Ashley (Remake)

## Ashley

**Ashley** is a survivor of the outbreak in *Strain Zero*. She is a guard and later a lieutenant at Hometown.

## Pre-Apocalypse

Nothing is known about Ashley's life before the outbreak. She may have been visiting an unnamed department store on the day of the outbreak.

## Post-Apocalypse

Following the outbreak, Ashley became a member of a community called Hometown, led by Stoffman. How she joined the group is unknown, but it is possible that she was visiting the store on the day of the outbreak.

### Season 2

#### "An Iron Fist"

Ashley first appears accompanying Declan as they put the Wall Workers to work. Like Declan, Ashley appears cruel and bullyish. However, when personaly escorting Henry to Justin's armoury, she reveals herself to be much more timid and shy, apologising to Henry. She says she acts cruel so as to impress Declan, who she has a crush on. Henry forgives her, much to her appreciation, before he makes sure that she knows that he is not to be messed with, showing his bruised knucles from when he punched Declan in the face.

Henry later sees Ashely on her patrol and the two of them exchange smiles.

Three months after Henry's arrival at Hometown, Ashley has done something to impress Stoffman enough that he made her one of his lieutenants, with her jurisdiction being the eastern side of the building and the new extension of the main building. In this time, Ashley and Henry have become more friendly, and it is even hinted that Ashley has a crush on him. They stand next to one another as they give in their daily reports to Stoffman and wish each other goodnight.

During the walker attack on Hometown, Edwards leads the community's forces in holding them back. After killing most of the walkers, Ashley spots a reanimated Ashley amongst the dead. Regrettfully, Edwards shoots her in the head and ends her misery. He would later discover that Stoffman was responsible for her death as part of his plan to cull a small portion of Hometown's population.

## Death

### Killed by:

* Stoffman *(caused)*
* Zombies *(alive)*

When Stoffman sabotages the extension wall to frame Ron, zombies are released into the community, one of their victims being Ashley, who possibly led the initial counterattack due her role as lieutenant of the wall extension. Her reanimated, bitten corpse is later seen as the zombies move into the community.

* Henry Edwards *(zombified)*

After he rallies the guards, Henry leads the community's counterattack. He spots a reanimated Ashley in the herd; he gives a sad look before shooting her in the head.

## Killed Victims

* 2 unnamed people *(Reanimated)*
* Numerous counts of zombies

## Relationships

### Stoffman

Not much is known about the relationship between Ashley and Stoffman. Ashley adopts a more brutal persona to impress him. Three months after Edwards' arrival, Stoffman makes her one of his lieutenants. Stoffman obviously cared little for her or the other residents of the community as he purposely sabotaged the wall extension, allowing a herd of walkers to enter the community, leading to Ashley's death. When he talks about those the community lost, Stoffman does not even mention Ashley by name.

### Declan

Not much is known about the relationship between Ashley and Declan. Ashley has a crush on Declan, but judging by how he treats her it is very unlikely that Declan shares her feelings. Nonetheless, when Ashley becomes a lieutenant Declan appears to treat her with some more respect and appears somewhat saddened upon seeing her corpse among those who died in the walker attack.

### Harry Edwards

Ashley and Edwards became friends during the brief time they knew each other. Ashley was attracted to Henry and overtly flirted with him before giving up during the three-month time-skip, after which they often patrolled together and talked about their experiences. Henry was visibly saddened when he saw Ashley's reanimated body.
