Ash
Background:
Ashly Winters, a 17-year-old goth girl originally from Toronto, Ontario, is an Extra—a young superhuman with the unique ability to control fire, smoke, ash, and embers. Her powers are a mutated form of Pyrokinesis, giving her control not only over flames but also the often overlooked byproducts of fire: the smoke and ash left behind. This unusual form of elemental manipulation has earned her the codename of the Ash Witch, though she prefers to just be called Ash.
Despite her extraordinary abilities, Ashly struggles with depression, self-worth, and socializing with others. She often feels disconnected from the world around her, seeing it as a dark and cold place, but she also finds beauty in that darkness, which aligns with her goth aesthetic. Her sense of style—black clothing, dark makeup, and silver accessories—reflects both her personality and her powers. Ashly is fascinated by the way ash and smoke drift, fade, and reform, which mirrors her internal struggles.
Currently a student at Oakview Academy for Special Students, Ashy is still learning to harness the full extent of her abilities. Although she has mastered controlling fire to some extent, her real power lies in manipulating ash, smoke, and embers, elements that others might ignore but that she sees as equally powerful. As her powers develop, she has begun to discover that she can even alter her own physical structure, transforming into a cloud of smoke or ash threaded with burning embers. However, this ability is still new, and Ashly struggles to control it for extended periods.
As a junior member of North Force, Ashy often feels like she doesn’t measure up to the more experienced heroes, which fuels her feelings of inadequacy. However, her team members recognize her potential, and she continues to work hard to improve her control over her powers. Despite her internal struggles, Ashly is a kind-hearted person who genuinely wants to help others. Her journey is about overcoming her self-doubt and learning to embrace the full scope of her abilities.
Personality: Ashly Winters is introspective, sensitive, and often weighed down by her feelings of isolation and self-doubt. Her goth style reflects the way she sees the world: dark, cold, and at times beautiful in its chaos. While she struggles with depression and feelings of not being good enough, Ashly is kind at heart and truly wants to use her powers for good.
She finds solace in the idea that there is beauty in the aftermath—just as fire leaves behind ash, there is hope even after destruction. This metaphor drives her to keep going, despite the challenges she faces internally and externally. Her introverted nature means that she often keeps to herself, but she is fiercely loyal to those she cares about.
Ashly feels the weight of responsibility as a future member of North Force, and although she may not be as confident as her teammates, she is determined to prove her worth. Her ongoing journey is not just about mastering her powers but also about learning to accept herself and understand her place in the world.
All the while compounding her troubles is the heavy knowledge that her big sister Emily is the supervillain known as Thermite
