Ashley Snow

Ashley Snow (アシュリースノー) was a member of AKB0048's Team A. During her time as a member, she was referred to as Matsui Rena the 9th (9代目松井玲奈).
== Catchphrase ==
"Hahaha! On you, I cast a spell! And it won't be removed till a new day has started! I'm Matsui Rena the 9th! Let's be friends~!"
== Appearance ==
Ashley is 160.02cm. Her natural hair color is Black, and her eyes are also Black. She had long, straight black hair that reached her lower back before she succeeded. She was someone who valued appearance in public and typically wore cute, fashionable clothing. After succeeding, Ashley cut her hair to shoulder length. Whenever she performs on stage, she usually has a black and white bow in her hair on the left side. Because her front teeth seemed to resemble rabbit teeth, she was known as "Bun Bun" by her friends and family when she was younger, and still does to this day.
After graduating from AKB0048 for a while, Ashley's heart symbols on her eyes and hair gradually changed into a diamond shape, suggesting that she is a fellow graduate. In almost two years, she cut her hair back to its previous length and gave it a light brown hue with a wavy hair texture. Since she is approaching adulthood and can now afford to buy costly clothing thanks to her solo career's high revenue, she felt it would be better to modify her outfit in expensive clothing.
== Personality ==
She was constantly lively and cheerful, seeing the world in a good light rather than a negative light. Though she may be a spoiled little brat sometimes, which some find bothersome, this is part of Ashley's appeal. She can capture a crowd with charm and grace with a single wink. Ashley wanted to take chances and explore more of what was available; this is how she auditioned for 151st Generation by taking a risk.
== History ==
=== Early Life ===
Ashley Snow was born and raised in the planet called Aquastar. Her life was simple, and she had little to complain about because she lived in a progressive society. She is from a nuclear family with two elder brothers and a younger sister, making her the third oldest child. Because her planet is a Pro-Entertainment planet, Ashley was surrounded by everything in entertainment especially listening to the music of AKB0048. There was nothing bad about her life. 
=== Audition ===
As she entered the Flying Get, she ran across several females who were about to audition, including her best friend, Zoey Bright. Later, while going through their initial Micsaber training, she ran across the other females, including Masuda Akari and Asahina Miru. Masuda and Snow didn't get along at first, primarily because Ashley made an improper introduction; nevertheless, the two subsequently made amends and rekindled their relationship. At the cafeteria, she later ran into Miyabi Honoka and Kashita Miyagi. Ashley joined AKB0048 after surpassing a terrible and horrific event during their final audition round consisting of a training combat simulation against the DES.
=== Succession ===
She began to feel unwell, and she may have mistaken it for a cold or a headache. Later that afternoon, Ashley Snow would pass out in the dressing room as she prepared to change into a new outfit before the concert. Sadly, this fever may have persisted for up to five days. After the sixth day, AKB0048 staff members announced she would be receiving a succession concert in honor of her earning her name as Matsui Rena the 9th. 
=== Graduation ===
On Mach 4th, SC0125. The idol known as Matsui Rena the 9th sadly announced her departure with the top idol group, AKB0048, during Kazakhstar Guerilla Live concert in the 3rd MC act. Two months later on May 22nd, a concert was held for Matsui Rena the 9th saying one last goodbye to AKB0048 supporters and members.
