Sasha

Sasha

See your rugged hands and a silver knife

Twenty dollars in your hand that you hold so tight

All the evidence of your vacant life

Sasha, as is characteristic of lions mane jellyfish, is quite tall, standing at a generous six feet and five inches. He has mid-back length coral coloured "hair" flecked with many uncoloured translucent strands and is typically braided or pulled into a loose bun. His weight is relatively average and he isn't exactly the freshest guy around, wearing baggy sweaters with over-sized collars and whatever bottoms he happens to grab first. Unless, that is, he is working, in which case he wears the typical doctor's uniform. His arms are coral coloured like his hair, his skin gradually changing to the colour starting from his chest. Cnidocytes cover his arms as well as much of his hair and can be activated at will.

When Sasha was a child, he dreamed of playing turf wars with the inklings. He wanted to feel the recoil the of a Splattershot in his hands as he fired round after round of ink at enemy players. He wanted to earn money, enough to pull him and his mother out of the Daggertooth Disctrict. Those dreams were quickly dashed, though: Only inklings could participate in turf wars. However, his mother was a doctor and wanted him to apprentice under her for some time, so reluctantly, he did. He dealt poorly with the work at first, finding it difficult, stressful, and mentally draining. He continued the apprenticeship for only a few years before ending it and seeking work elsewhere. He found a labor job, there was always call for labor, but it didn't last. Boredom and melancholy plagued him during his work as did. There was a listlessness in his step, the kind brought about when you're stuck doing something you neither enjoy or hate. Sasha found himself preferring to be learning with his mother. After just three months, he quit his job and returned to his apprenticeship. At the age of twenty, he completed his apprenticeship and began helping his mother as a full fledged doctor.

He's not much of a fighter, really, neither is his mother, but they're some of the few doctors in the district and don't turn away patients with gang-related injuries or too little funds (they're very willing to work with a barter system or allow payments over time), so most tend to leave him be.
