Ashley graves

Profile Ashley Ashley is a young, pale-skinned and thin woman with deep pink eyes and black, shoulder-length, unruly hair, which she keeps in a loose and low ponytail.

Similarly to Andrew, she wears black and grey clothing. Ashley wears a black choker with a pendant hanging from it. She also wears a black shirt which reveals her cleavage and the straps for her black brassiere, which are shown to have polka dots in official art of her. She wears grey denim shorts and grey lace-up boots, which are accompanied with black ankle socks.

It is mentioned several times by Andrew that Ashley lacks physical attractiveness, which Ashley is highly insecure about and is occasionally seen showing feelings of jealousy for physically attractive females.

Leyley As a child, Ashley, or Leyley, had much shorter hair that was accompanied with a total of five hairpins; three barrettes and two snap pins.

She wore a violet t-shirt with black stripes under black dungarees, a purple belt and ebony shorts. Leyley wore violet brothel creepers.

In-Game Sprite Much like the other characters, her in-game sprite is a stoic grayscale pixel-art version of her.

Personality Ashley exhibits sociopathic and antisocial traits throughout the game. She feels little to no remorse after committing violent crimes, such as murder and cannibalism. She also demonstrates being verbally violent, and apathy when it comes to other people's feelings-- even as a child, she felt no remorse for murdering Nina after finding out she had a crush on her brother. She also berated and hounded Julia for dating Andrew, which resulted in them breaking up.

Ashley demonstrates throughout the story an unhealthy obsession with Andrew, to the point that she'd do anything if it ensured his continued presence by her side. This jealousy means she has no qualms with killing the people closest to them or indulging him in any of his desires, whether romantic or sexual. As he was her sole caretaker, she became reliant on him because of the neglect her parents imposed on her.

Just like Andrew, she is codependent on her sibling, which leads them to enable each other in their insanity. The toxic relationship means their interactions often border on the extreme, with events such as lengthy conversations about suicide, murder, and incest. However, unlike him, she has a confident, unconcerned, and upbeat attitude which often annoys him, she is an particularly annoying bitch who can never shut her goofy ass up.

Background Ashley is the second child and only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Graves. Since their parents thought she would be "easy" to raise, Ashley's primary caretaker had been Andrew. It is suggested that Ashley did not have a proper and comfortable place at the family's dining table. More than that, Ashley felt constantly neglected and pushed away by her parents. It was Andrew who fulfilled the role of both mother and father for Ashley but, as a child himself, he would spoil her and cater to her every demand in exchange. One of Ashley's fondest memories includes Andrew spending his allowance to buy her lemon muffin cakes for her birthday.

Ashley also had few friends; her only friends, two girls named Nina and Julia, were wary of her yet smitten with her brother. Ashley felt betrayed when Nina confessed to her that she had a crush on Andrew and as such, persuaded Andrew to help her 'teach Nina a lesson.' This lesson involved trapping the young girl in a dusty storage box in an abandoned warehouse, only for the siblings to leave her trapped overnight. The next day, Ashley was surprised but not horrified by Nina dying and helps Andrew hide her body in the nearby forest.

At some point, Andrew started dating Julia and Ashley's friendship with the girl soon fell apart. She would send her numerous voice mails and mailed death threats to insult and harass Julia. According to Andrew, Ashley would also constantly call him and ask him for help that would compel him to cancel on his dates with Julia.

Prior to the events of the game, Andrew and Ashley had to be quarantined alongside their whole apartment building due to a 'parasite infestation' in their water supply. Ashley would then spend the next three months in quarantine with Andrew and starts to starve once they run out of food and their building's wardens stop supplying them with food. She would also attempt to call their mother numerous times, to no avail.

The Coffin of Andy and Leyley Episode 1: The Coffin Ashley and her brother are starved inside the building due to their food supplies running out and the guards not giving them any food, that is until their neighbor dies during a botched demonic summoning. Ashley again pressures Andrew into helping her up the neighbor's body so they could both eat him. When the guards finally notice the neighbor is missing, Ashley is attacked but the guard is killed by her brother before she is hurt.

