getup[[/note]], and she has a pink tiara to keep her hair away from her face in the shape of a heron. There's also far less red in her palette, as a way to symbolize her growth and the lessening of her more violent impulses]].
* GoodFeelsGood: In season 2's "The Third Temple", Sasha looks pleasantly surprised by Anne complimenting her for being nice. Ditto for "Battle of the Bands", where she finds that supporting Anne's musical choices rather than taking over feels wonderful. Given that their friendship was built on Sasha bossing Anne around, [[BecomingTheMask being forced to actually listen]] and try to make Anne happy turns out not to be as bad as Sasha thought. [[spoiler:Too bad she doubles down on retaking control by any means necessary in "True Colors". However, in "Turning Point", she protected Wartwood from Andrias' robot army. Because of the townsfolk gratitude, she swears to protect them from the dark king alongside with Grime, and train them to fight back for the upcoming war]].
* GuileHeroine: Sasha exploits her captors' poor morale to [[LimaSyndrome charm them into treating her better]]. Seeing all of her skills in practice convinces Grime to make her an ally rather than let her go free.
* GreaterScopeParagon: The entire show pretty much starts because she ignored Marcy's interest and she pressured Anne to steal the Calamity Box.
* HairTriggerTemper: {{Downplayed}}. While Sasha isn't outright aggressive, she is prone to giving into her anger in several occasions throughout the show.
* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:After taking Anne's words about being a horrible person to heart and discovering King Andrias' true nature, Sasha decides to fix her mistakes by fighting alongside Anne and helping her escape back to Earth by holding Andrias at bay.]]
* HeelRealization:
** In "Reunion", [[spoiler:upon realizing that Anne is risking her own life to save her from falling off the tower, and seeing that the frog family she dismissed are doing the same, Sasha admits that Anne would be better off without her and lets go of Anne's hand, willing to fall to her death rather than endanger Anne]].
** In "True Colors", [[spoiler:she has another one after Anne calls her a "horrible person". She actually starts to consider that Anne could be right about her. By the time she really needs Anne by her side, Anne isn't having it, and with the example of a tyrant worse than her in King Andrias, she's probably starting to see what she might become if she continues like the way she has been]].
** In "Turning Point", [[spoiler:she fully realizes her faults and decides to try and become a better person]].
* HeroicSacrifice:
** In "Reunion", [[spoiler:Sasha falls off a crumbling Toad Tower, only for Anne to grab her hand and the Plantars to grab Anne. Unfortunately, as the Plantars are trying to pull Anne and Sasha back to safety, Sasha sees that cracks are appearing where they're standing. Realizing she's been a terrible friend to Anne and unwilling to endanger her anymore, she lets go of Anne's hand, willing to fall to her own death to save her. Fortunately, Grime saves her at the last minute. Unfortunately, she's unconscious by then, and Grime takes her with his army when he leaves]].
** In "True Colors", [[spoiler:Sasha agrees to HoldTheLine against King Andrias so Marcy and Anne can take the Calamity Box and escape back home, knowing full well it could leave her stranded in Amphibia with a ruthless tyrant whom she can't hope to outmatch in straight up combat]].
* HeroOfAnotherStory: [[spoiler:In "Turning Point", she gets a full HeelFaceTurn, as not only does she, with Grime’s help, defend Wartwood from a small robot army Andrias sends to them, but she also plans to train the citizens to fight back for the upcoming war]].
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: Throughout season 3B, after her HeelFaceTurn, she usually questions herself about whether she’s really changed as a better person and friend. Indeed, once Anne returns to Amphibia, the first thing Sasha does is to give her command of the entire resistance, both as a way of atonement and because she’s afraid of relapsing back to her ControlFreak habits.
* HerOwnWorstEnemy: Much of Sasha's worst problems stem from her [[NeverMyFault refusal to take blame]], [[ItsAllAboutMe her ego]], her LackOfEmpathy, her ChronicBackstabbingDisorder, and her inability to get out of her own way. One by one, her behavior drives away anyone who cares about her.
