"Sasha" is interesting. Character from other poems?

Sasha is a felinoid alien critter, actually introduced by DW user Chrodatesrock in the fanfic "Alone." Then I provided an origin in " A Leaf Falls," making the character canon. This series runs to comparisons of what is now and what was before: there are many things that serve the same purpose, but are different from what the protagonist grew up with, and that shear causes a lot of distress.
