4	Ashley Mae Sebera (born November 29, 1988) is an American {{professional wrestl\|ing}}er best known for her time with Wrestling/{{WWE}}. A former bodybuilder, fitness model, gymnast and diver, Sebera was signed to a developmental deal with Wrestling/{{WWENXT}} in 2013, performing under the ring name Dana Brooke. She made her NXT TV debut in 2015 as a {{Heel}}, eventually forming Team Disingenuous with [[Wrestling/TenilleDashwood Emma]], who had recently returned to NXT following a disastrous run on the main roster. This alliance carried over to the main roster after Emma re-debuted in March 2016, with Dana joining her two months later. Emma got injured soon after and Dana started teaming with Wrestling/{{Charlotte}} instead.

6	Recently, due to not finding much success in the ring, she's starting to hang with Titus Worldwide as their "Numbers Analyst." When this gimmick was shortly dropped, she formed a middling tag team with Wrestling/MandyRose before the latter's return to NXT.

8	On Saturday 13, 2024, she makes her post-WWE debut after being released from the Stanford-based promotion in 2023, by joining Wrestling/TotalNonstopActionWrestling under the name Ash by Elegance.

10	!! '''"You will never see your name written in the sky! I'm here to trope you down to earth":'''
11	* AffectionateGestureToTheHead: Except more patronizing than affectionate - usually to opponents in the ring and interviewers after a promo. In some cases, she asks the main male interviewer for NXT (who is considerably taller) to squat down so she can reach.
12	* AlphaBitch: She's very pompous and rude as a heel.
13	* AmazonianBeauty: She's very muscular and athletic, and also displays a well-groomed appearance. She calls it having "[[{{Pun}} flex appeal]]".
14	* ArchEnemy: In mid-2019 she and Sarah Logan of Wrestling/TheRiottSquad started feuding on WWE's sideshow ''Main Event''.
15	* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: When Dana is pleading to Charlotte, she says that she has been answering her fanmail, carrying her bags and got her an advance copy of ''Film/BeautyAndTheBeast2017''.
16	* AmazonianBeauty: She's a bodybuilder, a gymnast, as well as being a wrestler.
17	* BitchSlap: After having enough of Charlotte's mockery, she slapped her as hard as the champ had to her a few weeks previously. It got an enormous pop from the crowd - to the point where she became #1 most trending on Twitter - and even Sasha Banks and Bayley looked both stunned and impressed. It also earned her a spot in the number one contender match for the Raw Women's Championship by an impressed Mick Foley.
18	* BullyingADragon: She was foolish enough to pick a fight with [[Wrestling/KanakoUrai Asuka]], and it ended up costing her dearly. Even the NXT crowd noted how bad this idea was, breaking out the "You Fucked Up!" chant, usually reserved for major botches, when Dana slapped Asuka.
19	* ButtMonkey:
20	** On the main roster, she quickly became one as Charlotte's lackey. She lost to just about everyone, and would be constantly belittled by Charlotte herself.
21	** She's usually the first or one of the first people eliminated during multi-woman matches. During the women's battle royal at [=WrestleMania=] 34, she was ganged by everyone, face and heel, and was unceremoniously tossed out of the ring.
22	* CatchPhrase: As part of Titus Worldwide, she'd begin a sentence with "According to my numbers..." to state something relevant or an opinion.
23	* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Early in her NXT run she would use lots of TotallyRadical expressions like 'jelly', 'totes' and 'cray-cray'. Around the time she paired up with Emma, she dropped this.
24	* {{Determinator}}: She didn't let her injury stop her from competing against Asuka and according to ''Breaking Ground'', was one of the hardest working rookies in NXT.
25	* TheDogBitesBack: Double subverted. After being berated by Charlotte, she turned on her and slapped her... and failed to win the #1 contender's match she was put in. She returned to Charlotte's side but after Charlotte fired her in 2017, she unleashed a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown in revenge. It was a long time coming, and the crowd was fully behind it, chanting her name.
