Sasha Yakovleva is a netrunner and a part of Maine's crew of edgerunners, operating in Night City. Sasha's mother, Galina, died when she was a child because of the side effects of Biotechnica painkillers. During an infiltration of Biotechnica's Night City HQ, Sasha would obtain confidential files on Securicine - the painkillers her mother used while she was sick. Even though the deadly side effects were known, the product was not pulled from the market because it was deemed too profitable. Determined to do right by her mother, Sasha would decide to upload the files to the N54 News tipline, but would end up dying in the process. Sasha would later be replaced by Kiwi as the crew's main netrunner.
