Notes

**Ashley Capta** – *Character Design Bio*

**Appearance:**
Ashley is a tall, athletic teenager with a confident yet playful aura. She has medium-length brown hair with a slight wave that reaches her shoulders, always kept in a loose ponytail, and a few strands framing her face. Her eyes are bright green, with an expressive glint of determination. Her skin is lightly tanned, showing her love for outdoor activities like Pokémon training and battling. She has a slightly more mature and distinct look compared to Ash, yet her style is both casual and functional.

Ashley’s attire reflects her practicality and adventurous spirit. She wears a white, sleeveless hoodie with a faded light blue design of a Pikachu on the front. Her black shorts have pockets and are cut just above the knee, with practical sneakers made for quick movement during Pokémon battles. Over her hoodie, she sports a green, open-front jacket—this jacket is a nod to Cilan’s style and the color of nature, with subtle hints of a floral pattern near the hems to reflect her affectionate feelings for him. She often wears wristbands that bear the Pokémon symbol and small, colorful charms that represent her close bond with her Pikachu.

Her Pikachu is always seen by her side, visibly pregnant and taking comfort in the companionship Ashley provides. They share a deep bond, as Ashley's Pikachu is not just her partner but a symbol of the worlds she’s crossed. The pregnancy has made Ashley more protective, and her Pikachu's calm nature complements Ashley’s fiery personality.

**Personality and Attire Details:**
Ashley radiates an exuberant and positive energy but has a feisty side, especially when it comes to defending those she cares about. She adores Ash, viewing him like the brother she never had, and her enthusiasm for his battles is contagious. She often cheers him on, hugging him in moments of victory and defeat alike, proving her deep, sibling-like affection. However, her feelings for Cilan are much more complicated—she harbors a massive crush on him. This is evident in her flustered reactions when he’s nearby, and she may even get embarrassed or shy in his presence, but she still holds her own and isn’t afraid to engage in conversation with him.

Ashley has a fierce protectiveness toward Ash, especially when Iris teases him, calling him a kid. She’s not afraid to stand up for him and will go to extreme lengths, even resorting to physical confrontation, to ensure Iris learns not to mock Ash. In one memorable instance, Ashley threatened to make a "purée stew" out of Iris, a situation that made it very clear just how far she would go to defend her friends.

Her bravery and sense of justice are her defining traits, always ready to step in when necessary. Despite her tough exterior, Ashley also has a softer side, shown through her tender care for her pregnant Pikachu and her concern for Ash’s well-being.

Her emotions are always worn on her sleeve, making her a loyal and dependable friend, though she also has a no-nonsense approach when someone crosses a line. In all her battles, Ashley’s determination is unstoppable, but her soft spot for Cilan's charming nature is something she won’t easily admit.

**Summary:**
Ashley Capta’s appearance and attire reflect her lively, protective, and somewhat mischievous nature. From her casual yet functional outfit to her affectionate gestures toward Ash and her crush on Cilan, she blends strength and vulnerability with ease. Her unique story as an alternate universe version of Ash brings a fresh dynamic to the group, as she constantly balances the weight of her other-worldly origins with her deep connections to Ash’s world.
