## Hydra Gang

On **3rd October 2022**, Flippy invited Ash to come along and cook in their lab. At the time, Ash was still second-in-command in Seaside, so even though she wanted to cook in the lab, she didn't think it was appropriate and more than likely didn't want to be put in the middle of having to hold onto a secret. Flippy eventually handcuffed her and brought her to the first lab at the oil fiends, where the cook failed. She went along to the second lab in Harmony and she finally cooked her own strain in a lab, called "*Dogfish*". After leaving the lab, Ash and Hydra immediately found themselves in a traffic stop with a K9 unit. After a short chase, and a longer shootout, the full crew were arrested. While Ash was in prison, she realized that Seaside wasn't treating her like how they should treat a family member, especially a second-in-command. After leaving prison, Ash decided to leave Seaside and began to spend more time with Hydra.
Eventually on **19th October 2022**, Flippy put Ash on the spot during a Hydra meeting, where he included her close friends **Sherry Paie** and **Rexarius Bracchimus** in the meeting, and said she needed to say "yes" or "no" to Hydra and she finally accepted saying yes to becoming a Hangaround in Hydra.
After being apart of the Hydra family, she realized how rough things really were in Seaside and says she is happy things happened they way they did and that she hasn't been this happy in a really long time. She was officially promoted to a full member on **4th January 2023** after Flippy reorganized the gang's ranking system.

### Close Friendships

*“Hello chat... I mean Ash!”*
Sherry was Ash's superior at **Burger Shot** who Ash found a bit weird at first, but grew keen on the longer she worked there. An individual who thrives on chaos, Sherry loves to play pranks on her employees like Ash, such as pretending to fire her (twice) or staging fake kidnappings. Despite this, both of them learned to place great trust in each other. Ash greatly enjoys spending her time with Sherry, whether it be chilling on benches, conducting Burger Shot job quests, infiltrating cults, and just general shitlording together.
Ash confides a lot of her worries to Sherry and considers Sherry her very best friend (outside of **Benji Ramos**) in the whole city. After giving Ash a lot of advice and help in setting up her own business, Ash gave Sherry a senior managerial position at Ash's **UwU Café**. Ash also supported Sherry when she was fired from Burger Shot and offers a sounding board to her in her role as "Derputy" Mayor of Los Santos. Sherry in turn lent her advice when it was Ash's turn to be Deputy Mayor.

Sherry participated in extreme trauma therapy to break Ash out of the **Lost MC**'s brainwashing during the **War in Sandy Shores** in 2022. In its aftermath, Ash's mind was left shattered with a jumble of confusing signals and Sherry was appalled at what she had done. For a while things were awkward between the two, with both of them actively avoiding each other. Bit by bit, the space they gave each other allowed wounds to heal and they started to open up to each other once more.
Sherry is a trusted friend to the **Seaside** family. Even after Ash leaving Seaside and joining Hydra, Sherry is always there for her every step of the way even getting to know Ash's new family, Hydra and hanging out in the Snake Pit.
*“Yeah, you'll never get rid of me, Ash!”*

*“I'm with you, all the way. Ride or die...or something.”*
On her first day in the city, Ash randomly ran into one Irwin Dundee trying to pawn off drugs outside the **Burger Shot**. The two Australians naturally formed a fast friendship and Dundee immediately instructed her in the ways of house robberies. The two got into random adventures soon after, including one where Ash has to help Dundee escape the scene of a shooting in which he got severely injured. Dundee is partly responsible for introducing Ash and **Benji Ramos** to one another, and later helped them get together proper through an impromptu relationship therapy session when they were going through a rough patch.
Ash grew to have a lot of love and respect for Dundee, who she trusted to always answer her calls to hangout. Dundee in turn was ready to go all out to protect her at the slightest whiff of danger to her person. She was distraught over Dundee's extended disappearance, and participated in the search for him. Grateful for the effort she put in, Dundee trusted Ash enough that she was the first individual outside of his club that he directly revealed his return to, much to Ash's relief.

*“I told you I'd ride or die for you. Honestly at the time I didn't mean it, I didn't know you. But now I do and, you know, I mean it! Ride or die. I'll support you no matter what!”*
Dundee was one of Ash's first friends in the city and Benji’s oldest and closest friend outside the **Vagos**. At **Clean Manor** one fateful evening, Dundee chose to stand by one of his Prospects over Benji and Ash, which resulted in the latter two being gunned down by said Prospect. Even after the Prospect shot Benji, Ash, and **Chino Gonzalez**, Dundee still protected him over his close friends, choosing, with great remorse, his gang over friendship. Though he acknowledged that the Prospect screwed up, he refused to turn him over to then and even went to war against the Vagos to protect him. The war concluded with the Vagos the victors, the **Bondi Boys MC** splintered, and the friendship between Dundee and Benji and Ash shattered. Although Dundee has given Ash a lot to live for in this city, she isn't willing to be allies and friends with someone who is in conflict with Benji, especially one who stabbed him in the back.
*“I don't think you understand, Dundee. Once you've tied (a rope) back together, that's gonna be a weak spot forever...and it can still come apart at any moment. And eventually, you're gonna run out of rope you can tie back together.”*

The next few months between Ash and Dundee were tense, each encounter between them curt and snappy if not openly confrontational, with Ash prodding Dundee to reconcile with Benji on the side. Another blow to saving the friendship was hearing he almost killed **Malakai Anderson** and **Riley Carter**. The tipping point was the execution of **Hunter Skye**, which Ash figured out was conducted by Dundee and the BBMC despite Dundee repeatedly lying to her face that **Marabunta Grande** did it. With the relationship between Benji and Dundee on the path of healing, Ash herself decided to confront Dundee and his lies head on.
Meeting at the spot where Hunter died, Dundee doubled down on his stories until Ash pointed out their inconsistencies, and promised her acceptance and silence if he was honest that it was "club business" that got Hunter killed. Dundee, showing genuine remorse, finally came clean about the truth of Hunter's death and his regrets doing it.

Dundee: *“Do you hate me now?”*
Ash: *“A little bit... I would have hated you completely if you lied.”*
With her getting closure on Hunter, Dundee and Ash may not have returned to being the best friends they were before, but at long last the door was open to mending their fractured bonds.
*“There's no going back, only going forward.”*
Since that day, their relationship appears to have normalized back to that of close friends, both for Dundee and the BBMC, with which Ash and the Seaside family are trusted allies to.

### Other Friendships

Dawn grew close to Ash through their mutual friendship with **Sherry Paie**. The three of them often engage in chill hangout sessions or shitlording antics such as performing extended dance routines outside of banks and **MRPD**. Having been an "Old Lady" of the **Lost MC**, Dawn also bonded with Ash over their experiences being significant others to major gang members, with Dawn seeking out Ash's counsel when the **Chang Gang** street team were attacking the Lost and her personally. Dawn was upset at her fellow Lost members when they brainwashed Ash and made every effort to make sure they did not try to take advantage of her compromised state.

One of Ash's first friends she made while doing crime, Malakai helped Ash and **Lenny Large** on jobs as an escape driver and even once was invited to smoke weed with her and Lenny in her apartment. When he was casino floor manager, Ash also occasionally relied on Malakai for private wheel spins for her and **Benji Ramos**. In their frequent encounters, Ash has enjoyed conversing and catching up with him, even referring to him as her first best friend. Ash believes that the white color for his hair tips has a rather kinky origin.
During the ordeal with the **Vagos** versus **Bondi Boys MC**, she was sad that **Irwin Dundee** had cast out her close friends over the same Prospect that was the root cause of the situation. She had asked Benji if he would ask them to be Vagos which he said no to but she was happy to know that Benji would take care of them. For Ash it was important that **Riley Carter** and Malakai were in a better place since they were some of her first friends in the city.
She helped lend an ear to both parties when Malakai and Riley had a bit of a falling out.

A very close friend of Malakai, Riley quickly befriended Ash by association. Riley once organized a group to tell Ash a bedtime story in her apartment to help lull her off to sleep. When she was still Vice Prime Minister of the **Bondi Boys MC**, Riley knew she could rely on Ash to offer the club assistance and information when they needed it, and relied on her to help in solving **Irwin Dundee**'s disappearance. Riley offered to be a safe haven to Ash when **Chang Gang** was looking for her.

