Fasha (Selypa; English "Seripa"; ; ) is the only female member of Bardock's crew.
Biography
Fasha after being killed by Dodoria's men.
Fasha is introduced when she, along with her teammates, Bardock, Tora, Borgos, and Shugesh attacked Planet Kanassa. After Bardock is attacked by the last surviving Kanassan, Fasha and others decided to return him back to their homeworld Planet Vegeta so that he could be healed. After leaving Bardock on Vegeta to recover, they set off to destroy the inhabitants on Planet Meat as their next assignment. After reaching Meat they immediately destroy all of its natives, but before they could celebrate the moment, she was ambushed and killed by Dodoria's Elite.
Her name is a play on the name of the vegetable "parsley".
Motherhood
The prospect of Fasha being the biological mother of Goku and Raditz is the source for debate amongst the Dragon Ball fanbase. However, there are several discrepancies that contradict this, as it appeared Goku was born around the time she and the rest of Bardock's crew were attacking Kanassa. Also, when she mentions Bardock's son, she doesn't acknowledge that Goku is her son. The fact that it was mentioned on Kanassa that Goku had been born just yesterday while Fasha was fighting on the planet also tends to support that she wasn't his mother. In any case, the speculation about Fasha and her relationship with Bardock and Goku will continue to be left open.

Other appearances
Fasha without her scouter, during a brief cameo appearance in Dragon Ball Z.
Fasha has also made several cameo appearances. The first was when Fasha appeared along with Tora and Bardock in an episode of Dragon Ball Z, during Frieza's recollection of various Saiyans whose deaths he was responsible for. The second was in Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 3, when Bardock does his final move. Fasha has also made her video game debut as a playable character in Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3.
Trivia
- Somewhat ironically, Fasha's voice actress in Funimation's dub of the anime, Linda Chambers-Young, also voices Frieza, the overlord who oppressed Fasha and her Saiyan comrades.
- Fasha is one of the only female pure-blooded Saiyans to appear in the anime as a supporting character, as none have appeared in the manga. Although a brief story scene that Goku is told by King Kai does briefly show several full-blooded male Saiyans and a full-blooded female Saiyan (with a knife in her mouth), all dressed in primitive clothing. Also, in Frieza's Flashback of King Vegeta's revolt, one of his elite guards was female.
