Since the era of Jim Crow, black people could be more outspoken—to a point, particularly if they were female. To illustrate this, Sassy "Mammy" figures could scold the family they worked for and playfully berate their employers (to show that Blacks were not being oppressed). As the Civil Rights movement came up in the 60s, black people in media could be more outspoken. And because of feminism, the same thing applied for women. [[Twofer Token Minority|Combine these]], and you get the sassy black woman. It started with the heroines of [[Blaxploitation]] movies, like ''[[Coffy]]'' and ''[[Foxy Brown]]'' (both played by [[Pam Grier]]), and continued into the 1980s.

She's defined by her vivaciousness, humor and joie de vivre, and can make a good counterpoint to the more grim or snarky members of the cast. In complete contrast to her other variation, is not only a pleasure to be around, but is also so the go to girl for advice and help. These characters usually make good leaders, because though generally fun, insightful, they are still firm in decisions, trustworthy, and speak their minds. Also like the [[Spicy Latina]], the character will usually be sexually liberated and have no qualms acting in a sexual manner, though usually in a less pronounced manner. The positive version is now portrayed a lot more than the negative version, mainly because of the [[Unfortunate Implications]], that portraying black women in only this way had. It's also rather common for the positive variant to be the [[Only Sane Woman]] of a group, in which case her "sass" will be more like "[[Deadpan Snarker|exasperated sarcasm]]".

The odds that she's a [[Fag Hag]] are directly proportionate to [[Big Beautiful Woman|her weight]]. Arguably the [[Distaff Counterpart]] to the [[Scary Black Man]], though she can be quite scary herself when pissed off. Might also be a white character's [[Black Best Friend]]. Close cousin to the [[Spicy Latina]].

And ''[[No Real Life Examples, Please|no real life examples]]'', 'cuz I ain't accepting them, a'ight?

{{noreallife|real people are not defined by a single trope.}}
{{examples}}

== Advertising ==
* A fried chicken restaurant in Philadelphia invokes this trope by having the cashier be a sassy black lady who'll insult you if you take too long in ordering, amongst other things. The place has loyal customers, and tourists go just for the experience.

== Comics ==
* [[Suicide Squad|Amanda Waller]]
{{quote|'''Amanda Waller:''' ''([[Crazy Awesome|While threatening murderous convicts to back down]])'' I am fat, black, and menopausal. You do NOT want to mess with me!}}
* One of [[Black Panther]]'s Dora Milaje (personal bodyguards) was a Sassy Black Woman, introduced giving [[Incredible Hulk|The Hulk]] a [[Character Filibuster]] about social injustice.
* T'Challa's sister Shuri, and current Black Panther.
* [[Vixen]], even on her worst days is a sassy, level headed woman.
** Which led to interesting verbal conflicts with Amanda Waller, noted above, when they bickered at the time Vixen served in her [[Suicide Squad]].
* Natasha Irons, Vaporlock, Steel's niece.
* [[Ant]].
* Misty Knight, mainly because of her no nonsense attitude.
* Anissa and Jennifer Pierce (Thunder and Lightning), the daughters of hero Black Lightning.
* Raquel Ervin, Rocket from ''[[Icon]]''.
* Bumblebee from ''[[Teen Titans (Comic Book)|Teen Titans]]'' and ''[[Doom Patrol]]''.
* Agent 355 from ''[[Y: The Last Man]]''.


