Sasha Braus was a former member of the Scout Regiment and one of the 104th Cadet Corps, ranking 9th among the top 10 graduates. Known for her compulsive love of food and eccentric behavior, she became affectionately nicknamed the "Potato Girl" after stealing a potato during training. Sasha originated from Dauper Village, a rural settlement in the southern territory of Wall Rose, where hunting was central to survival. 

Sasha was a young woman with reddish-brown hair tied in a ponytail and light brown eyes. She had a slender figure and stood at an average height. Her bangs framed her face, usually falling to about her neck. On duty, she wore the Scout Regiment uniform, while off-duty she preferred simple blouses and skirts, sometimes layered with a vest. By the year 854, Sasha had grown taller, cut her hair shorter, and adopted the black Scout Regiment uniform during the Marley campaign. She also carried a brown bandolier with ammunition for her rifle, reflecting her role as a sharpshooter. 

Sasha was remembered as a friendly, fun-loving, and eccentric girl. Although simple-minded and often timid under pressure, she possessed remarkable intuition and courage, making her a surprisingly capable soldier. Food was central to her character—her enormous appetite often drove her actions and provided comic relief even in dire situations. Her nickname "Potato Girl" became iconic after her tendency to steal food. Despite this quirky image, Sasha was deeply compassionate, unable to bring herself to harm civilians or children, even during war.

Earlier in her life, Sasha was intolerant and protective of her traditions, resenting the influx of Wall Maria refugees who competed for hunting resources. Over time, however, she grew more empathetic and broadened her worldview, committing herself fully to the Scout Regiment’s cause.

Childhood: Raised in Dauper Village, Sasha grew up hunting with her father. Scarcity of food during the Titan crisis shaped her gluttonous tendencies.

104th Cadet Corps: Sasha joined military training, where her odd manners and obsession with food set her apart. Despite her eccentricity, she graduated 9th overall. During training, she began to hide her rural accent, embarrassed by it, and adopted a more formal way of speaking.

Scout Regiment: As a Scout, Sasha proved herself in battles across Wall Rose and beyond. She developed into a skilled archer and sharpshooter, roles that suited her sharp instincts.

Year 854 and the Marley Invasion: By this time, Sasha had grown into a cold but professional soldier in combat. Alongside Jean, she acknowledged that killing soldiers had become easier with time, though she remained unable to kill innocents. During the Marley invasion, she played an active combat role, helping the Scouts succeed in their mission.

Legacy: Despite her death at the hands of Gabi Braun, Sasha left a lasting impact on her comrades. Her warmth, humor, and humanity stood as reminders of what the Scouts were fighting for. Her death was especially devastating to her closest friends, including Connie Springer and Jean Kirstein, and became a turning point for Eren Yeager, whose reaction to her loss foreshadowed his darker path.
