## Information

### Voice Provider

N/A

**Ashley** is one of the animatronic antagonists in Nightmare at Charles. She is the backup singer in Charles' Pizza Zone and is positioned at the left of the animatronic band on the stage. During the day, she plays songs for the children who visit the restaurant and even interacts with them during the daily meet-and-greets, but all of that changes at night when she is left to roam around the place until 6 AM.

Like the other animatronics, she has a glitchy night mode. As a result, she will try to force any human she sees after hours into an animatronic, which will kill them instantly due to the suits themselves containing animatronic devices.

## **Physical Appearance**

Ashley is a purple animatronic cat with a lighter shade of purple on her stomach, muzzle, and the insides of her ears. She has pointy ears and a round muzzle with three big freckles and one fang on each side. She bears thin eyebrows and has eyelashes on her eyelids, as well as purple eyes. Ashley holds a microphone in her right hand, implying that she is the backup singer of the group. Unlike the rest of the animatronics, she doesn't have a single tooth on her bottom jaw. She also wears a yellow bow tie.

## **Behavior**

Ashley is usually the first animatronic who moves after Billy, but there are times when she moves before him, such as on Nights 3 and 4. Like her band mates, she will start off on the Show Stage and will start to wander into the Dining Area. Then she progresses towards the player's office via entering the Main Hallway before finally approaching the Hallway Corner. If the player does not shut the door in time, she will end their run with a jumpscare.

## **Appearances**

### Nightmare at Charles

Ashley will be seen hunting the player down throughout the nights. However, upon beating Night 6, a news article will be displayed, revealing that the pizzeria caught fire during the night and every animatronic who was in the building burned down with it. This results in Ashley becoming Burnt Ashley, one of the many animatronics seen in the sequel.

### Nightmare at Charles 2

After the events of the first game, the original animatronics were planned to be scrapped, but they were abandoned for reasons unknown. During the time the second pizzeria was being constructed and planned, the original models were discovered and a restoration was in the works. However, due to the amount of damage the animatronics sustained after the fire, the project was cancelled and the old models were thrown into the Parts/Service room.

Ashley's previous form can be seen in the three end-of-night cutscenes. In the first cutscene, she appears on the right in a deactivated state from Charles' point of view. While entering the second cutscene, however, Ashley and Billy are shown being slightly damaged, with Ashley missing her right ear and arm. Upon entering the third cutscene, the pizzeria is seen to be on fire with the animatronics on the stage slowly but surely being burned.

### Nightmare at Charles 3

Although she doesn't physically appear, Ashley still makes a cameo appearance in the newspaper at the end of Night 5.

### Nightmare at Charles 4

Ashley has her place taken by Demented Ashley, along with her other friends being replaced by their demented counterparts. The normal Ashley's severed head along with those of her other friends appear after the player beats Demented Mode.

## **Trivia**

* Ashley is the only female animatronic in Nightmare at Charles 1.
* Ashley is an animatronic whose eyes are the same color as her body.
	+ This also applies to her Rocktime counterpart seen in the second game.
* In NaC 1, the sound of light footsteps could be heard every time Ashley moves. This could help the player conserve power by only checking the hallway corner when an audio cue plays.
	+ Billy and Charles also make light footsteps.
* Ashley was planned to receive voice lines in an update for the Remastered edition of NaC 1, but the idea was scrapped.
* In AndrewJohn100's 400,000 Subscriber Q&A Special, Andrew stated that the name "Ashley" was originally a placeholder name for this character, as he was going to think of a better name. This was until Andrew kept it in, as he decided that "Ashley" was a good enough name.
	+ This is similar to when Scott originally had the names "Freddy", "Bonnie", "Chica" and "Foxy" as placeholder names of the FNaF 1 animatronics, until Scott eventually grew too fond of the names and kept them.