== Film ==
* Whoopi Goldberg in many of her roles. ''[[Sister Act]]'' for example.
* Any role played by Mo'nique.
** Except in ''[[Precious]]'', in which she won an Oscar for playing one [[Playing Against Type|VERY SCARY]] [[Evil Matriarch]].
* [[Queen Latifah]] in most of her roles. Hell, make that every female rapper who ever appeared in a movie.
* ''Domino'' had a whole crew of bank-robbing sassy black women.
* As has ''[[Set It Off]]'' (Including Latifah again).
* This was played deadly straight with the health insurance lady in 2004's ''[[Crash (film)|Crash]]'' (played by Loretta Divine, another actress famous for this role). Granted, the way the racist policeman treated her, this wasn't "sassyness" so much as perfectly reasonable behavior. However, even the most enlightened viewer couldn't help but wince at the name "Shaniqua Johnson".
* Wanda Sykes in any role she's ever played. She's a lot like this in real life as well.
* Abernathy and Kim from the latter part of ''[[Grindhouse]]: Death Proof'' qualify, Kim more than Abernathy.
* The 2008 drama ''Fireproof'' has an entire posse of these characters working at the hospital. Of course, they spend an inordinate amount of time gossiping about the (white) heroine's love life.
* Effie White in ''[[Dreamgirls]]''
* The Chorus Girls from ''[[Little Shop of Horrors]]'', and their [[Expy|Expies]], the Muses in Disney's ''[[Hercules (1997 film)||Hercules]]''.
* The Dynamites and Motormouth Maybelle from ''[[Hairspray]]''. Extra points since the latter is played by Queen Latifah in the latest film.
* In ''[[National Treasure]]'', Abigail meets one while hiding from a goon.
* Possible early example: Annie the maid in ''[[It's a Wonderful Life]]'', who certainly wasn't shy about speaking her mind. "I heard it; it's about time one'a you lunkheads SAID it!"
* Mammy, as played by Hattie McDaniel, from ''[[Gone with the Wind]]''. She does such an awesome job as Mammy that she won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar that year. What a character.
** And, of course, she reprised that exact role for ''[[Song of the South]]''.
* ''[[Jackie Brown]]'', by [[Quentin Tarantino]]. The film is a [[George Lucas Throwback|throwback]] to movies like ''[[Coffy]]'' and ''[[Foxy Brown]]'' and also stars [[Pam Grier]] as the epononymous Jackie Brown.
* [[Rosario Dawson]], who combines this with [[Badass Spaniard]] (not to mention [[Latin Lover]]), has been called by some the Y-Generation's [[Pam Grier]].
* Terry from ''[[Angels Revenge]]''.
* Dre's mother in the 2010 remake of [[The Karate Kid]].
* [[Tyler Perry]]'s Madea.
* Ronnie's wife in ''[[Halloween (film)|Halloween]]: H20''.
* An odd variation, in ''[[Psycho Beach Party]]'' Chicklet's second [[Split Personality]] is one of these... even though Chicklet is a white surfer chick.
* ''[[D.E.B.S.]]'' has the team's leader Max.
{{quote|'''Max:''' Who's your best friend?
'''Amy:''' ''You'' are my best friend.
'''Max:''' And what did I say to you the very first day at the Academy?
'''Amy:''' That's my bunk, [[Just Add Bitch|bitch]]. }}
* [[The Voice|Honey]], Frozone's wife from [[The Incredibles]].
* Maggie from [[13 Ghosts]], who spends most of the film being an annoying and ineffectual baby sitter but accidentally saves the day in the end.

== Literature ==
* Mammy from ''[[Gone with the Wind]]'' is awfully outspoken, especially considering the fact that ''she's a slave in the first part''.
* Topsy and Cassy from ''[[Uncle Tom's Cabin]]''.
* Lula in the [[Stephanie Plum]] novels.
* [[Older Than Print]]: Perhaps the most unlikely example of this is the eponymous Brunhild the Moor, official prosecuting attorney for the goddess Venus, in a [[The Late Middle Ages|15th century]] German poem, ''Die Mörin'', who spends most of the poem shamelessly abusing the author-hero, Hermann von Sachsenheim.
* Jessica in the ''[[Undead and Unwed|Undead And ...]]'' vampire series. Also the heroine's [[Black Best Friend]].
* Ray Epps' wife in the novelization of ''[[Transformers (film)|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen]]'' fits this. Also a bit of a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] in that she managed to get the good guys a piece of very vital, hard-to-relay-without-getting-caught information under the guise of wanting her husband to pay for plastic surgery.
* While only half black, Kyra Davies from the ''[[Allys World]]'' series fits the trope, but is portrayed almost unwaveringly positively.