** In "Reunion", Sasha's willingness to not only help the toads conquer Wartwood, but execute the frog family who took Anne in (over Anne's protests) just gives Anne the strength to stand up to Sasha and take down Toad Tower. [[spoiler:This also irreparably changes Sasha's friendship with Anne.]]
** In "Barrel's Warhammer", Sasha's willingness to endanger her followers just to get what she wants (after explicitly promising to respect their feelings and turn back if things got too harrowing) causes [[spoiler:Percy and Braddock to decide Sasha is too selfish and ruthless to follow, and they go home]].
** In "True Colors", [[spoiler:Sasha's willingness to go through with her and Grime's plan to use Anne to conquer Newtopia causes Anne to finally snap, declare Sasha a horrible person, and end their friendship. Worse, after Sasha discovers King Andrias' true nature as a genocidal warmongering tyrant and tries to warn Anne against putting him back in power, Anne refuses to listen to Sasha due to [[CryingWolf the latter's lies and manipulations]]. This causes ''disastrous'' consequences for everyone involved]].
** In "Turning Point", [[spoiler:she fully acknowledges that her need to constantly stay in control has cost her her best friends]].
* {{Hypocrite}}: In "True Colors", [[spoiler:she singles out Marcy for betraying her and Anne, despite betraying Anne earlier. Sasha does [[HypocrisyNod come to recognize this]] and [[HeelFaceTurn finally decides to clean up her act]].]]
* HypocriteHasAPoint: In "True Colors", [[spoiler:she rightfully calls out Marcy on betraying her and Anne, not only separating them from their families and livelihoods but also endangering their lives in the process, even if Sasha was just as guilty of this herself. Even Marcy herself agrees with her on it, calling her own actions "super dumb" later on.]]
* IChooseToStay: In "True Colors", [[spoiler:after she and Grime pull off their coup]], Sasha says that she actually wants to stay in Amphibia and rule it alongside Grime, which may or may not have been a bluff. [[spoiler:She displays a more heroic variant at the end of the episode, holding off Andrias with Grime so Anne and the others can get through the portal.]]
* IgnoredEpiphany:
** You would think that the whole "getting trapped in another world where everything is trying to eat you" would motivate her to treat her friends better, since they could have been dead or maimed by the wildlife. While Sasha happily greets Anne on reuniting and her relief is sincere, she still tries to bully her and belittle her. When Sprig calls her out for her behavior and says Anne deserves better, she tries to kill the little frog.
** In "Reunion", [[spoiler:she lets go of Anne's hand rather than risk Anne falling off Toad Tower with her, telling Anne, "Maybe you're better off without me." By the time of her return in "Toadcatcher", Sasha is shown to have completely disregarded this, and deeply resents Anne for turning against her]].
** In season 2, Sasha refuses to accept that Anne GrewASpine, and in "True Colors", [[spoiler:Sasha tells Anne [[ILied she lied]] about having changed for the better to retake control of the situation and their friendship. Anne calls her out on this big time]].
* IHatePastMe: By the time of the third season, [[spoiler:when Sasha is trying to make amends for all that she has done wrong by protecting the frogs of Wartwood who looked after Anne, she really has come to have serious guilt issues she's trying to work off. When Anne returns, she immediately chooses to give up her role as commander of the resistance to Anne, not just because she feels unworthy after all she's done to her and Marcy, but because she's so terrified of going back to her old ways and losing Anne all over again if she's put in a position of power. Fortunately, Anne has wised up and can see that Sasha is this. She puts her full faith in her this time, and Sasha proves herself worthy of being a good friend and leader. This ultimately leads her to declare in "All In" that she is ''done'' being who she was.]]
-->'''Sasha:''' I am NOT that person anymore!
* ImposedHandicapTraining: In the third temple, Sasha reveals that she's used to moving around with weighted armour that is heavy enough to dent the floor once it's dropped. While part of this is definitely due to the increased gravitational field of the room at the time, it's pretty clear that all that training she pushed herself through has more than paid off.
* InconsistentColoring: Sasha has brown eyes in "Barrel's Warhammer", but blue eyes in "Commander Anne".
