This article is about the WarioWare character. For other uses, see Ashley (disambiguation).

Ashley (アシュリー, Ashley) is a recurring character from the WarioWare series.

Origin

Ashley casting a spell in Game & Wario.

Ashley is a young witch-in-training who lives in a haunted mansion in Diamond City, making her debut as an employee of WarioWare, Inc. in WarioWare: Touched! She is typically accompanied by her familiar, a small shape-shifting imp named Red, who commonly takes the form of her magic wand. Just like Kat and Ana from the same series, in most WarioWare titles they offer a different short story with a set of microgames to go with it.

Ashley and Red's microgame are generally centered around in either using a type of control schemes in a specific way, such as dragging stuff with the Nintendo DS touch screen like in their debut game, or sometimes they can all be related to a specific theme around them, such as being related to all kinds of food like in WarioWare DIY.

Ashley is commonly depicted in her stories as aloof and studious with her magic, though her spells often backfire due to her lack of experience. She is also very quick to anger, though she otherwise shows little emotion. Despite this, her theme song reveals that she considers herself lonely, ultimately wanting to have more friends.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Ashley's Song appears in both English and Japanese language versions on the WarioWare, Inc. stage. Ashley also appears as a sticker in this game.

In Super Smash Bros. 4

As an Assist Trophy

Ashley's cloud attack.

When summoned, Ashley conjures up a cloud with an area of effect using Red's wand form. Any enemies caught in the cloud will move slowly and take damage; a variety of other random effects can also occur, such as characters becoming invisible, food damaging fighters instead of healing them, and even making recovery moves unable to work and instead causing helplessness. In the Wii U version, Ashley's hair and eyes turn white and red respectively when she conjures the cloud. Unlike her appearance in the WarioWare games, she does not have any voice clips.

As a background character

Ashley can appear as a sticker decorating Gamer. The sticker located on a large solid platform that can randomly appear on the left side of the stage.

In Smash Tour

Ashley's trophy appears as a blue item that can be used by the player to reduce the speed of the spinner, allowing the user to more easily roll a specific number.

As a costume

A Mii Swordfighter dressed as Ashley.

A costume for Mii Swordfighters based on Ashley was released on February 3rd, 2016 as part of the final wave of downloadable content.

Outside of her above appearances, Ashley's Song reappears as music in both versions of Smash 4, as music on WarioWare Inc. in the 3DS version and music on Gamer in the Wii U version. While both English and Japanese versions are available on Gamer, only one variant is available on WarioWare, depending on the region.

Trophy

Ashley's trophy appears in both versions. In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U it is part of the WarioWare, Inc. Trophy Box.
