* EvilCannotComprehendGood: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] in that Sasha's not exactly "evil", just selfish. In Chapter 2, she struggles to understand why [[WideEyedIdealist Sprig]] would save her from the lake monster when she admits she would have just left Sprig for dead, not understanding that some people are just that kind. It's because of this that Sasha starts to see Sprig as an actual friend.

** Discussed in Chapter 15 with Anne and Grime. Grime points out from Anne's stories about her that Sasha seems to always get off scot-free, while Anne is left to take the blame. Suffice to say, this discussion didn't exactly ring well with Anne.
** Ironically, Sasha also averts this trope. While she easily got out of any punishment back on Earth just as Anne says, in Amphibia pretty much all of Sasha's actions end up having surprisingly swift consequences for her and/or the people around her. It gets to the point that Sprig and Polly decide to name the phenomenon.

Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
This or these examples of Surprisingly Realistic Outcome seem to violate at least one of these rules, which disqualifies them: No character reactions (characters get angry, don't forgive, don't change their personality instantly, etc.); Too fantastical (depends on the properties of magic, powers, sci-fi tech, monsters, etc.); Not surprising (a character was warned about the outcome, it's used to provide Karma or An Aesop, or it simply follows normal conventions for this genre or medium); Plot happens (the example only describes an event, but not why audiences would expect a different, unrealistic outcome); Not an outcome (a character just explains why something wouldn't work as expected, or something is just an innate aspect of the setting or character that has a logical reason for being present); More of a Deconstruction (the event has major, lasting effects on the plot, make something more realistic, but not completely realistic, or a parody/fanwork applies realistic consequences to the events of a different work); or fits better under a different trope. See the trope's definition for more details. If you believe a removal was a mistake, please bring it up in the cleanup thread.


* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Many instances show that it really doesn't matter if you end up in a world of FrogMen. Actions have consequences as Sasha learns it the hard way. Examples include:
** Ignoring the warning sign about swimming in the lake only to be eaten by said lake monster.
** A human has different dietary needs than an Amphibian.
** Lying to the whole village about your product will cause them to resent you for your actions.
** Being a toxic friend will eventually backfire once they find out you've not exactly been a true friend to them.

TRS cleanup


* AbsenteeActor: Sasha tries to invoke this in Chapter 16, which is appropriately called "Date Night without Sasha". Immediately sensing another misadventure is about to happen, and [[WeirdnessMagnet knowing her track record by now]], Sasha tries to be as uninvolved with the story's events as possible. When things ''still'' go wrong and she's dragged into the plot regardless, she smugly gloats that it at least wasn't her fault this time, only for Polly to snark back that she didn't do anything to help prevent it either.

* ForWantOfANail: Due to her manipulative tendencies, Sasha is far more likely to come up with plans and weigh her options in any given situation, as opposed to Anne, who prefers to think with her gut, meaning that even when she experiences the same adventures as Anne, they tend to have completely different inciting incidents or quickly diverge. Her less friendly and more confrontational attitude also means the townsfolk are much slower to warm up to her; for example, by "Frog of the Year", Anne is beloved and trusted by the town, whereas the fic's equivalent still has half the citizens view her as little more than a monster Hop Pop managed to tame.
