Sister Ashley

Sister Ashley is a Kul Tiran Tidesage serving in the Tenth Fleet. She is well-known for her zealous faith in the Tidemother and her abrasive personality, which has garnered a reputation for her.

Presently, she serves as the chief Tidesage in the Tenth Fleet under the Command of Commodore Godwyn Ladekahn, being a founding officer of the fleet when members of the Fifth Fleet were redistributed by the Proudmoore Admiralty in early 2028 L.A.C.

Description
A youthful, spritely woman, Ashley looks like many Kul Tiran women. Bright red hair, beautiful light blue eyes, and a slim mesomorphic body (likely based off the monastic diet of the Tidesages).

Ashley rarely leaves the comfort of her monastical habit, which features dark blue and gray robes, a sagging hood to cover her face (with her hair seen flowing from the hood exposed), and several thick scrolls adorning her spaulders.

With her is an old, weathered staff featuring an octopus' tentacles and a great metal eye in the center. Those who are more in tune with the elements could likely sense her staff as a center of power for the Tidesage, though weathered and old it may be.

A Tidesage posseses a number of tools with which to execute their tasks, including a small dagger at her hip, and an ornate lantern featuring a tentacle; a common theme amongst the Stormsong Tidesages. Additionally, a bell could be seen tucked with her bags and the belt which binds them.

Around her neck would be an anchor pendant, all silver with no gold to see, likely made of storm silver, a hardy, water-resistant metal frequently used to coat the many great vessels of Kul Tiras.

Her robes covered most of her body well, with some small tipless gloves and short high-heels poking out from the fabric. The shoe's only poked up a small way up, allowing for a soft click as she walked.

Early history
Like many orphans in Kul Tiras, Ashley was taken into the charge of the Stormsong monks, who frequently induct orphans for their order.

Despite this, she was not like many other great individuals of Azeroth, possessing natural abilities or particular prowess as a child. Instead, she was a simple child. She was neither brilliant as a Tidesage, nor inept. Neither gifted, nor stunted. Like many, it took her many years to develop her skills as a Tidesage, officially taking the Path of Storms when she was 19.

Path of the Tides
After years of practice, Ashley had grown into a confident Tidesage as any, able to perform all rites befitting of a Tidesage.

During the turmoil amongst the Stormsong monks, Ashley fled for safety with the Storm's Wake, fearing the destruction that was visible amongst her ranks. During Brother Pike's efforts, Ashley assisted in restoring the monastery alongside fellow monks, ensuring records and rites were safely secured.

Blood War
Following the return of the Kul Tiran fleet, Ashley was stationed aboard LAS Wentworth during the Fourth War and served until the conclusion of the war.

While onboard LAS Wentworth, Ashley largely saw minimal conflict, having primarily seen action at sea rather than on any land campaigns. She notably saw action in the Great Sea when the Wentworth and a number of escort ships were attacked by Horde and Zandalari forces. During the combat, she summoned a swell of waves which capsized a Horde vessel, earning praise, but received no medal.

With the war's conclusion having drawn, Ashley seeks to offer her services to the people of Kul Tiras as she searches for a village to finally reside.

Fifth Fleet
Following the war, she continued to return to normal monastic life with the Storm's Wake, having joined for a brief stint in the Duchy of Havenswood. However, given a lack of Tide-fearing members, she decided to move on. A few days later, she encountered the Fifth Fleet and was readily offered a position due to her military and Tidesage experience. Within a matter of weeks, she became a pivotal member as a Tidesage under Sister Castandrah Stoneshield and others.

Transition to the Tenth Fleet
However, her service with the Fifth Fleet only lasted around a month when members of the Tenth Fleet were reassigned to the crippled Tenth Fleet, with Captain Ladekahn promoted and given orders to rebuild the Fleet. During this transition, she was made chief Tidesage, as Sister Castandrah would remain with the Fifth Fleet.