A **Ballas** Hangaround known as "Kitty".
Ash was initially suspicious of him due to several encounters with him related with **Outto-Tune Tyrone**. As tensions between the **Vagos** and the Ballas dissipated, Ash began to talk to him and **Jay Jones** more often.
During an incident where **Benji Ramos** was kidnapped by **Sai Carter**, Kitty joined Ash in the rescue party to get him back. Lately, since Kitty left the Ballas Ash has started hanging out in the open with him again. Lending open arms and a hug to her close friend after the whole ordeal he has been through. Ash is very bemused with his alternate persona "Pancho" when he removes his mask.

After a rocky introduction, Ash has since become a trusted associate to this master criminal.
In her criminal days, Ash did her first bank job with Yuno, which was also Yuno's first hacking job. After Ash settled into civilian life, Yuno sought Ash out for a loan when he was downbad and entrusted her with his stash for a short while, both of which Ash happily complied. Yuno has also brought Ash along as a somewhat willing hostage on a bank and store job. On his "chill" days between criminal jobs, Yuno sometimes gets Ash to hang out for manic adventures that often land everyone involved in the hospital. These include wild rides to Mount Chilliad, joyriding with airplanes, and as an amateur boosting duo.
An aspiring "Janitor" for **UwU Café**, Yuno has also been ingratiating himself to Ash through offering ideas and cocaine-concocting-concepts to her in a bid to earn shares in the café for passive income, to which Ash has been guarded about. Eventually, she gave him a Trainee position at the café, a role he took on eagerly even if not diligently.

Ash first met Mel when he was feuding with **Irwin Dundee** over **Emma Gaine**'s affections, where she and **Lenny Large** helped evacuate them from a chaotic shootout at the crypt. After that first encounter, Ash and Mel would meet again occasionally for different operations in the criminal underground. Ash helped stand up for Mel when **Four Tee** was unsure about her relationship with him as her #2 friend when Mel challenged her #1 **Mike Block** to an abortive duel. This incident and the fact that Ash told Mel that he is "neither weak or old" earned Ash respect from Mel.
Ash knows that Mel is chaos incarnate, but that has not stopped her from hanging out with him at any given opportunity, knowing that a fun and interesting (albeit painful) time is forthcoming.

Ash entered into a tumultuous friendship with Jay Jones, a **Ballas** gang member, at a time when **Vagos** and Ballas tensions were high and their respective affiliations dissuaded any open associations with one another. Ash and Jay's friendship was even the catalyst for Ash and **Benji Ramos**' first major fight. The formal departure of Jay from the Ballas helped un-complicate that relationship and allowed the two to hang out more often, whether going fishing or chasing down lizard-people. After a long absence from the city, Jay reconnected with Ash and was hired on at **UwU Café**.

Lenny helped further Ash's instruction into crime in her early days, having her accompany him on house robberies, weed growing, oxycodone runs and eventually even a bank heist. While originally flirtatious with her, he eventually settled into calling her his "step-sister".

Olivia was introduced to Ash while assisting with one of **Lenny Large**'s oxycodone runs, in which she attempted to prevent a dog from mauling Ash to no avail. After that incident, Ash and Olivia hung out frequently for a spell, doing house robberies, bicycle trips and fishing. During one such fishing trip with **Four Tee** and **Maxwell Devitt**, Ash helped pave the way for Olivia to be numbered as Four Tee's friend by donating hers and Max's high valued catch to Olivia, enabling Olivia to win a fishing trial set by Four Tee. As time went on, they have become co-workers at both **Burger Shot** and **Rooster's Rest**.

Even when Ash was in close with the **Vagos** familia, she maintained a good Not-Not-Friendship with Craig, a member of the **Ballas**, whose gleeful crackhead energy endeared him to Ash and many of the other Vagos members. Craig sometimes takes Ash aside to teach her lessons in being a "Gangsta", but would be surprised at Ash's capacity for sudden crazy violence, which frightens him sometimes. With the Vagos exodus, their friendship became more open and they started hanging out more. That proved a point of contention with his standing in the Ballas and he was blooded out. Ash and the rest of **Seaside** gave him refuge and support after that.

Downbad Lil Lexi (or Alexander) is the eternal punching bag and butt of jokes of both **Benji Ramos** and Ash, their constant ribbing on him often leaving him in a pile of sobbing auto-tuned cries. Despite this, Ash and Alex consider themselves great friends, and Ash hired him on in **UwU Café**. A talented music artist, Lil Cap's songs are a delight to Ash, even before she entered the city. Lil Cap also helped remix one of his songs, on Ash's suggestion, into an Anthem for the café as "*UwU Changed Me*".

Ash's sweet local son (by way of **Benji Ramos**).

### Departed Friends †

*“She's like a sister to me... she saw the good in me, even when I was a Block.”*
Despite his association to **Block Gang**, Ash warmed up to Hunter "Wingman" Skye due to his generally affable though quirky and somewhat unpredictable nature. Even after he was kidnapped and burnt alive under her watch, Hunter entrusted to Ash the care of one of his pet rocks named "Charlie", and considered her to be its godmother. Over time, their association grew from "Not-Not Friends", to Ash being like a sister to him. Ash also helped plan and sponsor Hunter's engagement proposal to **Jupiter Adams**. Ash warned Hunter about **Mike Block**'s plan to get him fired from Burger Shot, motivating his departure from the Block Gang. However, his busy life since afforded little chance for them to hangout, and their relationship became a little estranged. Hunter got in trouble as a Hangaround for the **Bondi Boys MC** and was due to be executed by **Irwin Dundee**.

In the moments before his death, Hunter gave his final call to Ash saying his good byes, thanking her for her help along the way and asking her to take care of Charlie one last time. Panicked and distraught, Ash tried to get back in contact with him all the way past his final breath until his death was confirmed by the morgue. There, his last will and testament was given to his close friends and family, Ash included, and Dundee passed along Hunter's prized car to her possession.
*“You know when I first met you I didn't like you at all, not one little bit. And you still turned out to be one of my most favourite people in the whole city... It's not fair, you were just fighting your fate... I'm sorry I didn't protect you... I'm gonna miss you Hunter. Thank you for being my brother. I promise never to forget you. I love you, Hunter...”*

Grandpa Chino was one of the first members of the **Vagos** to consider Ash a part of the familia and has nicknamed her the "*Queen of The Barrio*" (not publicly). He always energy checked Ash, and was sometimes surprised at the type of energy she is capable of, such as when they hunted down **Chatterbox** in the Southside. He worked with her at **Burger Shot** and the shenanigans that went down between them left Ash a bit speechless at first, especially when he vibed with **Hunter Skye** at the "Barrio Shot" register. Chino was the first Vagos member to give input to Ash on her **UwU Café** idea, being present at its inception, which earned him a role as marketing manager in the café. Chino relished his role, for a time acting as a recruiter for the café scouting new hires for Ash to review.
When **Benji Ramos** left the Vagos, Chino stayed behind hoping to enact forceful change from within. When his machinations were uncovered, he was executed and buried in The Barrio. News of his death eventually reached Ash's ears through **Selena Martinez**, and Ash had to regretfully relay it to the rest of the exiled Vagos. When his body was moved to another remote location by the Vagos, Ash accidentally stumbled on his final resting place mere hours after his relocation, planting a weed plant on his grave none the wiser to his final fate.

Cece was Ash's country sister and was the team leader who trained her when she was hired at **Burger Shot**. They became good friends even before Ash was hired. Cece showed great care for her little country sister, helping encourage and guide Ash through activities in which she is hesitant and anxious about. These include Ash's initial jitters about manning the cash register, or going out clothes shopping which Ash dreads. When the both of them were dating **Vagos** members, they also confided in each other in matters regarding their respective relationships. Cece asked Ash if she would become her assistant for **Betta Life Pharmaceuticals**, **Split Side Comedy Club**, and **Under Arted**, in which Ash's job title for all these companies were for a time "Ass. to Cece".

