Biography[]
Early Life[]
Elizabeth Caledonia Ashe grew up in Texas at Lead Rose Manor; a large estate located outside the town of Bellerae. Born into a wealthy family who came from "old money," Ashe grew up surrounded by privilege. Her parents were highly sought-after business consultants and coaches for powerful CEOs around the world. Though her parents paid little attention to her (mostly leaving her in the care of the family’s omnic butler, B.O.B.), they ensured that Ashe had every opportunity to succeed. B.O.B. was at Ashe's side for as long as she could remember. Her parents would often travel out of Texas, but never took her with them.
Because of their absence, Ashe grew to have a contentious childhood, getting into trouble at school, and spending her time shooting bottles on the family estate with her slingshot. She found the academy "soul-sucking," and was at odds with Headmaster Wallach. Her misdemenors included trying to convince the academy's "resident hacker" to change all her grades to As, and closing the school for decontamination after showing off with her slingshot in the science lab. A loner, Ashe spent a lot of time talking to B.O.B.(even if he was apparently incapable of talking back). Due to her status as heiress to Arbalest Arms, most of her fellow students kept their distance from her.
As a teen/young adult, her demeanors led to being temporarily incarcerated. She and Sheriff Carson became 'aquainted,' but every time, her parents' money was enough to bail her out every time.
When motorcycles with lev rims were released, Ashe broke into her parents' study and used their finances to buy herself one. When her parents returned home, they found their daughter buzzing around the grounds on her new bike, much to their bemusement. Ashe told them that it had been sent as a gift by a business associate, but she'd lost the card. Her parents believed her, though detested the thing, considering it "dangerous" and "unladylike." They didn't shed any tears when Ashe crashed it
Omnic Crisis[]
Ashe and her family went through the Omnic Crisis relatively unscathed, though B.O.B. did disappear during the war. As the years passed, Ashe believed that she'd never see her butler again, and was surprised about how much she'd missed him. However, one day after the war, B.O.B. returned to Lead Rose, now sentient, and...different, in ways that Ashe couldn't quite grasp. But he was still the companion she remembered, and remained at her side.
Graduation[]
For her 17th birthday, Ashe's mother gifted her with a golden bracelet. Months later, her mother borrowed it, and never returned it. At around about the same time, Ashe's condition at school had become worse—an Arbalest factory had shut down, leading to a number of her classmates' parents losing their jobs. Casual avoidance of the Arbalest heiress morphed into active dislike, leading to a number of schoolyard scraps.
Three months before her eighteenth birthday, Ashe was set to graduate. However, despite her parents' promises, they weren't present, as they'd left to deal with a business merger, and had simply left her a note that they hadn't even bothered to sign. Their absence, while not new, hurt her deeply, since they'd seemed genuinely invested in her graduation, if only to show off to Bellerae that their daughter could be more than a troublemaker. Fuming, Ashe walked to school alone, distracting B.O.B. in also to do so (in that he'd always driven her there himself).
As Ashe walked down the road, she was confronted by Jodie and Jimmy Bonney; two fellow classmates whose parents had lost their jobs when the factory shut down. Already frustrated, Ashe rose to the bait, and a fight broke out. She held her own initially, but when Jodie drew a knife, Ashe realized how serious things had become. Nevertheless, she managed to disarm him and take the knife herself, which was when officers from the Bellerae Police Department arrived, finding a knife in her hands, and two bloodied boys (each a year younger than she was) lying on the ground below.
Ashe was brought in for questioning by Carson. He didn't accept her claim that she'd acted in self-defense, as the brothers said that she'd attacked them, and furthermore, his officers had found her holding the knife. Fed up with her constant lawbreaking, he put her in a cell; she was underage, and her parents were overseas, so they couldn't bail her out this time. He'd get round to calling B.O.B. though...eventually
Meeting McCree[]
Ashe found that she had a companion in the cellblock, namely Jesse McCree. While she was wary at first, she began to open up as they discussed firearms, with Ashe preferring rifles while McCree preferred revolvers. She found herself envying him, because while McCree was a drifter with nary a penny to his name, he clearly had the freedom to make his own decisions. A freedom that she didn't have. He told her about his life outside Bellerae. They hit it off, but the reverie was cut short by Carson, who let her out of the cell, as her parents had bailed her out. Again. She bid McCree a quick goodbye and headed out of the station, to where B.O.B. was waiting for her in one of the family cars.
She was given no time to reflect on recent events, as inside the car, the holoscreen activated, displaying her irate parents. They weren't interested in listening to her side of the story, and showed her an article from the Bellerae Daily Pioneer, which listed Ashe as being arrested for armed assault, the article's picture framed in such a manner that it made her look like the aggressor against the Bonney brothers. While Ashe had felt some genuine remorse in letting her parents down, now she realized what it was really about—not so much about her, but rather her being in the news and embarassing her parents. To add insult to injury, her parents laid out what was going to happen. In three months time, Ashe would turn 18, and when that happened, she'd be cut off from her family and its finances. Until then, she could live in Lead Rose, and would be given a small allowance, but nothing more.

Personality and Traits[]
Ashe is the ambitious and calculating leader of the Deadlock Gang and a respected figure in the criminal underworld.
Ashe has an organized mindset. This affects her ideas of how her organization should be run, to how relationships should work. Her relationship with Jesse McCree is "way more complicated" than a simple label, though could be described as a "love-hate" type of relationship. As the daughter of socialites, Ashe feels just as comfortable at charity balls as she does on a motorcycle. She is a good shot with a rifle, believing that accuracy is key, and that all one should need is a single shot.