* ItsPersonal: There's an element of this to her and Sprig's interactions, since Sprig effectively replaces Sasha as Anne's best friend and proves to be a far better one. Plus, it's him calling her out for her treatment of Anne and not knowing how amazing a person Anne actually is that causes Anne to [[GrewASpine fight back against Sasha atop Toad Tower]]. Throughout season 2, Sprig refers to Sasha as 'evil', and [[spoiler:the two butt heads a lot during "The Dinner", with Sprig being (rightfully) skeptical about Sasha's HeelFaceTurn]]. Sasha's general animosity seems to extend to the Plantars as a whole, due to them being the main reason Anne won't reestablish their 'friendship', but Sprig and her in particular have problems with each other. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vz00TWYS4v4 Vlogs from the Bog]] makes it pretty clear that she still held a grudge against him for quite some time.
-->'''Sasha:''' ''(talking about how awesome her life in Amphibia has been)'' And best of all, I have [[CoolSword my own sword!]] Which I use to subjugate villagers, especially [[OverlyNarrowSuperlative little pink frogs who steal best friends]]...\\
'''...'''\\
'''Sprig:''' I have the weirdest feeling somebody was just talking about me.
* IKnowMaddenKombat: Her fighting skills come from the athleticism required for cheerleading.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Sasha is very bossy and controlling toward her friends, but is shown to care for them and value her friendship with Anne and Marcy deep down. She's defended Anne and Marcy from various bullies, and has her own VillainousFriendship with Grime. She also shows noticeable disgust at [[spoiler:King Andrias' plans, and aids Anne and the Plantars in trying to stop him]]. The "heart of gold" side becomes more emphasized after her HeelFaceTurn.
* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: In "True Colors," after a lifetime of pushing Anne around, [[spoiler:and lying to and manipulating her, Anne [[RageBreakingPoint finally snaps]] and [[TheDogBitesBack attacks Sasha]]. Anne refuses to [[CassandraTruth believe Sasha]] about King Andrias being evil, due to [[CryingWolf having no reason to trust Sasha]], since the latter has [[TheFarmerAndTheViper done nothing but lie, manipulate, use, and betray Anne]] every second they've been together since they arrived in Amphibia. Sasha can only watch helplessly as Anne bests her in combat and hands the box over to the evil king; she has no one to blame but herself for Anne no longer believing or trusting her]].
* KickTheDog: It takes a certain amount of jerk level to convince your "best friend" to skip her own birthday party to shoplift a box, then [[spoiler:attempt to execute Hop Pop, the same frog that took in Anne out of the goodness of his heart and adopted her as one of his grandkids]].
* KickTheMoralityPet: [[spoiler:Although Sasha can act controlling toward Anne, she ultimately treats her kindly. When she manipulates Anne to help her conquer Newtopia as she fakes her HeelFaceTurn, Anne doesn't take it; their relationship gets severely damaged as a result. She sees the error of her ways for real afterwards, though.]]
* LaserGuidedKarma:
** Sasha and Marcy peer-pressured Anne into shoplifting a strange music box, which transported all three of them into Amphibia. Sasha was also the one who got the idea of stealing the music box in the first place (and possibly manipulated Marcy into letting Anne steal the box) and winds up a prisoner of Grime shortly after her arrival in Amphibia.
** In "Reunion", Sasha is deadset on helping Grime to [[spoiler:execute Hop Pop; she tries to force Anne to be compliant with the murder of one of her friends; and she even tries to kill Sprig as well out of spite, once the little frog humiliates her. Ultimately however, it's Sasha herself who has the closest shave with death in that episode, when the assassination attempt backfires and she and Grime both tumble over the side of Toad Tower. It's made abundantly clear that Sasha would have fallen to her death, if Grime hadn't managed to catch her in time.]]
** In "True Colors", she discovers [[spoiler:Marcy tricked her into getting stranded in an alternate dimension on purpose (with no intention of ever returning to their old lives) because of her own codependency issues; she would have done the same thing all over again if Andrias hadn't turned against her. Sasha is finally given a taste of her own medicine when it comes to being backstabbed by someone who she thought was her friend for their own selfish purposes; she's clearly not happy about it in the slightest bit.]]