Cece was involved in a lot of the initial formative conversations about **UwU Café** and was also brought along to work at the café when it first started up. Cece left Burger Shot not long after. Cece was a victim of wrong place, wrong time, caught as collateral damage when **Chang Gang** bombed the **Tuner Shop** in a separate dispute. The injuries sustained were too much for Cece and she passed away on **7th December 2021**, with Ash and **Taylor Briggs** by her side in the hospital.

Linda is extremely abrasive with her fellow **Burger Shot** co-workers, always ready to trade barbs with them at any turn. Despite this, beneath that harsh exterior Linda actually cares and is protective of them, especially Ash. Ash reminds Linda of her dead little sister, **Maria**, and Linda has slipped up several times calling Ash by her sister's name. Linda's protection towards Ash extends to being willing to avenge any attacks on her and even taking the fall for Ash. When the both of them were caught poaching on a hunting trip, Linda volunteered to be taken in while Ash got off scott free. Linda was hired on at Ash's **UwU Café**, though she expressed regret taking on an employee slot because the only reason she joined was to watch over Ash. Linda eventually went back to Burger Shot.
Linda was killed in an altercation in prison when she stabbed **Cindy Tipton** after a falling out with her **Mortelle** sisters. Ash was summoned to the hospital as part of her emergency contact list, and was shocked when she heard the news. As they parted one last time, Ash left her some pancakes as a farewell.

## Other Relationships

### with Businesses

Starting up her own restaurant, Ash had her first taste of being an employer instead of an employee. Through the growing pains of starting up a new business, Ash got to know some of the new people she hired on, relying on their help to build up the café while they placed their faith in her as their boss. Soon, she formed a core crew with some of her most trusted employees who she brings along on adventures outside of work.

**UwU Cruwu**

Rex first met Ash as a booth worker for the **Anime Club** and being scammed by her for overpriced sledgehammers. When he saw the UwU Café open on the pier, he immediately bought into the idea and concept of the café and signed up for employment, becoming one of the first workers hired on. Rex fully embraced the ideology of UwU, becoming one of its most dedicated workers and fervent evangelizers, to the point where he was willing to remain downbad for the sake of the restaurant's success. Ash recognized his dedication, often consulting with him directly on business matters, sending bonuses his way and giving him more responsibilities such as fulfilling the daily **Hayes Auto Body Repairs** order.
Eventually he was rewarded with a General Manager position when the café properly opened. Since he started tagging along with Ash on petty crime adventures, he gained an admiration for **Benji Ramos** and aspired to be as good as a getaway driver as him. After Ash pushed Rex to grow as a person, he eventually got invited into **Seaside**, where he grew even more as person, until he left a couple days after Ash left seeing how Seaside was no longer the family he thought it was. Rex and Ash are super close with him especially coming around and hanging out with **Hydra Gang** a bunch. He calls her his "*OG*" and would be considered very close friends with each other.

Antonio was introduced to Ash through **Pablo Loco**, who he was initially helping to get materials for in hope of eventually becoming a **Vagos** Hangaround. After a... *peculiar* introduction to the foods and services provided the café, he saw how the café theme fit his skill set, including his multilingualism in both English and Japanese. Joining up, he proceeded to become one of the café's hardest workers. Seeing this, Ash rewarded him early on by sponsoring a Van for him, his first mode of transport in the city. Antonio did not given up his dream of becoming a member of the Vagos, a matter which he confided to Ash, but he promised to dedicate his time to the café until it has become more established before he would step away and focus his efforts on joining La Familia. Antonio became a Hangaround for a short while before the Vagos exodus happened and he stepped away with them. Since then he has redoubled his efforts at the café and given his loyalty to the family of ex-Vagos, **Seaside**.

A troubled teen with a negligent mother (**Sofia Castellano**) and a brother (**Jimmy Yougman**) who overshadows his presence. Forced to sell cocaine on the streets, Timmy met Ash on one such sale. Timmy got to know the UwU Crew further through their post-tsunami apartment dance ritual and started hanging out with them more. Timmy eventually asked Ash if he could be employed at the café, to which Ash was initially reluctant to because of his age, but changed her stance after she saw how hard he worked when she brought the child to the mines. Ash took pity on Timmy's broken background and tried to help him find the family he lacked, even taking small comfort when **Grove Street Families** adopted him as a Hangaround for a spell. Timmy in turn is grateful for the level of care and concern she showed him that none of his other parental figures ever gave. Timmy joined **Seaside**, but was then removed from Seaside several months later due to him not fitting the way Seaside was going. He left the city for a couple of months, but came back for a day and found out Ash left Seaside and joined Hydra. Not as close as they were, but seem to be working on a friendship once again.

**Friends from Hayes**

The main manager and current owner of Hayes, ShaneO quickly grew a rapport with Ash as a fellow Australian once she was hired on at Hayes, helping show the ropes to her about the place. During one misunderstanding over banter, ShaneO temporarily fired Ash but they quickly resolved it, rehiring her back at Hayes. Since then, their friendship has only grown, and the pair often hang out outside of Hayes and do sanitation runs together. Ash found a mentor in ShaneO on how to handle business in Los Santos and ShaneO was happy to have someone to have casual talks on business with. The friendship extends to their business dealings, with Hayes and **UwU Café** having close business ties, and ShaneO being very proud of Ash starting up her own business.
Even after leaving **Seaside**, ShaneO and Ash seem to still be on good terms.

**Former Friends from Hayes**

Pez harboured a not-so-secret unrequited crush on Ash. This resulted in him hiring Ash on as "Mega Senior Janitor" at Hayes and subsequently training her up to be a full Mechanic. Pez has made several playful advances on Ash. On her birthday, he hosted a special gallery exhibit featuring art of Ash and specially doctored couple photos replacing **Benji Ramos** with Pez. This ended with him being shot in the head by Benji. The next day, Pez teased Ash together with **Irwin Dundee**, going along with a charade that her birthday locket was lost and offering to replace it with a "PASH" locket. This also ended with Pez in the hospital.
Despite his crush, Pez knows when to put his feelings on hold especially when faced with pressing matters such as dealing with Dundee's disappearance. In recent times he has largely put his crush aside and maintained being good friends with Ash, even being hired by her at **UwU Café** starting as a Trainee with promises of promoting him to a special role.

**Friends from Burger Shot**

Taylor Briggs ("Spaceboy" or "Dildo") is one of Ash's closest friends in Burger Shot. Their friendship started with mockery where Spaceboy kept on teasing Ash about having a "boyfrieeeend". Ash told on him to **Benji Ramos**, but Benji approved of this behaviour and encouraged Taylor to continue. Becoming good friends after going through many adventures, Ash also encouraged Taylor to buy a house close to hers so they could be neighbours too.
Taylor helps protect Ash when needed, shooting down Mike Block several times for her safety and even assisting her in evading Chang Gang several times. Taylor was hired at and helped Ash open up her **UwU Café** business, quitting Burger Shot afterwards.

**Former Friends from Burger Shot**

James Barnes, commonly known as "Bucky", is a mute character who is extremely loyal to the former couple **Kitty Dream** and **Raymond Romanov**. Kitty, being a good friend of Ash, made Ash a VIP and so Bucky follows and protects Ash as well. Because **Benji Ramos** was Ash's partner, Bucky also followed Benji's orders and was ready to shoot for the couple as well. Whenever Kitty or Raymond were not around, Bucky made it his mission to protect Ash from the people who tried to hurt or kidnap her, but is not beyond being playful or cheeky with her, subjecting her to multiple pranks. Ash, Benji and Bucky went many adventures together as a sort-of family unit. Bucky was hired for Ash's **UwU Café** business for a while. However, their relationship has been strained by Bucky's increasingly erratic violence against others and loyalty to Burger Shot. Eventually, the two drifted apart.

### with Police Officers

Ziggy is a Game Warden for the **SASPR** that Ash met after getting arrested for the first time. Greatly flustered by her mental gymnastics in that initial encounter, he let her go without any charges. Since then, he helped her after she got into an accident and couldn't crawl out of the crashed car.
Ziggy seems very troubled by Ash and her escapades. Some say he has gone mad from interacting with her, having once attacked her and her friends on a quad bike. Ash is still very fond of him, all things considered, looking forward to future encounters with him and never failing to call him her "favourite Green Power Ranger" or "Step-Ranger" at every available turn, causing him great embarrassment.

