CHARACTER BIOS: SASHI, STELLA and SOLIEL

  1. Sashi: Cool, calm and collected, Sashi is the most demure of the three, yet she has a demanding presence. She represents serenity and balance in nature. Sashi identifies with water, the ocean and cool colors. Like water, she can flow gently, or cause a mighty storm. Her name is of Indian origin and means, “Moon.” 

  1. Stella:  Playful and spritely, Stella is always up to some mischeif. No one ever quite knows what she’s thinking. She has a lust for life and represents the "nymphet", possessing a youthful sensuality. Stella identifies with nature, fantasy, and the colors of yellow, green and earth tones. Stella is fairy/ nymph-like with a youthful whimsy about her. Her name is of Itailian origin and means, “Star.”

  1. Soleil: Vibrant and passionate, Soleil is the most dangerous of the three. She represents chaos, power, and lust. She is strikingly beautiful, but can be cruel and unpredictable. Soleil identifies with fire, destruction and wrath. She is best described by reds, oranges, and warm colors. Her names is of French origin and means, “Sun.”
