The Ashleys

**The Ashleys** are a clique of four beautiful, fashionable, snobby, and spoiled girls, and are always uttering the phrase "Scandalous!". Each of them has a younger brother named Tyler and a younger sister named Brittany, who are also students at Third Street School. They are recurring antagonists towards the Third Street School's Recess Gang, especially towards Spinelli, due to her first name being Ashley and her refusal to join their clique.

They have been known to have ideas that can do damage to the playground itself, while they are benefited, for example, a rating system that caused catastrophic damage to the playground's balance of nature until The Recess Gang managed to fix it. They have also been known to be rather cruel to kids who are not like them, specifically picking on Gus in the Third Street School version of "Jinxed", their debut appearance.

The Ashleys always win the school can collection drive, using their families' money so they can just buy hundreds of cans of food. This makes up for the other classes not participating since they know that they cannot beat The Ashleys' class.

The Ashleys first met sometime back when they were in Kindergarten. Coincidentally, all four of The Ashleys were wearing purple when they first met. To celebrate the anniversary of the day they first met, which they refer to as "Purple Day", The Ashleys have a tradition of wearing *only* purple on that day. They take the tradition *really* seriously, to the point of where Ashley A. was temporarily kicked out of the group in "Outcast Ashley" for (accidentally) wearing yellow instead of purple. Ashley A. hung out with Gretchen Grundler until she was let back into the group by Ashleys B, Q, and T.

The Ashleys are the Aubrees' Third Street School counterparts as well as the Megans' Third Street School counterparts. They make their appearance in Dance Lessons as dance students where Rigalli meets them. They are as very snobby as the Aubrees and the Megans.

## Trivia

* Their full last names are revealed in the episode "The Beauty Contest", which is also the first time the Ashleys are seen in their formal wear.
* In the Spanish dub of the series, their catchphrase is "¡Que escándalo!" ("What a scandal!")
* In the Brazilian Portuguese dub, their first names are changed to "Patricia", but their last names stayed the same. Meanwhile, in the European Portuguese dub, they are still named 'Ashley', with their catchphrase is "Escandaloso!", which is the exact translation of "Scandalous!".
* They are based on the Heathers from the 1980s cult film, *Heathers*.
* It is shown in the Third Street School version of "Parents' Night" that their mothers are friends as well--this could be at least part of the reason why they (and their siblings) all have the same first names.