== Live-Action TV ==
* There was a ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'' skit about ''[[The View]]'' where "Barbara Walters" was calling out all the stereotypes that the hosts fit into. Star Jones was "a sassy black woman like I've seen on TV."
** Maya Rudolph has been known to play this type of character. She tends to go beyond merely being "sassy" and just be downright rude.
* ''[[3rd Rock from the Sun]]'' further combines this with [[Sassy Secretary]], and Nina is the result.
* Tara, the [[Black Best Friend]] from ''[[True Blood]]''.
** Lafayette is a male version.
* ''[[Noah's Arc]]'': Similar to the Lafayette example above, the feminine, outspoken, sassy Alex fits the trope flawlessly.
* Deputy Raineesha Williams from ''[[Reno 911!]]''
* In ''[[Ugly Betty]]'', Ignacio's case worker is a sassy black woman who falls in love with him, much to his chagrin.
* Mahandra from ''[[Wonderfalls]]''.
* Harriet Winslow, the elevator operator, in ''[[Perfect Strangers]]''. ''[[Family Matters]]'' was originally supposed to be a show centering on her, since she was a particularly popular Sassy Black Woman. [[Spotlight-Stealing Squad|It]] [[Ascended Extra|didn't]] [[Extroverted Nerd|work]]. Seems to be a family trait, because both Estelle Winslow ("Mama" Winslow) and Laura are textbook examples of the Sassy Black Woman Syndrome.
* Patti in ''[[Eli Stone]]'' (also a [[Sassy Secretary]]).
* Willona Woods of ''[[Good Times]]'' - the [[Trope Codifier]].
* Helen of ''[[Drake and Josh]]''.
* Nurse Laverne Roberts of ''[[Scrubs]]''. (mmmmmmmhmm!)
* Rochelle, the mom, from ''[[Everybody Hates Chris]]''. Tichina Arnold's character on ''[[Martin]]'' was pretty much the same.
* Heylia in ''[[Weeds]]''. One episode begins with her busting Conrad's balls about something and segues directly into Nancy lecturing Shane. It's made clear that Heylia gives Conrad less space than Nancy gives Shane, even though Shane's eleven and Conrad's a grown man.
* Original Cindy on ''[[Dark Angel]]''.
* The Chief from ''[[Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego?]]'' is a non-[[Jive Turkey]]-ing version of this. Lynne Thigpen was ''good''.
* Rosita from the 2008 ''[[Doctor Who]]'' Christmas special.
* Destiny in ''[[One Life to Live]]''; one of the more positive examples as he was introduced as a [[Foil]]/girlfriend for Matthew just as he's going through a ''very'' grim plotline.
* Prosecutor Caroline Julian on ''[[Bones]]'', in all her scene-stealing glory, is very much this.
* Saaaaaandra Clark on ''227''.
* Regina and Lovita on ''[[The Steve Harvey Show]]''.
* Mercedes, of ''[[Glee]]''.
{{quote|'''Mercedes:''' [[Lampshade Hanging|Why does everyone assume I'm angry all the time? It's called being sassy.]]}}
* Bunifa Latifah Halifah Sharifa Jackson on ''[[Mad TV]]''
** Also, the hosts of ''Reality Check'' and the mother from ''That's My White Mama''.
* Rose, of ''[[Lost]]''.
* Two episodes of ''[[Frasier]]'' feature "Dr" Mary Thomas, initially hired as a part-time producer for Frasier's own show but whose witty interruptions, humorous asides and home-spun wisdom quickly come to dominate his show. Much mileage is wrought from Frasier's procrastination over putting a stop to this as he's terrified of being thought of as racist.
* Arguably, Clarice from ''[[Boston Legal]]'' - even though Clarice was just a persona (and costume) adopted by super-shy ''man'' [[Wholesome Crossdresser|Clarence]], Clarice was pretty much a stereotype of a sassy black woman.
* Shirley in ''[[Community]]'' (when she's not [[Glurge Addict|overdosing on cute]]). Unlike most Sassy Black Women, she's quite well-rounded (especially for a half-hour [[Sitcom]]). Referred to as such in S01 E22 . "Oh No! Sassy Black Schmitty is out of the group"
* Angie, Tracy Jordan's wife on ''[[30 Rock|Thirty Rock]]'', is one in spades.
* Marion Moseby's niece Nia in ''[[The Suite Life of Zack and Cody]]''.
* Roxy from ''[[Hannah Montana]]''.
* Judy, Robert's partner on the police force in ''[[Everybody Loves Raymond]]'', is an example of this trope.
* ''[[Monk]]'' had Sharona get a friend from her creative writing class to replace her temporairly while she [[It Makes Sense in Context|was suffering from a murderer's plot to make her think she was crazy]]. This woman was a bitchy sassy black woman who came almost close to be on the level of [[The Scrappy]] for being so damn annoying and unaccommodating to Monk and the rest of the cast.