26	* DudeWheresMyRespect: By 2019 she'd been on the main roster for three years yet never held a championship, and had fallen to the wayside after a semi-prominent presence during her first year on television. This trope was her effective response, saying that she was tired of being overlooked by management and determined to make a name for herself with the WWE Universe. At first things weren't promising, with her falling down to ''Main Event'', WWE's D-show, although she began making regular appearances there and getting increasingly better reactions from the audience. By late 2019, [[ThrowTheDogABone things had gone well enough for her that she was added to SmackDown's team at]] ''Wrestling/SurvivorSeries''.
27	* FanServicePack: Inverted. Initially wrestling wearing very skimpy outfits, she switched to long tights and more modest clothes when she appeared on the main roster. When she joined Titus Worldwide, she started wearing business suits, which includes a short tight skirt, [[https://www.instagram.com/p/Be0gMB9ASSJ/?hl=en as seen here.]]
28	* FearlessFool: Has no problem antagonizing former champions and international superstars, despite being a newbie herself.
29	* TheFightingNarcissist: She seems a little ''too'' obsessed with her body.
30	* FinishingMove: A Samoan Driver dubbed the "Barbie Crusher".
31	* FunWithAcronyms: Her and Emma's second team name 'E.N.D.' (Emma and Dana).
32	* GirlyBruiser: "The Killer Barbie" RedBaron paints her as such. She'll always have [[PinkMeansFeminine some form of pink]] on her entrance gear and will also do some SheFu in her matches too - alongside being pushed as a powerhouse.
33	* GoldfishPoopGang: She and Emma as Team Disingenuous (later END) loved picking fights with the likes of Charlotte, Bayley and Asuka. They rarely won and rarely learned from their mistakes either.
34	* HeelFaceTurn: After Charlotte fired her in 2017. Though after a while of not appearing on TV she would turn heel again and reignite her feud with [[Wrestling/KanakoUrai Asuka]], though this feud came short lived and Dana returned to being a face as part of Titus Worldwide.
35	* HiddenDepths: Despite being a former body builder and getting booked as a powerhouse wrestler, she is also a talented gymnast as seen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDK4ITwm8kc here]]. In her entrance she often does a no-armed cartwheel just to show off.
36	* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: She routinely fails to help Charlotte win matches, and often loses herself. Charlotte does not let her forget this and continually chews her out for it. One instance had her slapping Dana right in the face, leaving her stunned.
37	* LeotardOfPower: Her most common outfit is usually a leotard, which makes sense given her gymnastics background.
38	* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: Tried to stand up to Creator/RondaRousey when she started going off on the fans post-FaceHeelTurn, and got a beatdown and an Armbar to show for it.
39	* OddFriendship:
40	** With [[Wrestling/TenilleDashwood Emma]], of all people. What's especially odd is that Emma was the [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness serious one]] in the pairing.
41	** After Emma suffered a back injury in May 2016, she joined forces with Wrestling/{{Charlotte}}, costing Wrestling/{{Natalya}} the Women's Championship, for whatever reason.
42	* OfCorsetsSexy: Some of her ring outfits evoke corsets, and {{Fanservice}} is definitely the aim.
43	* RedBaron: "The Killer Barbie" and "The Total Diva".
44	* {{Retcon}}: Her partnership with Charlotte on the main roster completely ignored the fact that they were rivals on NXT, which was never acknowledged.
45	* ReligiousBruiser: As seen on the show ''Breaking Ground'' on the WWE Network.
46	* SexyBacklessOutfit: One of the leotards that she's been wearing leaves her entire back bare.
47	* SmugSnake: Between using the [[AlphaBitch Patronizing]] [[AffectionateGestureToTheHead Gesture to the Head]] to her enemies and antagonizing more experienced wrestlers, she's probably the best example of this among WWE female wrestlers in a while.
