Chang Sacha Character Analysis

Chang Sacha is the baker in the market where Cinder works. She discriminates against Cinder, telling her son Sunto not to play near Cinder’s booth because she is a cyborg. But when Sacha comes down with letumosis and Cinder visits the quarantines, Sacha begs Cinder to bring Sunto to him before she dies. As a result, when Cinder is given a dose of the letumosis cure, she gives it to Sunto.