Matthew Espinoz is a Deputy Marshall for the **CPD**. He was the arresting officer for Ash's second robbery, Matthew and Ash engaged in a friendly debate on the means of using and holding a weapon (which somehow involved tampons), resulting in him cutting her time to 33 months. Although Matthew didn't intend to remove her gun license due to the incident, it was taken mysteriously. Since then Matthew has tried to assist Ash in getting license back to make it right.
Matthew has since always checked in with Ash from time to time to ensure Ash's wellbeing or to offer skydiving sessions. Ash considers him her favourite officer. Mathew even trusts Ash enough to loan out his GTR to her or giving her permission to use PD equipment, such as tasers and flashlights.

Tony Andrews is a Deputy Commissioner of the **SASP**. Taking pity to her frequent plights, Andrews has given Ash clean guns to protect herself after hearing how much she has been in danger. He was also the one who took off the **Vagos** tag off her MDW after **Randy Wrangler** placed it there. Ash is very appreciative of the kindness and help he has shown her and for a while placed great trust with him... until **Irwin Dundee**'s disappearance revealed another darker side of him.

## Complicated Relationships

### with Individuals

*“The day I stop worrying for you is the day you should start worrying, Four Tee...”*
Ash met 4T on a fishing trip with **Olivia Harvey** and **Maxwell Devitt** . Ash felt nervous around her, but couldn't shake off the instinct to "mother" 4T and to be friendly and protective of her, understanding that her warped worldview was a product of an underdeveloped upbringing. As those initial weeks went on, Ash's repeated acts of kindness to 4T allowed a degree of trust to be established between the two and they grew close. Ash considered her a friend even if she did not want to be part of 4T's number system. 4T also started calling Ash "Ketchup Lady".

Their "friendship" dramatically changed during several fateful encounters with **Mike Block**, who 4T sided with as her number #1 friend, against Ash and her respective friends including **Benji Ramos**. The kidnappings, shootings and betrayals that followed shattered their belief in each other, and their relationship divebombed to the point where Ash declared that she has stopped caring about 4T and wants nothing to do with her.
After several weeks of frosty, standoffish encounters, the ice between the two thawed off a bit but still vacillated between cordial and confrontational. Their relationship took another hit during the search for **Irwin Dundee** when 4T felt like Ash was using her for information on her involvement in the incident. She tore apart a Teddy Bear that Ash just gifted her and left her mulling on a beach. Once again they were afraid of confronting one another for a while. Slowly, 4T forgave Ash and accepted back the mended Teddy Bear when Ash tried to gift it back to her in secret.

Ash and 4T still appear to care for each other, but as long as their respective circles of friends have conflict with one another, an air of distrust will underscore their feelings and any goodwill earned can evaporate in an instant. Time will tell where their relationship will go in the future.
*“... but I don't think I'm ever going to stop!”* — Ash

Peanut tried to take revenge on Ash for being part of an attempted ambush on him by the **Block Gang**. He snuck up on her in a Benny's and stabbed her in the back with a knife. Thanks to **Raymond Romanov**, Ash managed to get out of the situation alive. While Ash held on to hostilities with him for a while, after they both ended up as colleagues at the **Burger Shot**, they got to know each other better and are now on friendly terms.

Alleged and self-proclaimed "*Super Terrorist*", Ash sided with her **Burger Shot** Gang when Pilbis had a major falling out with the establishment and terminated his job there. As a result, Ash has been a victim of some of his attacks on the Burger Shot, including an incident where she was kidnapped, shot, and left to die on Mount Chilliad with **Kenneth "Ken-sama" Foreman**. On another day, after a (failed) rescue attempt where Pilbis handlifted a party of more than 10 downed people including Ash off the Mountain, she thought a little better of him. Pilbis eventually ceased his infractions on Burger Shot, and Ash and Pilbis are at peace with one another.

A crazed killer clown with many disguises and voices. Chatterbox kidnapped Ash several times as collateral while pursuing vendettas against other people. Once as part of an elaborate mind game against Cadet **Patrick Downing**. The other times when he was targeting **Rooster's Rest** employees. In these cases, Chatterbox did not intend to harm Ash, but serve as a messenger to his intended targets. In one of these kidnappings Ash did get hurt, when she caught bullets from her would-be rescuers **Juan Carlos "Flippy" Hernandez** and **Mari Posa**, who told off Chatterbox from targeting Ash ever again. In brief encounters several weeks later, Chatterbox tried to reassure Ash that he had no beef with her, but Ash was still unnerved, unsure due to his unstable nature.
When **Bondi Boys MC** and the **Vagos** went to war, as an associate of the former, Chatterbox tried to investigate the "Piss Gang", ending up in The Barrio in one of his disguises. **Chino Gonzalez** and Ash came across him, with Ash managing to penetrate his disguise and the two of them gave pursuit. Ash found him hiding in **Ballas** territory and shot him up when he did not comply to her threats, delivering a few additional beatings on behalf of **Lang Buddha**. This began his personal vendetta against the "Vagoose" and Ash specifically. He tried and failed to get a news crew to film fake attacks by "Ash" and the "Vagos". Performing a drive-by shooting of Ash at the **Burger Shot** which grazed her, he seemed satisfied that he got an eye for an eye.
Later encounters between Ash and Chatterbox have been very cordial, with the both of them bonding over a shared love of animals and Chatterbox wanting to turn a new leaf. Ash is very understanding of his child-like personality, and tries to accommodate his distaste for swearing when he is around.

A hardass cop with a vendetta against the **Vagos**, Wrangler arrested Ash on the scene of **Benji Ramos**' kidnapping where she was found GSR positive after discharging rounds on **Sai Carter**'s gang. Ash spent several hours in the processing cells at **MRPD** and when interrogated, Wrangler quickly latched onto a slip up by Ash that she retrieved a gun from her apartments when she did not have a weapon's license. Under the suspicion of weapons trafficking, he threatened her with a 24 hour investigative hold and "the 9s". Ash relented to his threats and a raid of her places of residence was conducted, without obtaining a Judge's approval. It turned up nothing incriminating (and four pairs of stolen shoes in her beachfront house). Frustrated by this, Wrangler slapped an attempted first degree murder charge on her after initially considering a gang related violence charge believing that she was a Vagos. They let her go for time served, but Wrangler still tagged Ash as a Vagos in the MDW. Since then, Ash herself tagged Wrangler as one of the major bad eggs in the PD, and it soured her opinion on cops in general.
In a separate incident during a **Burger Shot** "Shoe-t Out" event, Ash ran along with the crowd thinking it was part of the shenanigans but Wrangler interpreted as dipping after a robbery and he tried to chase them down, the incident escalating when he came under vehicular attack by other parties. Returning to the scene later, Wrangler scooped up suspects, zeroing in on people associated with the Vagos including Ash. While Ash cooperated with him on the scene, Wrangler arrested her for "Resisting Arrest" due to the earlier incident. When Ash and Reggie brought the charge to a Bench Trial, Wrangler downgraded the charge to "Disobeying a Peace Officer" beforehand, and Ash did not manage to successfully dispute that charge.
With Wrangler becoming a fan of **UwU Café** food, the relationship between Randy and Ash has become much friendlier, more akin to that of a loyal customer and business owner. Ash was a keen supporter of Wrangler's workplace parole programme as well.

