Her gentle strength masks a wellspring of power that, when unleashed, can reshape reality.
Personality & Character
Ashai exhibits a strong will and determination in the face of major plot twists or revelations. Despite her emotional nature, she's capable of relying on her skills and the support of those around her. In challenging scenarios, she's unafraid to engage in combat to protect others.
She tends to be reserved around strangers, reflecting her slight social anxiety and secluded upbringing. However, she shows a surprising level of defiance and aggression towards antagonists, especially when protecting those she cares about.

Her connection with Goaden Reeves is profound and complex, built on mutual respect and a growing romantic attraction that neither fully acknowledges.
Holy Item: Thyia
Thyia, the Pendant of Life, is an ethereal and mesmerizing artifact crafted by Fate. The pendant is fashioned from translucent material, with myriad light blue stars that shimmer and dance within its core. These stars twinkle and glow, ebbing and flowing with the rhythm of life around it.
Guided by the wisdom bestowed by her guardian Greah, Ashai understands the sacred balance of life and strives to use the pendant's powers to maintain harmony and protect the living.
