### Overall Personality

Quite similar to Tommy as they are rambunctious and very stubborn. They are extremely loyal, showing this through their attachment to their father and siblings. They are rarely ever alone, always with their siblings or Tommy or their father. They are loud and expressive and make that very apparent to people they meet. They're protective of their siblings, this may be because they are the oldest.

Ash can be arrogant and selfish, unintentionally putting their loved ones in harm because of their actions.

## History

### Early Life

Ash was born from parents they don't remember. The only thing Ash remembers from before they were found by Dream was living in a savanna and, of course, their name. At some point Ash adventured out of the savannas and found the Community House after following the sounds of voices. They tripped and rolled down into the lagoon around the Community House. Dream was the only one to notice this, ending up being the one to save them.

After being saved Dream promised to find Ash a family, which disappointed them. Ash grows an attachment to Dream after he calls them "little one".

A few days of living with the Dream Team, Dream comes back with Kira. Ash immediately bonds with her, becoming best friends and seeing each other as siblings. Dream came back with Bruce, who Kira and Ash also immediately bonded with.

During the month Ash ends up going hunting with Dream, who learns that they are a skilled hunter most likely from their hyena genes. This strengthens the bond and attachment they have on him.

About a week later, Ash and their siblings buy their very first pet from a Wandering Trader, a pufferfish who they name Pete. Because of how attached the siblings grew to Dream, they end up calling him "papa". This what finalizes Dream's plans and he ends up adopting the three of them.

A few months later, Sapnap brings his little sister, Nya, to meet the siblings. Immediately they see her as a cousin, especially as Sapnap is like an uncle to them.

At some point they meet Tommy, who grow up as childhood best friends.

### L'manburg Era

During the production of L'manburg, Ash gets inspired to create their own country despite their lack of responsibility. They take their siblings to see the border wall in construction, telling their siblings of their idea. Dream comes to investigate the new country being made, which is what begins to diminish his relationship with his children.
