Sasha

Sasha was a female vampire and founder of the Denali Coven, though they were living in Slovakia (then called the Kingdom of Hungary) at the time. She was only mentioned in Breaking Dawn. She was killed sometime before Carlisle met the Denali Coven after the Volturi discovered her creation of Vasilii, an immortal child.

History
Sasha was the creator of Tanya, Kate, and Irina. Tanya was initially a distant relative of Sasha. She was so intrigued by the idea of having another female vampire by her side that she turned Tanya. Sometime after this, they met Kate and Sasha decided to add a sister to Tanya, and later Irina joined them as well.

The three sisters thought of her as a mother and are still upset about her execution, though they never truly forgave her for committing the crime of creating an immortal child; Vasilii. She kept his existence from Tanya and her sisters, to save them from the fate of being executed by the Volturi, which indicates that she expected it to happen.

Death
Due to the danger of the immortal children revealing the existence of vampires, the Volturi got involved and executed Sasha by means of burning, with Vasilii in her arms. Tanya and her sisters witnessed their mother's death but were not destroyed afterwards. Their mother's death instilled a healthy respect for the laws of the vampire world in the sisters.

Film portrayal
Sasha will be portrayed by Andrea Powell in the second Breaking Dawn film.
