Personality[]
Sashi is tough, levelheaded, and quick-witted. She is very serious and a no-nonsense kind of person, like with succeeding at the mission and defeating Rippen and Larry. She hates being made fun of or tricked. During missions, she's more than willing to threaten others and less likely to be caring for others' situations, especially the villains'. She's very aggressive, being very talented at hand-to-hand combat and many physical feats. Unlike her part-time partners, Sashi stays extremely focused, helping them to stay on track, and is not a fan of sillier things. At the same time, Sashi is understanding and compassionate, giving Penn considerate advice and sometimes warming up to others whom she isn't originally mindful of.
Relationships[]
Penn Zero[]
Sashi and Penn's kiss
Penn and Sashi hugging in "The Last Mountain Beast".
Sashi is close friends with Penn. She isn't always happy with Penn's fun-loving and teasing behavior, and in "The Princess Most Fair", she complains that he talks instead of leaping into action. But they often are on the same page when it comes to defeating bad guys, both usually the ones to make plans and take the mission a bit more seriously. Not one for kinder tactics, Sashi doesn't always agree with Penn's kindness towards others, rather intent on the mission instead of the people involved in the dimension of the mission. She gives him advice if he needs it, is willing to trust his more sympathetic thoughts, and if he is in danger or needs assistance, she immediately tries to rescue him. She is shown to have a small crush on him, she usually punches him to avoid showing her affection. Whenever Penn is in deep trouble she's the one who shows the most concern. She is also shown to be jealous whenever other girls hit on Penn. For example, Orchid in the episode "Rootilda" and Pirate Maria in the episode " Mr. Rippen". In the episode, Save The Worlds, she yells out his name when she thought he sacrificed himself. In the episode, At the End of the Worlds, she becomes Penn's girlfriend after she kisses him at the ending of the episode.
Boone[]
Sashi is close friends with Boone. More often than with Penn, Sashi gets very irritated with Boone's goofiness, like when his ketchup painting ruins her specs before she can reveal the mission in "Brainzburgerz". In "The Princess Most Fair", she admits he and Penn annoy her and she says he is irresponsible. Shortly afterwards, she regrets it and apologizes, explaining that she meant it but she didn't intend to hurt him. However, she appreciates who he is, the ways he helps the team, and his friendship.
Sashi admits that she sometimes feels left out of Penn and Boone's close friendship, as she confesses in "The Princess Most Fair", but the two reassure her that she's very essential to the team, much to her happiness.
Rippen[]
Sashi is not fond of Rippen, making sure to defeat him in any way possible. At school, she doesn't like him as her art teacher either.
Larry[]
When dealing with Larry, Sashi is very impatient with his talkative, naive nature. When Larry is in danger of being attacked by the skeleton army in "Hail Larry", Sashi is alright with him getting hurt, and as they travel through the cave, she questions how Rippen puts up with him.In Sensitivity Training
Phyllis[]
When dealing with Phyllis, Sashi can be surprised with Phyllis's actions, but she seems to like her. In "Temple of the Porcelain God", she is grateful for the pure gold crown Phyllis gives her and the boys for their most successful mission yet, saving she'll think of her when she sells it for cash.
Mr. Kobayashi and Mrs. Kobayashi[]
Sashi loves her parents, but because Phyllis tells her not to tell them about her job as part-time sidekick, Sashi lies to them that she works at Fish Stick on a Stick, as revealed in "Flurgle Burgle". Being left to watch her brother get congratulatory cakes for his accomplishments and not be able to say anything about her own, Sashi finds her only reward is succeeding at missions and being proud of herself, which drives her to take them very seriously. In "The Kobayashis".
