'''Sashiromiya Sasha''' ({{lang|ja|左城宮 則紗}}) is a fan-made character created by a [[wikipedia:Nico Nico Douga|Nico Nico Douga]] user called '''NRT''', who posted the video "[http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/nm7753348 {{lang|ja|東方非想天則、新キャラ”左城宮 則紗”描いてみた}}]" (''<add romanji here>'', lit. <add translation here>) on July 26, 2009. NRT wanted to show his/her idea of a final boss for ''[[Touhou Hisoutensoku]]'', which the full version was released on August 15th 2009. It somewhat suprised some fans who saw this video that Sasha did not appear in the game. NRT is not a VIPPER from [[2ch]].
{{nihongo|'''Sasha Sashiromiya'''|左城宮 則紗}} is a fan-made character created by a [[wikipedia:Nico Nico Douga|Nico Nico Douga]] user called '''NRT'''. NRT is not a VIPPER from [[2ch]]. Sasha is a [[daidarabotchi]] who can control shadows, who apparently is a "ground-type [[youkai]]".


Sasha has the abilitie to manipulate shadows. With this, she can project shadows on fog and can create huge figures.  
==General Information==
Sasha first appeared on the video {{nihongo|"[http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/nm7753348 I tried to create a new character for Touhou Hisoutensoku, "Sasha Sashiromiya"]|東方非想天則、新キャラ”左城宮 則紗”描いてみた|Touhou Hisoutensoku, shin kyara "Sashiromiya Sasha" kaitemita}} on July 26, 2009. NRT wanted to show his/her idea of a final [[boss]] for ''[[Touhou Hisoutensoku]]'', which the full version was released on August 15th 2009. Later on, it was said that she was "a [[youkai]] who was on track to be the culprit behind the Hisoutensoku Incident. For some hard-to-understand reason, she's treated like she was never there." After about four years of official absence, Sasha made an actual fangame appearance as the 2nd [[stage]] [[Boss#Midboss|midboss]] of ''[[White Names Spoiled Past]]'', a game that also has characters based on unknown figures in official ''[[Touhou Project]]'' works.


==Concept==
===Ability===
Sasha has the ability to manipulate shadows. With this, despite been a [[Daidarabotchi]] that are considered to be hugely figures, she projects shadows on fog or mountain mist, creating what appears to be huge figures. Since Sasha's body is within that shadow, she has a limit to the destruction she can cause with its size. Apparently, because the Japanese word for {{nihongo|'moonlight'|月影|}} uses the kanji that means {{nihongo|'shadow'|影}}, she can also manipulate moonlight. One story involved with this is that many people witnessed countless shadows appearing to dance in the moonlit mountain fog, and the story of it was passed down as that of a legendary witches' banquet.
 
==Background Information==
===Name===
===Name===
Her fill name is {{nihongo|''Sasha Sashiromiya''|左城宮 則紗}}. Her last name {{nihongo||左城宮|Sashiromiya}} has {{nihongo||左|sa}} that literally means 'Left', {{nihongo||城|shiro}} that literally means 'Castle' and {{nihongo||宮|miya}} that literally means 'Palace'. Her first name has {{nihongo||則|sa}} that literally means 'Law' and {{nihongo||紗|sha}} that literally means to 'Gauze'. It seems that "Sasha" is written using [[Wikipedia:Ateji|ateji]] because it's a given name with origins in the Romance languages, which has the meaning "defender, helper of mankind". According to her profile, Sasha's name is a reference to the anime [[Wikipedia:Umineko no Naku Koro ni|Umineko]], which should have some relation to the cosplay of [[Marisa Kirisame]].
===Design===
Sasha's design shows that she has green eyes and blue hair with antler-like twin ahoge. She wears a blue [[wikipedia:Yukata|yukata]] with a number of red lotus flowers around and wears some white socks and [[wikipedia:Geta|geta]] shoes. Although she's a [[Daidarabotchi]], her height is the same as a [[human]]. According to her profile, her species is perceived as being extremely huge, but what they do is project their shadows on mountain mist, manipulating it so they just look huge.
==Sasha's Appearances==
;''White Names Spoiled Past''
Sasha appears as the stage 2 midboss in ''[[White Names Spoiled Past]]'', a fangame made with the cooperation between NRT and others, including the team behind ''[[The Last Comer]]''. The plot itself involves an incident where the [[human]]s in [[Gensokyo]] find themselves unable to form new memories. The cast features characters made by NRT as hypothetical versions of unknown figures  from official games of the ''[[Touhou Project]]'' that aren't very notable.


