Saskia

The most wonderful, amazing, sexy, perfect girl... ever. Saskia is someone that everyone loves, is jealous of, and in awe of.

But she can also be a little bit of a smarty-pants.... and a slut. But everyone looks past that because of her witty personality and amazing looks.

fist person: She is beautiful! I lover her so much! She's funny, and amazing, and wonderful. Although a little slutty sometimes.
second person: Oh my, she has to be a Saskia!
