« RECORD »
- Controlling: Ashe is a natural-born leader who thrives on things being her way and her controlling nature means she wants to be the one in charge of a family. She managed to get what she wanted when she was part of forming the Deadlock Rebels gang, and after McCree was caught and agreed to join Overwatch, Ashe easily stepped into the role of the one and only boss. Her rules are simple: don't cross her and don't break your word to her. Ashe isn't afraid to get her hands dirty and take care of dissenters herself, and so her little "family" follows orders and does their best to stay on her good side.
- Loyal: Ashe expects those she chooses to surround herself with to have her back in a fight, listen to her plans and execute them without question, and never lie to her. Having trust issues stemming from childhood means that she actively has to work against those issues in order to build this foundation of loyalty, so it's extremely important to her. When Ashe claims a person as her own, she will be incredibly loyal to them, but if that person up and leaves, she sees it as a massive betrayal and will hold a real grudge against them. To her, being loyal is what holds families together and if you come for her family or what they've built together, she will end you.
- Family-oriented: As a child, she wanted for nothing material, but lacked a loving, warm family. A "poor little rich girl," Ashe was left with the family's omnic butler while her parents traveled often as business consultants. They missed birthdays and most likely other events in their daughter's life that she saw as important. This made her act out to get their attention and desperate for a family unit who would always be there for her. Her upbringing has left her with deep psychological scars regarding the concept of family and what makes one. She was never physically or verbally abused, and she had all the necessities plus more, but the warmth and care of parents simply being with her wasn't there. Because of this, Ashe's greatest desire is creating the perfect family of her own, and she feels she's achieved this with the Deadlock gang. However, she will always be drawn to those who seem like her: lacking that first foundation in life of family. She craves connections to others and creating a relationship built on loyalty and trust, but she's scared of it not turning out how she planned and losing it all, which feeds back into her abandonment issues.
- Planner: Ashe runs the gang as a business instead of as a bunch of mindless thugs. She managed to broker peace with the other gangs also running in the area by pointing out all the benefits to not competing for the same score and staying out of each other's way. In doing so, she helped avoid fights and bloodshed by giving a solution that would work for them all. She also organizes her gang's heists with plenty of careful planning, involving blueprints, time lines, and the like. She goes into things fully prepared and it's when a wrench is thrown into things that she reacts badly because things should go her way.
- Selfish: Despite rebelling against her rich parents and striking out on her own, Ashe is very much still the selfish and spoiled rich girl who feels she deserves to take what she's due. When McCree comes along to take just one crate from a haul of weapons that the Deadlock gang claims, Ashe is quick to want it for herself because it looks fancy and she knows McCree wants it, but also because she believes the gang worked hard to get it. To give in to him would be lowering herself, and she wouldn't do that with someone she now despises. When all else fails and she's desperate, she falls back on her personal butler to make things right for her. She can talk about hard work and dedication all she wants, but that rich girl is still buried deep within, and if she needs an edge in a fight, she won't hesitate to get the Big Omnic Butler with the arm cannons to take care of things for her.
Under pressure: Ashe is queen of her castle at home. She's set herself up in the life she wants, doing a thrilling thing by being an outlaw, and having the perfect family she's always craved. Everything in her life is planned by her and is supposed to go off without a hitch. It's when a wrench is thrown into the works that she loses her cool and that fiery temper of hers comes out as she tries to regain control. She blames those closest to her, gets frustrated, and demands results that favor her. Just from being in the game, Ashe will feel that loss of control in her life. She'll surely be angry about it and may initially lash out in frustration. However, Ashe is a very savvy businesswoman. At home she managed to get all the local gangs to operate within the area peacefully without getting in each others' way or trying for the same score. She sells illegal weapons on the black market and hasn't been thrown in prison yet. Therefore she knows how to navigate choppy waters to get results. I think that in game, she'd be quick to play along because of the benefits. It would be stupid to continue throwing a tantrum about being taken away from her good life when doing so gets her nothing (except making her feel a little better). She'll look at the situation with a critical eye and know that creating Manna is her ticket to getting better things while she's here and a way to placate Malachite in an effort to get home. She would probably try to learn as much as she could about the world in order to see if there are other ways or any loopholes she can exploit, but she'll play ball to get results. She may just be screaming internally as she does it. Of course, being in a new place with new people means she can try to create a found family right here, since she'll be missing what she had at home. She'll probably get controlling about it, but that just means there's an opportunity to learn that such behavior isn't the way to go and maybe loosen her grip a bit.
