Forum:Why is Ashley an Assist Trophy?

Okay I know that this is a strange topic, but does anyone find it strange that Sakurai made her an Assist Trophy and didn't explain why? All of the other characters have logical explanations as to why they were put into such a position, or were either explain by Sakurai himself. So because of that, what gives?

What maker her role more illogical than, say, Midna and Ghirahim? Speaking of Ghirahim, his introductory Miiverse post doesn't really explain anything either. -Menshay (talk) 14:02, 11 January 2016 (EST)

She's very popular in Japan and is actually the second most important character to her series. 64.251.53.34 14:23, 11 January 2016 (EST)

Calling Ashley the second most important WarioWare character is a stretch. Jimmy T., Mona, and others have been there for every game in the series while she's a later addition. Miles (talk) 14:25, 11 January 2016 (EST)

Sorry, I meant second most popular. However she is the only one to have a costume in Super Mario Maker. 96.56.79.42 14:28, 11 January 2016 (EST)

While she's not playable in this game, I think she's a safe bet for Smash 5. Nintenzilla (talk) 14:34, 11 January 2016 (EST)
