What is Sasha's Gender?

[Rosch]

First impression says peppy, but because of countless theories I've read, Sasha could be a lazy villager.

 

[Etown20]

I was thinking Sasha being male would make him more popular, particularly with the kpop association people have made.

 

[daringred_]

don’t be rude. i’m entitled to my opinion just like you are. where did i say that anybody else wasn’t? i agree, i wish we had female jocks and lazies. would be sick.

i'm not being rude lmao. i literally just said i don't find the design as appealing if they're a guy after you suggested people were making presumptions about a "feminine looking guy" that's a "digital rabbit for god's sake" when nobody was entirely sure of their gender upon initial release. again, really not that deep. please don't misconstrue my comments, thank you.

 

[Edge]

I just get major kpop vibes from Sasha.
Adorable design. I know it doesn’t quite fit the pattern but I kinda hope he’s a jock.

Just saw that Sasha is reading a fashion magazine in the trailer, while Nan is reading a nature book which is her hobby.

 

[Fey]

I wish there was a laugh reaction for this line, lol.
Everyone's free to do what they like, but it's a little sad to see people who have been saying it rudely. I saw someone say that it'd be a waste of island space if Sasha is a dude.

I didn’t see anybody using the phrase “waste of space” (unless you mean somewhere outside of this thread). One or two people here mentioned not having to free up a space for them now, which is not the same and also a valid choice. If they were planning on letting a Peppy go to replace with Sasha, it would make sense not to if Sasha is male, and therefore not peppy.

Not saying there hasn’t been any negative reactions, but everything considered I think they’ve been fairly rare and mild. Most responses here seem accepting or even welcoming of a male Sasha.

A REAL FEMBOY VILLAGER????

i have too much males on my island (lazy smug and crankies and the girls were normals and one peppy TvT) i do want them (sasha) to be a jock, AND IS FEMBOY VILLAGER SO CUTE THO???

now lets wait until the raymond and marshal maid dress propaganda repeated again lollll (also if she is a female, i want her to be a sisterly since i dont have the sisterly emotes yet and none of them i like (except muffy and i already have her on my old island)

this makes me want them A LOT! also i found their design is cute even if i have lots of males i dont care HAHHA

Nah, that'll be Shino. There was a poll on here and the only Villager that remotely competed with Shino for votes was Sasha, but as seen in this thread... there's plenty of people who will drop Sasha as their favorite when they learn there's a sausage. I still think Sasha will keep his footing as 2nd most popular unless Ione spikes up more in response.

HAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHA I DONT KNOW but i laughed so hard in the middle part. I even choke on my bubble tea and need to run for a water.

Oh snap, that's actually kind of HUGE.

Is Sasha actually a Female?!?! We have 0 males with the Fashion Hobby. Is Sasha breaking the mold?

Or maybe it's just part of the "Jobs/Positions" villagers get placed into the atmosphere that doesn't really account for their Hobbies when they get dumped into their positions to act their parts. Or even the developer tool used to create the scene for the Direct.

The plot thickens.

Interestingly, it seems like a lot of the conversation on Japanese gaming news sites and Twitter is similar to ours, especially since mitchell is not a very familiar name for Japanese speakers. Many of the opinions I saw also seem to be thinking lazy boy.

someone found an actor named Sasha Mitchell, which is pretty funny (though he is not exactly animal crossing inspiration material)

Just saw that Sasha is reading a fashion magazine in the trailer, while Nan is reading a nature book which is her hobby.

that is an interesting image, since Sasha is shown with only other female villagers.

i can’t recognize the catalogue, but taking your word for it, that would be really crazy, since there are currently no male characters with the fashion hobby.

I still find the evidence of Sasha being a boy very convincing, but this seems like a big anomaly to me.

good find!

Fashion College? tee hee I really hope Sasha is sisterly. But having a male villager interested in fashion is cool too if they are jock. I mean, some jocky people are really into their looks and hair and letter jackets and all that lol.

 

[VexTheHex]

Sasha's wave does eliminate Jock and Peppy though. They do the double handed chaotic wave, but Sasha does the regular one.

Rex is in that shot.

oh, well then that is good to know! I didn’t see the whole scene, only the partial clip in the thumbnail.

that makes me less surprised, though the fashion thing would still be surprising.

haha, thank you for letting me know! I clearly have not reviewed the direct footage enough.

 

[moon_child]

I initially thought Sasha was a girl because I thought she looked like a peppy villager but atp I really don’t care much I want him / her regardless of gender or personality lolll I’m hopelessly in love And to add, as a Kpop fan, if the theories above are true then I’d be even more delighted to have Sasha on my island.

Watch Sasha be male and jock because of the letterman jacket.
———
Also, I think Sasha’s a male mainly because of the letterman jacket, which @DJStarstryker pointed out earlier. I actually thought Ione was male and Sasha was female, but now I see Ione is female and Sasha could very well be male.

I think you both may be onto something since looking at the pictures, I do not recall any of the female villagers wearing anything that looks like something a guy would wear. I could be wrong (may look at the past amiibo cards later and see),

This whole time, I was thinking Sasha was a girl, but reading Kilza’s post, I thought male made sense.

 

[Croconaw]

Sasha is giving me major male vibes. I’m hoping they are male, but it really doesn’t matter to be honest. Sasha looks to be either smug or lazy. I’d say jock because of the jacket, but they don’t give off jock vibes, y’know?

This dang magazine is the only thing to poke a whole in Sasha being a male side of the debate, and this has shook my whole view.

But I still think the male side has a stronger case. Simply cause Fashion is the only gender exclusive hobby, so they may of decided to drop the barrier. Or the facility just plants scenes and doesn't really pay attention to who the villager is. Or simply the person who threw the trailer together (since they often aren't actually playing the game but staging things) didn't know the info. Though I guess that could also invalidate the regular wave ruling out Peppy and Jock.

Though if he is our first fashion male, I can see this song being in his home to.

 

[Sansy]

Sasha is extremely cute, boy or girl, and I'd be happy to have them on my island! The one thing that might hold me back is whatever personality type they have. I try not to have too many duplicate personalities on my island, mostly because the characters with the same personality type have a little too much overlap in their daily dialogue.

I guess I'm surprised that people won't like Sasha anymore based on whatever gender they are? I get it if they're talking about the personality type but the gender specifically strikes me as kind of odd.

Actually, maybe all the new guys have the Fashion hobby? Marlo and Tiansheng clearly look like they take care of themselves. Marlo sporting a suit, sunglasses, and styled mustache while Tiansheng wears a crown, pants, and shoes which separates him from most of the roster. Cephalobot is a pretty blank slate, so he could have the Fashion hobby to.

So I'm now sticking to the outlook of Sasha is a Male villager as ALL evidence and theories indicated. However, I am now taking the outlook that him reading the magazine was a hint that we are getting fashion hobby male villagers and was actually intentionally shown!

Marlo's dream home on the Japanese site does have a lot of outfits in it... like someone into fashion.

I don't mean to go off-topic but what a big difference all the new furniture makes... that interior looks fantastic

It was on Reddit, yeah.
Don't wanna vague anyone here, lol.
