Ash (Phantom Brave)

==Summary==
Sullen and soft-spoken, Ash is a Phantom and serves as Marona's guardian. Formerly a Chroma, Ash died protecting Marona alongside her parents. With the last of his power, Marona's father trapped Ash between life and death, enabling him to continue to look after Marona in their stead. Invisible to most mortal eyes, Ash now resides on Phantom Isle with Marona, disposing of hateful mail directed towards Marona, who many people believe to be possessed by dark spirits, and generally filling the role of a legal guardian/foster brother.
In combat, Ash is offense-oriented, particularly in regard to his physical stats, reflecting the selflessness and bravery with which he readily throws himself into the thick of the fight. His unique techniques tend to involve the Water element and dragon motifs, and also suggest that he uses the water dragon Eccarlate's power in his own attacks: whether he killed this dragon and stole its powers, formed a pact with it, or makes use of its power in some other way (if any at all) remains unknown.
