Ann Sasha (mostly known under the pseudonym Jezail Brett) was an English assassin covering as a foreign exchange student attending Teito Yuumei University in Japan during the Meiji period. She was dining at the "La Quantos" restaurant along with her teacher, John Watson, shortly before his murder. She appeared as a witness during Ryūnosuke Naruhodō's subsequent trial for the crime.
An unexpected assassin
In spite of her demeanor, Ann Sasha actually worked as an assassin. London's Chief Justice Hart Vortex hired her to eliminate all defendants who escaped Guilty verdicts in Barok van Zieks' trials to make it seem like he was cursed, detective Tobias Gregson came up with best ways for her. After a while, Vortex decided to have her kill John H. Watson in Japan to prevent him from talking about an autopsy report regarding an incident about a serial killer, while someone else went to London to handle Gregson who was also involved. So Sasha took on the name "Jezail Brett" and was sent as an exchange student from Great Britain. She worked in Dr. Watson's research faculty in the medical block, she was studying a poison called "curare" that is only known in Europe and America.

About to kill John Watson.
Jezail Brett was dining with Professor Watson within the western themed Japanese restaurant, La Quantos. Having found out about the professor's tooth extraction, she intended to have him murdered him swiftly and without notice, by use of the poison she was studying in his drink. However, her plan almost fell apart when she and Watson were approached by another patron, a young man who had the intent of introducing himself to the visiting professor. Due to that, Brett couldn't leave before the professor died.
When the professor had succumbed to the curare, his body began to fall so she used the chair to support the body. Since the young man ruined her original plan, Brett decided to frame him for the crime. She dropped Watson's handgun on the floor so that the young man would pick it up to give it back. She then fired her own identical handgun that was under her skirt to make it look like Professor Watson died from blood loss. As the waiter shoved the young man in to the supply closet, she rotated the chair to make the man's back face the table and made her escape. However, the young man soon remembered her as he went to face trial.
At the Trial
Jezail Brett was soon called as a witness in the trial of Ryūnosuke Naruhodō, the young man she had encountered before, when he revealed John Watson couldn't have possibly eaten the beefsteak on the table due to his oral surgery. She first spoke English even though she knew Japanese because she thought the language was unfit for her to speak. She decided to stop using detective Hosonaga as a translator when the defense suggests that the gunshot didn't kill the professor. When the defense found out that there might be poison in the carbonated water bottle that was at the scene, Brett takes a drink from it an is fine. When the defense shows that curare must have entered through the hole Watson's tooth was pulled from, she grabs the bottle and drops it causing the rug to soak it up. By revealing that Taizou Uzukumaru stole Sanmon Sonohigurashi's koban as separate incident, the defense finally proves that she is guilty. She is dragged around the courtroom by the swan on her hat and fully acknowledges her crime but does not reveal her motive AKA anything about Vortex's program. Japan became unable to try this British woman under their own laws due the consular courts of Great Britain, all according to Vortex's plan. So she would eventually be sent to Shanghai, China in nine months to stand trial as there is a consul office of Great Britain there.
Death
- Main Article: The Adventure of the Blossoming Attorney
Being interviewed by Heita Mamemoni.
Despite killing John Watson, Jezail Brett was allowed to continue her research. Close to her extradition date to Shanghai, she asked that her last memory of Japan be at the beach, with Satoru Hosonaga assigned to her, the government allowed it. Heita Mamemomi, a journalist working under author Sōseki Natsume, came into her beach hut to interview her about the crime she committed. However, Brett just made fun of him, calling him a monkey who didn't know the difference between peeking and journalism. Unknown to her, Mamemomi slipped some poison he secretly got from a previous interview into her drink.
The end of Ann Sasha.
After he left, another female student of Watson's named Haori Murasame approached Brett to return the poison that was currently in her stomach; Murasame thought she stole the poison. Heita Mamemomi was behind the beach house and realized he would get caught since the poison had some specific side effects and only someone outside of the lab would use it. So he secretly stabbed Brett in the back hoping that would kill her before the poison does. Haori Murasame was arrested for Brett's murder, but her best friend "Ryūtarō Naruhodō" exposed Mamemomi in court. Hosonaga lamented that now the world will never know why Jezail Brett killed John H. Watson now that she was dead, or so he thought...
Personality
Brett/Sasha's catchphrase
At first glance, Brett appears to be calm and collected exuding an aura of innocence and grace. However, this no more than a facade, as she is in reality cunning and malicious. This is shown by her attempts to pin the murder on Naruhodō, such as dropping a handgun and firing a second to make him appear to be the murderer, blatantly accusing him of murdering Watson, and even stating that his punishment should be extended when his innocence was not yet proven and the trial had not even ended yet. Her only benevolent trait is her love and devotion of the Great British Empire, citing English as the most beautiful language.
Brett is also shown to be very calculating and intelligible. She knew to use a poison that the police in that country had no idea existed, and spontaneously came up with an elaborate plot to frame Naruhodō for Watson's murder after her intended plan was disrupted. She also believes to believe Japanese culture to be barbaric, as shown in the game, she avoids speaking Japanese because she thinks it is unfit to be spoken by her and calls the police force to be undeveloped. She acts calm and collected until her breakdown in court.
