History Characters / SamuraiJackAshi

** She can also be seen as this to Princess Mira from the season 4 episode "XLIV", as both are significantly [[FemalesAreMoreInnocent sympathetic bad girls]] whose tragic backgrounds are in relation to Aku, and were initially meant to target Jack before, but in the end, both decided to give up in doing so.
*** [[spoiler:Ironically, Ashi herself ''was'' potentially going to be [[WarriorPrincess a princess consort]] through her marriage with Jack after the elimination of her father Aku (and she officially became one in the alternate ending of ''Battle Through Time'').]]

* GoingCommando: Probably she never wore underwear in all her life.

* TragicHero: Especially after her post-HeelFaceTurn, wbere she initially had doubts about her past as one of [[spoiler:the Daughters of Aku]].

* TalkingDownTheSuicidal: [[spoiler: Ashi finds Jack about to commit seppuku, but the Omen refuses to let her interfere. So instead, she tells Jack of all the good he's done to talk him out of it, including the [[AccidentalHero indirect salvation]] of the tortured children in "XCVI".]]

* TalkingDownTheSuicidal: [[spoiler: Ashi finds Jack about to commit seppuku, but the Omen refuses to let her interfere. So instead, she tells Jack of all the good he's done to talk him out of it.]]

* VocalEvolution: [[spoiler:As the episodes progress, her voice goes from cold, tough and rigid, to being sweet and soft spoken. Even when she's aggressive, her tone is more controlled. It came to a point where in episode XCVII, her shouting feels so unusual]].

* MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: Her mother basically torturing her on a daily basis had a part on Ashi's HeelFaceTurn and [[spoiler:[[{{Matricide}} eventual killing of said mother}}]].

* OfficialCouple: Becomes one with Jack near the end of Season 5.

** She can also be seen as this to Princess Mira from the season 4 episode "XLIV", as both are significantly [[FemalesAreMoreInnocent sympathetic bad girls]] whose tragic backgrounds are in relation to Aku, and were initially meant to target Jack before, but both decided to give up in doing so.

* HoistByHerOwnPetard: An odd example. When Jack thought that she was dead after their first fight (alongside her sisters), she then suddenly comes behind him to try to assasinate him once more with her kusarigama, only for him to use that weapon of hers against her, but not to eliminate her, but instead to ''constrain'' her with its chain, thus preventing her from killing him completely.

* MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: Her mother basically torturing her on daily basis had a part on Ashi's HeelFaceTurn and eventual killing of her mother.

* MoreDeadlyThanTheMale: Initially a villainous example (especially since she and her sisters were meant to kill Jack under their mother's orders, but ultimately failed in doing so), but later becomes a more heroic one in her later appearances, where she has since been targeting '''malevolent''' masculine beings, mainly for the sake of good ([[spoiler:which includes her father Aku]]).

* TurnTheOtherCheek: Granted, it's true that [[spoiler: Jack was [[KillingInSelfDefense forced to kill in self-defense]], and the Daughters were raised as LaserGuidedTykeBombs who were discouraged into helping one another out. Ashi bears no resentment towards Jack for killing her sisters. She puts the blame far more on her mother for raising her children for a suicide mission.]]

* WhiteSheep: While the others seem to have little personality or emotion, Ashi stands out, being curious, inquisitive, and possibly even suspicious, running off on her own and questioning her surroundings.

* AvengingTheVillain: More like AntiVillain, but it still counts. [[spoiler:The High Priestess' demise wasn't just for the protection of Jack (when he was trying to get his katana back), but it also meant that her daughter Ashi has indirectly avenged the other daughters, as well, especially given their shared trauma [[AbusiveMother from their own mother]] since youth.]]

* AvengingTheVillain: More like AntiVillain, but it still counts. [[spoiler:The High Priestess' demise wasn't just for the protection of Jack (when he was trying to get his katana back), but it also meant that her daughter Ashi has indirectly avenged the latter's siblings, as well, especially because of their shared trauma [[AbusiveMother from their own mother]] since youth.]]

* HoistByHerOwnPetard: An odd example. When Jack thought that she was dead after their first fight (alongside her sisters), she then suddenly comes behind him to try to assasinate him once more with her kusarigama, only for him to use that weapon of hers, but not to eliminate her, but instead to ''constrain'' her with its chain, thus preventing her from killing him completely.

* HeroicBastard: It's safe to assume since her mother considers emotional bond and attachment to be weak, and no father in the picture, Ashi is this out of her six sisters. [[spoiler:Indeed, her biological father Aku never married her mother, and she resents both of her parents.]]

* SoleSurvivor: [[spoiler:It would seem all her sisters perished in the second battle with Jack, leaving her the last one.]]

* RagsToRoyalty: [[spoiler:Subverted. She starts off as the daughter of an insane cultist, but she ends up falling in love with [[WarriorPrince Jack]] and finding out that her father is [[SorcerousOverlord Aku]]. The latter results in her being used as Aku's puppet, and she and Jack never have the chance to get married since killing Aku in the past results in her getting wiped from the timeline during the wedding.]] [[spoiler:DoubleSubverted in the GoldenEnding of VideoGame/SamuraiJackBattleThroughTime when her existence was cemented during the events of the game to go through with her wedding to Jack.]]

* MoreDeadlyThanTheMale: Initially a villainous example (especiqally since she and her sisters were meant to kill Jack under their mother's orders, but ultimately failed in doing so), but later becomes a more heroic one in her later appearances, where she has since been targeting '''malevolent''' masculine beings, mainly for the sake of good ([[spoiler:which includes her father Aku]]).
