History: History

Game History: The previous stay experienced by Ashley, she was a submissive that ended up contracting with Kaine and cohabitating with her and Nier. While she never came to trust them, she was surprised at their kindness towards her in spite of her usual anti-social behaviors.

Throughout her stay, she managed to form a bond with one Kento Nanami, despite expecting him to eventually toss her. During their times together, an experiment had him (literally) rearranging her guts which sparked their unusual bond. She found herself tolerating him thanks to his unrelenting tolerance of her and his willingness to spoil her with the occasional requests for gifts and attention.

By and large, she made a point to lay a little low, waiting for signs of her brother to 'come and save her', though she found herself often depressed in her absence, believing he had abandoned her here to get rid of her. Despite the fact that she knew perfectly well that this was out of Andrew's hands, her inclination to always assume Andrew is the center of all that happens to her lead her to focus on this intrusive thought.

Personality:
Positive Trait: Confident - Ashley is a terribly confident person, mostly because she's got little remorse over her actions at this point in her life, whether it's murder, cannibalism, theft, or deception. Even if suicide is on the table, she's confident 'It'll work out' and is usually able to laugh about it. As long as Andrew is nearby, she can act easily and with a sense of humor that would be considered deranged by normal people who AREN'T sacrificing people to demons. But that's not Ashley. She is confident that she is a very sane, normal person who is just reacting to her circumstances! Though she does exhibit some anxiety, she shows little to no doubt about Andrew and her plans to murder their neighbor, their potential assassin, and their parents. She has so much confidence in Andrew (usually) that she runs gleefully out in the open to distract the hitman hired to kill them so Andrew can locate and shoot him.

Negative Trait: Possessiveness - Ashley is possessive to a point that is well beyond reason. Andrew is her father, mother, brother, mentor, protector, and, in her eyes, soul mate. To her, her world should only be Andrew and his world should only be her. She can get along decently with others (or could before) as long as no one, specifically women, try to get close to Andrew. He chose HER, and that's how it's supposed to be. When Andrew dated Julia, she harassed her relentlessly, though they had once been friends. She even went as far as accidentally killing a girl as a child out of jealousy. If she had her way, she'd burn the whole world to have just her and him in it.

Negative Trait: Apathetic - If Ashley ever held outward sympathy for others, it's long dead. While in some routes she feels a bit of remorse for killing her parents, at least, she brushes off most of her misdeeds with a joke or compartmentalization. If she does regret any of it, she's not going to show it unless it's damaged her relationship with Andrew or worse, put her life in danger... at Andrew's hands. She is able to crack jokes about cooking her own parents and dismembering strangers. She can even tease Andrew about her being able to be much, much worse to him.

Negative Trait: Manipulative - Ashley has an arsenal of emotions and tools she'll use to manipulate a situation. She's not above considering getting impregnated to escape the indefinite quarantine her and her brother were under, she will use violence to manipulate her parents, and she'll use tears, affection, anger, and guilt trips to manipulate her brother. Depending on the route, she even considers sex with him to be a possible tool to keep him by her side after seeing a prophetic dream about them post-coitus. Nothing is off the table for her. It seems to be a tool for survival she built after living with her parents' neglect and rejection, as well as her difficulty in making strong friendships outside of her bond with her brother.

Powers and Abilities: - Prophetic dreams (kind of) : Ashley can have prophetic dreams if she feeds souls to the demonic entity she convenes with. It's one dream per sacrifice session.

Sample 1:

[ This was...

This was...

Absolute bullshit.

Ashley Graves was not a person who took being toyed with lightly, and this was leagues beyond her tolerance. She was not a canary to cage. She had done many things in her life to get her way, and it was, in her eyes, a grave sin to catch her like a fly in a glue trap to watch her wiggle in dismay.

Worst of all, her shitty, useless brother was no where. So, what, they only took her?

Or was he somewhere else? Was he avoiding her -- abandoning her when he knew she couldn't find him easily here? Was he fucking some floozy given the easy excuse for it this place apparently presented? He fell so easily for a pretty girl batting her eyes. He was such an idiot, and too easy to manipulate and he needed her protection here.

But he hated her, didn't he? Surely, he hated her. EVERYONE hated her, but he did especially, right?

Ashley Graves sits with her head against the window of the train, paying absolutely no attention to the scenery outside. None of it interested her. This shit sucked and she felt like garbage. What was she supposed to do right now? Why hadn't her dreams shown her this instead of... some of the other pains they had?

If someone sat beside her, she'd hardly notice without prompting. For once, the thick-headed menace is too in her head to be aware of her surroundings. ]

Sample 2:

[ Ashley Graves sits on camera with her feet up on a table. She's got a casual body language, despite the anxiety in her. There was a lost feeling in her she was trying to wrangle and put in a box. Putting on a front right now is best. She can't be vulnerable here, there's no one who'd take care of her. She might as well be on guard. ]

So, we can't knocked up to get out of this creep show, and we can't fuck the guards to bribe them, either. Leaves us pretty screwed here, right? But I guess we're supposed to get screwed either way.

[ There is no way Andrew can ever know what she might, and probably will, do here. She'd be a hypocrite. A floozy hypocrite... but maybe he'd get angry about it. It was fun, seeing him get angry and protective of her. ]

At least, I'm guessing, the food here's much better than the food I was eating at home. Given it's food at all. I was getting a lot better at cooking on my own, but I'll take eating out way more often over having to cook for just myself. Any recommendations? Buffets? Places with steak? I'm open to suggestions.
