Personality
Ashlee is your average young adult; she attends college, hangs out with friends, occasionally yells at her parents in her rebellious nature, and loves her younger siblings to pieces. She's a big fan of "speak softly and carry a big stick," so she won't go around bragging about her abilities or skills. She prefers showing to talking. She's an average student and doesn't stick out in sports. Her temper has a long fuse, but a bigger boom; her tantrums as a young child would leave the backyard in disarray. Despite her origins and the nature of her powers, Ashlee seems content with her place in the world and doesn't care to hold herself above humanity as a few other demons do.
Powers
Ashlee's powers are at the same time mystic in origin and natural to who she is. Among them are:
- Super strength: Ash has had time to grow into the unusual strength she possesses, giving her the amount of self control she needs to avoid seriously injuring everyone around her. While she doesn't have unlimited strength, she can in fact lift several tons.
- Regeneration: She can also heal at incredible rates, wounds patching in minutes that would normally kill a human. To date she has survived being in a thirty car pile up, being on fire, and still managed to pull herself out to help clear some of the other injured. Since she does not normally get into fights with other metahumans or supernaturals, Ashlee's limits on her regeneration have not been tested.
- Shadow manipulation: Ash doesn't use this power often for offense, but she relies on it for camouflage, defense, and travel. She coats her hands in shadows to trick opponents into thinking it's some sort of magical or energy attack, when in reality it's her own strength they should worry about. She often blends into the background, becoming untraceable. She's also been known to travel between shadows not unlike teleportation. This does not mean, however, that there must be existing shadows for her to use. She can and often does create her own.
- Detection: For some reason she can't explain, Ash is also able to pick up on when someone is hiding nearby or disguising their appearances, or simply lying. It doesn't seem to matter if they use mundane methods, magical, scientific/technological, or abilities that are natural; she just knows when something isn't as it appears to be or when she's being spied on. Note this does not mean she knows what something really is, she just knows when it isn't "true."
Unknown Powers
- Shapeshifting: Ashlee's appearance is her natural one, but it is by no means her only one. She is currently aware of this ability, but goes to great lengths to keep it secret. If and when she ever decides to change her appearance, it is a complete transformation. For example, if she were to make herself into an elf, then her entire anatomy would change; including her blood and DNA. This ability even affects her aura.
- Possession: Exactly as it says, Ash can even take over others bodies for a short time, simply hitch a ride, or hide. She doesn't like doing this because some people have really, really dirty minds.
- Soul Magic: Ashlee can even make deals in exchange for others' souls, though what she can grant is limited. So far, she hasn't made any deals, stolen souls, or even anything else involving another's spirit. She prefers not to, but the ability is there to use if ever necessary.
True Origins
Ashlee White is, in fact, a demon. This is not common knowledge, and Ash wasn't even aware of it until recently despite instinctively knowing about her powers and how they work. She just called it "magic" and left it at that. She was raised by humans all her life and considers herself one of them, despite her origin.
During the war between Heaven and Lucifer's armies, there were a few angels who didn't feel like fighting on either side. They preferred not to harm any of their siblings, regardless of whom they served. For this neutral, yet still disobedient act, they were banished along with Lucifer and his lot...but they were not granted access to Hell either. They were stuck somewhere in between being holy and unholy. As such, these demons do not register as what they are, feeling as though they are neutral magical creatures rather than demonic.
Stuck in the mortal realm, the Sable demons (as they began calling themselves), slowly shifted over the millenia into a new culture altogether. Their abilities adapted to hiding among the species of the mortal realm and living in peace. Their mastery of these skills and powers are probably what lead to the ability to detect when others are doing so nearby. Instead of raising their own young, they drop them off at the homes of mortals to take in and raise instead; this leads to decades, even centuries, of Sables never finding out what they are and assuming they're just from magical bloodlines of the species that raised them. Such was the case of Ashlee, until her birth parent came back to inform Ash of what she is.
Weaknesses
Surprisingly, holy and unholy energies don't do any additional damage that one would think they should. However, because of the neutrality of the Sables in the war, they are neither and thus do not suffer from the opposing energy. They do have their weaknesses, though.
- Extreme Light: Sables evolved into creatures of shadow, and therefore concentrated light usually hurts or blinds them. Ash herself is very uncomfortable in direct sunlight. It also somewhat hampers her control of shadows, and she can't see as well in well lit areas or in the day. It goes like this: Matches/Lighters/Key chain flashlights, nothing. Larger flashlights/torches, annoyance. Florescent lights/bonfires, blurry vision. Direct sunlight, tingly burning sensation on top of blurry vision. Luckily Ash's regeneration keeps the sunlight from actually doing damage to her.
- Fire: Though she can survive being on fire, especially if it's put out quick enough, Ashlee suffers immense pain from it and it's slower to heal than other injuries. Whereas being stabbed takes just a minute, healing from fire (depending on severity) would take anywhere from 10-15 minutes of concentrated effort up to days of resting.
