Ashley Nikiwawa (SSS)

:This article is strictly about how Ashley appears in Super Smash Stadium. For information about her in general, see her article on the Hanna-Barbera Fanon Wiki.
Ashley Nikiwawa is a playable character on Super Smash Stadium; she has also been one of the show's hosts off and on, and was the announcer from Seasons 37 to 40. She debuted alongside FCHS.
==In her own universe==
Originally intentionally designed to essentially be a genderswap of Alex, Ashley has been differentiated enough over the years that she can't be called an outright clone. She may have also been designed to fill the "exchange student" role in a high school; however, exchange students generally come from other countries rather than other states, and the role would be filled better in the revival with Myndi, a British woman.
Apparently a great inventor who has a laboratory in her basement, Ashley has designed a number of gadgets over the years that have aided in her character development. Her ability to teleport debuted not long after her own debut; however, the episode was initially banned and would not air until the summer of 2004. She also became notable for a Scooby-Doo-esque ability to don disguises quickly, an ability she attributes to having been in her old school's drama club when she was in Hawaii. In Season 3, this slowly evolved into her ability to transform, starting with what was supposed to be a non-canon movie, then a January 2005 Scooby-Doo: The Afterlife episode, before making its official debut that February.
Another notable invention is her jetpack, which has become something of a running gag on St. Clair Publications since its debut. Made out of wood and somehow able to run on solar power, this jetpack has also been used by Val in Back to Coolsville, as well as by both Yuki and Anita for Anita Sarkeesian vs. the World and Mandi in the revival; the jetpack also occasionally replaces the Rocket Belt on SSS.
Ashley was not part of the original script for Life in FCHS; Alex is believed to have added her in at the last minute after having seen Lilo and Stitch in a movie theater. Debuting in November 2002, she was originally intended to be a recurring guest character, but Alex bit the bullet and made her a permanent cast member for Season 2.
One notable feature of Ashley is the fact that she is usually seen barefoot, which she claims is an "ethnic stereotype". Since Alex is well known for his fetish for boots, as well as for bashing foot fetishists, Ashley stands out quite a bit just for her bare feet.
For the 2016 revival of Life in FCHS, Ashley serves a much lesser role, as a mentor to the show's new star, Alene Keshishian, apparently having broken her back in an unexplained incident. She now lives alone; her parents went back to Hawaii, but exactly what's happened to Lili is unknown.
Also for the 2016 revival, with Stephanie Sheh voicing Ashley, she actually has the accent of a native Hawaiian, addressing one criticism of the character. Before this, Alex voiced Ashley himself.
==Attributes==
Ashley's greatest utility is in her down special, which theoretically allows her to use every possible move in the game. Even without that, Ashley is still very strong on her own. Much like Mario, she is a "Jack of all trades" character and has balanced stats. She can also stay in water longer than any other character, a reference to her swimming skills in Life.
===Changes===
*Season 36: Power boost.
*Season 39: Slight power nerf.
*Season 45: Her stats were adjusted to match her new character from the Life in FCHS revival. As a result, she is slightly hunched over because of her back problems, thus nerfing her jumps, air game, and upward reach. However, she got a massive power boost to compensate, and Meteor Smashing became easier with her.
===Moveset===
Entrance: As with all other Life in FCHS characters, Ashley falls from the top of the screen, lands on all fours, and looks up.
Move Name	Description
Neutral Special:
Cane Toss	Ashley flings her cane/a lei, which acts like a boomerang. While the cane is somewhat strong and inflicts a little bit of knockback, the lei was weak and merely made opponents flinch.
Cane Toss kills at 300%; Lei Toss could not kill.
Side Special:
Waterspout	Ashley fires off a water tornado that can pin opponents against a wall and do heavy damage. You can hold to make her hold the move; however, it gets weaker over time.
Kills at 85% when at full power.
Up Special:
Teleport	Ashley teleports up. Use to steer.
Cannot kill.
Down Special:
Transform	Ashley sends out a green flash of light and transforms into the opponent closest to her. This gives her access to all of her opponent's moves. As with Kirby, you can taunt to make Ashley drop the transformation; she will also be forced to drop it if she takes too heavy of a hit, and the threshold for what constitutes "too much" is higher than Kirby's Copy Abilities. Does not work against another Ashley unless she has transformed; in that case, you will steal her transformation. Kirby can also steal her transformations via Inhale. As in Life, Ashley's skin tone does not change and she keeps the flower in her hair.
Before Season 39: Did not work on allies in doubles unless you had Friendly Fire turned off.
Final Smash:
Volcano	Ashley spins a lit tiki torch, raises it over her head, and summons a volcano, which essentially functions the same as the Ice Climbers' Iceberg.
If she is transformed, she'll instead use the Final Smash of whoever she turned into. She has her own unique quotes for most of these Smashes (most notably, yelling out "MOON...PRISM...POWER!!!" for any transformation FS, "JUSTICE RAINS FROM ABOVE!!!" for the PK Starstorms, or mocking "social justice warriors" by saying "Heh, trigger warning!" with any gun/bomb FS). To see what she has to say, go to any other character's article on this wiki and look for the "Ashley Variant" section.
===Taunts===
*Up Taunt: Breakdances and says "Try me again, bitch!"
*Side Taunt: Recites Hawaii's state motto, "Ua mau ke ea o ka aina i ka pono."
*Down Taunt: Flips the bird and says "You ain't shit." If she was transformed into someone, she may say something related to that character, such as "Ew, that smelled like mushrooms!" for the Mario Bros. or "So, how can the fanboys stand to play with no items, that dumb motherfucker only, Final Destination, again?" for Fox.
===Victory===
*Pose: Transforms into three other characters, then says "That all you got?"
*Theme: Team St. Clair Publications' victory theme.
*"No Contest"/Loss Theme: Team St. Clair Publications' loss theme.
==Costumes==
*Default: A white sundress. (Before Season 45: A green shirt and black leather pants.)
*Hawaiian Leather: A green shirt and black leather pants. (Before Season 45: Blue Hawaii: A blue sundress.) 
*Cheerleader: The FCHS cheer uniform.
*Hawaiian Shirt: Ashley dressed in precisely that.
*I Love Hawaii: Ashley in a ripoff of the "I Love New York" shirt that says "I ♥ HI".
*Hula Dancer: Ashley in her famous grass skirt, pictured above.
*The Olive Skin Stunner: Ashley with an olive green sweater dress and black leggings.
*Cultural Appropriation: Ashley in the traditional dress of some other country/ethnicity; she says "Fuck you, Tumblr!" on her entrance.