* TheLeader:
** Sasha is implied to have been this for the trio of girls back on Earth, with Anne and Marcy noting that she was the one who would always come up with plans and direct the bulk of their activities.
** In season 3, she becomes the [[spoiler:Commander of the Wartwood Resistance. She tries to hand over the title to Anne as soon as she makes it back to Wartwood, out of fear of slipping back into her controlling habits, but Anne insists they share the role, and from then on they settle into a pretty seamless partnership]].
* LeanAndMean: Sasha is quite lean in stature, and she's a {{manipulative|bitch}} villainess.
* {{Leitmotif}}: "Sasha's Theme", which has a dark, ominous feel to it, befitting her manipulative nature. It gets expanded in the latter half of Season 2, which contains an excerpt of her song "Heartstomper" and holds brighter tones to showcase her hidden potential to be a better person.
* LikeADuckTakesToWater: Once she's put on equal footing with Grime, Sasha adapts to the toads even faster than Anne did with the frogs, becoming the lieutenant of the army that imprisoned her within the course of a month.
* LipstickLesbian: {{Downplayed}}. She's bisexual [[spoiler:as revealed by a car sticker in the DistantFinale]], and is fairly traditionally feminine, being a cheerleader, having a pink color motif, and imagines herself as a princess, but she is also a delinquent who fully embraces a warrior lifestyle.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: [[spoiler:Due to spending so much time out in the wilderness with Grime, Sasha wasn't even aware that Anne has reunited with Marcy in Newtopia. By the time she finds out in "Barrel's Warhammer", Sasha doesn't take it very well.]]
* LonelyAtTheTop: [[spoiler:In season 2, she gets almost everything that she's worked for, becoming Grime's only trusted advisor and equal, and she briefly succeeds in conquering Amphibia. However, the more she climbs up the ranks, the more she loses her soul and her sense of self, admitting out loud that she thought winning would feel better, and she doesn't know what she wants anymore.]]
* MagicSkirt: She has one similar to Anne's, which never obeys gravity if it would be inappropriate to do so.
* ManipulativeBitch: She's a natural at manipulating others to do whatever she wants. This is one of the reasons Grime appoints her to become his second-in-command.
* MeaningfulName:
** Her last name is "Waybright", she's very smart for her age, and at her best she's effectively a truly inspiring individual thanks to her unbreakable will. It's also an Americanized form of German Weibrecht or Weybrecht, from a Germanic personal name composed of the elements "wig", meaning "battle" or "war" and "berht", meaning "bright". This fits Sasha, seeing as she is a warrior/soldier.
** Her given name "Sasha" comes from the name Alexander, which means "defender of man". She first met Anne and Marcy when she defended them from bullies as a little kid, and it's strongly implied part of the reason she's so domineering is that she feels like she needs to be strong to protect them, which in return will make sticking around her worthwhile.
* MusclesAreMeaningless: She's extremely skinny, but can smack around monsters multiple stories tall. [[ZigzaggedTrope Zig-zagged]] in season 2, where she's still as skinny as you'd expect a thirteen year old girl to be, but her arms have put on noticeable muscle mass. She's even more so in the latter half of season 3 [[spoiler:after Anne and the Planters return to Amphibia from the human world.]]
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone:
** Sasha has a moment during season 2, when she realizes [[spoiler:that she put Percy and Braddock in danger just to get a warhammer for her and Grime's invasion plans. Also, Sasha becomes filled with guilt when she realizes that her actions nearly cost her friendship with Anne and Marcy]].
** She goes through this {{trope}} in season 3's "Turning Point". [[spoiler:After returning to Wartwood, she finds Anne's journal, and reads the entry for the night of the BattleOfTheBands. She sees that Anne truly believed she could trust her again after everything that happened, leading Sasha to realize how badly she betrayed Anne's trust]].
* NearDeathExperience: [[spoiler: In Season 1 Finale, she let herself fall from the crumbling tower, so she wouldn’t drag Anne with her. Fortunately, Grime manages to catch her in mid fall and saves her life at the last moment.]]
* NiceMeanAndInBetween: The mean to Marcy's nice and Anne's in-between. She always wants Anne to do whatever she wants her to do, even if it means missing out on the most important parts of her life, like her own birthday party, for example.