**Relationships Affected**

*“I usually don’t like Demons...”*
Early in Ash's time in the city, Ash and Curtis were set up on a date by their mutual friend **Cheddar**. The two became best friends spending time together via racing, learning how to drive, and carefree adventures. Trusting and having each other’s backs even when it came to things like Curtis’s alter ego, the "Demon of Los Santos". Curtis even hired Ash early on into his weapon smithing business before it started running.
Believing in the strength of their friendship, Ash naively thought that she would be safe even if their respective families, the Vagos and CG, went to war. That all changed after a misunderstanding between Ash and CG members **Randy Bullet** and Curtis at **Burger Shot**. Ash carried Randy after playfully “banning” them from the restaurant, not realizing that Vagos members were rolling up to attack outside, resulting in both CG members getting shot up.
What was supposed to be a funny joke ended up breaking the friendship with Curtis turning a blind eye as CG hunted down Ash again and again after this incident. After the war, Curtis changed Ash's position in his company to "dead to me" and later fired her. Ash felt conflicted knowing that she made the right choice cutting him out of her life but hated that circumstances had to bring them to this state.
Months went past as they both refused to reach out to each other. Curtis finally broke the silence after one chance encounter on the street with Ash, asking if she could find it in her heart to forgive him so they could go on adventures again. Small interactions began popping up as Ash told him about buying her first car and how far she's come with her driving. One day Curtis called her up out of boredom, and Ash finally got the chance to show him the building for the café.

Ash and Curtis' friendship isn't the same as it once was, with Ash now knowing that family came before friendship for Curtis. With a better understanding of how families worked in Los Santos, Ash couldn't stay mad at him since it was just his nature, just as it was with Ash and her family. In their time apart, Ash admitted that she missed her friendship with Curtis but was scared to give him that level of trust again. Now that they were on the mend again, she decided that she wouldn't let such trust be a cause for getting herself hurt again.
For a while, Curtis's new side project was to make Ash and Randy become best of friends.
*“But I guess you are alright...”*

Anto made friends with Ash early on, appreciating her feistiness and tastes in movies. He was always finding opportunities to hang out with her. Using his connections, he helped supply Ash with handcuffs to gift to **Benji Ramos**. Even after a period where they were apart due to being them busy with their respective business, Anto trusted her enough to ask her to be the CEO of his business. During the Vagos-CG war, Anto warned Ash to be careful and insisted that he did not want her involved, but was forced into events that led to Ash being sniped by **Randy Bullet** through a **Burger Shot** window at the pier. After this incident, Ash called Anto to let him know to never contact her again, a call that struck him deep emotionally. In recent times Ash has admitted that she missed her friendship with Anto but is scared to give him the that level of trust again.

Ash was involved in a misunderstanding with Randy and **Curtis Swoleroid** at **Burger Shot**. Ash was carrying Randy after playfully "banning" them from the restaurant, not realizing that **Vagos** members **Mike Smoore**, **Carlos Loco**, and **Miguel Guerrero** were setting up an attack outside resulting in both CG members getting shot up.
Thinking that Ash had delivered him to the Vagos to be attacked, Randy swore that he would hunt Ash down for revenge, especially when Ash refused to pay $10K in compensation. For the next 3-4 days, CG actively hunted for Ash with all bets off, involving her friends beyond just the Vagos sphere.
After the war concluded, Randy would continue to make patronizing remarks to Ash claiming he was her best friend, which she initially responded with disgust and later with fake acceptance under the recommendation of **Chino Gonzalez**.
When CG and the Vagos started another round of hostilities not long after, Randy initiated a condescending conversation at the apartments with Ash demanding that Ash sever her ties with the Vagos. When she did not comply, Randy gave the go ahead for Ash to be shot down, making her one of the first casualties of the conflict which only lasted one day.
When competing in **Squid Game**, Ash finally got a small victory against Randy by poisoning him. Although he got her back shortly afterwards making it even, Ash was happy and has asked **Hutch Hutcherson** to shoot Randy's dodo bird.
With Ash learning to get along with CG, Ash and Randy have had a friendly relationship since, and Ash has playfully claimed him as one her best friends.

**Relationships Affected**

Shelly is the one who hired Ash for the Burger Shot. Despite Ash being anxious and nervous during the interview, she saw Ash's potential from her answers and decided to hire her. Shelly placed a great deal of trust in Ash, over her work ethic and especially after an incident where they were both kidnapped by **Mike Block** and **Four Tee** where Ash refused to betray Shelly over **Benji Ramos**. While Shelly had great respect for Ash's abilities as a worker, her continued rivalry with **Lang Buddha** and the **Rooster's Rest**, where Ash was employed, by extension has hindered Ash's prospects for promotion. This has led to Ash being demotivated about her job at Burger Shot and she started to lose faith in Shelly's leadership. Violent incidents with the Vagos at Burger Shot, the firing of **Sherry Paie**, and the activities of the **International Burger Society** have also further strained their relationship.

Ash met Jeffrey Price and his father, **Freddy Price**, in her early criminal days where they became associates in the underground weed growing business alongside **Lenny Large**. Their friendship continued when Ash joined up with Burger Shot and they became mutual colleagues. Jeffrey harboured a dislike for the **Vagos** after an incident where he was beat up for disrespecting **Arush Patel "Speedy" Santana**.
Despite this, Jeffrey was respectful of Ash's talents at Burger Shot, even proposing to Shelly to overlook Ash's position at **Rooster's Rest** and promote her to Team Leader. However, he knows he can't fully trust her because of her association with the Vagos and has become more guarded around her. Ash herself is also wary of him since that initial Speedy incident, perceiving that he does not like her. His passive aggressive attitude towards **UwU Café** further deepened Ash's distrust of him.

Oki was one of Ash's best friends. They spent a lot of time with each other even outside of Burger Shot, including attending the **Wu Chang Records** party to support **Carlos "Carlitos" Loco**, Burger Shot team bonding and rescue missions up Mount Chilliad, and the planning and setup for **Hunter Skye**'s engagement event. Oki showed many times how much she cared for Ash especially when Ash felt down when **Mike Block** was terrorizing Burger Shot. Ash was disappointed when she perceived that Oki was siding with management with regards to the decision not to promote her because of her job at the Roosters. Oki also lost faith in Ash, taken aback by her recent confrontational tone and fearing that Ash would report the problems around Burger Shot to other parties. With Ash leaving Burger Shot and further violent encounters with Vagos, Oki regretfully decided to let go of her friendship with Ash.

Kitty Dream is another Burger Shot employee who Ash treated as her very good friend. They spent a lot of their time together on and off Burger Shot, working as fellow colleagues at **Rooster's Rest** or going on adventures together like going up to Mount Chilliad on a biking trip. Because Kitty cares for Ash, as **James "Bucky" Barnes**'s high command, Kitty gave an order that Bucky to protect Ash as well. Kitty and her ex-boyfriend, **Raymond Romanov**, also bought a house near the beach close to her and **Benji Ramos**' house, and they became trusted neighbours to each other. Their mutual dissatisfaction with Burger Shot management decisions motivated the both of them to start a **UwU Café** together. However, they soon learnt that friendship and business do not tend to mix well...

### Seaside

* ●

Since making her relationship with **Benji Ramos** official while he was still Vice El-Jefe of the **Vagos**, Ash formed individual friendships with many of the members of the Vagos. Although Ash was not a Vago herself, several of the Vagos considered Ash to be familia. Ash cared for many of the Vagos, often providing them with food, gifts, a listening ear, and even offering suggestions/advice when requested. Because of her innate desire to take care of the people she loves, many of the Vagos considered Ash to be the "Mother of the Vagos", and often joked that she is the "shadow leader" of the Vagos. When Benji left the Vagos and Ash was excommunicated, some followed them in exile exiting the gang under a hail of violence. Reuniting in the outside world no longer under the yellow bandana, they chose to band together and became closer than ever, working together as a family unit named **Seaside**.
After a bunch of growing pains between Ash and Seaside, Ash finally really saw how badly she was being treated after getting Drug Trafficking with **Hydra Gang** on **3rd October 2022**. She realized that Benji really didn't have her back even though she had his fully and no longer could accept not being backed by him. Ash called a meeting, but it ended up getting canceled, so she called a second meeting where many things were discussed. Ash wanting to hear the people who had a problem with her to finally speak up only for those people to continue staying quiet and not admitting to it. She decided to leave Seaside, dropping her flag and chain to KJ and leaving Playa Vista.
With Ash leaving, Seaside started to assume she left them in order to join Hydra, which wasn't true. This started bringing a divide between Ash and the rest of Seaside putting them on not so good terms anymore. A group she once called "*family*", not a family anymore.
**Relationships Affected**

After an incident in prison, Ash overheard **Nicholas Simone** and Benji talking and in the talk she heard Nick tell Benji that Ash was "dead" to him. Upon not hearing Benji instantly defend her like she would expect a leader to do for his second-in-command, became angry and upset at the fact that in reality Benji really never had her back like she had his.
With this became the crumbling reality that their friendship wasn't real and the fact that Benji no longer supported her as his second-in-command any longer. She decided to eventually leave Seaside and since then Benji and Ash haven't spoken.
For **Bash Relationship** details, see: **Relationship with Benji Ramos**.