* Basically everyone on ''Girlfriends'' at one time or another, but mostly Toni.
* Mrs. Freeman, Will's boss' [[Sassy Secretary|secretary]] on ''[[Will and Grace]]''
* Aunt Viv on ''[[The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air]]'', although more [[The Other Darrin|when she was played by]] Janet Hubert-Whitten than when she was played by Daphne Maxwell Reid. Never as much as her sister Helen:
{{quote|'''Aunt Janice:''' ''(about her white fiance)'' I guess I was hoping...no one would notice?
'''Aunt Helen:''' Honey, who'd you think you was bringin' him home to, Stevie Wonder? }}
* Roz of [[Night Court]] partially subverted this, being, basically the [[Scary Black Man|Scary Black Woman]]. She was more of a [[Deadpan Snarker]], but could be quite sensitive and shy compared to Cloudcuckoolander Bull.
* ''[[The Parkers]]'' are made of Sassy Black Women.
* From what little we see of Doakes' family (his mother and sisters) in the TV version of ''[[Dexter]]'', they're ''all'' sassy.
* One of the earliest examples on TV was Geraldine Jones, a recurring character played by Flip Wilson (in drag) on his [[The Seventies|1970s]] sketch comedy show. She originated the expression "What you see is what you get."
* Tasha Mack on ''The Game''. In a rare display on this trope, she's repeatedly called out and mocked for her behavior. Though everyone who does is only doing it in jest, there is at least one example of her sassyness causing her multi-episode relationship to fall out.
** Also to be noted is that Tasha Mack is easisly the most negative version of this trope there is. Not only is she loud, she's also negative, jeolous, profane, ignorant, racist, over bearing, and generally a Bitch, as stated above.
*** Pretty much any sitcom with a predominently African-American cast(I.E.-Moesha, All Of Us, Eve, My Wife And Kids, The Bernie Mac Show, The Hughleys, For Your Love, One On One, Half And Half, etc) has at least one example of this trope.
* Maxine, Khadijah, and Regine, from [[Living Single]]
* The black women on [[Reality Show]]s tend to be of this variety, ''especially'' those on [[MTV]] (Gladys from ''[[Road Rules]]: Latin America'' stands out in particular, as she was booted early in the show for fighting). It's harder to find black female roommates/contestants who ''don't'' fit this stereotype.
** Alicia Calaway from ''[[Survivor]]'' is another notable example. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xl94fj2nHZo This famous scene] pretty much exemplifies her sassiness.
*** Other ''[[Survivor]]'' alums of note include Sherea of ''China'', Ghandia of ''Thailand'', Candace of ''Tocantins'', Yasmin of ''Samoa'', and three-time competitor Cirie, though Cirie tends to be portrayed more often as friendly and sweet but quippy than outright sassy, and is also given considerable character depth.
*** Naonka of ''Nicaragua'' is one of the extreme negative versions, having taken an instant and vocal (to the [[Confession Cam]]) dislike to Jud (dubbed "Fabio" by his tribe, a male [[Dumb Blonde]] but a nice guy) and Kelly (who had her leg amputated at birth).
* Mother and daughter Mary Lou and Ivy are both Sassy Black Women on ''[[Good Luck Charlie]]'' though Ivy has a bit of an edge on her mother since Mary Lou likes jigsaw puzzles and likes to sing "Row Row Row Your Boat" in German.
* Cheryl, Kenan's mother on ''[[Kenan and Kel]]'' is fairly mellow but she shows signs of this in the episode where Chris moves into the house.
* Raven from ''[[That's So Raven]]'' though it got cranked [[Up to Eleven]] when she guest starred on ''[[The Suite Life]]'' as the same character. Loca from Alana's [[Girl Posse]] manages to be both this and a [[Brawn Hilda]] as well.
* Dr. Curtis Brumfield from ''[[Body of Proof]]'' is a Sassy Black ''Man''.
* A sketch on ''[[Mad TV]]'' titled "[http://www.planetmadtv.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5770 Be-bitched]", parodying the TV series ''[[Bewitched]]'', has Samantha (Nicole Sullivan) morph into a "bitchy" Debra Wilson whenever she performs magic.
* ''[[Star Trek: The Original Series]]'': Lt. Uhura [https://www.youtube.com/shorts/jvAbkawUEtk had her moments.]

