Short dirty blonde messy hair with her bangs covering her eyes a lot of the times, though she does push them to the side usually when looking at people.

[/list] [b]Party Trick:[/b] She has a very good eye. Usually when she's somewhat focused, she can spot little things. She's also is able to throw someone flat on their back. Though she usually avoids having to. [b]Profession:[/b] Firefighter [b]Personality:[/b] Ashton is a very quiet individual. Literally. No really she hardly ever speaks, even to close friends. Some people have a hard time deciding if she's mute or just chooses not to speak. That isn't to say she isn't social however. She's quite animated in her movements and usually gets her point across to others by facial expressions and physical motions. Though, she does always carry a boogie board around her neck to write out any words she wants to communicate toward someone. Friendly and outgoing, she's happy to greet with just about anyone. Also a bit adventurous and enjoys wandering about on her down time. Usually, she's eager to please and is a bit naïve at times. A bit of a space cadet, she'll at times turn quite a bit klutzy when she's not focused on anything. Or, just get absolutely lost in the city during her walk-a-bouts. Is absolutely oblivious when it comes to romantic matters. One could fairly say she's a tomboy. She doesn't usually upkeep appearance as she doesn't see much point. Her body doesn't exactly meet the 'womanly attractive' criteria. Too tall, too flat, no hips. Never dresses 'girly' but she does like plushies. That and she would much rather get dirty by playing in rain puddles rather than putting on a dress or makeup. [b]Bio:[/b] Growing up a orphan, Ashton doesn't have much memory before the age of ten. She's just always lived at the orphanage to her knowledge. She was a pretty quiet child, didn't talk much, but enjoyed exploring. One day, when playing by a bridge, she almost fell off it, but someone saved her. A woman of the military, and it was a start of her wishing to join the army. This woman was named Claire Griffon. Whom soon was kind enough to adopt the lanky child. A beautiful woman with a kind heart, with a bit of a stern way of upbringing, she still did her best to raise Ashton. Ashton ended up wanting to be exactly like Claire. Kind, able to show love to just about anyone. Not romantic... just... a pure emotion. It was hard to explain with words. When she turned the age of eighteen, she went off to follow her dream of following her adoptive mothers footsteps. Serving the armed service for three years, specializing with the sniper rifle. Though she retired and instead decided to train the next two as a firefighter. The army turned out just not to be for her, as she did not want to actually hurt people. She wanted to help them. Only staying so long was because she wanted to make Claire proud. However, one day she received a letter notifying Ashton that Claire passed away due to a accident that caused their apartment to be erupted in flames. Distraught and heartbroken, she felt completely lost, unsure what her purpose was anymore. However, after a few letters Claire had sent her prior, her confidence slowly returned. So she decided to do another physically active job that did help people that didn't exactly involve fighting people. Fighting fire. Deciding that was the best way to share kindness to others like others have shown to her.

Ashton is still working hard as a Firefighter and has been worn out. Well, besides having a little accident on the job with a recent building on fire. Oddly, a building erupted into flames in a apartment building. Police are still trying to find the cause and if any ill intentions were the cause. Ashton went inside to evacuate and rescue trapped civilians with her team. A chunk of the roofing managed to fall on her during the incident. Medically, they say she'll be fine, got out with a few bruises and a sore back. She's been ordered on medical leave for at least a month however. She'll be back to work in a week.[/hider] [h1]Side Characters[/h1] [hider=Marine Redwood]Name: Marine Redwood Age: 24 Appearance: [IMG]http://i65.tinypic.com/2qb7z13.jpg[/IMG] Height: 5'0 Weight: 130 Likes: - Fighting Fire - Teasing others - Messing Around - Going out at parties or mixers - Flirting - Showing off she's a tough little girl - Playing jokes and doing dares - Free running Dislikes: - Idiots - Fire - People pointing out her short stature - People underestimating her - Hypocrites Party Trick: She's really good at climbing. Profession: FireFighter Bio/Personality: Marine is generally a good natured woman who loves having fun. Going out on parties, going on dates, picking on her team at the station and thinking she's the one in charge and of course putting out fire. She's usually the one coming up with ideas to mess with people or play a little prank, making bets or other trouble. Her life was pretty normal though, growing up as a daughter to a Fire Chief. So she hardly saw him, but she always admired the trade. When her father died in a tragic accident in a house engulfed in flames, she swore she'd be the greatest firefighter in Shine City and be a Fire Chief like her father. Theme Song: [/hider]
