Lackluster Protagonist

**Asha** is the main protagonist of Disney's *Wish*. She seeks to have her grandfather's wish to be granted while becoming an apprentice for King Magnifico. After discovering the king's lies and wishing upon a star, she desires to expose Magnifico for the lies he has told to the public and return the wishes back.

She was voiced by Ariana DeBose.

## What Makes Her a Base-Breaking Character?

### Why Do Some People Like Her?

* People like Asha's personality and find her cute.
* Some like her design as it reminiscent of the fairy godmother from Cinderella.
* Many love the idea of her being an Afro-Latina character as it represent the mix diversity that Disney fans want and are glad to have her join with the other Disney Princesses.
* Many like Ariana DeBose performance in the movie including the songs she's involve in.

### Why Do Some People Don't like Her?

* Many detractors find her very bland for a protagonist and describing her of being boring. It is often cited that she remains the same throughout the entire movie and does not look any different in terms of goals and characterzation from beginning to end. Even those who like the movie agree with this problem.
* Detractors at this point are sick and tired of the adorkble trope that Disney keep shoving into their female characters nowadays. But unlike the previous ones before her, Asha doesn’t really have their hidden depths, making her characterization flat-out basic.
* Like Magnifico, most of the music she's involve in are very awkward sounding and confusing. Infamous example would Asha saying "Throw caution to every warning sign." Normally, it would be more suitable to be written as “Throw every caution to the wind”.
