Treat Your Family to Homemade Cupcakes. He gets to play the cavalry, riding out in frigates any time someone's house gets burned down. I made some speech about how he was a valuable asset to the squad and he better make us look good out there, blah blah. I suck at speeches. I was cribbing from something I read back in history class.
I don't think anyone noticed. I'm going to miss him. Don't tell anyone. So you think James is cute, eh? Yeah, well, when you said I should "go for him" — not gonna happen, kiddo. See, we have rules about "fraternization". You don't do The Deed with your fellow troops, especially if they're under you in rank.
There's all sorts of problems that can happen when two people in the same unit get together. Let's say your unit is in a tight spot. Some bug-eyed aliens are going to overrun the galaxy. They eat babies, smell bad, and don't have elbows. You're told to guard the rear. To let everyone else escape, someone is ordered "hold this spot until we're gone. You think it's going to be someone you're sleeping with? I've served with these guys for eight months now. Yeah, some of them make me feel tingly and yeah, James was kinda scruffy-cute.
I hope I never have to decide who lives and who dies. But if I have to, my decision can't be muddled up by magic-sparkly-hearts-and-stars feelings. Anyways, I'm gonna knock off here. I've got dog watch in a few hours. Want to get a shower and a meal before then. Talk to you tomorrow. It has been censored at transmission source for security purposes. Any reply may be read by military authorities. Two days before the attack on Eden Prime, Ashley was at a bar on downtime with her fellow soldiers from Unit Sergeant Donkey kept trying to seduce her to no avail, and Ash even joked about hooking up with Pennyloafer, a girl, instead.
The horsing around was interrupted with the arrival of the unit's commanding officer, who presented the soldiers with a recon mission. A beacon was unearthed and the unit was assigned to defend it. Despite being a nominal squad leader, Ashley wasn't given command on the mission, with leadership duties being relegated to Sergeant Donkey.
Ashley correctly interpreted the commanding officer's prejudice regarding her Williams heritage, and grudgingly accepted the situation. Unlike the rest of the squads in Unit , Ashley's 6-man team Dog Squad was ordered to go to the mission site on foot.
During the long trek, Sergeant Donkey expressed his belief that Ashley should be the one leading the mission, praising her ability to keep a level head under pressure. Ashley observed that he was still trying to sleep with her and Donkey didn't deny the assertion, but that didn't mean he wasn't being earnest. Ashley held out hope that maybe she and Donkey will get lucky one day, and continued the march ahead. On the eve of the attack, Dog Squad discovered fellow group Bravo Squad dead on a ditch.
Ash was ordered to pair up with Bates to investigate, and noticed that the dead soldiers didn't even have the chance to draw their weapons. Bates was distraught at the sight of a dead soldier he once knew, and Ash put her hand on his shoulder to console him. Intercepted transmissions later indicated that the other squads Able and Charlie were under attack from an unknown enemy. Because of the situation change and the need for a real leader, Sergeant Donkey relinquished leadership of Dog Squad to Ashley.
Ashley stirred up the group's fighting spirit and encouraged them to double-time it to the dig site. Dog Squad surveyed the dig site at dawn, and surmised the enemy attackers were geth. They were unfortunately spotted by recon drones and fired upon. Ashley attempted to execute the squad's battle plan: she sent Rasputin to an elevated position, gave Sergeant Donkey orders to create a diversion, and tried to set up an ambush herself.
Their flanking maneuver brought down some geth, but the squad began to take heavy casualties. Pennyloafer laid dead and Ashley ordered Jenner to transmit a general warning, but the comm specialist was shot before long.
Rasputin and Donkey went down before getting the chance to heed Ashley's retreat call. Bates disappeared and didn't respond to Ashley's hails, leaving her alone to fend off the geth. Ashley would not take defeat lying down, and successfully fought her way out of her surrounded position. She played cat and mouse with the geth until they found her again, and just when she was sure she was dead she got lucky: Commander Shepard and Kaidan Alenko arrived to her rescue.
Ashley was approached on the Citadel by an Alliance psychologist named Captain Channing a day after the geth attack, who coaxed her to talk about the events on Eden Prime. Initially wary of the psychologist, Ashley warmed up a little when the introspective moment allowed her to think about what Donkey once said: luck is for the lonely. Ashley's unit, the , was wiped out by an army of geth also intent on retrieving the beacon.
Ashley is uncomfortable about filling a dead man's shoes after the loss of Corporal Jenkins , and blames herself for not being more alert during the geth attack. Over time, she becomes accustomed to the crew, even getting along well with Kaidan Alenko. While off duty, Ashley spends her time in the Normandy's storage section, cleaning rifles. Upon interaction, she will give feedback on recent missions, or the latest shipboard gossip before anyone else.
Ashley is interested in Shepard's background. She is amazed that she and Shepard went to the same training facility and even reminisces about getting yelled at by Gunnery Chief Ellison. Ashley enjoys talking about her family. Her father was an enlisted man who brewed his own beer and was proficient at playing baritone saxophones. Her mother had a degree in planetary geology. Both of Ash's parents wanted to see new worlds, though reality meant that her mom had to give up her career to help raise the family while her dad's away on six-month cruises.
Despite his hard work and dedication though, Ashley's father never rose above the rank of Serviceman third class , a fact Ashley is deeply bitter about. Ash is the oldest of four daughters in the family, followed by Abby, Lynn, and Sarah.
