Ashen, as a kid, acts a lot like one. He's known to be mostly bratty and arrogant, demanding that people take care of him when he feels like it and that they give up their things for him (Such as food and comfort).
To  some however, he appears like the cutest little angel on the planet and that he needs to be protected. In most cases this is simply a way  for him to get actual protection as well as not have to deal with hostility and get to whatever he needs to retrieve for his "Boss" quicker.

He has no fear of manipulating people for personal gain and will act indifferent to most kinds of suffering, given that he is usually the one to cause the emotional abuse in first place.
That said, he seems to have this idea that those who appear weak to him are  in need to be  protected from harm and thus, will try to make sure they  are not part of  whatever thing he might be planning.

Ashen usually lives in what is known as the "Inner Realms"

_{(Note: Ashen from the Memory Keeper Universe goes as a cat and doesn't have such strong ties to the Inner Realms or the "Boss")}