* NoSell: In their duel, [[spoiler:Darcy tries to BreakThemByTalking, calling out all of Sasha's worst traits and telling her what Marcy really thought about her. Sasha ignores it completely, keeping her eyes firmly on the goal of killing the Core and freeing Marcy]].
* ObliviouslyEvil: Sasha thinks she knows best, so it has to be her way or the highway. Because of this, Anne has no idea what a best friend is like, and is an ExtremeDoormat.
* ParentalNeglect: Implied. Sasha never mentions her parents, and her insistence that Anne should spend time with her friends who love her rather than her family implies that she has a rather poor relationship with them. WordOfGod and ''Marcy's Journal'' indicates that they separated and remarried when Sasha was very young, and both have families with their new partners, leaving Sasha torn between two families neither of which she is truly part of.
* PetTheDog: To her credit, she would at least stick up for Anne and Marcy to other bullies in school.
* PsychoKnifeNut: She has grown a fondness for sharp weapons -- so much so, in fact, that when she's invited to dinner and ordered by Grime to not bring her sword with her, she begrudgingly does so. When he also asks for her to leave behind her hidden daggers -- which involves her removing one of her boots and dumping out a large pile of daggers, to Grime's incredulity -- she whines to him that she might need them. Even then, she still brings one by [[SlipknotPonytail hiding it behind her ponytail]].
* PsychoSupporter: Sasha combines her controlling attitude toward Anne with a ruthless protectiveness. She used her school status to defend Anne from bullying, and believes Anne would be better off if she joined Toad Tower.
* RaisedByOrcs: The Toads of Toad Tower were essentially Amphibia's equivalent to orcs and Sasha has gradually embraced their warrior culture and supporting their dominance over other Amphibians more and more the longer she stayed in Amphibia.
* RedemptionRejection: In season 2, Sasha makes an effort to be a better friend to Anne. In "True Colors," [[spoiler:she reveals she only pretended to accept that Anne GrewASpine to manipulate her into helping Sasha and Grime conquer Newtopia for Toad Tower, all so Sasha could [[EvilIsPetty retake control of the situation and their friendship]]]].
* ReformedButNotTamed: [[spoiler:Downplayed, but even after her full HeelFaceTurn in season 3B, where she starts moving past her ControlFreak issues, she still has a bit of a temper at some points, and in the DistantFinale of "The Hardest Thing" her talk about how rewarding it is to help troubled kids with their issues is immediately followed by her angrily honking her horn at another driver for not using their turn signal.]]
* RichBitch: The pre-Amphibia flashbacks imply Sasha has a wealthy background, for example claiming her house has a pool big enough for her whole class. This would go a long way in explaining her spoiled behavior, selfishness, and lack of concern for the consequences of her actions.
* RottenRockAndRoll: Sasha is [[{{Leitmotif}} frequently accompanied]] by electric guitar melodies to assert her gruff and villainous nature. Similarly, in "Battle of the Bands", while Anne and Marcy want to play the peppy pop song "No Big Deal", Sasha wants to play ''her'' song "Heartstomper", a rock song about how much of a badass she is.
* ScarsAreForever: She gets one after Anne knocks the sword and dagger out of her hands, cutting her just below her right eye in the process, [[RuleOfSymbolism symbolizing]] that things have changed between her and [[GrewASpine Anne]] such they won't go back to [[ToxicFriendInfluence what they had prior]]. [[spoiler:The DistantFinale shows that, even ten years later, she still has it]].
* SecretTestOfCharacter: To charge her gem at the third temple, she perseveres to succeed for the sake of her friends by using the mental strength within her.
* SelfServingMemory: Part of why Sasha is such a domineering friend is she selectively remembers when her peer-pressuring led to fun, and forgets when it got her friends in trouble. At one point, Sasha reminisces about how [[spoiler:she pressured Anne and Marcy into sneaking up to the school roof to have a loud dance party, and wonders why they never did anything like that again. Marcy points out that they got caught, and Anne took the fall and got grounded for over a month. Sasha awkwardly replies she didn't remember that part]].
