Ashley is a young Caucasian woman with medium-length layered red hair and green eyes. Ashley wears natural colored lip gloss and has smokey eye-shadow.

In the Prologue, Ashley wears a dark green and white striped beanie, a dark red puffer jacket, a green long sleeved shirt, black lace-up boots, and a pair of charcoal yoga pants.

When the group meets up a year later, her attire consists of a striped red and pink beanie, a light bluish-grey hoodie worn over a long-sleeved red shirt, blue jean shorts and dark leggings. She also wears a pair of red-striped fingerless gloves. She wears a green rectangular ring on her right middle finger, and a silver locket.

Later, she gets splattered with blood on one side of her outfit, which remains there for the remainder of the game. She may also be given a black eye by The Psycho if she chooses to stab him with the scissors.

Personality


Ashley is described in-game as academic, inquisitive, and forthright. She seems to love books. She dislikes horror movies and dreams of being an author.

While Ashley did partake in the prank against Hannah, she had the least involvement of the group, being a mere onlooker. She can be repentant about participating in the prank if the player so chooses, but she can also be dismissive and lay the blame with Hannah, claiming she overreacted.

Ashley seems to be friendly, cheerful, and generally happy to be around her friends, despite what happened a year ago. She seems to be more polite and serious than the other protagonists, as she doesn't use profanity often like other group members. Ashley is shown to be very observant, yet she is also easily scared due to her wild imagination, which is shown in later chapters.

As the night progresses, she becomes increasingly distressed and scared by the seemingly supernatural events taking place. As such, she at times demonstrates reluctance in looking for Sam when the latter is missing, though Chris can usually convince her to continue and even show courage in the face of a potential threat.

Still, when in actual danger, Ashley is not as quick on her feet as Mike or Emily; this is shown when she manages to stab the Psycho in the shoulder with a pair of scissors, but then fails to either follow up on this attack or escape.

Depending on the player's actions, Ashley can be shown to possess a vengeful streak. If Chris chose to shoot her and save himself earlier, she'll refuse to let him into the lodge, causing him to be killed by a Wendigo.

Biography
Ashley is a smart cookie. She's often found in the library, studying away with her nose in a book. However, her overactive imagination means that she's jumpier than a paranoid kangaroo. She's not a fan of anything scary.

After spending a lot of time with her study-partner Chris, Ashley wonders if he's interested in her as more than just a friend, but she soon snaps out of it - Chris would never ask her out anyway.

☀

One Year Ago
The player first sees Ashley talking with Matt before they play the prank on Hannah. As they head up to the guest room, Ashley laughs as she hides behind a partition and pops out as Hannah takes her blouse off. Although she chases after Hannah to the door, she does not call out to her.
