| '''Ashley''' is a major character in the ''[[WarioWare (series)|WarioWare]]'' series, first appearing in ''[[WarioWare: Touched!]]'' She is a young witch who lives in a [[Ashley's Mansion|haunted mansion]] in [[Diamond City]] along with her close imp friend, [[Red (WarioWare series)|Red]]. She often takes trips outside her mansion to train in magic and is shown to be a serious, irritable person. | | '''Ashley''' is a fifteen-year-old<ref>[http://ms.nintendo-europe.com/wariowaretouched/enGB/index.html ''WarioWare: Touched!'' European website]. She is "fifteen going on 500".</ref> witch who lives in a [[Ashley's Mansion|haunted mansion]] in [[Diamond City]]. '''Red''' is Ashley's friend; he seems to be some sort of devil or imp who can also change into Ashley's wand or her broom. They are major characters in the [[WarioWare (series)|''WarioWare'' series]] and first appeared in ''[[WarioWare: Touched!]]''. Red is supportive of Ashley's efforts and is always willing to lend a hand in her spells. Ashley is often seen holding a small, stuffed rabbit doll with sewed lips. However, as her theme song states that she never "plays" with dolls, the rabbit could have some sort of dark purpose, such as being used as a voodoo puppet. Ashley also appears to have a very large ego, as evident from her theme song. |

| Ashley returns in ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]''. Her stage is titled "The Loquacious Spell Book," and it introduces the "Big Cheese", "Thumb Wrestler", and "The Discard" [[form]]s. | | Red obviously survives whatever perils Ashley puts him under, as both return in ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]''. Ashley's level is named "The Loquacious Spell Book". Ashley attempts to cast one on a potted plant, using Red as her magic wand, but she gains meager results; it only causes the sprout to become a daisy. Suddenly, Ashley is addressed by a sentient spell book with a skull on the front that says it can help. Once the level is complete, the player is shown Ashley trying the spell again after receiving help from the book, which causes another potted plant to grow into an enormous, monstrous venus flytrap which bursts through the roof. Red is visibly frightened by the development, but Ashley herself simply smiles. |

This is shown to indeed be a film, as a bunch of ghosts with cameras will show up when the player get a game over. Also, it's shown that she owns a mask store whenever the player beat a boss microgame. |
| | |
| Ashley's records are usually peaceful, romantic, or very cheerful, and are generally described as the kind the player wants to sing to. Although it is seemingly out of character for Ashley, she usually has a snide remark toward the record.<ref>{{cite|quote=Cityscape at night?

