Dr Sayla Mass has lived what could be considered an eventful life. One of the surviving pilots of the White Base from the One Year War, Sayla retired from the military to complete her medical training. In the following years she created the Yumi Foundation, caring for war orphans, and in UC0083 was appointed the Earth Federation High Commissioner for Refugees, but suddenly resigned in 0085. Since then, she seems to have retired to philanthropic work, living off her familial wealth. In reality, she has been working in an organizational role with the Shuffle Alliance, managing resources and coordinating relief and infrastructure building efforts in the aftermath of Alliance operations. Juggling this with her charitable work and caring for her ward Leina has been difficult, but after the Axis Shock she has taken on the additional burden of piloting. Sayla is personable enough, but guarded and occasionally cold, and it's few who can claim to know the 'real' Sayla Mass.

Background
- 0062: Records state she was born in Valencia, Spain to Teabolo and Alejandra Mass. She grew up there with her older brother, Edouard.
- 0068: Moved to Cáceres province with her family, setting up in a small farmhouse. Starts volunteering at refugee camps at a young age.
- 0075: The Mass house burns down, killing Teabolo and Alejandra, orphaning Edouard and Sayla. Sayla is sent to a boarding school at Side 5. Edouard disappears not long after.
- 0076: Sayla Mass enters Medical School in Loum at 14, and excels in her studies.
- 0079: Sayla commences an internship at a Side 7 hospital, only to get caught up in a Zeon attack, She becomes part of the crew of the White Base, and serves valiantly as one of the pilots of the RX-78-2 Gundam and the FF-X7-Bst Core Booster. She holds the second highest kill count of the White Base pilots, but it pales in comparison to Amuro Ray. She retires immediately after the war, ending her career as an Ensign.
- 0080: With Side 7 still near destroyed from the war, Sayla starts an internship at a Hospital in Cheyenne, Wyoming on the Britannian Mainland. At the same time, she starts a relationship with fellow White Base Pilot Amuro Ray. While they face media scrutiny for a time, interest in Amuro drops after a few interviews.
- 0082: After receiving a delayed inheritance meant for her, and having completed her medical training, Sayla starts practice as a pediatrician. Within a few months, she founds the Yumi Foundation, a charitable organisation aimed at aiding war orphans. The charity quickly grows. and so does it's remit.
- 0083: In the wake of Operation Stardust, Sayla is appointed Federation High Commissioner for Refugees do to her prominent charity work, vocal stance on the Federation's treatment of the victims of war, and status as a war hero. She takes this position, and attempts to do as much good as she can.
- 0084: Sayla ends her relationship with Amuro, and moves to Castellon, Spain, where she purchases a villa.
- 0085: Sayla suddenly resigns from her position as Federation High Commissioner for Refugees. While remembered as passionate and well intentioned, her foray into politics is generally considered to have been mostly for show and she accomplished little- however, in a post-Titans world, it is easy to see many of her attempts at making change were blocked by anti-spacenoid sentiment in the government. Sayla devotes herself to the Foundation full time, though keeps up her medical license in order to aid work on the ground.
- 0089: Sayla takes in a ward, Leina Ashta, due to Leina's ill health and a request from an old friend.
- 0093: Sayla disappears from the public stage for about three months after the Axis Shock. When she finally returns to the public eye, her charity efforts are redoubled, and more aggressive. She seems even more driven to make change, and the Yumi Foundation helps more people and places than it had in any year prior, with a special focus on victims of Char Aznable's assault on earth.

Notes

| Leina Ashta
|
Civilian
|
Ward
|
The most precious person in Sayla's life, Sayla thinks of Leina as her daughter, having rescued her eight years ago and raised her since then. She's so immensely proud of the woman Leina has grown into, but still worries overmuch. She wants Leina to take care of herself more, and worries she'll extend herself too far, and leave herself too vulnerable to hurt. Unfortunately, their deep care for each other means they often clash over not taking care of themselves.

The King of Braves burden is a heavy one, and everything about Triple Zero is horrifying. Sayla wishes he would let other people support him, but so many people can't see through him. Even if she doesn't agree with 3G's math, she'll still try and help him save his team. It's absolutely crushing to lose the ones closet to you...

Sayla still can't believe that motorcycle punk invented practically free energy. He really grew up, and Sayla's proud of him. It would be nice if he and Sayaka could work things out, though...

Sayla took care of the littlest kaiju after the previous Shuffle Alliance were killed. It was a rough adjustment, but Nidaime became part of the family. Sayla loves her a lot, and was gutted when she just disappeared one day. She's still afraid Nidaime will disappear again, and that thought haunts her.