Due to her father's frequent deployments, she helped to raise her sisters, and the four siblings grew close to one another as a result. All of them took up self-defense training at their parents' urging: Lynn trained with pistols but didn't like it much, Sarah took Aikido, Abby trained with swords while rocking a Victorian chic , while Ashley herself learned marine hand-to-hand from one of her father's friends.
Later, it's revealed that Ashley's grandfather was General Williams , who surrendered the garrison at Shanxi to the turians during the First Contact War , thus becoming the first human to surrender to an alien force.
Her superiors' prejudice against her family meant she had mostly been stuck on groundside garrison posts — preventing her from gaining actual combat experience — despite her exemplary technical scores. Possibly due to the discrimination she experienced, Ashley asserts that a Williams has to be better than the best, to make up for Shanxi, making her dedicated to her job, but also prickly, blunt and quick-tempered.
Ashley has strong religious beliefs but is hesitant to discuss it with Shepard because she's concerned of the uneasiness it may cause in others. Her faith is strengthened by her work in space — "How can you look out at this galaxy and not believe in something? She still remembers his favorite poem, Tennyson's Ulysses , by heart. When Shepard jokingly states that Ashley is the last person the Commander would expect to hear quoting classical literature, Ashley indignantly replies that just because she can make headshots from a hundred meters doesn't mean she can't like sensitive stuff, though she does request Shepard not to spread it around.
Though she is tough and aggressive, Ashley does have a compassionate side: if she met Samesh Bhatia on the Citadel she is very respectful and sympathetic, taking the time to say how much his late wife Nirali loved him. Due to her family history, groundside assignments, and lack of experience in working with other races, she tends to be distrustful of aliens.
Ashley doesn't trust the Citadel Council and believes humanity can't rely on them staying allies. She questions the wisdom of allowing aliens to wander around the Normandy freely, and dismisses the Prothean Cipher as "some asari mumbo jumbo", believing the Commander has suffered needlessly to get it.
However, Ashley acknowledges that Shepard is in command and the presence of aliens on the Normandy is not her decision. That being said, Ashley isn't xenophobic. She dismisses Terra Firma as a group of xenophobic "jackals" who have replaced the original noble aims of the party with anti-alien paranoia.
At Virmire, if Urdnot Wrex is with the Normandy crew and angry with Shepard due to current events , even though Ashley won't hesitate to shoot the krogan she happily volunteers to go with Captain Kirrahe 's team and has no problem with the salarians , respecting their tenacity and skill. At the operation on Virmire , Shepard can choose to save Ashley's life, but at the cost of losing Kaidan. During the debriefing, Ashley gets angry at Shepard's decision, saying Kaidan was a superior officer and she should have been the one left behind.
However, Shepard responds by asking how far Ashley is willing to go in order to clear her grandfather's name. Ashley does have qualms about facing the Reapers , claiming she's infantry and will have no place in the upcoming battles but Shepard assures her that she's needed. A male Shepard and Ashley can build a rapport after Eden Prime that gradually grows into a romantic interest. Though Ashley is receptive, she's also not shy about needling Shepard on his attraction to a soldier under his command.
Ashley claims she isn't one for words, but her interest in poetry helps her to say what she feels. When the Normandy is grounded by the Council, Ashley persuades Shepard not to give in and nearly share a kiss before being interrupted by Joker. En route to Ilos, Ashley comes to Shepard's quarters, saying that, after a long career of being sidelined by the Alliance, Shepard helps her to feel "good enough", and the two spend the night together. Ashley continues to tease Shepard; she claims to have something important to tell him, but if he wants to hear it, he'll have to survive Ilos and come back to her first.
Over the course of Shepard's relationship s with her, Ashley discusses her love for poetry. Several times, the couple will quote poems to one another to express their feelings.
She quotes British poet Alfred Tennyson more than once -- a tradition started in Mass Effect 1 when she says that she can still quote his poem "Ulysses" by heart. However, at that moment, she was meant to recite a poem by Robert A. Heinlein called "The Green Hills of Earth. Ash Williams from the Evil Dead is a man with little to fear; after all, he's got a chainsaw arm. The Evil Dead content spans movies, comics, television, and video games with much acclaim and many.
Ashley Williams' character can't be cited directly to Ash since Ash's personality changes drastically from appearance to appearance. However, a dialogue line from the first Mass Effect confirms the link!
Ash William's weapon of choice is a shotgun he calls a "boomstick. Ashley Williams gets her love of poetry from her father and she comes from a military family. Her father was a serviceman third class and her grandfather was the legendary General Williams -- the first human to surrender to an alien force.
That didn't stop them all from having a sensitive side. Not many fans even know that Ashley has a middle name! Her full name is Ashley Madeline Williams. This is a fun fact in-and-of-itself, but it's also a reference to her family history. Madeline was the name of a poem by Alfred Tennyson one of her dad's favourites. Ashley Williams' iconic voice actor - Kimberly Brooks - wasn't originally meant to play the role. Daily had that honour in Mass Effect's early development.
However, the romance between Ashley and Shepard was an important part of the character. The developers didn't feel as though Daily had the right approach for it. Kimberly Brooks was cast because she'd previously worked with the game's voice director. She recalled in an interview from that it involved a lot of time recording on her own in the studio.