| | |
| Ashley, with [[Jimmy T|Jimmy T.]], [[9-Volt]], [[Orbulon]], and [[Mona]], apparently left [[WarioWare, Inc.]] to work for [[Diamond Software]] in this game. Though the reason they switched companies is unknown, various residents of Diamond City consider possibilities in the [[D.I.Y. Forum]]s feature of the game. One reason is that Diamond Software may actually pay them.
| |
| | |
| ====''Game & Wario''====
| |
| [[File:Ashley3DG&W.jpeg|thumb|Ashley as she appears in her minigame.]]
| |
| ''[[Game & Wario]]'' features Ashley as the host of a [[Ashley (minigame)|self-titled minigame]]. The minigame's opening cutscene shows Ashley reading a book and coming across a picture page depicting monsters. Ashley casts a spell to be materialized inside the book page, but she is inadvertently transported inside another page themed around candies and sweets instead. Red likes this development, but Ashley is furious and Red transforms into a broom so that they can escape the candy world.
| |
| | |
| The minigame is a shoot 'em up-esque sidescroller where the player controls Ashley by angling the GamePad. The player can collect magic orbs and presents to increase their score while shooting down the cookies and other obstacles. If Ashley is hit too many times, she becomes upset and the player has to comfort her by patting her on the head via the GamePad screen in order to continue.
| |
| | |
| Ashley makes other appearances within the game. In the [[Bowling]] minigame, she is depicted on one of the pins. She is also featured as the subject of the 13th [[Mona Superscoop]] capsule. In it, [[Mona]] states that she took a photo of Ashley flying on her broom at night and that she was surprised to see her looking happy. Finally, one of the possible random paintings in the Artsy [[Call Code]] is a portrait of Ashley (pictured in the gallery).
| |
| | |
| Ashley is the theme of the third ''[[Game & Wario#Miiverse Sketch Masterpiece Collection|Miiverse Sketch Masterpiece Collection]]'' video (commented by Red), a series showcasing pictures of often questionable quality made in the game's Miiverse Sketch mode. Ashley herself is the host of the tenth video, themed after skeleton drawings.
| |
| | |
| ====''WarioWare Gold''====
| |
| [[File:Ashley and Red Demon Gold.png|thumb|200px|Ashley & Red with Gahrumble.]]
| |
| Ashley returns in ''[[WarioWare Gold]]'' alongside Red and the rest of the series cast. The opening cutscene shows Ashley immediately hanging up on [[Wario]] when he calls her to explain his newest money-making scheme.
| |
| | |
| Ashley's story begins with her summoning a demon named [[Gahrumble]] to her mansion. Red congratulates Ashley on her skills and learns that their guest has not eaten in days, as an insatiably hungry demon named [[Dark Lord Hum Gree|Hum Gree]] is eating all the food in the [[demon realms]]. Ashley decides to go to the demon realms to defeat Hum Gree herself. She manages to defeat the demon with a spell that turns Hum Gree into a harmless white fluffy version of himself, and she teleports back to her mansion.
| |
| | |
| Ashley's stage is part of the Twist League, where all of her microgames use gyro input, similar to ''[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]''. Her theme is Fantasy.
| |
| | |
| Ashley also appears at the end of [[Young Cricket]]’s character trailer, right before his stomach growls.
| |
| | |
| Ashley later appears in the Potluck Gang set of the Ultra League, where she goes on a camping trip with Red, Orbulon, [[9-Volt]], [[18-Volt]], [[Dribble & Spitz|Dribble, Spitz]], [[Mike]], and [[5-Volt]]. 5-Volt organizes a potluck, where she brings a "garlic" (which is actually a poisonous [[mandrake]] root), to Red's shock and horror. During the stage, she plays cards with the others. In the stage's ending cutscenes, Dribble says "We better bring [[Wario]] next time," to which Ashley responds "... Next time?", causing her to blush. In the ending of the game, Ashley appears with everyone else to persuade Wario into sharing the money from the tournament, snarking "Well, that was easy." when Wario immediately trips over in his escape attempt.
| |
| | |
| She also stars in the minigame [[Pumpkin Panic]], in which the player controls Ashley from an overhead perspective to defend a field of pumpkins from legions of mandrakes.
| |
| | |
| ====''WarioWare: Get It Together!''====
| |
| [[File:WWGIT Mandrakes.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Ashley & Red facing a swarm of [[mandrake]]s]]
| |
| Ashley appears in ''[[WarioWare: Get It Together!]]'' In the game's story mode, she appears in the opening cutscene, brewing a potion alongside Red. She, along with the rest of the WarioWare, Inc. employees, gets sucked in the game world due to [[Wario]]'s actions.
| |
| | |
| Her stage is the Food stage, which is available after [[Kat & Ana]]'s Nature stage is completed. She is the only character not from ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!]]'' to have her own unique stage.