Ash and KJ have a brother-sister relationship that quickly blossomed after they were introduced to each other. They took turns attempting to steal each others shoes and he was her first successful robbery in front of **Benji Ramos**. KJ has remarked on Ash's potential to scam anyone into a deal with her innocent voice and demeanor. Working together with Ash at **Burger Shot** as Vagos security allowed him to be able to take care of her should she need him, even though she wants to defend herself.
KJ is one of the first to consider Ash a part of the familia, if people messed with Ash it's the same as messing with Benji. For Ash's birthday, KJ gifted her a pair of Air Vagos since she is very much the Mother of the gang. While he knows not to involve her too much in the family business out of consideration of her safety, he does drop snippets of information to Ash about what they do so she is not completely in the dark. KJ left the Vagos out of loyalty to Benji, and now has more time building up the brother-sister relationship he has with Ash.

The Vagos' former lawyer. Ash met Reggie when he was defending **Benji Ramos** for a case and when he assisted her in filing a restraining order against **Outto-Tune Tyrone** on the insistence of Benji. She asked for him to be her lawyer when she got arrested after rescuing Benji and he has been helping her with her non-guilty plea to first degree murder charges.
Reggie inducted Ash into his newly formed **Law Gang** group as an OG member and Senior Capitán. Reggie also helps with the legal matters surrounding **Bash Talent Agency**.
Ash was deeply affected when Reggie ended up in the ICU, and while she was disturbed by his dark turn upon his recovery she has offered him her help where she is able to. She was glad that Reggie found his place in the Vagos familia officially as Asesor and their resident Meth El Cheffe. Reggie left the Vagos out of loyalty to KJ. Though he was forced to forget his time in the Vagos, Reggie still remembers his close friendship with Ash and greatly prizes the trust they have in each other.
With Ash becoming the target of retaliations from gangs or serial killers related to his own investigations, Reggie has become very protective of Ash as one of his closest friends, even offering her his first hug when she went into the ICU unconscious. Returning to being a lawyer, Reggie made Ash his paralegal, allowing her to accompany him on visitations.

A friendly soldato that Ash quickly made friends with, Chico enjoys spending time with her and often brings her for a ride along. Unfortunately due to a bad ticket, Chico was unable to participate in the war with **Chang Gang**. It wasn't until after that he learned the damage that had been done to Ash when she had a panic attack when **Vultur Lé Culturé** was mentioned.
A few days later, he asked her to open up to him about what actually happened, Ash revealed the events of her being hunted by **Randy Bullet** and **Ramee El-Rahman** for sport. Chico told Ash that he wished that he could have protected her as she is like a little sister to him, and that has translated to him being a regular guardian for her. Due to the regularity in which they hangout, Chico has been very involved in the day to day operations of **UwU Café** in which he holds a position, such as helping in stocking up. Chico left the Vagos out of loyalty to Reggie.

### Vagos

**Relationships Affected**

As the adopted son of **Benji Ramos**, Carlitos considered Ash as his mother even before Ash and Benji made their relationship official, picking Ash over his previous mother **Molly Minaj**. Ash gave him a weekly allowance which has been between $500-$2000. Carlos is extremely protective of Ash, he often talks about how much he hated not being able to avenge Ash to his standards. He is often very childish and begs for his allowance early each week before it's due. His brash impulsive actions which land him in numerous quarrels with his fellow Vagos or others are a continued source of headaches for Ash. Nevertheless, mother and son were very supportive of each other's endeavours. With the Vagos exodus and the wall of silence between those who left and those who stayed behind, Ash has not been able to talk it through with her son, but still sent him an allowance regardless. After Carlitos created a spiteful diss track targeting those who left, Ash was disappointed in her son's behaviour and disowned him.

Raymundo considers Ash his sister. He has protected Ash several times and at one point of time could be considered her personal bodyguard in the Vagos. He went with her when she worked at Apex Security and was the one who took action at **Outto-Tune Tyrone**'s concert. Ash goes to him for his opinions and advice regarding **Benji Ramos** and her relationship, much to his chagrin when she delves into beyond PG-13 territory. One of their usual routines involves patrolling around the streets playing as cops as part of the Ketchup Ortiz Police Department (**KOPD**). After the Vagos exodus, Raymundo still considers Ash his Hermana and calls her from time to time.

Santi was the first Vagos member to ever hug Ash and yes that is including her boyfriend. Santi and Ash might not be as close with one another as some other members but that didn't stop Ash from beating up Santi's brother for flipping Santi off. After the Vagos exodus, Santi's interactions with Ash though brief are still cordial and friendly.

At the moment the lone Chula gangster of Vagos, Vero quickly took a liking to Ash when they first met. Ash often is the one she goes to for the emotional support when she needs it. She made Ash a bride's maid for her wedding, Vero is very grateful for Ash's counsel when she was almost ready to give up on her relationship with **Miguel Guerrero**.
After the Vagos exodus, Vero still cares for Ash and greatly missed seeing her.

A Vagos Soldato, Pablo met Ash when he was just a Vagos Hangaround. In those days, Pablo amused Ash and her friends with his musical talents and hyperactive energy. Pablo's mouth used to outpace his brain, his penchant for action before thought giving Ash cause for concern. He is always on the look out for new businesses and connections in the city including trying to land a job at Burger Shot at all costs, subjecting him to the mercy of Ash and **Sherry Paie**'s cruel and unusual tricks. He started up up his own Lottery business, tapping Ash's experience for advice and help in doing up the business proposal and eventually hiring her as CEO for the **Pablo Lotto**. Pablo did not take away Ash's position after the Vagos exodus and still meets and talks to her in secret, despite the dire orders forbidding it.

A soldato of the Vagos that drives around Ash during the late hours. Originally Ash didn't like him as he made off colour comments about Ash hanging out with **Benji Ramos**, however during the first war with CG, Mike made an effort to take care of Ash while he was the sole Vagos around. When the war ended he still took the time to hang out and chill with her if she was bored. These ride alongs often include teasing conversations about Benji and Ash regarding intimacy with Ash's invisibility gift, advice about Mike's ever complicated relationship with **Sarah**, and trolling about Los Santos. Mike has admitted to seeing her as both a mother figure and a little sister due to her kind and giving nature to the whole gang. Since **Arush Patel "Speedy" Santana** "adopted" Ash, Mike has been over the moon about Ash being his sister.
When Ash found out from Benji that Mike lied to him Ash was at a loss for how to act. She had loaned him money and he requested the Ash buy him GNE like how she did for Benji. After finding this out Ash distanced herself from Mike as a response supporting Benji as her significant other. Mike took offense to this and grew cold immediately, feeling betrayed that she would let Benji colour her view on their friendship. Ash from that moment wasn't considered apart of "*La Familia*", and she saw probably what was the real Mike. Within the week, Ash quickly became annoyed with Mike's whining and every action. The more she saw Mike's inflated ego the more she was disgusted in who she thought as a brother.
One night after Mike's punishment from Benji, Mike heard from a Prospect that Ash had been hired to work at the mines. Ash told him through **Frank Junior Smith|Frank Junior Smith** to call her when he called her with a heated tone, she was terrified that she did something wrong and later went to Benji to clarify if she was okay. Later in the car Benji brings up Mike needs stop treating Ash badly as he has heard some things this was backed by **Joaquin "JJ" Jimenes**. This makes her nervous as she doesn't like causing trouble, running off to grab golf balls letting the two talk. When Benji updates Ash about the conversation with Mike. She is confused because he was actually mad but Mike said the opposite to Benji's face. This the straw that breaks the camel's back.
Mike was forced out of the Vagos in blood by Speedy due to an infraction with **Chino Gonzalez**. He kept Ash as an emergency contact, and Ash was the only one who visited him in ICU. With Mike still heavily involved in Speedy's and **Maldini's** business, Ash has kept him at arm's length since.

