OCC: Ignore, this is for Sasha's biography/background information
Sasha Elena Anastasiya Capper was born to Apollinariya Capper neé Krum (yes, those Krums) and Alec Capper on February 14th, 1981. Her younger sister, Sabina, was born the following year in June. Apollinariya-- a pureblood of the snobbiest kind-- is Russian by birth and moved to England in her early 20s. She met Alec Capper in a Quill shop in Diagon Alley and married him 7 months later. 10 months after that Sasha was born.
The Cappers, an old pureblood family, have traditionally sorted into Gryffindor like Sabina. Sasha, however, sorted into Slytherin. She credits this to her mother's blood. She loves being in Slytherin and it's one of the two things about her mother she likes or is thankful for. The only other thing being her ability to converse in Russian.
Apollinariya Capper is at best a blood supremacist and at worst a closet Death Eater. She despises her husband's lax views on the subject and would be disgusted if she knew her daughters associated with half-bloods or Muggleborns beyond the rudimentary necessities. It's incredibly important to her that Sasha and Sabina marry into Pureblood families. Because of this she spends a great deal of her time coming up with potential matches for her eldest daughter. She doesn't care if these gentlemen are young, interesting or even kind just so long as their blood is pure. Alec learned long ago that arguing with his wife was not an option. He stays silent on the matter of his daughter's suitors though he'd secretly like to chase them all away with a broomstick.
Sasha, for her part, has avoiding her mother's schemes down to an art. If sneaking away is not possible then she simply slips a bit of sleeping draught into the gentleman's glass when no one is looking. Sure, it's not strictly on the up and up, but Sasha finds in preferable to being groped by men old enough to be her father after dinner. On the occasions that the gentleman is actually someone around Sasha's age she just chats amiably with them, since, for the most part, they're about has happy to be there as she is.
Sasha's first kiss was Quintus Harper who she has known her entire life. He's her best friend, partner-in-crime and occasional kissing partner. He is a useful tool to get rid of unwanted attention from other boys and she loves making girls who like him jealous. But mainly he is just her favourite person in the world. There is no question that the two love each other, but it has always been strictly platonic... with snogging. He is the only person on the planet who can get away with calling her 'Sassy'. Everyone else who has ever tried met with unfortunate accidents.
Sasha is highly intelligent, though an under-achiever. Given the proper motivation she could probably be a student of Granger-esque proportions but she can't be bothered. She took 6 OWLs and received 5 'E's and an 'O'. Had she exerted more than the most minuscule amount of effort she could easily have achieved 6 'O's. She is witty and sarcastic, though usually not unkind. She likes most of the students in her own house though she cannot tolerate people who remind her of her mother. As for the other houses, she likes many Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs. Gryffindors can be tolerable though she enjoys baiting them, especially her fellow 6th years. She is not a fan of Ginny Weasley who she finds uppity, hot tempered and irritating. She's also mildly disdainful of Demelza Robbins and Devon Summerby though not to the same extent.
In general Sasha is a reasonably friendly girl but mocking the stupid is a favourite past time. She is very protective of both her younger sister and Quintus. She would not think twice about hexing anyone who hurt either of them in the slightest. While she is not a Prefect and she doesn't play Quidditch she is still a pretty recognizable member of Slytherin house for being Quint's friend if nothing else. She is not a supporter of Lord Voldemort and would fight against him if and when the time came. Even if it means putting up with Granger and those idiotic redheads.