* TheShrink: [[spoiler:In "The Hardest Thing", the DistantFinale reveals that she's become a psychologist, apparently specializing in helping troubled kids overcome their issues, which she has personal experience in.]]
* SignificantWardrobeShift: [[spoiler:When she reappears in the second half of season 3, she is shown to be more muscular with more pronounced biceps, wearing heavier, almost Viking-like armor, with her single glove replaced with a new, clawed one and her old cape replaced with a fur one. Her hair is also longer and messier, with the ends having gone back to her natural, dark-blonde hair color. This is justified, considering she’s been leading the Wartwood resistance.]]
* TheSocialExpert: To the point where her ability to charm her way into other people's graces makes her dangerous. Grime quickly realizes that he needs to exploit this if he wants to properly command the toad army. She was more of TheCharmer proper as a kid, when her [[{{Determinator}} steadfast stubbornness]] and [[KnightInShiningArmor refusal to let bullies get their way]] were the qualities that Anne and Marcy always admired the most in her. [[spoiler:In the WhereAreTheyNow epilogue, she has become a psychiatrist]].
* SpannerInTheWorks: [[spoiler:Her and Grime's coup and takeover of Newtopia nearly ruins Andrias' evil plans, which Grime [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] when they find Andrias' tapestry depicting his goals.]]
* SpikesOfVillainy: Inverted. Sasha's armor doesn't get spikes until [[spoiler:she gets her Calamity powers, which happens long after her HeelFaceTurn]].
* StrangeMindsThinkAlike: Per WordOfGod, [[spoiler:Sasha's bond with Marcy back on Earth was very much one of pragmatic understanding. Like Sasha, Marcy had no problem with bending the rules to the trio's favour and was fine with going along with whatever Sasha said, and they both saw Anne as being a bit too sweet-natured for her own good]].
* TheStrategist: This is fully showcased after she becomes [[spoiler:the commander of the Frog Resistance]]. Sasha is, [[spoiler:in Stumpy's own words]], a tactical wizard, and everyone relies on her guidance, from organizing battle plans to coordinating attacks.
* StrongAndSkilled: Along with becoming a skilled swordswoman, she’s shown to be very physically strong, being able to effortlessly lift heavy weapons. Her armor is also shown to be extremely heavy, and yet she's still able to move around in it with ease. [[spoiler:It's unclear how much of this is her natural ability and how much is due to her connection to the strength gem of the Calamity Box, but at the very least, when she taps into the power unconsciously, she's able to dislodge Barrel's Warhammer from its resting place, something no other toad had been physically capable of before.]]
* StrongAsTheyNeedToBe: Sasha's skill in swordfighting is more reliant on her CharacterDevelopment and RuleOfSymbolism than realistic skill. She loses her first duel to Anne, despite Anne having barely ever held a sword. She loses her second duel to Anne, despite having spent months doing nothing but training. She wins her training spar with Anne, since she at this point has made amends and is no longer trying to defeat Anne. Finally, she [[spoiler:dominates in her duel with Darcy, to the point where they need to resort to dirty tricks to win]].
* SuddenEyeColour: A closeup in "Commander Anne" reveals that her eyes are blue.
* SuddenlySpeaking: After first appearing in "Best Fronds" with no lines, Sasha speaks for the first time in "Prison Break".
* SuperMode: [[spoiler:''The Hardest Thing'' has her gain her own Calamity form with armour and a pink aura to fight The Core controlled moon.]]
* TearsOfRemorse: [[spoiler:While reading Anne's journal, she weeps over the fact that Anne had genuinely started trusting her again, well aware that she betrayed that trust barely a day later.]]
* TeensAreMonsters: Sasha is a thirteen-year-old ManipulativeBitch who delights in commanding people around and being in charge. [[spoiler:She drops this trope after her CharacterDevelopment]].
* ThereIsAnother: Her being Grime's prisoner at the end of "Best Fronds" confirms that Anne isn't the only human in Amphibia.
* TokenHuman: Mirroring Anne and Marcy as the only human in Wartwood and Newtopia respectively, Sasha is the only human in Toad Tower.
