Ashe

As Orchid and Kelpi's firstborn, Ashe is first in line to assume leadership of the March once her parents become unfit to lead. But honestly? She's not sure she wants the job. As a result, she's become somewhat estranged from her family, largely ignoring what they want her to do.

Unfortunately, this led her to become infected with a particularly aggressive strain of gembond when she ran off deep into onyx cobra territory after an argument with her mother became too much for her to bear. Constant visits to the clan's healers have largely kept the stones on her body at bay, but if Ashe goes too long without treatment, the disease will consume her entirely, and she'll turn into a lifeless statue.

After her infection, Ashe started to grow much closer to Stormcloud, who became especially concerned for her wellbeing. The two soon made a habit of talking long through the night as the Fae recovered. When Ashe was finally able to leave the healer's tent, they became almost inseparable. As a result, the rebellious mirror's attitude has begun to rub off on her..