| |
| | |
| In the pre-stage cutscene, Wario and co. notice a pervasive amount of corruption near Ashley's stage entrance. The gang finds Ashley, who is apparently amused by the effect the [[game bug]] has on her stage. Her emotion immediately turns to indifference when she is noticed by the gang. Wario tries to recruit Ashley into the gang but she rebukes him by saying she has no reason to do so. Wario says they do not need her anyway, prompting Ashley to jump into the stage to prove him wrong.
| |
| | |
| In her stage's cutscene, Ashley & Red are sitting in the dining room hungry because they have nothing to eat. Ashley starts to hallucinate Red's head as a hamburger, apparently considering eating him. [[Mandrake]]s then attack the mansion. Red immediately turns into Ashley's wand and she repels their assault by using spells to turn the mandrakes into food. After her stage is cleared, Ashley joins the gang, simply stating, "Whatever."
| |
| | |
| After beating Anything Goes, Ashley goes back to the real world alongside most of the other WarioWare, Inc. employees and chases after Wario after it is revealed their predicament was caused by his poor programming. However, they soon remember other people were left behind in the game world, and immediately return to rescue them.
| |
| | |
| As a playable character, Ashley flies around on her broom with {{button|switch|leftstick}}. Pressing {{button|switch|a}} makes her fire a projectile from her wand in the direction she is facing. The combination of free movement and omnidirectional attacks allows Ashley to complete almost any microgame with ease, and she excels in forcing moving objects to move quickly and efficiently (e.g. [[Gondola Lift]] and [[Sanitation Station]], two of 6 games that are considered a good fit). Although Ashley has no microgames deeming her a bad fit, her constant projectiles are inefficient in removing large volumes of objects and can cause desired targets to move away from her, evidenced in [[Apple Drop]] and [[Egg It On]], the two microgames that deem her a below-average fit. Because of her versatile characteristics, Ashley has 161 microgames that deem her an above-average fit (the most out of any character).
| |
| | |
| ====''WarioWare: Move It!''====
| |
| [[File:Screenshot WarioWare Move It Ashley Red.png|left|thumb|Ashley tries to turn a shrunken Red back to his normal size]]
| |
| Ashley appears in ''[[WarioWare: Move It!]]'' where she, along with the rest of the ''WarioWare'' cast, join Wario on his vacation to [[Caresaway Island]]. In Ashley's stage, "Caveat Imptor", she is seen on [[Sandboxer Beach]] with Red making a sandcastle that resembles her mansion. She suddenly hears Red calling for help, but cannot find him, as he shrunk himself after eating blueberries from the nearby forest. She notices Red when he climbs onto the sandcastle, pleading for her to make him normal again. Ashley casts multiple spells to revert Red, but to no avail, as her spells instead deform Red in different ways. She then casts a spell that causes red cubed berries to grow in the forest and feeds them to Red. After Red eats all the red cubed berries, he slowly grows back to normal. Red is relieved, but then continues to grow until he reaches a gargantuan size, and panics again. Ashley simply smiles in response.
| |
| | |
| [[File:WWMI Remix 1 cutscene experiment.jpg|thumb|Ashley, Penny, and Dr. Crygor prepare to add in their ingredients]]
| |
| Ashley returns in Remix 1, "Not-So-Relaxing Rapids", where she, along with Dr. Crygor and Penny, accidentally cause their beach house to detach into the nearby rapids after adding in a mandrake to her concoction. Everyone is flung out of the beach house, but they all land safely on top of a tour bus. After the stage is cleared, everyone exits the tour bus and find a statue of King Caresaway the First. When their detached beach house falls and crushes the statue, everyone except Ashley becomes shocked and worried.
| |
| | |
| Ashley, along with the rest of the ''WarioWare'' cast appear in the final stage, "Lava at First Sight", where they all dance to defeat [[Volcano Wario]]. After Wario is launched from the volcano, the cast enjoys their vacation, while Wario is stuck inside a temple.
| |
|
| |
|
| Outside of Story mode, Ashley appears in the [[Copycat Mirror]] mode. The player represented by Ashley faces the screen without Joy-Con controllers, and must perform actions for the second player facing away from the screen with controllers to copy in a mirror image to complete microgames.
| | Ashley's records are usually peaceful and romance like, or very cheerful. Either way, they are described as the kind the player want to sing to. While this seems to be out of place, Ashley will usually have a snide comment in the record's description (For example, City Nights, a peppy city music-like song, has her comment "Cityscape at night? Big deal."). She's also a fan of Sekaiichi Asaruka's comics, due to it's creepy tone. |

