ashley for brawl

Ashley is a witch in training who lives in a creepy mansion in Diamond City with a little devil named Red. She is very emotionless and rarely ever smiles. Typically, she is not interested in activities not related to becoming a better witch; usually, Ashley tells Red to do it. She often spends her time improving various aspects of her witchcraft, while Red spends a lot of his time helping her in some way.

Despite her generally uncaring personality, she does have a somewhat gentle side to her, as seen in her character intro in WarioWare: Smooth Moves. She is one of four characters (plus two sets of characters) in the series to have lyrics in her theme song (the others are Mike, Dribble and Spitz, and Kat and Ana).

Ashley is just barely introduced in WarioWare: Touched!, as she is already found hard at work trying to make something. She then asks for more ingredients, which brings the player to the interactive portion of the intro, which is to drag various ingredients into the cauldron. However, the mixture fails to do what Ashley intended. While this is happening, Orbulon's ship flies on the top screen and gets hit by lightning, which causes Orbulon to eject. In the following scene, Ashley and Red head out in search of the ingredient they need. As they walk along, Orbulon crashes into Ashley.

Orbulon begins to apologize, only to see Ashley looming over him in a very threatening manner, while Red tells her to "chill out." Orbulon starts to run away; Red tries to get Ashley's attention afterwards, only to have Ashley say that Orbulon is the ingredient she needs. Red runs after Orbulon in an attempt to capture him, which brings the player to Ashley's set of games. After completing a full round of her games, Orbulon is shown to have outrun Red, leaving the little devil empty-handed. Red apologizes to Ashley and seems to be forgiven, but then she says that she would use Red as an ingredient instead. Red doesn't quite understand.

In WarioWare: Smooth Moves, Ashley is first seen looking through a book with a magnifying glass. She turns to Red, who quickly transforms into the wand seen in her promotional art. She tries to use the wand to alter a small seedling in a pot, though only manages to make the seedling grow into a small flower.

Ashley figures that she needs more practice, and then a book with a skull face on the cover offers to help her practice. After the games are done, the book chuckles and flies off in a poof of smoke, telling Ashley to try again. Ashley does so, and she ends up spawning a massive man-eating piranha plant which destroys the mansion, much to Red's terror. As the scene fades out, she gently smiles.

Ashley is voiced by Christina Peyser in the English version of WarioWare: Touched!. The voice of Japanese version isn't published. The difference between the two voice actors is that Japanese voice sounds much more young and high-pitched. English portrayal is lower in pitch and more monotone, especially in Smooth Moves.

When listening to her character theme in the music bonus in WarioWare: Touched! and the player spins the disc at a certain speed, Ashley can be interpreted into saying "I have granted kids to hell." This, added to her appearance as a witch, led some to believe Nintendo was encouraging Satanism; however Nintendo has stated that it was a coincidence.

In the upcoming Super Smash Bros. Brawl, an updated variation of Ashley's Theme is confirmed to be in the game with the song's vocals provided by Emily McIntosh, Terry Lauber, and James Cowan. The song's use for the game has not been determined.
