Ashe Whistleblit

> "*Witch! is **that** what they are calling me? Witch carries such negative connotations like an ugly hag on a rickety broomstick. A girl can't wear a big brimmed hat, live in the woods on her own or summon demons without being called a witch. The nerve on those townspeople!*"

## Biography

### Background

The reasons for Ashe being alone in the abyss and the reason for the demon residing within her is still a mystery to the party.

### "Chasing The Curse" (Ses 05)

The party met Ashe while investigating rumors of a Witch in Gloverwood and a demonic presence within the woods. Although Ashe was responsible for the demonic presence, she was not the reason for the curse and was also affected by it. Ashe was also researching the curse and had found a way to temporarily cure it with a makeshift magic item. She offered to help party if they did all the dirty work.

### "The Tower of Beasts" (Ses 07)

Ashe had ran off being attacked by The New Order killing several of their men in the process. However, with her presence gone The New Order claimed they were the ones that rid the curse. Feeling guilty Ashe had robbed NovaTome of their hard work gave them as much support as she could without going back into town. This included temporary ownership of her imp "Kevin" Forehead. Kevin later claimed that Ashe was afraid NovaTome would hate her for letting The New Order take credit or see her as a monster.

### "Access Denied" (Ses 09)

Eshes' old monks came to warn NovaTome about the presence of a dangerous demon residing within Ashe. They told a story about how she sought refuge, but was too afraid to give up her power. After killing a pet imp of hers and striking her with a paddle for punishment Ashe broke out in an uncontrollable rage. She ended up killing a monk and destroying part of their monastery. They suggested putting Ashe out of her misery.
