Sashanne

Sashanne is the femslash ship between Sasha Waybright and Anne Boonchuy from the Amphibia fandom.

Canon
Sasha and Anne have been friends since kindergarten. Anne saw Sasha as one of her best friends and did anything to earn that friendship, even things she didn't want to do.

While their relationship is unbalanced and favours Sasha's opinion over Annes, Sasha still looks out for Anne in her own way. This is first seen when a fellow student in their class is ridiculing Anne's Thai food, calling it a "puke bun". Sasha catches this and is able to talk Anne's bully down. Sasha goes on to cheer up Anne on her birthday by hanging out with her. However, Sasha forced Anne to steal from a thrift store, which made Anne uncomfortable. Anne steals a magic box, which causes her, Sasha, and Marcy to be transported to Amphibia, but in separate places.

Anne tries to search for Sasha, and when she does find her, she realizes that Sasha had been controlling of her. Sasha insists that her new friends, the Plantars, don't matter because they're just frogs, though Anne disagrees, and they fight. Just as Anne wins the duel against Sasha at Toad Tower, the tower itself is destroyed. In the ensuing chaos of everyone attempting to escape from the tower collapsing Sasha falls but is caught by Anne. As Anne struggles pull Sasha back up she panics and tries to reassure her that she will be okay. Seeing that the tower will collapse if Anne stays with her Sasha tells Anne "maybe you're better off without me" and lets go of her hand. Captain Grime carries an injured Sasha away as Anne watches and begins to cry.

Despite their falling out, Anne is still determined to find Sasha once more and bring them both back home.

Fanon
Sashanne is one of the most popular ships within the Amphibia fandom, and is pretty well received. However, the fandoms preference has shifted towards Marcanne following Marcy's formal introduction in season 2, although, some include Sasha in the Marcanne pairing, creating Sashannarcy. Fans of Sashanne are often drawn to the potential for angst which was highlighted in their messy reunion in the season 1 finale.

It has been compared to Catradora thanks to the similar step-up of two best friends, with one being toxic, who later become rivals and fight for opposite sides of an impending conflict. Interestingly, the Season 2 opening adds a fight sequence between Anne and Sasha towards the end which parallels the fight sequence between Adora and Catra in She-Ra and The Princesses of Power's opening sequence.