## Romantic Relationships

### Previous Partners

Benji Ramos was a famous **Vagos** member Ash met after he picked her up from a break-in she committed with **Irwin Dundee** her first day in the city. Ever since their first meeting and conversation, he continuously flirted with her and even called her his "future ex-wife" which transitioned to "future wife" as Ash noted that they do not need to get divorced. They robbed a bank and went to jail together after failing to escape.
Ash agreed to be his CEO as the legally "*clean front*" of the business and he named the talent agency **Bash Talent Agency**, a mix of his and Ash's names. While trapped in Dundee's Relationship Therapy, they finally admitted to each other they had feelings and began officially dating on **18th April 2021**. The Vagos members have made remarks on how differently Benji acts and treats Ash from his usual cat-calling ways. He worries over Ash's good nature since she too nice at times and tries to find ways to solve issues without violence. Ash has bought a house along the beach where they lived together.
The two once shared a ride or die connection which changed over time. They broke up on **7th September 2022**, which ended very mutually and wanted to make sure to stay best friends after the fact, but after Ash was arrested for drug trafficking with several members of **Hydra Gang**, her eyes were opened to the fact that her unconditional support was not reciprocated, and they haven’t spoken since her departure from **Seaside**.
**Notable Events**

As Benji was doing his meeting with the Vagos, Ash hang around The Barrio taking to Cousin who had brain damage at the time. **Molly Minaj** rolled in The Barrio as she openly tells Ash that she likes her. Molly also revealed the true business of the Vagos in the taco truck which Ash thought that she should not know about that information.

Hearing both sides of the story, Dundee decided they needed couple’s therapy. He drove them to Billabong and forced them to get out of the car and into a room where he locks them up till they talk it out. After a long and silent moment inside the room, Ash starts to cry and Benji goes to comfort her. They finally started talking about what happened and how they both felt about it. Ash was worried that Benji would leave her because of what happened and was sorry she did that. Benji explains to Ash he was only disappointed, and he can only be mad at her for a certain period of time and everything will be okay. Benji explains to her that the business isn’t as important compared to Ash. In the end, they both made up after having a heartfelt moment. Benji and Ash tried to get out of the locked room as Ash threatens to beat Dundee up but Dundee was not done yet. He was insinuating that there is something more to be told by Ash and this gets her riled up. Ash tries to find a loophole and saying that she just wanted to join the Vagos but she cannot. Benji takes the hint from Dundee who was saying that Ash wants to join someone in Vagos. Benji then decided it was time to ask Ash out and finally officially are known as girlfriend and boyfriend.

Benji, Ash, and **Leah** drives to the location where OTT concert was being held. Many Vagos join in sitting around them. Concert begins with many security walking around and also cops being there. He starts singing Cream pie, and many people were dancing to the music being played. After the first song OTT said they are welcome to come closer to the stages and many gotten closer as some Vagos watches from the back and in the front. He sings a song about the Vagos and many more songs. During this time Benji is telling Chino to get ready to take down OTT, giving him orders on what to do next. As he started to sing the song, he wrote for Ash named it Don’t tell Benji. Chino ran up to the stage and stabbing him once before running away. This leads the cops away from the concert which later on Benji runs up to the front and ask Raymundo if he is ready to pop OTT in the head. He gives the order to shot as Benji walks away slowly from the shooting as if nothing had happened. As they were driving away; Benji Tweets out:

*“Great song OTT, loved the end of the song but I think someone just told you instead #LETMEKNOW”*
Ash didn't know how to really handle having OTT write a song for her. She and Benji have a discussion about what happened. Ash unsure about if Benji's method was appropriate since she is a pacifist. Benji doubled down on how much he doesn't want to have to control her but believes Ash's innocence leads her to not seeing potential danger.

Benji called Ash in a cold-tone to tell her what happened she tries to explain it but Benji dismisses it and said okay and hang up. Ash tries to call him again but he did not answer, when he did she was already furious because she was not able to explain herself properly. Ash was picked up by Benji and she then tries to explain herself completely to him as they were driving around. The conversation gets heated because Ash thinks she did the right thing and Benji thinks she do not understand what is going on around her. Multiple "shut the fuck up"s after Benji gets more livid and dares her to say it one more time and she did. Benji left her on the side of the road, leaving Ash alone to run to the city. Both gets alone time, Lenny then called Ash and she explained to him what happened while running back to the city. While Benji is on the side of the road, thinking whether or not he calls to pick her up.
In the end, he decided to call her and learned that she was already running on the Southside. He picks her up from the train tracks and drives to the Russian Docks where they try to talk about the situation in a more calmed out manner. Benji explains to Ash calmly how the gang world works and ends with them making up and promised to work things out together slowly.

**Zoog "Kitty" Volkov Martinez** picked Ash up from the hospital and goes to look for Benji. As soon as she got out, she called Chino and told him that Sai mentioned the Vinewood sign in one of his threats before and they decided to check there. Kitty and Ash was going to the sign and Chino was only still in Grapeseed. They indeed find Sai, his two friends, and Benji there. Ash called Chino to assure them that they were there and let him know that they will quickly go back to the apartments for Ash to grab her old gun from before she lost her license. Then they went to rescue Benji.
Kitty and Ash came driving straight in while Chino came from the mountain. Sai and his friends started shooting immediately at them while Sai and Benji is at the top of the sign. Benji tries to push Sai off the letter but gets shot instead. Sai's gang was mowed down by Ash's party in no time. They picked up a downed Benji and headed to Grandma's. After getting Benji back up, Ash hugs Benji as she was really worried for his safety and Benji finally reciprocates her hug for the first time as he was thankful for the effort she put in. Chino and Benji remark what a good job Ash did from finding him to shooting for him. Afterwards, they decided (despite Ash's objection) to head back for Sai and his friends to get back the gun Benji had and cut off Sai's left nut as per Speedy's request. However, once they arrived at the sign the police also rolled through and everybody but Benji was arrested.
While in jail, Benji called **Reggie Might**, a trusted lawyer, to help out Ash. Reggie represented Ash and **Randy Wrangler** interrogated her. Ash slipped up and mentioned getting her gun from her apartment, which made Wrangler write a warrant to raid her apartment. No judges were available at the time and so Wrangler threatened to hold Ash for 24 hours until a judge became available unless he let her raid her apartment and Ash caved in. Other than a briefcase with $20K there was nothing of note in her apartment. Then, Wrangler was not satisfied with what he found and then again threatened to hold her for 24 hours unless he let her raid her house and she agreed. There were four pairs of shoes in the house. A judge would later reject the warrant.
Kitty (Zoog) and Chino were released without charges. Sai pleaded guilty to gang related shooting. Ash was charged with attempted first degree murder and pleaded not guilty. Ash was also tagged as a Vagos. Nobody was charged for shooting Ash in the head. While waiting for her day in court, Ash decided that while she had faith her case would be won, she would prefer to drop the case and pursue an expungement.