===Appearance===
In her appearance, [[White Names Spoiled Past/Characters#Uka Kadofuyu|Uka]] has requested her services as a bodyguard; Sasha herself couldn't care less about bodyguarding because she wanted to kill time by having a bout with [[Reimu Hakurei]] and others. It's said that Reimu and [[Marisa Kirisame]] have met her, but kind of haven't, where [[Sanae Kochiya]] didn't know who she was. The game breaks the [[Canon#Fourth wall|fourth wall]] as how she's not a forgotten character, which is true as she is notable amongst the fanbase.
In her official art, Sasha wears a blue [[wikipedia:Yukata|yukata]] with a number of red lotus flower around and wears some [[wikipedia:Geta|geta]] shoes. She has green eyes and blue hair with antler-like twin ahoge. Althought she's a [[Daidarabotchi]], her hight is the same as a [[human]].

Sasha Sashiromiya (左城宮 則紗) is a fan-made character created by a Nico Nico Douga user called NRT. NRT is not a VIPPER from 2ch. Sasha is a daidarabotchi who can control shadows, who apparently is a "ground-type youkai".

General Information

Sasha first appeared on the video "I tried to create a new character for Touhou Hisoutensoku, "Sasha Sashiromiya" (東方非想天則、新キャラ”左城宮 則紗”描いてみた Touhou Hisoutensoku, shin kyara "Sashiromiya Sasha" kaitemita) on July 26, 2009. NRT wanted to show his/her idea of a final boss for Touhou Hisoutensoku, which the full version was released on August 15th 2009. Later on, it was said that she was "a youkai who was on track to be the culprit behind the Hisoutensoku Incident. For some hard-to-understand reason, she's treated like she was never there." After about four years of official absence, Sasha made an actual fangame appearance as the 2nd stage midboss of White Names Spoiled Past, a game that also has characters based on unknown figures in official Touhou Project works.

Ability

Sasha has the ability to manipulate shadows. With this, despite been a Daidarabotchi that are considered to be hugely figures, she projects shadows on fog or mountain mist, creating what appears to be huge figures. Since Sasha's body is within that shadow, she has a limit to the destruction she can cause with its size. Apparently, because the Japanese word for 'moonlight' (月影) uses the kanji that means 'shadow' (), she can also manipulate moonlight. One story involved with this is that many people witnessed countless shadows appearing to dance in the moonlit mountain fog, and the story of it was passed down as that of a legendary witches' banquet.

Background Information

Name

Her fill name is Sasha Sashiromiya (左城宮 則紗). Her last name Sashiromiya (左城宮) has sa () that literally means 'Left', shiro () that literally means 'Castle' and miya () that literally means 'Palace'. Her first name has sa () that literally means 'Law' and sha () that literally means to 'Gauze'. It seems that "Sasha" is written using ateji because it's a given name with origins in the Romance languages, which has the meaning "defender, helper of mankind". According to her profile, Sasha's name is a reference to the anime Umineko, which should have some relation to the cosplay of Marisa Kirisame.

Design

Sasha's design shows that she has green eyes and blue hair with antler-like twin ahoge. She wears a blue yukata with a number of red lotus flowers around and wears some white socks and geta shoes. Although she's a Daidarabotchi, her height is the same as a human. According to her profile, her species is perceived as being extremely huge, but what they do is project their shadows on mountain mist, manipulating it so they just look huge.

Sasha's Appearances

White Names Spoiled Past

Despite been a fan-made character, Sasha is a very notable character in the fanbase, arguably as notable as Mitori Kawashiro. As such, she's often compared to other fan-made characters such as Mitori, Rinbokusan Sasaki and Karen Yawata.

  • Derivative work appearances: She's one of the few fan-made characters to make an appearance in Touhoumon, however, she doesn't appear in the official patch of the game.
  • Friends with Cirno: Sasha is often seen with Cirno in fan works, presumably because Sasha's a Daidarabotchi and that Cirno was chasing one in Touhou Hisoutensoku. They either shown to be friends or enemies.

Sasha Sashiromiya
Species: Daidarabotchi

Abilities: Capable of manipulating shadows

A youkai who was on track to be the culprit behind the Hisoutensoku Incident. For some hard-to-understand reason, she's treated like she was never there. (One could say that's just a pretext.) Daidarabocchi youkai are generally perceived as being extremely huge, but they actually project their shadows on mountain mist, manipulating it so they just look huge.

References

  1. A reference to Umineko no Naku Koro ni, a murder mystery series taking place on the island of Rokkenjima. Locked-room mysteries are very common in the series. Sasha's own name (a Western name spelled with kanji, then "___omiya") happens to be a reference to the Umineko characters' own names as well.
  2. "Rokage" is a pun on "Rokken" from the previous version of the spell card; the second kanji is switched with the kanji for "shadow".