== Music ==
* The band role of Scary Spice aka. Mel B of the [[Spice Girls]].


== Musical ==
* Bloody Mary from ''[[South Pacific]]'' is an example of this trope before it became popular. She speaks in [[You No Take Candle]], but she's very ''spunky''!
* Queenie from ''[[Show Boat]]'', originally portrayed in blackface.
* Maria from ''[[Porgy and Bess]]''.
* ''[[Little Shop of Horrors]]'' has three of them, Crystal, Ronnette, and Chiffon, who serve as the show's [[Greek Chorus]].
* Sophia from ''[[The Color Purple]]''. She even has a song titled "Hell No!"
* Sister Chantelle from ''[[Bare: A Pop Opera]]'' The Virgin Mary who is also portrayed by her is played as this as well.


== Professional Wrestling ==
* Sharmell Huffman, Booker T's wife, was this in her initial face persona. "Can you dig it, sucka" sounded so much better when coming out of her mouth.
** This made it all the funnier when, after Booker became King of the Ring, the two of them tried to pass themselves as [[Upper Class Twit]]s.
* Naomi Night on NXT season 3 who went so far as to [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|call out Michael Cole]].
* Jacqueline Moore, when she actually spoke, managed the cigar smoking, beer chugging, poker playing APA and joined in just as well. In TNA she was also with their carbon copies Beer Money Inc.


== Video Games ==
* ''[[Toejam and Earl]] III'' features Latisha, who's a Sassy... Blue Alien, which is close enough, since she's from a planet whose [[Planet of Hats|hat]] is Funk/Hip-Hop culture.
* Rochelle of ''[[Left 4 Dead]] 2''.
* Sagitta Weinberg/Cheiron Archer from ''[[Sakura Wars]]'' can be this at times.
* ''[[I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream]]'' has Ellen, whose [[Totally Radical|sassy vernacular]] creates considerable cognitive dissonance in an incredibly bleak game about the end of the world. When confronted with a disembodied jumpsuit taking on the identity of her former rapist, Ellen calls him a "muthuh" and punches him out, to considerable [[Narm]] effect.
* In ''[[Baten Kaitos]] Orgins'' [[Voice of the Legion|Half]] of Guillo's voice is composed of one, the other half being a [[Samuel L. Jackson]] sound-alike. This works rather well for Guillo's near constant snark.
* Jade from ''[[Mortal Kombat]]'' can be a variation of this, especially in the ninth installment.


== Webcomics ==
* Tigerlily Jones in ''[[Skin Horse]]''. "When she goes into the truck, she's in Institute Grey. We let her out, she's [[Foxy Brown]]. We have no idea how."
* [[Black Adventures|Lenora]] manaded to ''scold a [[Olympus Mons|legendary Pokémon]]'' into a [[Heel Face Turn]].


== Web Original ==
* ''Chaka'' of the [[Whateley Universe]], who fits the positive example described above to a "T". And her mother. And her grandmother.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxfUSJJiBZg&feature=related Keisha Fabo].
* The titular bear in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WB1G8YF-B4Y the second] of the two infamous Purity Bear videos.


