Ashlyn Banner is the protagonist of School Bus Graveyard. She debuted in Episode 1, and is a typical teenage girl. It's been confirmed by Red that despite her father using the phrase "16 years of existence", Ashlyn is 15 in the beginning of the comic.

## Physical Appearance

Ashlyn Banner is a short girl, standing at 4'11. She has pale skin, freckled most around her face, shoulders, neck, chest, and knees. She has hip-length ginger hair with bangs and sidepieces that frame her face, and she has slate green eyes with prominent eyelashes. Alongside this, she has thin black eyebrows. Her hair is usually in two braids that crown her head, and when her hair's down it's shown to be unruly and wavy. In the phantom dimension, her hair is chin-length and fluffs out in the back. She's usually wearing clothing with army representation, and she has a black backpack. She can usually be seen wearing ear plugs or headphones due to her Tinnitus and Hyperacusis. In the phantom dimension, she can be seen wearing the black protective suit that was purchased by Aiden.

## Personality

Ashlyn Banner is an introverted girl. She finds socializing exhausting, similar to her mother. She seems to dislike conversating with anyone outside of her family, and it's noted specifically by her father and Taylor that she's never had a friend. She's also quite blunt, as when she's telling Tyler off, she's not seen tip-toeing over her words at all. She loves dance, as she has a DDR (Dance Dance Revolution) mat in her room, and is in ballet. She was taught kickboxing by her parents at a young age, and she only agreed to it due to the fact it could help her in dance. She is a natural leader, as the moment she and her groupmates ended up in a dangerous situation, she took the reins almost instantly.

## Relationships

### Mike Banner

Mike is Ashlyn's father. She seems to have an incredibly close relationship with him, as he's often seen teasing her - As he's seen in multiple episodes either laughing at her, ruffling her hair, or trying to help her come out of her shell. He used to be active in the military, according to Ashlyn.

### Emma Banner

Emma is Ashlyn's mother. She shares Ashlyn's introverted trait, and is usually seen in a shared state of relief with her daughter when company leaves. She and her daughter share multiple other traits, as when Ashlyn was almost late for the bus, Emma was also late for work. She also used to be active in the military according to Ashlyn.

### Aiden Clark

Aiden seems to be Ashlyn's first friend. They're nearly polar opposites- When Ashlyn doesn't want to talk, Aiden is rambling. When Ashlyn is frowning, Aiden is smiling. He is only ever seen frowning when Ashlyn is in danger. He seems to have romantic interest in Ashlyn. Eventually, she finds herself much closer to Aiden, worrying about his safety often. She also cried when he was crushed by rubble, and held him afterwards.

### Ben Clark

Ben is Aiden's cousin, and seems to share most traits with Ashlyn. When Aiden insists they can take on a horde of phantoms with bottles full of chemicals, Ben and Ashlyn both rush Aiden to just leave it. He's also seen wrapping Ashlyn's arm up. Other than this, they don't talk much.

### Taylor Hernandez

Taylor is seen constantly being as kind as possible to Ashlyn. She seems to have known Ashlyn for a while (One-sidedly) as she notes that she's never seen Ashlyn hang out with anyone. When Ashlyn breaks down, she almost instantly tries to comfort her. When Ashlyn is injured, she's seen using Taylor as a means of staying upright, and smiles when Taylor asks if she's okay.

### Tyler Hernandez

Tyler is seen constantly clashing with Ashlyn, although it's clear he cares for her, as he carries her when she's injured. It's unknown whether he's as aware of Ashlyn constantly being alone as Taylor is. Ashlyn seems to have low patience with him, as they argue often in the series, most prominently when he blames her for the incident, and she tells him that if he won't make himself useful, he should make himself scarce.

### Logan Fields

Logan firsts sees Ashlyn when he drops his schedule and she picks it up. He seemed incredibly shy, but eventually warmed up to her, and saved her when her life was in danger. When Ashlyn is worried about splitting up when Logan offers to deal with the bullies alone, she instantly grabs his hand and yells "No!" before saying they stay together. Afterwards, Logan holds Ashlyn's hand to try to calm her down, and agrees to sticking together. In a certain episode, Ashlyn and Logan hug, making Logan the second person Ashlyn has hugged aside from her parents.
