Past

• Empathic and kind, often aiming to look beneath the surface in people and creatures, Ashi has always been drawn more to commoners when it comes to their hero bond, looking for those with noble goals and similar world views. They've had few hero bonds but each came to an end one way or another from old age to betrayal of human kind. Losing their hero always left it's mark in them and each time it eventually filled them with more and more of desperation, grief and anger, making them take more ruthless and aggressive demeanor during which they even used their beast magic to bring towns in their knees, which seems very contrasting to the person they are now. During the reign of King Mal and the captivity however, it really made them reflect on their actions: was this really the sort of person they wanted to be? After their eventual freedom Ashi decided they would make mend their ways.

Other

• Animals and creatures seem to be drawn to them like a moth to a flame
• Physical bond takes form of a red thread
• Their curiosity tends to get the better of them which often leads Ashi in all sorts of situations
• Not very knowledgeable about magic but often uses the help of different magical creatures such as fae folk 
• Used to be envious of Boisbéni with horns, nowadays however they've learned to appreciate their own powers
• Generally pacifist, but is actually rather strong too when push becomes a shove, body riddled with old battle scar beneath those robes. Appears more helpless than actually is.
• Their backbag case is enchanted into a pocket dimension. Holds more things than one would think.
• Used to be bonded to different mythical beasts here and there during their lifetime. Such as dragons.