== Western Animation ==
* Susie Carmichael from ''[[Rugrats]]'' and ''[[All Grown Up!]]'', especially in the latter.
* Libby from ''[[The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron]]'', who's actually the [[Black Best Friend]] of the [[Alpha Bitch]], Cindy Vortex.
* Leshawna on ''[[Total Drama Island]]''.
* Foxxy Love on ''[[Drawn Together]]'' is all sass—and yet another [[Cree Summer]] voice role.
* Loretta Brown, Cleveland's deceased ex-wife on ''[[Family Guy]]''. Also used for comedic effect in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&feature=endscreen&v=PmEvxswn4IY some] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9AajslFuPro of their] [[Cutaway Gag|one-shot bits]].
* Trixie in ''[[American Dragon: Jake Long]]''.<ref>Odd bit of background on this one: the executives tried to [[Executive Meddling|tone her down]], but most of her characterization came from her voice actress, Miss Kittie. The execs didn't have the sheer Balzac it took to ask a black woman to act less like ''herself'' to her face, and dropped the issue.</ref>
* Aka Pella from ''[[Histeria!]]!''
* Valerie Gray from ''[[Danny Phantom]]''.
* Principal Sue Sezno in ''[[Sit Down, Shut Up]]''. Arguably justified in that [[Surrounded by Idiots|her new teaching staff is a bunch of bumbling incompetents]].
* Diana the Acrobat from ''[[Dungeons and Dragons (animation)|Dungeons and Dragons]]''.
* Most of the female characters in ''[[The PJs]]'' embody this trope, Bebe in particular.
* Numbuh 5 of ''[[Codename: Kids Next Door]]''.
** And her sister, [[The Danza|Cree]]. [[Talking to Himself|Both are voiced by]] [[Cree Summer]].
* The Muses in ''[[Hercules (1997 film)||Hercules]]'' fit this trope: especially Thalia, the short comic relief.
* Lana Kane of ''[[Archer]]'' Sassy? Yup. Black-ish? Yuup. Can snap your neck with her man hands? Yuuuuuup!
* Lance gets one of these as a driving instructor in ''[[Sym-Bionic Titan]]'' when he is trying to get his license. [[Hilarity Ensues]] as he has to not only keep her happy, but deal with the gang leader harassing him in the middle of the test, then the [[Monster of the Week]] trying to kill them. However, she has nothing but praise when Lance manages to survive all this and keep her alive in doing so, and passes him.
* Mammy Two-Shoes of ''[[Tom and Jerry]]'' illustrates what this trope was like in the 1940's. [[Values Dissonance]] abound.
** In the shorts show on T.V. now, they at least dub over her voice, making it more of a current example, just barely.
* Even though Witch Lezah on ''[[The Looney Tunes Show]]'' has green skin, she still has the mannerisms and personality of a sassy black woman, right down to a Mammy Two-Shoes -esque voice.
* Tamika from ''[[Class of 3000]]''.
* Eema the Styracosaurus from ''[[Dinosaur]]'', right down to her accent (compare hers to that of [[Last of Her Kind|Baylene]]'s, who is supposed to be British).
* Sapphire Shores in ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' is a cream-colored pony, but has the attitude and voice for this trope. And then there's her name, which... well, you'd ''hope'' is [https://web.archive.org/web/20131029050934/http://www.ferris.edu/htmls/news/jimcrow/sapphire/ just a coincidence]. [[Unfortunate Implications|Eep.]]
* In an episode of ''[[American Dad]]'', Roger pretends to be one.
{{quote|'''Roger:''' What's goin' on? I can't hardly see! Hey Easter Island, move your fat head!}}
** Also in an episode, they made fun of the sassy black woman in the workplace stereotype. {{spoiler|An overweight black woman named Lorraine, displays all the negative stereotypes in an extreme sense, resulting her throwing acid in Francine's face.}}
* Cassidy Williams uses this as her act as Angel Dynamite in "[[Scooby Doo Mystery Inc]]".
* Rita the Afghan hound from ''[[Oliver and Company]]''.
* Donna and Roberta of ''[[The Cleveland Show]]''. While Donna is a more straight example, Roberta is more of a variation.
* [[Lampshaded]] in one episode of ''[[Batman Beyond]]'', Terry's best friend Max gets kidnapped by Kobra (No not that [[G.I. Joe|Cobra]]). And Terry, in camouflage, overhears Max's kidnappers:
{{quote|'''Kobra Advisor:''' She's rude, she's sarcastic, and she has absolutely no respect.
'''Terry:''' [[Crowning Moment of Funny|Gotta be Max]]. }}
* Cake the cat in the gender-swapped episode of ''[[Adventure Time]]''.
* Bumblebee on ''[[Teen Titans (animation)|Teen Titans]]''; that's why she was such a [[Breakout Character]] and the reason she is the leader of Titan East.
