#like sometimes she looks at photos of herself from Before and she'd be astounded by how little *like her* she looked

Silly little headcanon that Sasha's mother hates hates HATES her daughter's scars, like to the point of forbidding her to go to the beach or the public pool so people won't see her back. She can swim alone in their private pool. No need to show everyone how ruined her perfect skin has become. Not that Sasha listens - she'll just go with her friends or her dad, who kinda gave up on ordering her around years ago. He doesn't care if Sasha gets stares or invasive questions, like, that's her problem not his lol. If she makes a scene he doesn't know her.

Maybe at one point it wasn't so bad because her long hair covered the scar a bit, so she could wear tank tops and swimsuits fine without it being too obvious. So she cut her hair short to spite her mom. Try to hide it now old woman!

As for her face scar, I just know her mom would have worked so hard to cover it with makeup. She can't make it disappear but she can make it a lot less visible, and she'd force Sasha to sit for half an hour every morning so she could work on it before school. The only reason Sasha put up with it was so that she'd keep getting her allowance. First time she showed up to school like that, Anne kept staring at her trying to figure out what has changed. It took her a hot second.

She finds it pretty insulting. Her scars are important to her. They were given to her by the two people she loves the most. They represent her growth and her hard work and the person she's become. Plus, she likes it when her girls kiss them. She makes a point to remove her makeup whenever she's at Anne's house.

She honestly likes her appearance more like this. The person she sees in the mirror is someone she's proud of. Someone she can love.
