Asha

Asha is a main character on TNT's Snowpiercer, introduced in Season Three. She is portrayed by Archie Panjabi.
==History==
When Asha was 6, she would run through the forest of her grandparents farm, in the Western Ghats.
Asha would travel jobs all around the world, to run away from her mother. The UK, reactors in Romania, Canada, finally South Korea. After arriving in South Korea before the Freeze, she and the group of scientists must have traveled to North Korea, when the Freeze happened.
Asha was part of a group of 34 foreign nuclear technicians, (career scientists and some of their families) in a nuclear plant in North Korea, who initially survived the beginning of The Freeze, by living off residual heat from the nuclear reactor as it cooled. After some time had passed, the group were attacked by marauders, who killed almost half of the group members. After the marauders died off, they turned on each other. The high radiation levels in the plant caused radiation poisoning killing many of the group members, and the cold eventually made living conditions even harder. Asha, who was desperate to keep her 15-year old nephew safe, poisoned the others. However, he had become sick with thyroid cancer, leading to her nephew begging Asha to kill him because of the pain. After a mercy kill, Asha remained the only survivor for four years.The Last to Go

Asha told Layton of what happened in the nuclear reactor and how she made it out there so long.The Last to Go Later when Wilford fires his Harpoon weapon into the Pirate Train, and Sykes rescued her from one of the derailing cars, Layton offers her the Engineer's quarters instead.The First Blow 
In Setting Itself Right, Asha has begun working in Ag-Sec. She later sacrifices herself to save Snowpiercer from a cloud of toxic volcanic gas.
== Relationships ==
Asha had a nephew, who died from cancer during their stay in the bunker. Why her nephew was with her in the bunker remains unexplained.
Asha is also very close to Layton as he saves her life. She would also help Layton lie to the train about New Eden when he asked her to, although she never told him the whole story about her nephew.

== Trivia ==
*She has spoken the opening dialogue in Setting Itself Right and died right in that episode.
*After Layton tells Asha she's on Snowpiercer, she isn't confused what that is and is surprised that it survived, which means the Wilford Industries Global Express was also known as Snowpiercer before it was secretly turned into an ark.
*Asha was Indian and drank Masala chai.
*Asha would travel jobs all around the world, to run away from her mother. The UK, reactors in Romania, Canada, finally South Korea. (This level of details in the scenario is quite remarkable, as India, Romania, Canada and South Korea belong to the handful of countries that use the same type of nuclear reactors, with heavy water as a moderator. Asha's description of her professional career may seem completely random but it isn't.)
*Asha also maintained the air quality at the nuclear plant, with a sensitive Atmospheric CCA.
*After arriving in South Korea before the Freeze, she and the group of scientists must have traveled to North Korea, when the Freeze happened.
*The design for Asha's suit may have been inspired by the Explorers outfit from the comics, as their helmets have similar designs.
