A local fisherman and his family took the girl in, and raised her as their own. Ashley tried to fit in with the other children, but her dark complexion obviously marked her as an outsider, and it caused some to mistrust her. Despite the suspicious looks and the snide remarks, Ashley grew up to be a happy girl, with a remarkable talent for drawing. Though her 'parents' recognized her gift, they knew it wasn't a much sought after skill where they lived, so they tought her to fish, hunt and forage as well.<br/><br/>When Ashley grew into womanhood, she was visited one night by a blue skinned man. He introduced himself as Serin Haga, a dapsara serving Shelyn, a godess worshipped in Ashley's homeland. He told the girl that Shelyn had chosen her as a servant, and would bestow on her magical powers if she served the godess well. He gave her a silver pendant shaped like a bird with a multicolored tail. He also handed her a weird stick with a large blade on top. He explained that it was a glaive, a weapon used by the clerics of Shelyn to protect the innocent. He explained that it was imperative she learned to use it well, as evil was sure to raise its head one day. As dawn came, the man left, Ashley closed her eyes for a moment, then found herself lying in bed, tthinking it all had been a dream. When she looked down however, she saw the silver pendant around her neck, and the glaive standing against her bed.<br/><br/>She told her parents and siblings what happened. Though none of them had seen or heard the blue man, they could not deny the gifts she had been given, and they were glad for their Ashley to have found her goal in life, even if it was to serve a strange, foreign god. For a few years Ashley lived in peace, practising her skills, telling the villagers of Shelyn, and tending to the sick and wounded. But then disaster struck, and Hrozenzi came. The young cleric ran off to help those in need, helping those suffering, but she couldn't stop her village being overrun by the dragon's minions.<br/><br/>
