What is Sasha's Gender?

[Magus]

I'm convinced that Sasha is a boy, but I like the ambiguity of his design, it gives us variety and kind of a non-binary villager which is great.
He's uber cute either way.

I hope he's a Jock since there aren't many great ones imo.

I'm honestly not sure. I wouldn't say I don't care, though. I just think it's pretty much 50/50. The colors are rather feminine, but the shirt is more masculine. And the eyes could really go either way. Even the pose is pretty gender neutral. I think someone posted a description of them, though, that mentioned wanting a stage built or something? Dunno where they got it, but if that's accurate, I'd say they're probably a peppy girl.

I think it's safe to say they're one or the other, though. It'd be cool to get some gender non-conforming villagers/characters, but if Nintendo were going to do that, why would they give us so few? I'm guessing each new (and returning) villager will be a boy or girl with existing personalities that are locked for their genders.

she definatly looks female to me :3 i mean, ''sasha'' has female-like eyelashes...

 

[Fruitcup]

I just assumed sasha was a girl because i always think of it as a girl name first and also because whenever they add eyelashes it tends to mean a girl. But if sasha is a boy thatd be pretty cool

This was mentioned earlier and makes sense to me - the older/returning villagers in this image alternate male/female. So if the new villagers were alternating also, it would be:

Sasha - male
Ione - female
Tiansheng - male
Shino - female
Marlo - male
Petri - female
Cephalobot - male
Quinn - female

The other image also follows a male/female alternating pattern on villagers:

Does that means Orville and c j are females!? Lol (I know there not)

 

[Ace Marvel]

This only applies to villagers, NPC don't follow that order. If you look at previous series, they go male female, except for a few.

I know, it was a joke

I am thinking it could be a tom-boy female character. I was really hoping Sasha is a girl for similar reasons to others. But tbh, I just REALLY want Roswell

they may have been talking about shino, they didn’t show sasha’s vacation home request yet

shino would be our first peppy deer, i think? that would be cool

Oh, my bad! I thought someone said that about Sasha.
(I'm still holding out hope Shino is sisterly, though- I think there's still a good chance because "jam" sounds like a word a sisterly would use, and they can have rockstar vibes)

The theory that I personally believe, that says sasha is a lazy villager, also has shino down as a peppy villager.
So to me its further evidence of the theory being correct

I believe the sisterly villager will be quinn

me too! hoping shino, ione, or sasha is sisterly even if the current theory pegs them as something different lol

NGL, I'll be SUPER disappointed if she's peppy. It just seems like a waste of a super cool design... she doesn't look peppy at all IMO and we really need more nice sisterlies!

I do agree that it would be nice to have some sisterly designs that are actually appealing for a change. I think there are like 2 I don't hate

 

[Crowsie]

I thought I'd get some answers out of the Japanese name, but it can be read as Mitchell or Michelle. So, uh. Yeah. Guess we'll never know. I guess Sasha's gender is bunny.

 

[Seelie]

Crossing my fingers that Sasha's a jock, which I guess would make him male-identifying? Tbh I just think we need some more cute / pretty jocks, and there are already quite a few peppy rabbits.

 

[Luca]

Sasha is definitely male. It baffles me that people can look at the evidence:

- other language names for him being unisex or masculine
- the other new villagers that could be male instead having feminine names in other languages
- the 100% consistent pattern of alternating genders in the new card set
- the fact that both Sherb-Reneigh and Chabwick-Faith have the exact same order of personalities if you account for the sisterly & smug conversion, thus implying that the new villagers also follow that order

...and still stubbornly believe he’s female just because his eyelashes make him “look” like a girl. It’s so reductive.

 

[Elov]

I really hope Sasha is a boy. That would just up the cuteness and unique factor for me. If they end up being a girl I'll be kinda sad, since there's a lot of generic "cute" girl bunny villagers.

Which is, sadly, a common thing it seems... personally, I love a lot of sisterlies (Ursala is my top favorite villager and Deirdre/Hazel/Paula/Katt are all great, just off the top of my head), but I seem to be in the minority

Oh, good catch! Now that I have a better look, I think Sasha may be male! I automatically had assumed Sasha was a "she" because of the eyelash and the name, but what threw me off was the jock like jacket. I thought "Oh cool, a female jock" but now that I think about, Sasha is probably a male due to the above foremetioned. Whatever Sasha is, Sasha's still adorable!
