## Biography

### Early Childhood

Ash was born somewhere near Sandusky, Ohio, which its remnants lie just off the waters of Lake Erie. She was born into a partially-criminous factioned family, of which was direct rivals with the Guns of Moses, and eventually the USRF. Other than these parental details, Ash's original faction remains shrouded in complete mystery.

For a more positive note, Ash met Connie early on in their childhoods, with both quickly growing their friendship and having become buddies by the time of the "unnamed gang war" mentioned in some of Constantin's dialogue.

### Teenage Years

Ash's teenage years are currently shrouded in mystery, but a well-known piece of information from these times was the ultimate death of Ash's parents in a Guns of Moses-aided village raid near Akron when Ash was only 15. Unfortunately, Ash was caught in the crossfires of the raid, and as Ash was trying to flee for the sake of her life resulted in stray fire striking and grazing Ash across her left eye. This caused permanent damage—her struck eye gashed and non-functional. With only one eye to rely on, Ash worked her way through the chaos and escaped being killed mid-pandemonium.

Once in a safer area, she worked on her now-destroyed eye, cleaning the wound with light-saline solutions and sutures/stitches to catalyze healing. Despite her efforts, **her eye was not salvaged.**

Following the raid, it is unknown whether Connie was soon present to comfort Ash or if she was alone for the time (due to Connie's mentioned service—only debate is when he actually served). The former could have likely resulted in Ash easing up around Connie and a closer bond forming between the two.

The result of this tragic and traumatic experience is the driving reason why Ash holds her remaining friendships—especially hers with Connie—so close to her; she is afraid of having to experience the nightmares over again (which she ultimately did anyway with Johnny's death in the ultimate chapter of "Prologue").

This is also around the time when Ash's friendship with Connie grew at a rapid pace (primarily because of the aforementioned experiences in Akron).

### Embark to Lake Erie

Due to concerns over Connie's overall safety post-service in the NEU military—as well as the waning relationships Ash had (as seen with her parents' deaths), Ash decided to trail alongside Connie to the Sunrise Islands, where the two would eventually settle in order to escape the punishing control from the NEU.

This was likely also done in order to protect herself from having to face harsh regulations from the NEU over her profession in medicine.

### Frontier Beginnings

Following their arrival in Lake Erie, Ash and Constantin soon met up with other inhabitants of the island, notably Paul and Jake, and quickly befriended each other due to their similar goals and relative chemistry. Whilst Connie and his friends began to build plans for a faction on the islands, Ash began the search for a suitable base location.

Unfortunately, Ash's relative lack of knowledge on the Sunrise Islands, coupled with a brutal Wintertide setting in on the islands, ultimately led her into losing track of where she was going—left wandering the islands and unknowingly going missing on the spot. Once the initial fog of the Wintertide subsided, Ash was forced to reside in the Farm Estate: a location on the complete opposite side of the archipelago from where they started.

For months, Ash resided in the estate, staying under the cover of the lingering Alumni and using the available tools and resources in the estate to forge her possible route back to her friends. This was at a point where Ash was tired of losing everything close to her—she wanted none of it anymore and just wanted some happiness in her life for once.

Luck was on her side when Connie, alongside Paul and a newly-met Jason stumbled upon the estate, and thus finally contacting Ash and reuniting the gang.

### Sunrise Frontier

With Ash now having returned, she quickly was incorporated within the Sunrise Frontier as a field medic and key member in the faction. Since then, she and the clan have gone on numerous adventures to explore and chart the islands, as well as build a name in the region—much to the disliking of the Guns of Moses.

## Physical Overview

### Physical Build

Physically, Ash is considered petite for someone of her age. She comes in at a below-average height of 160 centimeters (or 63 inches/5'3" in imperial standard). Ash's little-stature is also seen in her measly 52 kilograms (or 115 pounds) in weight.

Whilst not completely jacked (like some of the other characters within the series likely are), Ash can still hold up her own, and often equalizes her physical (comedic) stature with her wits.

### Strengths & Weaknesses

Physically, Ash's weaknesses revolve around the family raid and eye injuries from her teen years. With only one functioning eye, it is sometimes difficult for her to focus on a target in clutch situations, which is a necessity for someone in the medical field. As a result, her profession as a medic is sometimes questioned due to this ultimate setback in vision and coordination.

It is also because of this injury that Ash has also conceived creative and convenient tools and strategies to attempt to equalize the visual setback. Ash's mental intellect and quick thinking helps to equalize the imbalance. For focus, Ash can sometime use a second pair of eyes (in the form of another friend) to help her detect and identify discrepancies and fix them in a reasonable time.

## Mentality and Personality

### Personality

Ash's personality is influenced by many factors. Ash is usually a loving and caring person who takes her role as the medic of the Sunrise Frontier very seriously. She is known to be empathetic and compassionate towards others, often going out of her way to help those in need. Despite her small stature, she is brave and determined, not letting her size hold her back from helping others or standing up for herself.

Ash expresses these traits around her closest friends especially, such as Connie, mainly because she has built a close friendship with him, and their deep bond is built on years of trust and mutual respect. It is because of these deep and scarce bonds that she is so loyal to the people in her social circle.

However, Ash is not without her flaws, and Ash's bright personality is sometimes seen a masking persona. She can be stubborn at times and may struggle with asking for help when she needs it. Her traumatic past has also left her with emotional scars, and she sometimes struggles with anxiety or feelings of guilt. These past experiences have left her sometimes in emotional episodes where she is often alone and pondering.