| ===''Waiwai! Wario''===
| | Ashley, along with Jimmy T., 9-Volt, Orbulon and Mona apparently left WarioWare Inc. to work for Diamond Software in this game. Though the reason they switched companies is unknown, various residents of Diamond city consider possibilities in the DIY Forums feature of the game. One likely reason is that Diamond Software may actually pay them. |
| [[File:Ashley Waiwai Wario.jpg|thumb|left|Ashley as she appears in the ''Waiwai! Wario'' strip]]
| |
| Ashley appears in the gag strip ''[[Waiwai! Wario]]'', where she is the last WarioWare Inc. employee [[Mona]] summons to get [[Wario]] to keep his promise. As Wario's fart cloud prevents the two from approaching him, Ashley stabs Wario in the butt using a voodoo doll to wake him up.

| | Additionally, Ashley's Song (seen below) appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', and Ashley herself appears as a [[Sticker]], enhancing both [[Princess Peach|Peach]]'s and [[Zelda]]'s magic abilities by twenty-two. The Sticker is based of her official art from ''[[WarioWare: Touched!]]''. |
| [[Ashley's Theme]] appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' as one of the tracks available for the [[WarioWare, Inc.

| |
| | |
| Ashley is also an [[Assist Trophy]] character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' / ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', where her design is based on her ''[[Game & Wario]]'' appearance. When summoned, she conjures a dark cloud of magic on the stage which afflicts opponents with different effects, such as shrinking opponents, slowing them down, rendering them invisible, and causing healing items to inflict damage. It appears to be very similar to that of Luigi's original Final Smash in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', Negative Zone. In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', her eyes glow red for the duration of the spell. An Ashley [[List of Mii Fighter Outfits|outfit]] was also added to ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U'' as DLC in February 2016. In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', Ashley also makes an appearance as a [[spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]].

| Ashley is one of the unlockable Mystery Suits for [[Costume Mario]] in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]''. As with the other costumes, Ashley can only be used in the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' tileset. When the [[Mystery Mushroom]] is grabbed, Ashley says, "Hocus Pocus!" Ashley rides on her broom when she is climbing or swimming, and the death and stage completion jingles are replaced with the jingles from the Ashley minigame from ''Game & Wario''.

| ==General information==
| |
| ===Physical appearance===
| |
| {{rewrite-remove|section=yes|Excessive details describing the character|See [[MarioWiki:Good writing#Fan worship|good writing policy]]}}
| |
| Ashley wears a red long-sleeve dress with a little orange stripe on the end, an orange neckerchief clipped on her chest with a golden skull brooch, black tights (except in ''[[WarioWare Gold]]'' and ''[[WarioWare: Move It!]]''), and red shoes. Ashley usually ties her black hair in two large pigtails with a bang swept to the left, and wears an orange tiara. She was drawn with red eyes up until ''[[Game & Wario]]'', which had her with solid black eyes instead, a change also made to the other ''WarioWare'' characters. Most media published after ''Game & Wario'' would switch to depicting Ashley having solid red eyes with no irises. In ''WarioWare: Smooth Moves'', Ashley also appears wearing a white nightgown with a red necktie and her hair down when she is going to sleep. In the title screen for her game in ''Game & Wario'', she appears older and is rendered in a more realistic style. In ''WarioWare Gold'', she wears flat Mary Jane shoes, her bangs are swept in multiple directions, and she retains her red eye color. In ''WarioWare: Get It Together!'', her Mary Jane shoes are replaced with red flats. In ''WarioWare: Move It!'', she wears a sleeveless version of her dress, lacks her tights once again, and retains her Mary Jane shoes.
| |
|
| |
|
| Ashley's biggest traits are her hair and eyes: whenever she is using magic or angry, her hair changes from black to gray-white, and her eyes glow red.
| | '''ASHLEY:''' Ah! It's detestable! I'm getting bored! |
|
| |
|
| Ashley is stated to be 15 years old on the English ''WarioWare: Touched!'' website.<ref>[http://ms.nintendo-europe.com/wariowaretouched/enGB/index.html ''WarioWare: Touched!'' European website] She is "fifteen going on 500".</ref>{{dead link}} However, [[List of rumors and urban legends#Ashley's age|despite claims to the contrary]], she has not been given a precise age in any Japanese ''WarioWare'' media beyond a statement that her ''Crazy Galaxy'' incarnation "might have become" an adult. | | '''SINGERS:''' Everyone's most popular person in the world<br> |

| |
|
| Ashley appears to be ambidextrous. In ''WarioWare: Smooth Moves'', she wields her wand in her right hand, while in ''WarioWare Gold'', she uses her left. In ''Game & Wario'', her cutscene shows her wielding her wand in her right hand, while in-game she casts spells with her left.

