Sasha

Sasha Tanner is the friend/girlfriend of James Mitchell.

Appearance
Of average height, with a full-bodied, attractve build. Sasha has a lean face that often gives her a stern look, if not for her frequent cheerful expression. She wears her long blonde hair loose, often swept over one shoulder, and has brilliant blue eyes. She prefers light clothing in light pastels or greys, and is equally as comfortable in a formal gown, a suit or an airy sundress.

Personality
Christina is open, honest, forthright and dependable. She always strives to be a hard worker and a devoted friend. She takes her duties as team leader and manager very seriously, even if her team rarely seems to. She is delighted by her newfound public attention, and does her best to look good for the press. Her relatively sheltered upbringing has left her somewhat naïve, and she is frequently dazzled by her newfound fame.

Early Life
Sasha is the younger of two daughters born to a pair of former ZBC champions. Wealthy many times over off their earnings, they raised Christina and her sister Anita in the lap of luxury. The sisters were close, and Sasha idolised Anita for all her accomplishments. Both were trained as competition pilots by the best private teachers available, and took naturally to Zoid piloting.

Anita graduated to full-time competition and quickly became a media darling. Her distinctive Shadow Fox zoid and fast, dynamic fighting style endeared her to the media. She rapidly rose through the ranks with an unbeaten streak to become the singles champion of the elitist Zoids Unlimited Battles competition. Sasha pushed herself hard through her training, and eventually took the stage as a rookie in the same competition, two years after Anita's debut.

Her debut battle, a fifteen-Zoid battle royale broke the record books, and she took history as the winner of the largest non-team battle to date. Based on her position in the match, Reed Dowling chose her to lead a team of young, media-friendly newcomers which she gladly accepted.

Combat skills
Sasha always tries to stay mobile, using her zoids' speed and turretted Machine Gun to track around and evade enemies. In team battles she stays close to Tina's Whitz Wolf and tries to pin down enemy Zoids. She only rarely reverts to her Strike Laser Claw, and only when the situation is safe and her shot is clear. She has been known to occaisionally fake being taken out in order to lure in enemies.
