hashtagafreakingghost | ONGOING LIST OF HEADCANON (Reply)

Until Dawn is a game that takes place over the course of 10 hours, splitting its attention between eight characters as best it can. Therefore, we've got a lot of leeway for what the characters do and how they all know each other outside of what's shared in canon! Because of that, I'm keeping a nice little list of the headcanon I play Ashley with, however trivial it is.

BASICS:

Birthday: July 20th, 1996
Blood type: A-
Sexual Orientation: Hilariously straight

FAMILY:

Last name ~~Williams~~ WE GOT A REAL ONE EVERYONE, IT'S BROWN
Grew up and lives in Los Angeles, California.
Only child
Lives with ~~both parents~~ her mother and step-dad
Bio-dad was a Nightmare, her mom divorced him and got custody when she was around 8 (references this post)
Mom married her step-dad (an old flame) when she was 10
Step-dad is a high school history teacher
Mom is a magazine editor
One cat, Jasper
Low-to-middle class income, doesn't like to talk about it
Step-dad's more openly affectionate than her mom; inherited her mom's quiet fierce protective streak and dry wit

EDUCATION:

Very smart! Ever since a young age
Genuinely loves to study and take notes
Favorite subject: English
Least favorite subject: Math
Skipped fifth grade, making her 10 when she started middle school
Gets REALLY bored in class if she already knows something
Started having trouble with high school geometry, which lead to studying with Chris
Graduated high school at age 16 due to summer birthday + grade skipping
Attends college in Oregon, same school as Chris
Major: Creative Writing
Double Minor: English and Anthropology

FRIENDSHIPS AND RELATIONSHIPS:

Grew up next door to Mike, whose family had to move to a smaller house when when Ashley was 5
Drifted from Mike as they grew older; a pleasant surprise when they were in the same friend-group, but they remain distant
Met Chris and Josh in sixth grade; Josh approached her because of her name (similarity with Ash Williams of The Evil Dead)
Also because he was held back a grade and knew it would be scary not knowing anyone but he swore her to secrecy there
HAD A CRUSH ON JOSH FOR ABOUT A MONTH never told him and refuses to acknowledge it
Met Sam through Hannah and Beth, sometime in middle school
First invited to Blackwood Pines when she was 13; guests there were the Washingtons, Chris, and Sam
Realized she loved Chris during that trip haha awkward
Tried dating one guy, once, during high school, it lasted two weeks and was very awkward
Met Jess and Matt through Beth early on in high school
Met Emily and became reacquainted with Mike through Josh early on in high school
Josh has tried to get her to watch The Evil Dead more times than she can count; it never works
Josh also tries to give her movie or book recs, but the first time she took one from him, it was Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk; she threw the book at his head the next day at school and refused to talk to him for a week and now she refuses, you had one chance and you blew it Josh
Asked Josh to a Sadie Hawkins Dance in high school because she was too shy to ask Chris, it was hilarious
Instead of going to prom, she watched the extended editions of The Lord of the Rings trilogy with Chris, it was still romantic for her
Studies a lot with Emily
Post-prank, she's even more distant from Mike because of their friendship when they were kids; a sort of "I thought we were better than this but I REALLY thought you were better than this"
Low-key good friends with Matt, helps him with his studies when she can

INTERESTS/MISC:

Favorite book genres: Fantasy, mystery, romance
Least favorite: Horror
Enjoys writing in a notebook because she's just that kind of nerd
Dislikes pumpkin spice
Has many notebooks full of bad poetry from when she was 12-13; she has since learned to stop writing, but her mom refuses to throw them out
Favorite authors include: J. R. R. Tolkein, Virginia Woolf, Ursula Le Guin, Mary Shelly, Terry Prachet, many others.....
Loves bad puns
Enjoys puzzles and puzzle games; Sudoku, crosswords, logic puzzles, etc. as well as puzzle video games - infected the rest of her friends with the Candy Crush plague
Not a big gamer, but scarily good at fighting games without even trying; it frustrates Josh and secret-gamer Emily
Loves Myst
Josh and Chris got her Skyrim as a gateway video game, but Ashley spent more time exploring than actually playing; she confessed later the plot and characters were too dull for her to really want to advance it
Favorite big video game: Dragon Age, which she has played since the beginning after Skyrim didn't work out
Spent January 2015 doing nothing but going to class and playing Dragon Age: Inquisition
Is one of the few members of her friend-group that is NOT into underage drinking, mostly because she's worried about how she'll react to it and if she'll get in trouble (so a goody-two-shoes)
When she actually starts drinking she'll love it; middle-tolerance, a happy and giggly drunk with absolutely no filter
Higher alcohol tolerance than both Chris and Josh
Takes VERY well to marijuana, which she did try in high school ~~(as a reference to her beta characterization)~~ but it CAN make her anxious as all hell
Mostly she's embarrassing about it which is why she refuses to get high around Chris and Josh
No one talks about the year BEFORE the prank where they all got stoned at the Washington Lodge, partly because some of them can barely remember it, but Ashley was a natural
She remembers everything about that weekend and pretends she doesn't
Has a GREAT singing voice but is super shy about it
Not very outdoorsy; doesn't really mind bugs
Knits and crochets her own hats; she can make hats (mostly beanies), scarves, and gloves (mostly fingerless)
Tried to crochet a sweater for Chris once; it did not work
Has written fanfiction
Has written smut fic
Has written Legolas and Gimli smut fic
Has spent a lot of time researching things for writing; is positive she's on the FBI's watchlist
Owns multiple vibrators............

AND MORE TO COME....
