Sasha Balalaika

Sasha Balaika is a noticeable side character you meet in the story, and joins your base. She is a Demas, a character with black sclera persecuted, and distruted by many. They lack the ability to use magic, but in exchange they are extremely resistant to all magical attacks.

Sasha is a hardy mercenary from the nation of Ustanak. She grew up with nothing, and led a life of incredible violence since the very beginning simply to survive in the frozen wasteland she was born into. Every time the Ustanaki warlords vied for power, she was always there scraping by from the spoils, but a person can only handle so much bloodshed before they either become beasts themselves or completely shutdown.

Sasha shut down.

She was rescued by a priest called Regulus, and after a few years of dicey teamwork, the two fell in love, and settled to raise their kid together with the care neither received as in their own lives. They succeeded in a way neither thought possible, and now spend their days living in a nearby village as hunters. That is until the day their village is raided, and they take up arms to defend themselves with the help of the Iron Wing.

Sasha is an older woman who has a hard time being honest with people about her feeling, but she isn't shy about telling things as they are. She's a tad grouchy, and very easy to anger, but time and love have cooled her down so she can see when she's at fault. She likes taking the youth, and whipping them into shape, and looking out for them when possible, but again she'll never admit it out loud.