* TokenCompetentMinion: Sasha is the only member of Grime's forces who manages to help him make headway in his plans for conquest, [[spoiler:and they do succeed -- only briefly, though]].
* TokenWhite: Anne and Marcy are of Asian descent, while Sasha is the only one of the three who is of European heritage.
* TomboynessUpgrade: She was originally a manipulative AlphaBitch who wears a Catholic schoolgirl outfit and mostly uses combat moves derived from cheerleading. But now, as a comrade to Grime, she acts more brashly, wears more masculine clothing, and is more prone to enjoying violence.
* TouchedByVorlons: Similar to Anne and Marcy, she seems to possess superhuman strength, which manifests as the pink gem's glow in her eyes, though she doesn't use it until "Barrel's Warhammer".
* ToxicFriendInfluence:
** To Anne, big time. The day they left Earth, Sasha convinced Anne to ditch school, steal money from arcade machines, spray graffiti, and cause chaos in a local park. And that's before uncomfortably pressuring Anne into forgetting about the birthday party her parents were throwing for her in lieu of swiping the music box Marcy found at the thrift store.
** She ends up being one to ''Grime'', encouraging him to be more manipulative and cutthroat. He, in turn, becomes one to ''her'', encouraging her to assert her dominance in her friendship with Anne.
* TookALevelInBadass: After her loss to Anne in the season 1 finale, we next see Sasha training hard in the woods, and she's even able to go toe-to-toe with one of Newtopia's greatest warriors.
* TookALevelInKindness: At the start of Season 3, she finally overcome with [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone huge remorse over her past actions]] and decide to pull a HeelFaceTurn by helping the Wartwood citizens fighting against the Frobots and forming a Wartwood Resistance to fight against King Andrias and his army. As the leader of the Resistance, she became a BenevolentBoss to the rest of the members and began to treat them very well, no longer relying in toxic manipulation and control.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Matt Braly revealed in his Website/{{Reddit}} AMA that hers is orange chicken.
* TrappedInAnotherWorld: The music box brings her, Marcy, and Anne to the frogs' world. She's held prisoner by Grime, but manages to earn his favor, which she wants to use to find her friends and go home.
* TrueCompanions: She gradually develops this dynamic with Grime, with the two growing from captain and lieutenant to best friends. [[spoiler:In "Turning Point", Grime, despite feeling like defending Wartwood is a waste of time, chooses to stay, solely because of his loyalty to Sasha.]] [[spoiler:When it's finally time for Sasha to leave Amphipia for good in "The Hardest Thing", the two try to have a dignified sendoff with each other, before breaking down in tears and hugging, promising to never forget each other. Their goodbye is just as hard as Anne's farewell to the Plantars, showing just how much the two love each other.]]
* TsurimeEyes: Unlike Anne and Marcy, who both have rounded eyes, Sasha's have a sharp point. It serves to highlight her aggressive and manipulative personality while feeding into EvilIsAngular.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Sasha was the one who convinced Anne to shoplift the music box, after Marcy suggested it as a birthday present, having no idea what it could do. [[spoiler:TheReveal that Marcy knew what the box could do makes her more of an UnwittingPawn instead]].
* UsedToBeASweetKid: The flashback in "The Third Temple" shows she wasn't always controlling and willing to fend off bullies for Anne and Marcy without expecting anything in return. Her parents' divorce is what shaped her into the controlling and toxic friend she was in the start of the series.
* VillainBall: She knew [[spoiler:ever since "Prison Break" where Anne was, since Bog told Commander Grime about the unrest in Wartwood and the guard he nearly recruited. It would have been very easy to go there first and coerce Anne into joining her, since it was way before Hop Pop caused unrest, and Mayor Toadstool was the one causing trouble. Anne would have come along, since only one dislikable toad that tried to kill Sprig would have been targeted. Instead, she waited long enough for Hop Pop to run for mayor, making him a target, and Anne instead fought for him and Sprig]].
* VillainousFriendship: She and Grime are about as close as Anne and Sprig. "Toadcatcher" shows that after her fight with Anne, Sasha has become extremely protective of Grime as her only friend.
