Ashymiriu

*"If something is worth doing, then it's worth having fun while doing it!" -* Ashymiriu

**Ashymiriu** is a fun-loving, kind, considerate Inkling girl that is eternally optimistic and very small. Although she is fully grown, she is only the size of an 11-year old.

## Appearance

Ashymiriu appears as a small Inkling Girl kid in the Splatoon 2 Hero suit outfit. Although she may take off the headphones, she rarely wears anything outside of the hoodie and snowshoes. Her hair is Standard Short, and she often uses makeup. She wears black shorts, and wears modest clothing if she isn't wearing other clothing. Her ink color is invariably yellow, as it is the color of the happiness she embodies. Her teeth are smaller than most, and smooth and perfect, as she spends a lot of time making sure her appearance is pleasing and happy.

## Personality

Ashymiriu is eternally kind, optimistic, and friendly. When she talks to others, it's like she puts on armor made of sunshine and can find the silver lining of any situation and cheer anyone up. She knows exactly what to say to cheer up anyone, no matter what is bothering them. Her reasoning? 'Because someone has to be there to get you through your hard times, and that's my talent.'

If Ashymiriu is unhappy, then everything can change, and she becomes glum and will begin to cry. Few things can cheer her up when she is sad, as once her sadness takes hold, it becomes much harder to shake off. Fortunately, it is very hard to make her unhappy.

## History

### Biography

Ashymiriu was born to great parents, and led a good life up until she was nine, in which her grandparents died, whom her parents were very attached to. Then her father lost his job. When she was 11, just entering adolescence, her parents began drinking heavily, and when they were drunk they started to treat Ashymiriu poorly or neglect her.

Then they turned to drug abuse, and they began to abuse her while they were sober as well. Her parents had to sell various things like their house to continue to fund their drug habit, and forgot to take care of the basic needs of their child. Ashymiriu was rarely being fed and entered a period of severe malnutrition. She was never a straight-A student, but when her parents started to abuse her, she spent much of her time in the halls hiding from adults out of fear that they would hurt her too, and her grades suffered, which increased the severity of her abuse. Due to her chronic malnutrition, her body lacked the nutrients it needed to grow properly, and as a result Ashymiriu grew very little during her adolescence, permanently stunting her growth.

When she was 14, she fell into a coma due to her starvation, and by now her parents had spent nearly everything they owned on drugs, and they could not pay for her medical bills, so they put her up for adoption. This was Ashymiriu's darkest period in her life, and she sadly never found a good family. However, with her parents gone, she became a ward of the state, and began to finally receive proper nutrition. When she was 16, she returned to proper health, but her short stature would never go away, and doctors told her she would be physically challenged her whole life.

Although this event could have been devastating for her, Ashymiriu had a never-say-die spirit, and she took that as a personal challenge. She enrolled in martial arts when she graduated from high school. Trainers were skeptical at first when they took her size into account, but Ashymiriu was a quick study and mastered three different styles of hand-to-hand combat in just two years. Her short stature made her much swifter and agile than any other opponent, and was a boon rather than a hindrance. This unique skill set and size factors made her a person of interest for the Squidbeak Splatoon, who eventually approached her and invited her. Ashymiriu always had a sense for doing what was right, and she accepted and became Agent 5.
