I think Sasha must not have been very close to her mother, or they had a strained relationship. Because despite knowing her father is a henchman and saying her mother was right that he was “no good” she still chose to follow him to Gotham of all places. Not just that, she stayed there. The entire time she was running around with Jason, Sasha wasn’t an orphan. Her mother was still alive, in Russia! Did she ever call her mother to tell her what happened? Did she visit (perhaps while Jason was in prison?) If she did then she didn’t stay, because in the end when Jason asks her where she wants to go she asks to stay with him.
Now I don’t read Jason and Sasha as father/daughter (among other reasons, Dick calls her Jason’s girlfriend) but I definitely think there’s a parallel between her relationship with her father and her relationship with Jason.
I’m not convinced that Sasha shares the same conviction in killing for the greater good that Jason has. I don’t think she’s really thinking about the greater good at all really- she just loves Jason and knows he loves her back. That’s all she needs. It’s interesting that she has this element of… innocent apathy(?) to her.
Another parallel: Jason’s first official kill was Egon, and he did it because he cared. Likewise, Sasha’s first kill was her own father and she did it as a mercy. If she had been allowed to stick around the story longer, what would her morals have turned out to be like?
