Lore & Background
Sasha and Tyreese are first thrown out of the prison and serve Woodbury as soldiers and look-outs, until the Governor's cruelty drives them back to Rick's group. She survives the prison illness, then loses Bob and Tyreese after Terminus and becomes more hardened. At Alexandria she is the lookout in the bell-tower and develops a romance with Abraham, until Negan murders Abraham and Glenn.
Reader's Guide
Sasha is described as a realist with a pragmatic approach to survival. After Abraham's death she cares for Maggie at the Hilltop but seeks vengeance on Negan. Captured by the Saviors after a botched assassination attempt with Rosita, she ingests poison rather than be used against Alexandria, turns into a walker that attacks Negan's men, and is put down by Maggie.