Ashley and her brother now plan to escape but during their attempt end up killing the other guard inside the building by sacrificing him to a demonic entity. The siblings both escape the apartment complex and go into the city as criminals running from the law with a now uncertain future ahead of them.

Episode 2: Graves The episode's ending varies depending on a pair of choices. The first condition is whether or not Andrew spends all of the ammo in Ashley's stolen gun. The second condition is whether or not Ashley trusts Andrew in keeping watch over their parents.

These change both Andrew's and Ashley's dispositions and their interactions, which can range from being hostile and terse to affectionate and teasing. It also reflects on Ashley's sense of safety around Andrew, and whether she fears his 'change' in contrast to the Andy she previously knew. 1.2 Mr. and Mrs. Graves 2 Friends 2.1 Julia 2.2 Nina 3 Possible "act of maturity" Family Andrew Graves Play Fighting Their relationship is a complicated and fundamentally codependent one. Ashley primarily depends on Andrew to survive and they rely on each other to cope with both their initial quarantine neglect and the horrors of murder and cannibalism. This closeness, however, does not exempt them from arguments and violent fights. These arguments are often instigated by Ashley, either by intruding on Andrew's boundaries or by accusing him of disliking or even neglecting her for fear of abandonment. Ashley often relents when Andrew rises to the bait and implicitly threatens her, and cries when Andrew physically threatens her or threatens to leave.

Ashley sincerely believes that Andrew does not like her. She believes that he only keeps her company due to their mother tasking him with her upbringing and for their blood oath from their childhood. At the same time, Ashley believes she is the most important person in Andrew's life and is infuriated at both Andrew's libido and attraction to women, and for women being interested in her brother.

Nevertheless, they at times display a caring and humorous relationship. Although this more humorous side carries some interesting undertones.

Mr. and Mrs. Graves Ashley has a strained relationship with both of her parents, especially her mother. She resents both of them for not checking up on her and Andrew during quarantine, and dislikes how they would neglect her since they made Andrew her primary caregiver. With her father, Ashley finds him unassuming and easy to ignore. Her relationship with Mrs. Graves is more complicated and she is almost gleeful in being able to hold Mrs. Graves hostage, threaten her, or make her miserable.

Friends Julia Julia is Ashley's only known friend from her childhood, and was also Nina's best friend. According to Ashley, Julia would also make excuses to avoid hanging out with Ashley even before Ashley could share information on event dates and such. Their relationship started to fray after Nina's death and continued to fall apart after Julia started dating Andrew.

For the time that Julia started dating Andrew, Ashley would repeatedly harass her via death threats and voice mails. Her harassment ranges from slutshaming Julia as a 'whore' to attempting to trigger Julia's tendency to self-harm.

Nina A childhood friend of Ashley's and the first victim of Andy and Leyley. According to Ashley, Nina would also make excuses to avoid hanging out with her before she could even share information on event dates and such. This changed when Nina confessed that she had a crush on Andrew and Ashley felt betrayed by this development.

When Ashley wanted to punish Nina, she did not care if Nina's asthma was triggered nor when Nina had actually died. By the current events of the game, Nina's death remains a 'justified' outcome to Ashley and she still refers to Nina as a 'bitch.'

Possible "act of maturity" Lady

In the room 302 on the 3rd floor Ashley and Andrew made her to convince Warden Dave to room 405 for Ashley to sacrifice him to the Demon by holding her at knife-point by Andrew and his legendary, people cutting, soup making cleaver, while Ashley was performing the ritual Andrew was supposed to stay and keep and eye on her but Andrew let her go and she tried to stab him with a nailgun... Didn't succeed, instead got stabbed to death by Andrew.

After Ashley returned she accused Andrew of having an "act of maturity" with her and a big fight broke out resulting in Andrew almost choking his sister to death. Although Andrew claims he didn't do anything with the Lady, Ashley believes otherwise.