* VillainsBlendInBetter: She adapts to the hierarchy of Toad Tower faster than Anne does with the country life of Wartwood. It's kind of justified because she was the AlphaBitch of her school, and the toads' military and force-focused approach fit in ''extremely'' well with her prior skillset, not to mention Anne, even at her worst, never forcibly bullied others into submission and going along with her like Sasha does with her subordinates.
* VirtuousCharacterCopy: She ends up being this to [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender Princess Azula.]] [[spoiler:Both of them are teenage girls that were [[AlphaBitch respected and feared in their home towns,]] are highly skilled in [[TheChessmaster technical strategies]] and [[ManipulativeBitch manipulation]], have two childhood friends, one of them being a [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold cynical girl with a heart of gold]] that eventually [[GrewASpine stood up to them]] (Mai and Anne), and the other being a [[GenkiGirl sweet girl]] that just went along with their plans until they decided to follow their other friend (Ty Lee and Marcy) and both of them managed to take over an entire kingdom at the end of their shows' second seasons. However, while Azula pretty much lost Mai and Ty Lee forever, severed any personal connections she might have had and [[VillainousBreakdown ended up succumbing to her own hatred and insanity]], [[HeelRealization Sasha managed to learn from her mistakes,]] become a better person and leader, made a genuinely strong connection with Captain Grime, managed to rekindle her friendship with Anne and Marcy, and [[EarnYourHappyEnding ended the series a better, mentally healthy person]] ([[HairTriggerTemper occasional anger issues aside]]).]]
* VocalEvolution: In the episode where she first speaks, "Prison Break", her voice was a bit more higher-pitched compared to later episodes.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: At least, she claims that working with Grime is a [[NecessarilyEvil necessary evil]] to find her friends and stay alive in Amphibia. [[spoiler:It becomes NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist when she reveals the plan to execute Hop Pop was ''her'' idea, and she expects an understandably horrified and rebellious Anne to abide by it.]]
* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman:
** Doubles as EvilCannotComprehendGood. It's clear that Sasha doesn't place as much value on the lives of the inhabitants of Amphibia as she does herself and her human friends. She doesn't understand why Anne is willing to stand up to her and [[spoiler:defend Hop Pop from being sacrificed]], because he and the rest of Wartwood are "just a bunch of slimy frogs" who don't matter.
** Subverted in season 2. [[spoiler:She tells Grime that he's one of the few people left that she cares about, now that she and Anne have grown apart.]]
* WomanScorned: In "True Colors," [[spoiler:Sasha tries to send Anne home to separate her from the Plantars out of spite for Anne ending their friendship]].
* WorfHadTheFlu: Despite having had several months to do nothing but train, [[spoiler:Sasha loses her rematch with Anne in ''True Colors''. That said, Sasha was trying to reason with Anne the whole time, and didn't actually want to hurt her, while Anne was far beyond the point of caring and was going in for the kill. If Sasha had been a less skilled warrior, the duel would have likely ended far messier]].
* WouldHurtAChild: After Sprig calls her out on how she's not a real friend to Anne, just a bully who uses her, Sasha draws her sword on him, and would've cut him down if Anne hadn't blocked her.
-->'''Sasha:''' I think I've had enough of you, squeaky toy.
* WouldRatherSuffer: More specifically, Sasha would have rather ''died'' than live with the fact that Anne and Marcy were doing fine without her. This is why she refused to stop going after the Warhammer rather than listen to reason and flee to safety with Grime, Braddock, and Percy, endangering not only herself and them, but innocent people within Toad Tower too. By only thinking about herself, she loses the friendship of Braddock and Percy.
* YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe: Her word-for-word response upon learning [[spoiler:Marcy purposely intended to bring her and Anne to Amphibia]].
* YoungConqueror: Sasha is a 13-year-old teen who planned to conquer Newtopia and take over Amphibia. She would've succeeded if not [[spoiler:discovering Andrias' invasion plan with the Calamity Box]]
* YoungerThanTheyLook: Sasha is 13 but is the oldest-looking of the Calamity Trio and looks her intended age of 15-16, especially when she transports to Amphibia and transitions from her schoolgirl attire into her armor.
