Sasha Loggins
Sasha Loggins (サーシャ・ロギンズ, Sāsha Roginzu) is a primary ally featured in the light novel rey infinito.
She is the granddaughter of Loggins who becomes a skilled Ripple user. She joins the Speedwagon Foundation as a special investigator along with Gustave Shaulo Messina, working under Lisa Lisa. Sasha also becomes a Stand User, with a currently unnamed Stand that hatches birds and allows her to manipulate them.
Appearance
Sasha Loggins is a young Hispanic Jewish woman with a slim build. She has delicate features including thin eyes with dark irises, a thin nose, and a slender neck. Joaquín Ruiz-Jorruda thinks that her features set her apart from the average woman. Her bangs are strangely uneven and the right side of her hair is cropped.[1]
Sasha wears a baseball cap and an arm warmer on her right arm that goes up to her elbow.[1] A wide Ripple-conducting friendship bracelet with a total length of around 10 to 20 meters is wrapped around her glove.[3]

Abilities
Ripple
Sasha Loggins is a skilled Ripple warrior, inheriting the ability from her grandfather and trained in mastering it by Lisa Lisa. She is agile with a polished and controlled breathing technique. Her joints are flexible and she can easily repel counterattacks. After seeing her acrobatic techniques, Joaquín imagines that her movements are similar to how Lisa Lisa must have been like when she was younger.[3]
Techniques
Sasha imbues her fists and feet with the Ripple, attacking with punches and kicks. One touch causes her opponent's blood to vibrate from the Ripple's energy, making them unconscious. She also imbues her whip to use Overdrive.
Like Lisa Lisa and Straizo, Sasha utilizes a weapon woven from the dried intestinal fibers of Satiporoja beetles, an insect native to Southeast Asia. Instead of a scarf like her master, Sasha has a wide braided cord that is around 10 to 20 meters long and capable of conducting the Ripple at 100%. As it conducts and disperses the Ripple far better than the human body, it acts similarly to a lightning rod. Sasha uses it as a whip to attack her opponents.
Sasha is capable of erasing her presence by suppressing her breathing, moving as silently as a snow leopard.
Lisa Lisa and Sasha both send positive and negative Ripple energy into Sasha's braided cord while holding onto both ends. By doing so, they avoid damaging Octavio and only incapacitate Dos Santos instead, who Octavio was holding onto.
Stand
During her rematch against Dos Santos, Sasha awakens to her new ability. Her power hatches any breed of bird from her baseball cap. They initially start as chicks, but rapidly grow. She can then manipulate the birds to fly.
History
Background
Sasha Loggins was trained by Lisa Lisa to become a successor of the Ripple. The two have a very close relationship and she is the most trusted guard in the Speedwagon Foundation.[1] She did not know her grandfather aside from seeing him in a photo.[3] Along with her partner, Gustave Shaulo Messina, Lisa Lisa assigns them a mission to find Fernando Alhorn.[2] After infiltrating Alhorn's fortress, she and Messina are caught by Dos Santos and fail to defeat his Stand. They are then imprisoned and shot with the Bow and Arrow. The Arrow pierces through Sasha's chest, but she manages to survive and gains the ability to see Stands, whereas Gustave passes away.[1]
