Ashley in Season 2

**Ashley Marshall** is a hill human and the primary protagonist of the second and third season in The End of Days. A quiet, reserved, but good natured girl from the Hill Region, Ashley is a well liked member of the main cast, and the embodiment of a good will and strong spirit.

## Biography

### Pre-Timeline

Ashley was born into a loving home with multiple siblings in the Hill Clan. She described herself as mischievous and a little bit of teenage rebellion. Things took a turn for the worse when Ashley overheard a plot to kill the old Hill king, Vessel the Fair. Before she could warn Vessel, Daniel Jones and Phaendar Chancery caught her, and decided to punish her. Jones held her down while Chancery burned a mark into Ashley's arm with a cattle-prod, a mark that banished her from the Hill, and caused her family to disown her. Ashley was forced to live alone in the wilds due to the event, and holds a hatred of Daniel Jones and Phaendar for the act they committed against her.

### Season 2

Ashley Marshall first appears in the Season 2 pilot, where she shows up in the battle against a Hill monster. She keeps her distance at first, though reveals herself later on, explaining to the group that she was an exiled hill person, and not one that actively killed Underground.

She leads the group to New Toronto, telling them she'd spotted Olivander being taken there earlier. She however refuses to go in the city with them, fearing of what the Hill would do if they found her breaking the law of her banishment.

It is revealed she changed her mind, when she sneaks into the Hill Boss' house, to rescue Marcus Mariota, Morgan, and Penelope. She manages to take out the cell guards with some quick martial arts skills, leading the group to the arms room before killing the armorer.

After the three get their items, Ashley shows them an escape route, as they all escape from the house. They escape on a boat after a Strike Force hit, as Ashley reluctantly agrees to join them and sail into the Tundra.

They are attacked that night by Drowners, though Ashley shows her marksmanship with a bow as she manages to kill several with precisely shot arrows. She then dives overboard to rescue Naomi, who had been captured by a drowner. With the help of Lucas and Marcus Mariota, the trio succeed in getting Naomi out of the lake.

Ashley later fights some Hill Raiders that ambush the group south of the Tundra Capital. After the ordeal, she lets her hair down and wears a beanie to conceal her pointed ears, so the Tundra people wouldn't kill her if they spotted her.

Ashley later on pursues kidnappers who take Naomi into the woods. They're revealed to be agents of Daniel Jones, who leads the group into an ambush. Ashley, who is hidden in the tree tops, watches the events unfold, and noticing them start to get very dangerous, she throws a smoke bomb, allowing the group to escape.

However in the chaos, Ashley lost her hat, and once the Tundra city sees her ears, she is prosecuted and thrown into a dungeon, where she is tortured and jailed. This doesn't stop her from escaping her cell, before she beats up the jailer, and escapes back to the city just as the Battle of the Tundra Capital begins.

Ashley fights in the large battle, using her ability with a bow to take out several hill people, and manages to survive the battle.