It was tsunami time so they agree to meet at Grandma's which is where they were heading. Benji tells Chino]] to put on the bat signal and he responds that they don't need it for these guys. Benji wants three groups in constant rotation clapping these idiots. Chino says he hopes they don't think they can make this right. Raymond shows up and is upset that Dundee's boy shot at the Manor. Dundee is freaking  out because he knows that *his* guy messed up. This is not a good situation for the BBMC. One, the Vagos are angry because their Vice El Jefe, Capitan, and Ash were shot while they were talking things out. Two, they shot at Clean Manor which is neutral ground so there is a potential issue with Lang and the **Cleanbois**. Dundee and Raymond go off and leave all three on the ground.
Dundee and Raymond come back to help get them up. Dundee asks that they don't run but they talk first. Benji gives him 5 minutes. Dundee admits what Chain did was dumb and shouldn't have done it at the Manor. He thinks Benji would have shot if the situation was reversed. Chino starts chuckling. Dundee asks him why and Chino asks if he realizes that the guy shot down two high ranking Vagos. Dundee explains that he had told everyone in the club to make sure the BBMC name was respected. In Dundee's eyes, Chain was doing what he was told.
Benji's response is to call **Junior Diaz** and tell him to get the boys ready. There is no respect given to Prospects of any gang. Dundee says he will take the punishment for the Prospect because he was following his orders. Benji reminds Dundee that he was leaving but Dundee called him back to show off to his boy that he would defend him. He explodes at the respect thing. All of the Vagos leave the BBMC boys alone because of their friendship. Dundee stresses that the guy was doing the wrong thing but he thought he was doing the right thing. Chino isn't buying it. Benji says that he is mostly angry because his girl got shot. Dundee says that he agrees (he yelled at the guy not Ash during the fight) but says she shot first. Being Dundee, he then tries to explain he didn't ocean dump them like other gangs would have done. Ash, who has been mostly silent, questions *“but you thought about it?”* Raymond says it was mentioned. Dundee says he wouldn't have done it but it's too late.
They stop to get Ash a gun just in case. (as Dundee stole all three of their guns). Ash says she wishes it wasn't like this but no one really talks cause this is a bad situation. Junior and **Bodhi Mack** are ready to pop off. Benji calls Raymond for AK ammunation. He is in The Barrio because Dundee wants to talk more he agrees to sell Benji two of his four magazines. All he asks is that Benji talk to Dundee until he gets back with them.
Dundee says he accepts he is in the wrong and takes the punishment for his Prospect. The Prospect and the whole gang are asleep... Benji says that he wants the Prospect. The only reason he won't shoot Dundee is because they are friends. Dundee doesn't understand that Benji doesn't have to show anyone respect. The breakdown now is that Dundee wants to teach the Prospect but Benji says it's his job to teach him. Dundee says he gave the go ahead that if Benji continued to talk crap he could harm him. Benji asks why Dundee gave Chain permission to shoot him. Dundee says because he was stupid. He fully admits he was wrong. Benji tells Dundee that he's crazy if he thinks they can end it without him hurting the Prospect. Dundee tries to convince Benji that it will be more effective if he gives out the punishment.
The problem is that none of the BBMC are around or will be around this tsunami. Benji says that this isn't enough. Dundee plays the friend card and Benji reminds him that Dundee gave the order to have him shot. Benji gives the order for Bohdi to shoot Dundee. He does but his gun is terrible so Junior shoots from the roof as well. Ash laments that she wishes it wasn’t this way but understands that the Prospect shouldn't have shot Benji or Chino or herself. Benji lets her know that the BBMC is going to be clapped until he has the Prospect.

Marty goes to sleep so Raymond joins them and they run oxycodone to clean money and get more safe cracking tools. They get two and Benji cleans a lot of money. He had grumbled about having to do oxycodone but it actually wasn't that bad.
Benji is really insistent that Ash do the hack because he wants her to build confidence. He tells her she can hack and dip. She wants to try but doesn't want to mess it up. They get a hostage and she fails it the first time but gets it the second. Everyone but the hostage congratulates her as she dips out. Benji tells her multiple times that he is proud of her.
Captain **Jack Davenport** and another cop show up so there is quite the chase as they leave. The car is stalled at one point and Reggie gets out and gets caught. Raymond stays in and he and Benji eventually escape. Benji calls Ash and learns she has lock picked a Sand King and is on her way back to the city. He meets with the hang arounds in The Barrio, calls Ash again to say good night, and goes to sleep.

### Admirers

Even during her previous relationship, people took a notice to Ash. Working at numerous jobs also exposed her to a lot of new people who often mistake her kindness and cute voice as flirting. Although, Ash thinks that these people are either trying to get to her previous partner or are trolling her.

See: **Don't Tell Benji**

A Sheriff in the PD, Kyle Pred has a reputation for flirting with the women of Los Santos, and it wasn't long before he set his sights on Ash often times expressing his supposed romantic feelings in blunt and direct ways. Whenever Ash talks about another man, especially **Benji Ramos**, he will often berate Ash's choice in men and openly says he wishes that guy to be dead. He also has a toy collecting addiction which Ash helps enable in her capacity as a **Burger Shot** employee, spending all of his money to get a specific toy and failing to do so.
Pred is not above abusing his authority to force Ash into uncomfortable situations, such as taking her on a forced ride-along. Their conversations usually end in them cussing at each other. Ash is also frustrated at his lack for respect for the **Vagos**, and particularly Benji. Especially in the short time Pred lived in The Barrio, Ash altogether has had a change of heart for certain officers like the Sheriff.

## Foes

Despite attempting to befriend everyone she meets, Ash has slowly learnt that in the city of Los Santos, not everyone has her continued wellbeing in mind.

### Individuals

For a long time since meeting each other during an encounter at the criminal fence when they were both new in the city, Raymond was a loyal friend to Ash, trusted neighbours, and even robbed a bank together once. Ray was very protective of Ash having saved her from being killed and robbed on several ocassions, even more so because of her friendship with his then girlfriend **Kitty Dream** and shared stewardship over **James "Bucky" Barnes**.
Ray would take any opportunity to "kidnap" Ash for a chance to hangout and chitchat, and getting advice on his dealings with women as one of his closest platonic female friends. Ash however recognized his sociopathic and self-serving tendencies through his treatment of Kitty and women, prioritization of criminal jobs, and handling of gang matters.
Whatever relationship Ash had with Ray before, everything would come to a devastating head when Ray and his gang, **R.U.S.T**, decided to take a hit on one of the Seaside boys (**Joaquin "JJ" Jimenes**).

Candice was hired by **Robert Spowylamywanowski** as a full-time employee at the **Burger Shot**, where her aggressively bitchy attitude to everyone around her, customer and colleagues alike, immediately earned her enmity with almost all she encountered, including Ash.
Ash was especially worried about the reputation of the Burger Shot after she received several phone calls from concerned customers peeved by her poor customer serviced. When Robert "attempted" to squash the beef between them in an office meeting, Candice's unrelenting attitude earned her a bullet to the head from **Benji Ramos**. Ash eventually adopted a strategy of killing Candice with kindness, matching her unbearable bitchiness with unbearable niceness, which seemed to work while Candice was still in the city.

### Groups

Mike Block antagonized Ash for weeks as he and his crew deemed her a snitch because she was supposed to testify against Mike Block when he robbed **Burger Shot** one time. He video taped and forced Ash to drive a car with an innocent bystander into a gas station. She would go on to tell **Benji Ramos** about the traumatic experience and also deemed that as snitching again. This resulted in Ash getting kidnapped and blown up again.
The vicious cycle repeated itself until the **Vagos** involved themselves and downed Mike a couple times. The experiences have left Ash hating being called a snitch because by definition Ash is just a civilian and is allowed to tell the cops if something bad happened to her. This isn't the last time that Ash would be treated partly as a gangster even though she isn't a a part of an actual gang.
Over time, Ash grew to understand how to handle Mike's warped morality and learnt how to defuse future situations with him and the Blocks.

A Ninja Leader of the Anbu Black Cocks who made an enemy out of Ash, **Benji Ramos**, and the **Vagos**. Sasuke constantly insults Ash every time he meets her and nicknamed her "*Chipmunk*", with some incidents escalating to fights. In one such struggle, Sasuke stole the gold star item in her pockets and all of her shoes in retaliation for her stealing his Ninja Tabi (shoes). Sasuke often says she is obsessed with him and calls her and Benji pathetic losers. He even caused problems for most of her friends, insulting and hurting several of them.
Sasuke also threw her off the pier in the sea once with the Anbu Black Cocks and burned her alive after that. That not being enough, later he and the Anbu Black Cocks invaded the **Burger Shot** which resulted in Ash being shot in the head and almost dying, though she was saved and ferried off to the hospital. After that Sasuke, and **Hunter Skye**, took advantage to package Ash's blood left on scene as a side sauce in a (rather successful) Murder Meal promotion.
After everything he did to her, Ash wished to avoid him for a bit. Despite Ash not seeing him for a while, a new worry cropped up about the feelings of **Oki Doki**, who fell under Sasuke's influence transferring Oki's obsession to him. This has put Oki's allegiance to Burger Shot, and by extension Ash, in question.
