Name story:

Before BJDs, I had a vinyl doll which is called 'Sassy Doll' and the name stuck so I called her Sassy. I customized her to look like a Living Dead Doll. She was still around when my first BJD (Yuzuru) came. I liked her character a lot so I wrote her into Yuzuru's backstory, hoping that one day she'll have a BJD version. Then, the name Sassy became Sashika, then finally Sasha. I found out that 'Sasha' is a diminutive of the Slavic name, Aleksandr/Aleksandra. So I decided her name will be Aleksandra :)

Character age:

25

Character gender:

Female

Offsite roleplay:

This doll's character is not available for offsite roleplay.

Aleksandra or Sasha, is a lolita-fashion designer for the 'Fleurfolk' -which she co-owns with her best friend, Asumiko (Micchan) She mostly designs the gothic-aristocrat line for the shop and makes samples, fabric design and sourcing. At times, she also models their clothes.

Sasha is a very outgoing and friendly person. She can't stand staying at home and just lounging around, she needs to be doing something all the time. On her free time she goes to concerts with Micchan or some fandom friends, at some cafe doing sketches, looking for good fabric or just sewing things.

Born to immigrant parents from St. Petersburg, Sasha has lived in Japan all her life and mostly speaks Japanese than Russian (only uses Russian at her parent's home) her 'foreign-ness' became the reason why she was bullied and isolated by others almost all her school life. Until this one girl named Asumiko who everyone liked and adored in class, approached her one day. They became friends because of their mutual interest in Lolita fashion.

Sasha absolutely adored Micchan and even shared her dreams of having a Lolita dress shop. A year before they graduated from fashion school, they developed 'Fleurfolk' (Flower People) -a brand which caters to different types of Lolita. When they finally graduated, they opened a physical shop.