| | ====English Theme Song==== |
| | '''SINGERS:''' Who's the girl next door living in the haunted mansion?<br> |
| | '''ASHLEY:''' You'd better learn my name, 'cause It's-<br> |
| | '''SINGERS:''' Ashley! She knows the darkest spells and she brews the meanest potions.<br> |
| | '''ASHLEY:''' You might be the ingredient I seek.<br> |
| | '''SINGERS:''' Don't let yourself be fooled by her innocent demeanor.<br> |
| | '''ASHLEY:''' You'd better be afraid of the great—<br> |
| | '''SINGERS:''' Ashley! She doesn't play with dolls and she never combs her hair.<br> |
| | '''ASHLEY:''' Who has time for girly things like that? |
|
| |
|
| ===Personality===
| | '''ASHLEY:''' Eye of newt, I cast a hex on you.<br> |
| Ashley is a serious, easily angered person. Ashley also seems to have a large ego (as stated in her theme song) and is prone to bouts of laziness; on one of the ''WarioWare: Smooth Moves'' secret boards, Red is said to take care of his and Ashley's laundry, and she orders Red to write her blog entry for her on the Japanese ''Smooth Moves'' website, although it may be out of shyness. Ashley is portrayed as shy and distant; both ''Touched!'' and ''Game & Wario'' show her not dancing with the other WarioWare employees at the end-of-game party, and her response to comments made by her coworkers on her blog entry is simply "Everyone... I hate you." Her resentment may be the result of her shyness and loneliness; however, her theme song, her ''Game & Wario'' character card, and her trophy description all state she wants to have more friends. ''WarioWare Gold'' depicts Ashley opening up as she is shown playing cards with everyone else during the Potluck Gang stage, and her embarrassed blush in the stage's concluding cutscene hints she enjoyed her time with the others. Her "character trailer" published after the game's launch likewise shows Ashley visibly moved when other WarioWare employees invite her to trick and treat with them.

|
| |
|
| Ashley is stated to have an affinity for food: her microgame theme in ''WarioWare: D.I.Y.'' and ''WarioWare: Get It Together!'' is food, and her Rank B character cards in ''Gold'' states her to be a voracious eater, with another card stating she particularly enjoys the scent of fried [[mandrake]]s.<ref>{{cite|quote=The mandrake is a critical ingredient in magic potions. And the scent of fried mandrake? Ashley loves it.|author=[[Mandrake]]'s rank B character card description|title=''[[WarioWare Gold]]''}}</ref> Her story in ''Game & Wario'', her Rank C character card in ''Gold'', and her description on the official Japanese website all indicate she dislikes sweet and sugary food.
| | '''SINGERS:''' She can rule the world and still finish all her homework.<br> |
| | '''ASHLEY:''' Everyone knows that I'm the greatest:<br> |
| | '''SINGERS:''' Ashley! You'd better watch your step, or she'll cast a spell on you.<br> |

| [[File:Ashley Cast G&W.png|thumb|Ashley casting a spell.]]
| | I don't have as many friends as you.<br> |
| As seen in the ''WarioWare'' games, Ashley can use various spells (stated to be "the darkest spells" in her theme song) and potions. In addition to casting spells with a wand, she can shoot magic blasts from her hand as seen in ''[[Game & Wario]]''. Despite her theme song's boasting, Ashley is apparently a mediocre magician; her ''Game & Wario'' character card states she only successfully cast spells "40% of the time".
| | But I think you're nice, and maybe we could be friends.<br> |
| | And if you say no, you're toast. |

| | There were some issues over Ashley's English theme. If the record is spun fast enough in the Turntable souvenir during the first solo, it would come out with the words "I have granted kids to [[Hell]]!" However, Nintendo and ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' both stated that it was an accident and the words come out like that due to it meshing pieces of the song together.<ref>''[[Nintendo Power]]'' 193: 12, July [[2005]].</ref> The real words are as the following:<br> |
