So do you see she as a shy girl?
Interesting, i think she is more like flavorless, something like a serious girl, i don´t know if i´m choosing the correct words, in my language it would be "sosa" but i don´t know if that have a traduction to english.
I like Sasha, and if i´m not wrong she is russian so better for me, i always have had a thing for russian girls.
But maybe she is shy and i just don´t remember how is she, so much time without playing the game and her screentime until chapter 4 was short.
I began my description with shy but, perhaps aloof is the better word here. (She could be an introvert and she appears to be aloof/shy due to this aspect of her character). She is also clearly embarrassed about men/their intentions and, it seems that she has some reason to want to keep men at arm's length.
She's been sheltered, perhaps because of a failed attempt to kidnap/harm her (we don't know if Sasha's wound was incurred in the same kind of event that resulted in Bella's sister to be in a coma or for Summer to have disappeared).
I do need to correct my original post - she was not at the tabletop event, but rather the book club gathering.
She has her Aunt as a bodyguard at the book club gathering and, for all we know, there is/are undercover bodyguards attending ZPR, in place to help keep her safe.
We don't know how long she has been protected in this fashion but her exposure to the world seems to be controlled and influenced by her family, which helps create a bit of a hands-off vibe from her (setting aside the bodyguard aspect).
She shows empathy to the MC when she finds him starting to have a panic attack on the balcony overlooking the book club gathering and in my playthrough, she helps him with a drug (which also tells me that she carries said drug for panic attacks, likely her own - nightmares from her own physical attack perhaps??).
She is careful about what she reveals about herself and yet she risked this reveal to do a good thing for the MC.
I think Ocean will show us a bit more of Sasha's story in the coming day(s) - we are sparring with Ayua on the following day - what I take for S2 CH 1. Sasha and Ayua are also sparring partners so perhaps this sparring event will have a bit of an audience.
Beyond that, Ocean does a great job revealing layers of life's experiences that provide us a better framework for 'why' some of the LI's are the way they are now (think about what Bella shared about how Zara was treated by her mom or how Bella was bullied in middle school by Melanie Ceril and her clique).
I believe that these reveals are critical for the MC to better understand the women he is spending time with and those who are/may become LIs.
Cheers!!
