Ashley (Morgu)

**Ashley** is the anti-hero of the 2017 short horror film *Morgu.* Ashley refused to leave her old house after her mother sold it and summoned Morgu in order to keep her there.

She is portrayed by Alejandra Gollas.

## Physical Appearance

Ashley is a little Caucasian girl with brown hair and brown eyes. She wears a white dress.

## Characteristics

Ashley shows a defiant personality, bordering on selfishness, and was extremely resistant to leave the house she grew up in. She was willing to employ whatever she had to use in order to stay, even going as far as summoning a demon that would bind her to the house and having the demon kill her mother, presumably the only person who could force her to leave. Ashley had no problem becoming the overseer of Morgu so long as it meant she never had to leave her home.

## Background

Sometime before the events of the film, Siobahn gave birth to Ashley. Some time earlier, Siobahn sold the house that Ashley grew up in to move to another home, which angered Ashley.

## Crypt Monster Universe

### Morgu

In the attic on moving day, Ashley drew a summoning circle on the attic floor and summoned Morgu, a demon bound to her house, and ordered her to make sure she stayed at the house. Siobahn calls up the stairs, telling her that it's time for them to leave. When she gets no response, she goes up to the attic and finds her daughter cowering under a table. She pulls Ashley out and tries to drag her out of the attic, only for Ashley to thrash out of her arms. She yells defiantly at her mother that she can't sell the house, and that she can't take Ashley away from the house.

Ashley then raises her arms and Morgu appears out of the shadows. Siobahn suddenly goes on the defense, reciting a protection spell to keep Morgu from harming her daughter. Morgu tells Siobahn that "the guardian of the house" must stay, and that she can never leave. Siobahn pleads with her daughter, but Ashley raises her arms higher, prompting Morgu to fly above her mother. Siobahn pleads with her one last time, and Ashley sics Morgu on her. The demoness turns into a cloud of black smoke and goes into Siobahn's mouth, causing black fluid to leak from her nose, eyes, and mouth. She falls on the floor, now dead, and Ashley touches the black fluid.

The film then cuts to Ashley standing in the open doorway of the house, with strange black markings on her throat. She steps back into the house, and Morgu shuts the door.

### Fight Night, Part 1

A picture of Morgu is located on the billboard in the boss's office, with a slip of paper under it labelling her as captured. This implies that some time between her debut film and Monster Brawl, Morgu was captured by Micah's associates. It is unknown what happened to Ashley.
