Past: 

All it takes is one little mistake to change the course of your life, and Ashlyn made her mistake when she was just a little girl. Ashlyn’s family was always the type that had to be the strongest, the bravest, and the ones most deserving of praise. She grew up proud of her family- they were the very best, and she could be a part of the legacy. The person that she latched onto the most wasn’t either of her parents though. No, the person that she looked up to more than anyone else was her uncle. Uncle Finn was her father’s brother, and he was over at their house quite often during Ashlyn’s childhood. Whenever he would come over she would attach herself to his side, begging him to regale her with stories. Later in life she would realize that he had never fought dragons or anything of the like for two important reasons. One: dragons were not then, and never had been, real. And two: he worked a desk job at a government agency. He was very successful in that and would often be praised by the rest of the family, but it wasn’t interesting to a little kid. So he lied to her- but that wasn’t why she would be angry with him for the rest of her life. Stella Draco was the first person to approach her after everything went down- or rather, she was the first person to approach who didn’t throw her uncle’s arrest in her face. Instead of the often heard, “so what was it exactly that happened to your uncle?” or, “hey, I heard your uncle got arrested!” Stella walked up and asked if she’d be her partner for the science project they were starting that day. Ashlyn never knew that it was so simple to start a steady friendship with someone, but the two of them have been friends ever since. Ashlyn gathered more friends about her as she started high school, but none of those would ever mean as much as Stella’s did. Scott was obnoxious, the twins were loud, and everyone else was slightly annoying at best (forgettable at worst). She liked being surrounded by friends though. Though she would never admit it, with them she felt protected from those that would do her wrong. All the same Ashlyn is still trying to prove herself to the world. She still feels partly responsible for everything that happened- not because she could have stopped her uncle, but because she should have known better than to get attached in the first place.

Current: 

Ashlyn easily acknowledges the fact that Stella came up with the idea to come to the resort, but she appreciates that she doesn’t rub it in her face. Ashlyn should have been the one to come up with it, she thinks, because she was the one that had been so ready to get out of that stupid town. She loves her family and she loves the landscape, but that doesn’t mean a thing when she can’t stand the fact that everyone knows who she is. In another life her heritage would be something that she could take pride in, but sadly that isn’t what she finds back in her hometown. Instead she just finds some place she wants to run away from.

The resort is just as much a place for her to start over as it is a place for her to spend time with her friends. Though she’s a bit annoyed that certain someone’s are coming along (read: Hiccup and Frederick, who she would rather have as little to do with as possible), she won’t pitch a fit about it because that isn’t her style. 

Connections: 

Henrik Vast and Frederick Ingerman

The two poor kids who are bullied by the friend group Ashlyn has found herself a part of. While she doesn’t usually get involved with the actual bullying, she doesn’t stop it either and doesn’t really feel guilty about it. She tends to use one or the other as a punching bag from time to time, but she’s pretty sure it makes them feel included so…

Stella Draco

Stella is, for lack of a better phrase, Ashlyn’s best friend. If anything they are actually closer than that, but there’s no word that Ashlyn can think of to describe their friendship. Stella is the person that Ashlyn would trust whole heartedly and without conditions.

Scott Jorgenson, Blake Ayden, Tessa Draco, Macey Laurie, Hayden Fang, Rowan Thorston and Tobias Thorston

The friend group that she has somehow found herself in the middle of. While she’s not sure that she even likes all of them half the time, she knows that all of them have her back if something comes up. That’s all she really requires out of her friends because she already has Stella.
