* ChronicHeroSyndrome: Ashe will snark the entire time, but her general care for others and their well-being will cause her to cross an entire burning oil field to save the lives of people who previously tried to gun her down. This can also be invoked by having Ashe track down the hunters she was with at the start of the game who got separated by Prometheus' attack; nothing ''forces'' her to go on this quest, and she gets nothing for it directly, but it's still an option for her to pursue. This is one of the primary tropes that help establish Ashe as a hero and not ''just'' a selfish thrill-seeker.
Added DiffLines:
* NiceGirl: The main thing separating her from the selfish ambitions of [[spoiler:her ancestor]] is that she has no desire for the sort of power the villain is after. Though both are ambitious, Ashe notably refuses to put innocents in danger to get ahead and abhors the idea of forcing others to live life according to her whims. In point of fact, her primary means of putting herself out there as a LegacySeeker is ''being'' a hero who protects the weak and makes a name for themselves opposing philosphical mad men like [[spoiler:Master Albert.]]

* FromZeroToHero: Ashe's motivation. She's not ''quite'' at 'zero' given she's an accomplished Hunter, but she has yet to hit her big, world-changing score on the job, and needs to make it so her name will be known. This quality, her thrill-junkie antics, and an earnest desire to help people is what gets her an in with the Sage Trinity, the people in charge of the world, and allows Ashe to start putting her name out there.

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Ashe gets fed up of waiting to get to the front of the fleet of Raider ships where the Hunters know the cargo they're after is, tunes out the other Hunters transmitting to her from inside their own ship, quickly assesses where her ship is in regards to the raider ships, and then ''leaps down several hundred feet with a cocky smile on her face'' before ''actually sticking the landing on the Raider convoy,'' [[BadassNormal no harm, no foul.]] From there, she gets in an argument with Prometheus and walks away from the incident alive. The entire section shows how Ashe moves to the beat of her own drum and quickly establishes that she has a ton of potential already.

* BerserkButton: Ashe has a very devil-may-care attitude and tends to just roll with the punches - until people start trying to dictate her life, challenge her independence, and marginalize her. Ashe's final battle with Albert is effectively two orators shouting down the other person's ideal and viewpoints as the barbs get increasingly personal, not helped by the fact Ashe is fighting the man who took everything from her merely as an experiment to set up the Game of Destiny.

* ExperiencedProtagonist: Even before getting Model A, Ashe was a Hunter of no small ability or pluck. In cutscenes, though her dialogue ''mostly'' elicits the same responses from Model A and others as her counterpart's, she tends to be a bit more on the ball with the state of the world and what's going on.
Added DiffLines:
* JumpedAtTheCall: Something that separates Ashe from a majority of her predecessors and successors that hold the title of 'Mega Man' throughout the franchise is that she actively ''wants'' the life Model A gives her. Even before Model A entered into Ashe's life, she lived a life of thrills and adventure, working with glorified scavenger-mercenaries due to the Hunter occupation's chance to get good hauls and, of great importance to Ashe, put their names out there as famous heroes and legends. This trait is a core aspect she shares with her inspiration, [[VideoGame/MegaManX Axl.]]
Added DiffLines:
* {{Transhuman}}: Most humans in the setting by the time of the ''ZX'' series are this to some degree, as they are given bodies that make them equal in every way physically to machines so long as they train themselves, but Ashe stands as the poster girl for what these bodies are capable of in the setting with her opening free-dive stunt. Additionally, she goes further and really pushes the boundaries of what 'human' even is by incorporating a mechanical evolution in her body with both Model A and its A-Trans ability, given she can ''become'' Buckfire and other Psuedoroids (which are explicitly data-copies of full machines) and still switch back to her human form by disengaging from Model A. Her counterpart, being a reploid, and her predecessors, lacking A-Trans, can't compare.
Added DiffLines:
* YoungerThanTheyLook: Ashe is fifteen, but her confident, cocky attitude, her character art, and ''especially'' her in-game sprite make her look and seem more like she's in her early twenties.
