Ashley Graves

Appearance

Ashley has cherry blossom pink eyes and often displays an impish smirk when conversing with her brother. Her expressions are usually those of malice, disbelief or dereliction. She wears a black top together with a visible black brassière, and a yellow pendant hanging from a black choker. Her hair is uncombed, like her brother's, and tied at the back in a ponytail.

Personality

Ashley exhibits sociopathic and antisocial traits: she feels no remorse after committing horrific, violent crimes such as murder and cannibalism. She's apathetic when it comes to other people's feelings. She would do anything if it ensured Andrew's continued presence by her side, even if it means killing the people closest to them or indulging him in any of his desires (romantic, sexual, or otherwise). Just like Andrew, she is codependent on her sibling, which leads them to enable each other in their insanity which very often borders on extreme with events such as threatening or enacting violence, lengthy conversations about suicide, murder, assault and battery, incestuous feelings, cannibalism, etc. However, unlike him, she has a confident, unconcerned, and upbeat attitude which often annoys him.

Background

Ashley is the second child and only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Graves. Since their parents thought she would be "easy" to raise, Ashley's primary caretaker had been Andrew. It is suggested that Ashley did not have a proper and comfortable place at the family's dining table. More than that, Ashley felt constantly neglected and othered by her parents. It was Andrew who fulfilled the role of both mother and father for Ashley but, as a child himself, he would spoil her and cater to her every demand in exchange. One of Ashley's fondest memories includes Andrew spending his allowance to buy her lemon muffin cakes for her birthday. Ashley also had few friends; her only friends, two girls named Nina and Julia, were wary of her yet smitten with her brother. Ashley felt betrayed when Nina confessed to her that she had a crush on Andrew and as such, persuaded Andrew to help her 'teach Nina a lesson.' This lesson involved trapping the young girl in a dusty storage box in an abandoned warehouse, only for the siblings to leave her trapped overnight. The next day, Ashley was surprised but not horrified by Nina dying and helps Andrew hide her body in the nearby forest. At some point, Andrew started dating Julia and Ashley's friendship with the girl soon fell apart. She would send her numerous voice mails and mailed death treats to insult and harass Julia. According to Andrew, Ashley would also constantly call him and ask him for help that would compel him to cancel on his dates with Julia. Andrew and Ashley had to be quarantined alongside their whole apartment building due to a 'parasite infestation' in their water supply. Ashley would then spend the next three months in quarantine with Andrew and starts to starve once they run out of food and their building's wardens stop supplying them with food. She would also attempt to call their mother numerous times, to no avail. Ashley looked desperately around the apartment for food, and surprisingly found a can of tomatoes in the trash. Ashley goes to show the can to her brother.
