ғᴀᴄᴇ ᴄʟᴀɪᴍ/ᴀᴘᴘᴇᴀʀᴀɴᴄᴇ
Tall and lanky, he stands at about 5 feet and 13 inches. . . He likes to think that he's still growing though.

He has reddish hair similar to his mother's hair colour. And he also has hazel eyes. Being half Illyrian he has a pair of Illyrian wings on his back. Also on his back you will find a long scar that goes from his left shoulder to his lower right rib. Also, he has freckles on his face evenly spaced out though his left side has more than his right side.

He's left handed.

ᴘᴇʀsᴏɴᴀʟɪᴛʏ
Ash is shy an reserved, but you wouldn't see that from him just by looking at him while he's out in the wild (aka. Out in public.). He forces himself to appear extroverted to others in fear of people calling him weak and useless if they discovered that he would rather be by himself in a dark room than in a crowded public place. He believes men need to be strong and bulky beasts that are brave and can fight off against anything that is thrown their way. He envies his older brother Silas, for he seems to be quite good at being strong, he even envies his sister for this as well- heck if the other brother is anything but an introvert like him, he'd envy them too. But nevertheless, he loves his siblings deeply.

Despite being younger than his other siblings, he is protective of all of them, heck he's protective of his cousins and the rest of his family too. He wishes to serve and protect the ones he cares for, and he'd do anything to make them happy. He doesn't wish to see his family get hurt, nor would he like to see any of them hurt an innocent. That being said, if one makes his sister cry, he will use all of his power to end them. If one makes his brothers cry, he'll end them too, but he's also afraid of the amount of beast it would take to make a grown man cry.

He is also a playful little bean, he mainly shows this side around those he is close with. He likes to tease his sister for being shorter than he, but then, he is also shorter than his elder brother and would dislike it if he teased him with height related topics. He likes to lean his arm on those shorter than him and ask the age old question: "How's the weather down there?" He just simply likes to tease and playfully enjoy his siblings' company. For he's afraid they'll forget about him once they've all grown and fled the coop.

He is also a very sensitive child, he can't hold back his emotions well and very much will end up crying in public if pushed to the limit of his strength. He tries hard to keep his emotions intact, but he never actually succeeds at doing so. It doesn't help that he uses his Illyrian wings to show when he is sad or nervous by folding them inwards and holding them tight. His tells for when he lies are also revealed through a little movement of his wings as well as a slight wiggle of his pointed ears. He is also quite emotional and has been seen crying over a flower that someone stepped on. But then again he was truly a child then and cried at basically everything at that age.

Along with his playful self and his forcing of making himself into an extrovert, he tries to make himself into a flirtatious bean when introduced to new folks- specifically those of the female kind. Although he's not picky and will play along if a guy starts to flirt with him. Even though he doesn't swing that way. Sometimes though, he may come off a little too forced and have received many slaps to the face because of this. And no, they weren't all just from females. Like mentioned earlier, he likes to dabble.

He knows that his sister is most likely going to take the throne as High Lady and a part of him is a little jealous, but it's not like he was next in line either, he knew he wouldn't get the throne and he decided it would be best to look for a lady from another court to mate with so he can be the high lord there. He also is fearful that people will think that he is just the shadow of his older siblings, not that important in comparison. But this only makes him work harder to prove them wrong. He is a hard worker and it shows.... even if sometimes he looks like he's goofing off. If he misses classes/important things or are late to them, he was probably up late the night before practicing because he doesn't want to make a fool of himself, embarrass his family, and above all... he wants people to like him. And he thinks if he's cool and can do all these cool things, people will like him.

He is also very caring, at least when you get through the weird introvert self forcing it to be extroverted craziness that may spout from him in an attempt to make you like him.... It usually comes out when he's alone or with small creatures. He likes to rescue hurt creatures and nurse them back to health... but he tries to keep it hidden from his family, for he feels they won't understand and call him a weakling. He does love his family and he cares for them deeply, he just sometimes has these thoughts that make him question if they love him back or not. Or if they're embarrassed by him in someway or something. He's very clumsy too, especially around girls... more so around girls he fancies. A factor of it is also his nerves and introverted shyness fighting against his wanting to be extroverted and be liked by everyone.

ʜɪsᴛᴏʀʏ*
Ash is the youngest son of Rhysand and Feyre, he has two older brothers and one older sister. He is aware that his sister is most likely going to take the throne, and he is unbothered by this. As long as she's happy, he'd be happy.

He is a little overprotective of his sister and have tried a many times to size up her potential suitors. But being a slightly awkward child, his attempts failed most of the time, as he would only manage to walk up to them, attempt to speak, and then simply back away. If they were larger than he was, he would most likely end up running away, in fear of his attempt to intimidate backfiring and causing the suitor to beat him up. Even so, he would always be hiding in the shadows (literally) watching suitor to make sure they don't try anything. Of course if it looked like they were going to...... he would leave, if she trusted them that much then he could too... at least for a moment.

Ash is still a virgin, which definitely makes him more awkward when trying to talk with anyone of the opposite sex. He's not as outgoing as his siblings are (or at least appear to be) and would much rather stay home and practice his powers and abilities, or even work on his combative skills. He was never one to make a scene and would sometimes back away from a fight - declaring defeat if he didn't think he could beat the opponent or if he thought he'd lose even if he'd won the physical fight. If he didn't feel passionate about the cause, he wouldn't fight. If he had a burning flame inside of him, he would fight to the end of the world, even if he knew he couldn't win. If someone picked on his siblings, he would full on tackle them (the enemy not his sibling). He is reckless when he is fighting for someone or something he cares about. He goes all out with it and doesn't hold back. He once fought an older kid because they shot an arrow at a tree and refused to apologize to the tree. He did not win that fight.

