IN-DEPTH STUFF

Physical Description
Ash is a tiny little thing, or at least she is in comparison to most other Kulshedra. This is a result of her being born "out of season", but other than that, she's not too different from your average Kulshedra. Her scales are a light grey to match her name, and are surprisingly smooth and bunched together to the point where it can be difficult to tell where one scale ends and the other begins. Her hair is entirely grey and shares the same colour as her scales, and is commonly kept on the longer side so that it can be styled in various ways- if given the choice, though, she likes to keep it pretty simple. Her eyes are a deep emerald green, decorated by several golden flecks. She doesn't exactly think of herself as being particularly cute, but that doesn't change what other people think.

Her clothing can very a lot depending on what she's currently doing- she could simply be wearing plain clothes, or be in her uniform, or (gulp) wearing whatever "overly cutesy mess" PR has decided to put together for her. One thing that's pretty much always present, however, is the big purple ribbon that she keeps tied around her tail. Her dragon basically demands that she wear it, and while Ash isn't particularly fond of it, it's not really worth arguing with a dragon over it.

She also has a tattoo of a phoenix on the upper part of her right arm, above where the scales end. It's very pretty. :3

Personality
Depends on who you are and what mood you happen to catch her in. To the average person, she’s seemingly bright and cheerful, always looking on the bright side, very playful, and generally being “toooootally adorable”. For most people, this is all they see of her, and so they assume that this is what she’s like all of the time- but that’s far from the truth. There’s another side to her, one that’s much more bitter, frustrated, and even fiery on occasion. This is the side of her that usually manifests around other Pilots and people she knows well, especially those in her squad.

Ash has a bit of a temper to her, and she's not afraid in the slightest to tell people off or even yell at them (when she's not out in public, at least) if they're doing something to annoy her. However, she does know when it isn't an appropriate time to lose her temper, and can be incredibly patient at times if the situation calls for it. For example, she would never allow herself to freak out in the middle of combat- she wouldn't last long on her squad if that was the case. This can lead to her letting her emotions bubble and boil underneath the surface for long periods of time, which only makes it even scarier for whatever unfortunate soul is on the receiving ends of one of her rants when she does get the chance to let it all out.

While the "cuter" side of her is mostly just used to make her look not-terrible out in public, there's some parts of it that aren't completely fabricated. Ash does have a bit of a soft spot for cute things, but of course there's a difference between liking something and having your entire life revolve around it. She can also be pretty competitive, which means that there has to be some amount of playfulness buried in there somewhere.

Ash has mixed feelings about being part of her squad- while she does enjoy the aspects of combat and order and appreciates the opportunity to prove her worth as a Pilot, there are other things that really tick her off. She hates the overly cutesy stuff that PR and her dragon are constantly getting her to do, and certain members of the squad do kinda get on her nerves...

Magic/Abilities
Ash's most practical and useful ability is a sort of localized hemokinesis(?) that allows her to control the flow of blood and chemicals (such as neurotransmitters) within her own body. This gives her more direct control over things that would usually be taken care of by her body automatically. For example, she could force her body to stay "calm" (normal heart rate, breathing, etc) under pressure, giving her an incredibly steady aim even under the most stressful of circumstances.

She's also a faunapath, but that doesn't really come up all that often in her line of work. It's a pretty rare sight to find her making use of this ability, which isn't too surprising- after all, what exactly would she be using it on?

Decent telepath.

Relationships
June- Her dragon. She's a bit unique-looking, having two pairs of leathery wings and sporting various shades of red, orange, and yellow. She also has a few small tubes running along the sides of her body, transporting various fluids around as they are needed. June is quite the playful dragon, and her decisions seem to be rooted much more in personal preference than pure logic. For example, her reasoning for her choice of Pilot was for one simple reason- she thought Ash was cute! The decision to join the newly forming Sirens was almost entirely June's, because of course she had to show off her adorable little Pilot to the world somehow. While the dragon does get on Ash's nerves from time to time, she puts up with her well enough- not that she has much of a choice, of course.
