Personality: Sawa is a withdrawn and quite mysterious person. She mostly keeps to herself, and doesn’t jump at the first opportunity to socialize. She’s quite protective of her boundaries. However, that doesn’t mean, she’s unapproachable. She’s a great source of information and support for Amelia, who has no idea, how to tackle her mission. It is also thanks to Sawa’s book collection that Amelia learns more about her real ancestry. Interestingly, Sawa is also a good liar, and she doesn’t have trouble keeping multiple secrets. She seems calm and composed even when she’s about to be unmasked, which points to the fact that she has nerves of steel.

Best friends: Sawa doesn’t seem to be best friends with anybody, but she has positive relationship with most mermaids from Santa Ana, her younger sister Mewa, and Jet Mir.

Trivia:

• Sawa got the name after a Polish legend. The legend told the story of a man named Wars and his lover, a courageous mermaid named Sawa. Together, their names created the word  Wars-sawa, which was later changed to Warszawa, and is the local name of Poland’s capital, Warsaw.
• Interestingly, in Polish, “W” is read as “v” so Sawa and Mewa’s names should be read as “Sava” and “Meva.”
• Sawa doesn’t seem too protective of her younger sister, Mewa. On the contrary, she trusts that the girl can make her own decisions.
• Sawa seems to be great friends with Jet Mir. Perhaps because they are both hermits who prefer being alone in closed spaces.
• Sawa is the only character in the novel who smokes. She prefers thin cigarettes and is often seen with one.
