** The first game occurs in the span of one day, the day before Ashley's 14th birthday in the year 2005, though the precise date varies depending on the version. In ''Recollection'', the game takes place on July 24, 2005. The DS version has Ashley and the player share a birthday and thus it takes place on whatever day is before the one set on the console, otherwise defaulting to February 24.

* AdultsAreUseless:
** Justified in the first game, where Ashley is literally the only one capable of helping D [[ChildrenAreInnocent precisely because she's a child]].
** ZigZagged in the second game. Ashley is the only person willing to help Matt learn what happened to his father, but it ultimately turns out that most of the information uncovered over the course of narrative is information that [[spoiler:Greg Davis]] already knew, but feared sharing out of concern over Matt's trauma-induced amnesia. In ''Recollection'', after they are assured that Matt can handle the truth, they freely explain everything that the duo couldn't piece together before [[spoiler:taking Matt to see his father]]. Likewise, much of Ashley's half of the story is [[LockedOutOfTheLoop her playing catch-up]] with what most of the adults already know, after which she and the scientists start working together.



* InternalMonologue: Ashley frequently has internal monologues in both games. In the original ''Two Memories'', it's lampshaded via Ashley constantly forgetting that D can read her thoughts while she's having them (something he can't do in the remake). In the Wii game, Matt comments on how often Ashley stares vacantly into space in her own little world.



* AudienceMonologue: ''Another Code: R'' has Ashley face the camera and address the player when monologuing, which is acknowledged in-universe by Matthew noting that she has a tendency to zone out at the weirdest times.

From the perspective of others around her, [[InnerThoughtsOutsiderPuzzlement Ashley is just staring blankly into space]] for awkward amounts of time.



* AdultsAreUseless: Why else is the teenager girl the one running around and solving everyone's personal problems? That said, when the situation calls for it, they prove to be pretty handy.



* LampshadeHanging: At one point in ''R'', Ashley jokes about how frequently Matt suddenly runs away from her for emotional/dramatic effect (including RunningAwayToCry), commenting that Matt runs away about as often as he says she has her "black-outs".



* LampshadeHanging: The Wii version has a lot of this.
** In ''R'', Ashley's back pouch where she stores all of her items is on the back of her jeans. Due to this, whenever she takes out one of her items while in most animations, where you can only see her front, [[{{Hammerspace}} it looks like she's literally pulling items outta her ass]]. There's no doubt that this was most likely an intentional animation gag to take a jab at Ashley seemingly being able to carry around so many items. It still doesn't explain why her tiny pouch seems to have infinite space in itself though.
** Ashley frequently has [[InternalMonologue internal monologues]] in both games. In ''R'' these are depicted via Ashley turned towards the screen, effectively monologuing her thoughts to the player. In both games these are lampshades: In ''Two Memories'' it's lampshaded via Ashley constantly forgetting that D can [[{{Telepathy}} read her thoughts]] while she's having them. In ''R'', Matt lampshades how frequently Ashley seems to start staring vacantly into space in her own little world.
** ''R'' also hangs a lampshade on how frequently they have Matt suddenly run away from Ashley for emotional/dramatic effect (including RunningAwayToCry), with Ashley commenting that Matt runs away about as often as he says she has her "black-outs".



* ReinventingTheTelephone:
** In the Wii game, this is Richard's reasoning as to giving Ashley a new DAS in the second game. He's genuinely surprised that, in 2007, it's common for teenagers to have cell phones.
** Averted in ''Recollection'', where not only does Ashley simply use the same DAS (though it gets a firmware update partway through the game), but one of Richard's notes has him consider taking the features of the DAS to create what would essentially be a smartphone, which in 2007 would be pretty cutting-edge. (Also, Ashley has a regular flip phone.)
