29. Sasha Bordeaux

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/7/0/1/AAQcMAAADifV.jpg

Sasha serves Z'onn Z'orr
as warden of its holding
overseeing those

Those found doing harm
and brought in for questioning
or for protection

Bloodfruit, several times
has sought those in holding cells
finding common ground

She see in those souls
Similarities that she
Can't always explain

This act requires
Frequent interaction with
This cold, metal lass

Sasha's unique speech
Comes through exclusively in
the form of haiku

I can't imagine
This is easy for Scarlet
but it's fun to read.

Sasha is a difficult character to write about, not because it's being done in haiku, but because doing so requires bringing up a section of the campaign that was particularly difficult for me. Sasha was one of the earliest characters that clicked with me. There are so many complex mysteries revolving around Sasha, her past, the way she speaks and presents herself and the terrible things she may have done. And from the earliest weeks of rp, I dove headfirst into all of those mysteries. I immediately love a quirky character that breaks the molds of those around them, and looking back through old chats, there's a weird sense of bittersweet nostalgia seeing old discussions about how Bloodfruit and Sasha got along immediately.

Then I ran into personal issues, which I won't spend more time talking about on here than necessary, and had to take a several month hiatus from the campaign. As I was gone, the mysteries continued to evolve and develop, as did inter-character relationships and Z'onn Z'orr as a whole. I ended up finding that Sasha's mystery, being as deep as it is, was difficult to jump back into after that time away, especially as Sasha's relationships evolved more with others in my absence.

That's not to say I missed it, as the mystery is still expanding through current sessions, and I still love my visits with Sasha when stepping into holding, though I think there's a mental block for me stopping me from jumping back in the way I had before.
