sa
Notes
“Sa” is linked to the noun that follows, not to the gender of the person we’re talking about, e.g:
Marie asks Léa : Comment s’appelle le frère de Sophie ? (What is the name of Sophie’s brother?)
Léa says: Son frère s’appelle Pierre. (Her brother is called Peter.) because frère (brother) is a masculine word.
Marie asks Tom : Comment s’appelle la sœur de Christophe ? (What is the name of Christophe’s sister?)
Tom says: Sa sœur s’appelle Claire. (His sister is called Claire.) because sœur (sister) is a feminine word.
