— SASHA BRAUS’ INCREDIBLE AND ASTONISHING CHARACTER, A THREAD.
♡ this is just my opinion and obviously you don’t have to agree with everything i say!! this is just how i personally interpret her character. this is my first thread so please bare with me. also, this thread includes spoilers.
My points:
1. selfless, genuinely cares about others
2. brave and courageous
3. mood-maker/cheers up anyone
4. combat skills
5. humane
1. SELFLESSNESS AND HER CARE FOR OTHERS.

During the Battle of Trost arc, she saves Samuel, one of her comrades, when he got knocked off from the wall, without hesitation.
In episode 36, she is in utter shock and disbelief when she talks to Bertholdt when trying to save eren. “This is all a misunderstanding!” She believes that her comrades are good people and she didn’t want to believe that he was the Colossal Titan.
When she saves Kaya from a titan with no gear. Just an axe and a bow and arrow. She could’ve just ran away with her horse, but even without her right gear, she still saves Kaya and makes sure that she’ll be okay.
2. HER COURAGE AND BRAVENESS.

Successfully running away from a titan with just ONE arrow after failing to aim. During this, she feels frightened, but her adrenaline of saving herself and Kaya drives her to do this.
Choosing the Survey Corps even though she is terrified of titans. We can see here that she is very afraid and even starts crying, but she does not back away. She still decides to join the corps. She chose to face her fear of titans.
3. HER POSITIVE AND MOOD-MAKER LIKE PERSONALITY.

When everyone was feeling distraught and petrified when they were stuck and unable to retreat, she tries to encourage everyone by showing her bubbly personality and even tells Armin to help fire everyone up.
Telling Niccolo that his food is great and appreciating everything he cooks, and that lead to Niccolo saying she was the only person that distracted him from this war.
When she stole the meat from her seniors, she tells everyone that “once we recapture our territory, we will be able to keep more cow’s and sheep again”, hence everyone feeling more cool and confident during their mission.
4. HER COMBAT SKILLS.

I feel like many people gloss over her combat skills too much. She ranked 9th in the 104th training corps, and instructor Shadis points out “she moves quickly and has remarkable instincts”.
Her skills on the bow and arrow. In the uprising arc where they confront the kidnappers, she perfectly aims to the gun instead of the man or Mikasa.
Without Sasha, the plan during the fight between Kenny squad and Levi squad would’ve been very challenging and almost impossible. Her flaming bow and arrow really had a significance in the almost success of this.
Her gun skills during the Marley arc. We didn’t get to see much of it but from what we saw, we can infer that she is incredibly good at it.
During the Female Titan arc, she recognizes that Annie’s scream is like when an animal cries for help, and tells Mikasa to be careful. Mikasa says that her instincts are usually correct.
5. HUMANE QUALITIES

During the fight with Reiner in season 3, her and Connie are hestiant on killing Reiner, since they still sees him as their comrade.
Her love for food is very apparent, and we can see that food is very important to her, as her last words were “meat”. I personally do not like this end to her character, but it does make sense due to her love for food.
Her being terrified of titans. As this is very much how a regular person would react to such scary creatures.
and end of thread! sasha is way more than just “potato girl”. she has amazing qualities to her and I hope more people will recognize her remarkable character and not reduce it to something small. thank you for reading! ♡
