Let’s talk about Sasha.
Fierce. Loyal. The type to knock out your front teeth if you so much as look at her troop the wrong way. But her Tokoloshe? That inner wild thing? Sis is forever acting up.
Scratching under the skin. Growling in the middle of sacred ceremonies. Rubbing against Dej like she’s forgotten decorum exists.
And let’s be real: we love her for it.
The Tokoloshe Within
In the world I created, every Tokoloshe has an inner self—an instinctual, primal version of them that isn’t bound by human logic, only feeling and energy. It’s the spirit within. The truth that cannot be contained.
For Sasha, her Tokoloshe is brave. Bold. Impatient. She doesn’t wait for permission, she doesn't care about politics, and she will absolutely break protocol to sniff her fated mate on a random Tuesday.
Her Tokoloshe knows.
Before Sasha’s mind catches up.
Before she can rationalise or run.
That’s what makes her misbehave.
It’s not rebellion for the sake of chaos.
It’s the rebellion of truth trying to survive in a world of strategy, shame, and survival masks.
Why We Relate
We all have a little Tokoloshe inside us, don’t we?
That part of us that wants to scream in boardrooms.
That whispers, “This isn’t love,” even while we stay.
That urges us to create, to leap, to walk away, to come home.
But like Sasha, we bury her. We silence her for the sake of peace. We call her crazy when she wants to howl at the moon and tear down cycles we were told to endure.
And then, one day… she snaps.
She breaks through.
She runs wild—and we either chase her or try to kill her off.
Sasha’s Tokoloshe is what happens when you listen. When you let the truth move through you, even when it scares you. Even when it challenges everything you thought was safe.
What Makes Sasha Special
What I love about Sasha isn’t just her strength. It’s that she feels deeply, even when she doesn’t want to.
She doesn’t trust easily.
She doesn’t surrender easily.
But she loves with everything.
And the moment her Tokoloshe recognises Dej as hers? She’s forced into a journey that isn’t about domination, but vulnerability. Not about the battle outside, but the one within.
It’s messy. Sexy. Painful. Human.
And yes—her Tokoloshe is still side-eying Dej’s shorts to this day.
The end for now...
If your Tokoloshe (a.k.a. your intuition, wild self, messy truth-teller) has been misbehaving lately… maybe stop silencing her.
Maybe listen. Maybe let her lead. Maybe give her space to rage and weep and want.
Because she might just be guiding you toward your own fated path.
And if you smell oud, spice, and trouble on the way?
Buckle up. It’s getting good.
