There's plenty of sass to be had in . Its characters always have something to say, and more often than not, that something is a cheeky one-liner or a snide snipe. Whether they're putting down an omnipotent boss, critiquing one of Tav's decisions, or simply making a flippant remark, almost every character in has a potentially smart mouth — the only difference is how often they choose to open it.
But naturally, some characters are far ruder (and far funnier about it) than others. For some, their sassy side only shows when Tav makes certain poor decisions in .

It's hard to think of Withers as a sassy character, but he's more than capable of dishing it out.
