Enchanter of the Free Council
Born: 1987
Age: 27
Sleeper Alias: Sonja Volkova
Rank: Apprentice of the Fourth Degree. However, her quick-talking and unwavering confidence often sees her taken for a Mage of far greater standing than she actually is.
Physical description: Like an off-duty model; tall, leggy, and dressed like a thrift store manniquin, Sash rocks poker-straight pale blonde hair, torn leggings, and usually a few scrapes and bruises. She's never seen without a black bowler or trilby hat, out of which she is seen to conjure all manner of tricks.
Nimbus: The hush of the crowd before the big act comes on stage. Electric anticipation, breathless silence. Goosebumps and the pulsing of blood in ears.
Defining quote: "Sure, anyone can pull a rabbit out of a tophat. Want to see me pull a whippet out of a trilby?"

October 2014: Chaired the Free Council meeting at the national gathering of all persons esoteric and arcane, and was a significant force in the initial uncovering of the timestream diversion that was effecting them all, and then in the discovery of the time-doors nearby, and their effects.

History

Fast-talking, indefatigably cheery and compellingly cocky, Sash is a charming rogue. As an enemy, she'll get you every red light when you're in a hurry, and sour your milk overnight; as a friend, she'll turn up at your house at 4am on a weeknight drunk and expecting to crash on your couch, but you can trust her never to swear in front of your boss or your mum, and to wingman for you like the Devil himself.
She's quick-witted, exciting and easily distracted. All her friends have bailed her out of lockup at least once, and she's forever getting worked over by the mob for running her game on the wrong corner, or fleecing the wrong guy.
She's a thrill and a worry, and one of these days, she's going to get in over her head...
If only you didn't like her so damned much.

Currently

Her long-running super-close friendship with Ricochet from Brisbane notwithstanding, Sash currently lives in Sydney, working as a surprisingly successful (Fame:1) street magician, conwoman and occasional pickpocket. She says she's just waiting for the right backer to catapult her to superstardom. She says she's going to be the next Criss Angel.
She says a lot of things.

Quotes by

"So, uh, I feel like at this juncture, that it might be pertinent, to, uh, let you know that I kind of am an expert in running away. Not that we need to run away, just right this second, per se! Just that it might become relevant - like really, really soon."

- to Zero of the Guardians, upon the discovery of the second timedoor, and what was occurring therein, October 2014.

"Yeah, I can see how the hat might have you confused, and all, but phenomenal cosmic power automatically precludes me from being a hipster, broseph. Besides, I'm too hip to be a hipster. I was hip before it was cool."

- losing an argument with Ricochet.

Quotes about

"I've seen her 'round Sydney a few times, busking with her little 'magic' show. I let her go cause it's more guile and fast fingers than supernal. She's sensible enough to know where to draw the line. If you catch her on your streets just pick her up, let her know you'll be watching, gently, and maybe buy her a meal. Better to play nice than have whole Consilium up in arms about persecuting a sweet young innocent. Plus she's proven useful in the past."

- I. P. Smith

Conversations

"Oh, hey, Mr. Smith! I hadn't seen you for a while - which is to say, you haven't arrested me for a while - and I was starting to get a bit worried! I'm glad to see you're okay."

"Hello, Sash. I have something to deal with here, but I'll get to you. Don't wander off on me, or this time, I'll think it's something serious."

"Yessir!"

He leaves.

*to others* "...he loves me."

- Sash with I. P. Smith

Rumors

Has no real magic, only tricks.
- Has no tricks, only real magic.
  - Even the Guardians aren't sure, which is why she's such a source of vexation to them.
Attended a Free Council meeting while deathly hungover, during which she pulled a rabbit out of her hat. Then turned it into a sandwich. Then ate it. To say nothing of the detox smoothie she conjured from thin air...
- And still managed to have Dresden asking her counsel. Now that's magic.
It's all an act. She's a plant for the Guardians.
