Wisteria was from the Lordran era, an illegitimate child born from a clandestine tryst between a Far East Traveler (face model I used for my first DS1 character) and an Astora Noble (face model I used for other DS1 characters and for my DS3 character while modifying her sliders to have some Far East traits). The Far East Traveler had to return. Despite the stigma an unmarried Astoran noble with child would bring, staying with them would not mitigate the social damage either. Because of this she grew up estranged from customs of the Far East, and held a hungering curiosity based on the words of her Astoran parent.

Her formal training was in Astoran swordplay (Straight Swords and Greatswords, mostly the latter), but she would later uncover, bit by bit, the much different sword techniques used in the East. Unfortunately, having grown up with Astora's sword style she found it difficult to adapt and decided not to force herself. She was decidedly a novice at both much to her dismay, but she was able to gain the power to link the Flame with willpower she had not realized she possessed... Not that it was enough to sustain herself once a part the Flame.

The East was all but wiped from the annals of history by the Lothric era. What she remembered of it as she woke as Ash would be, to her, all of the knowledge of her other home; the one she never got to visit before being cast away as an Undead in Lordran.

While she is rather cheerful in the company of others, the chivalry she knew as a knight had dissipated from her identity. She wandered with a band of sellswords for a time, only driving to earn meaningless souls. While she missed knighthood, she would find that there were no longer knights of rational devotion, and once all of the remaining knights in the world were slain, knights as she knew would no longer exist. As Ash, she would know the bliss of devoting one's self to a sword once again, as she learned of Mirrah swordplay. Its elegance and footwork reminded her of the style of the East. In an attempt to reach back to that unknown past one step at a time, she threw herself into it wholly.

She tries to act composed and professional, but her inexperience clashes with the image that she seeks to project to others. Her attempts to stay a noble heart have left her in many a precarious situation, but to maintain it is one of her driving forces as she moves forward. She extends help to those in need when she can, as long as their intentions are not sinister.
