Ashley first appeared in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U an 3DS and Ultimate as an assist trophy and a Mii Fighter costume. She was revealed in the August 20XX Nintendo Direct and was the first character revealed after the post-E3 20XX E3 Reveal event. She is also the third Assist Trophy to be promoted from previous Smash titles and the first WarioWare newcomer. She appears alongside her demonic friend, Red, who transforms into her Wand or can also attack with his Trident.

Eric Lindbeck, the person who provided the voice for Ashley, remains the same throughout all language while she is provided a voice by Yumi Yoshimura in the Japanese release. Red voice talent isn’t credited but he communicates with a variety of screeches, snickers, and grunts.

Attributes

Ashley and Red are a duo of WarioWare, Inc. employees, first appearing in WarioWare: Touched!. Ashley is a young witch who lives in a haunted mansion in Diamond City. She often takes trips outside her mansion to train in magic and frequently thinks about her parents. Red is a shapeshifting imp who acts as Ashley's best friend and loyal assistant. Since their introduction in WarioWare: Touched!, the pair have become recurring characters in the WarioWare series. Ashley’s height is on-par with that of Ness and Lucas but she stands slightly taller than them. Despite her appearance, she boasts deceptively long reach thanks to her magical Wand which is actually Red in disguise. When he transforms out of the Wand, he utilizes his Trident which further adds to the pair’s reach potential. Ashley is fairly mediocre in terms of speed but she possesses good jumping and aerial abilities which helps in her air game. Ashley is blast played while focusing on her Specials which grants her unique abilities. Her Specials, Dark Magic Zone and Potion, gives Ashley a temporary or much needed edge in fighting against particularly strong opponents. However, as with any magic, it can possibly backfire on Ashley can cause damage to her and Red should the spell or potion backfire.

Ashley’s weak defensive capabilities and sub-par damage output makes her potentially less appealing to characters such as Isaac or Bandana Dee in the newcomer roster. However, as mentioned above, she has her own tools to give her the edge in battle. This causes the player to rely on utilizing spells and potions in order to score KO’s. Debilitating opponents, finding openings, and relying on some luck is key to succeeding with Ashley. Like some of the other characters, she has a high learning curve thanks to these attributes. That being said, once mastered, she can become an extremely hard opponent to fight against and, dare say, even frustrating.
