Biography
Ashei's concept art
Ashei was raised in the mountains by her father, a skilled knight, and learned multiple combat skills from him.[1] She is seen carrying a sword and later in the game a bow and a quiver of arrows. Due to her rather masculine upbringing, she took on a somewhat blunt personality and a rough way of speaking.[2] This idiosyncratic way of ending sentences with "yeah?", and the similarities between the two aesthetically, may be a reference to The Wind Waker's Gonzo. It could be said that she is stronger than most men in Hyrule; at the very least, she seems to have a rather derogatory view of the soldiers of Hyrule, stating at one point that she thought that Hyrule was "empty of men of valor"[3] and explaining that the reason she was rude to Link was that she thought he was like "one of those sorry excuses for Hyrule soldiers".[4]
She seems to be interested in finding out why evil seems to control the mountain of Snowpeak,[5] and later tries to figure out the reason for the beast sightings around the Zora's Domain.[6] When Link goes to meet her there, she gives him a sketch, which depicts a Yeti holding a red fish.[7] When Link shows it to Zoras, he finds that the fish is a Reekfish and that Prince Ralis knows about them, being a skilled angler.[8] Link goes to Ralis, gets the Coral Earring,[9] and is able to fish for a Reekfish, which enables him to follow the fish's strong scent through the blizzard encompassing Snowpeak.
When Link enters Hyrule Castle, Ashei, along with the rest of the Resistance, assists him by saving him from a near death experience. Just as Link is about to get attacked by numerous enemies, the Resistance makes their entrance and defeat all of the enemies for the young hero, allowing him to proceed to the last few floors of Hyrule Castle and eventually reach Ganondorf.
After Hyrule returns to peace, Ashei, Shad and Auru can be seen at the Sacred Grove exploring its ruins.