He got the scar on his back when he decided it would be a bright idea to fight a wild animal with no powers or weapons to help him. Why did he do this? He was drunk. He can hold his liquor well, but there are times where one can have too much, even the strongest will fall at too much of a good thing. Only his siblings and maybe his cousins would know of the truth of this story, but to the random ladies he attempts to pick up... he simply tells them that he got it while wrestling a wild bear or wild cat to save a family of bunnies or some other cute small and defenceless creature. And when they don't believe him, he says his sister did it to him because he teased her too much. And that is apparently something more believeable.

He looks up to his siblings, they're all so cool and strong in their own way. He sometimes dreams he could be like them, but then sometimes he just out right hates them ... as siblings do. He once held a grudge against his older siblings and refused to talk to any of them for a week because someone ate the last item of food that he was eying but was too shy to say anything about.... And then when he realized he shouldn't blame them but himself for not speaking up, he felt guilty and made them all flower crowns. He never did know if they understood why he made the crowns out of plants for them, nor if they even realized that he was mad at them. He was too shy to even ask one of them about it and decided to just let the matter be.

He has spent many nights in his room going over available female Fae that reside in the lands, the courts they were from didn't matter to him, as long as they were strong and beautiful he had them on his list. Though this was hard most of the time trying to narrow things down, for every lady he had met were all strong and beautiful in their own right. Sometimes he would think about a suitor for his older brothers, wondering if they'd be happy or grateful to him if he hooked them up. Probably not, but it wouldn't hurt to try, besides... he was probably going to end up lonely in the end... surrounded by a hoard of tiny creatures he'd rescue from the wild.

He had learned stories of his parents' adventures and powers, one being of how his mother had created creatures from a given element. He was so amazed that he too wished to be able to create creatures from his elemental powers. At least once per week you can find him out trying to create butterflies from water, darkness, or even ice. He mainly practices at night in the dark because it calms him and he feels more comfortable in the darkness of the night. Since both his parents have darkness Manipulation powers, his darkness Manipulation powers are stronger than his other powers and this contributes to why he prefers to be in the dark than in the light.

Night Court - Dream Court

sᴋɪʟʟs
- He's an okay hand to hand fighter, not the best but he's not terrible at it either. He's never wanted to be a warrior, but knows the basics of Illyrian combat. He knows enough that if he needed to, he could fight for his family.

- Ash would much rather prefer to be a healer than a warrior, he has a vast knowledge of healing techniques and how to cure or at least subdue various ailments or injuries. He is a rather skilled healer and likes it that way, he has gained experience through the healing and rescuing of small creatures he has found and helped throughout the years.

- He also has a vast knowledge of the wildlife and different creatures' anatomy, gained through experience and reading about it from a book. He is a relatively quick learner, and understands things easily. It's just the doing it part is a little difficult for him.

- He is creative. He likes to draw and tinker with random things he finds. He is also patient and loyal.

- He is also a very skilled climber and can do Parkour quite well. Unless of course he is trying to show off in front of someone he is trying to woo. . . . and then the clumsiness comes through and nothing works anymore.

ᴡᴇᴀᴘᴏɴs
He doesn't really rely on weapons, but if he needed to use one he would have two Illyrian daggers using Illyrian steel.

Both would be located on either side of a leather belt which he would sport, granted he decides to bring them along.

ᴘᴏᴡᴇʀs
Darkness Manipulation - User can create, shape and manipulate darkness and shadows.

Water Manipulation - User can create, shape and manipulate water.

Little bit of Ice manipulation - ability to create, shape and manipulate ice - he dabbles in it mildly and it is more of a hobby as supposed to an actual power. He mainly uses it to solidify his water into ice (restrain something with water and then harden it with the ice manipulation by changing the water into ice.)

Healing - Through his blood he is able to heal himself and others. He also uses his water manipulation power to help assist him in healing others.

Flight via his Illyrian Wings - he is able to carry one person as well.... or multiple tiny creatures.

Shadowsingers have the ability to wield and control shadows. They can hear and feel things others can't and can merge into the shadows as well as transport through them.

His main power that is mostly mastered is his darkness manipulation and Shadowsinger ability. He prefers to be on the more of a defensive side of things, waiting in the dark. This is why he decided to work on water manipulation to support his healing abilities, so he can be a better healer and let those who were better fighters get back into the fights.

While his water manipulation, healing, and dabble of ice powers aren't as well mastered and definitely require work. He still has not yet fully controlled his power and stays up during the night so he can at least make it look like he knows what he's doing. He can often be found by the water working on his water manipulation skills and the dabble of ice.

Unlike his siblings, he does not have the ability to winnowing.

ᴏᴛʜᴇʀ
- He likes older women. It may sound weird, but he's a little off put towards younger women. It just doesn't feel right to him.

- He likes to drink and can hold his own. But he can become drunk if he drinks too much. And he will drink too much if he starts to drink. Because. . . he likes to drink.

- He likes to sit in trees. He also likes to climb up to high places and sit there. He also likes to do leaps of faith from high places, using his Illyrian wings to let him glide in the air so he doesn't end up going splat. He also likes to scare ladies he manages to get up there with him, doing weird little tricks in the air.

- He likes to plant little plants in random places and then come to care for them. But sometimes he forgets where he plants things and they still grow up to be magnificent plant beasts. This is possibly why he would end up crying over someone plucking a flower from the ground. For, he is unsure if he planted that flower. . . if that was his child that they plucked from the ground.

- He wants to make a world where all feel safe within. He also likes to give people hugs, mainly those who are close to him, but he likes hugs nevertheless.

- He wants to go on a journey . . . or at least not stay in the Night Court all his life.
