Socially awkward, naturally timid, she strives to improve herself and make her own path, determined to become her own person and learn how to take care of herself, along with others in her care.

Skill: Despite her sheltered lifestyle, Ashley has worked to forge her own path, learning how to operate a variety of vehicles, from bikes to cranes. She's also quite knowledgeable, on subjects like mathematics, literature and science. History: The daughter of the United States President, a student from the University of Massachusetts, Ashley was once abducted as part of a plan to spread an infestation of a virus across the US, becoming the brief host of a Plagas parasite. However, she was rescued by US agent Leon Kennedy with the parasite removed, the cult responsible for her kidnapping and their leader, Osmund Saddler, stopped, and Ashley was safely returned home. Having grown from the experience, Ashley seeks to better herself more as a person, learning more self-defence lessons and live her own life, hoping to one day open a charity dedicated to helping others, as Leon helped her. Born in 1984, Ashley Graham , code-named Baby Eagle, is the daughter of former President Graham. In 2004, Graham was victim to an international conspiracy to turn influential American citizens into hosts for a mind-control parasite, Las Plagas, and was rescued in a classified government operation. Graham was found in the night locked up in the church. Due to stormy weather the rescue helicopter was not cleared for take-off, and they were instead advised to hide out until dawn. The two made their way northwards through the village centre and met with Dr. Luis Serra in a cabin where he and Kennedy defended Graham from recapture. It was during their escape that Graham began showing symptoms of the Plaga parasite by coughing up blood and was warned she could become a Ganado in the morning if she did not receive urgent medical intervention. After leaving Serra behind, the two were stalked by Bitores Méndez on a cliffside and were lured to an abattoir where he intended to kill Kennedy and return Graham to the church. During the resulting battle, the abattoir caught fire and Graham broke open a window to rescue Kennedy. Coming to the mutual understanding no part of Valdelobos was safe, the two made their way into Salazar Castle, run by Ramón Salazar, 8th Count of Valdelobos who had turned his servants into an enslaved monastic order. On Serra's advice, they continued to travel through in search of the courtyard where he had arranged to give them medication to slow down the Plagas' growth. Serra, however, failed to turn up. Through her Plaga, Saddler took control of Graham and tried to make her kill Kennedy and surrender herself; although unsuccessful, he was able to separate the two behind a castle gate, and Graham, terrified for her life and sanity, hid in a room. Although the two were reunited, this was not for long; within minutes Kennedy was trapped within a cage and Graham forced to walk through an Armadura lair. Although she eventually rescued Kennedy from his cage, Salazar had foreseen this and his Verdugo bodyguard took her away to Salazar's throne room where she was to be forced to drink from a black liquid as part of her ritual initiation. Although Kennedy was able to reach this room, he was dropped down a pit. On orders from Saddler, Krauser was sent out to the castle to recover Graham and take her to their island fortress. In the early hours of the morning, Kennedy caught up with Graham and rescued her from her cell, though by this point the two were both showing increasingly worse symptoms of the Plaga parasite. Having talked with Serra during their separation, Kennedy led Graham around the fortress in search of a lab which had the necessary equipment for an emergency radiation therapy. During their travels, the two were confronted by Saddler himself, who took control of Graham once more and attempted to have her personally shoot Kennedy while he was frozen in place. Graham was narrowly able to save Kennedy's life when she limp wristed the gun causing a stovepipe malfunction, and he was given a stay of execution. Graham was taken away to a stone altar where Saddler personally oversaw her increasing takeover by the Plaga hatchling. Despite this, Kennedy was once more able to recover her, and took her to the lab where both were subjected to the radiation therapy. Headed out of the facility in search for a means of escaping the island, Kennedy fought off Saddler at a construction site on the face of a cliff with the help of Ada Wong, Serra's contact. Following Saddler's demise, the two learnt that Wong had placed explosive charges around the facility, and they were given only a few minutes to escape certain death. The two were able to get out of the island on a Jet Ski through underground caverns and made contact with their government handlers for rescue.
