History: Ash was born near the Balearic Islands in 150BC near the end of the Hellenistic period of Greece as the result of a political marriage between a siren princess, and a merpeople noble. The resulting peace was good for many centuries but, as most peaces wrought by political marriages it was eventually brought back to disputing over ruling the land and trying to kill each other off. At the center of this battle is Ash, both sides wanted to use her as a secret weapon to give them an advantage over the other. Since she has the powers of both races she has an unknown potential to be powerful therefore both sides want her more or less as an insurance policy. Both sides are only nice to her in hopes of using her against the other in order to win, the moment she's of no more use to them they'll kill her lest she becomes a danger. So both sides formed a plot to overrun the government and start a war using Ash as a weapon as both sides believed they had her allegiance. Everyone knew of these plots, everyone except Ash, who found out by accident one night by stumbling upon a revolution council and listening in. She was shocked by what she'd heard, but knew she couldn't tell anyone so the next day she managed to talk with her parents who had come up with a plan to escape, or at the very least to save their only daughter. On the day of the coup when the war was set to start there was a festival planned, a festival that came and went every decade where Ash was swapped from the hospitality of one country to the other. So the night before the festival she and her parents devised a plan to get out, in the midst of all the hasty last minute preparations Ash would slip out of the kingdom to the border land and wait for her parents who would also escape in the resulting chaos of losing the princess. She was to wait for her parents at a rendezvous point far outside the kingdom limits and together they'd move on to find some place where they could live together peacefully, but if her parents did not arrive at the rendezvous point within 6 hours she was to leave and never go back. Unbeknownst to Ash her parents would never make it to that rendezvous point, nor had they planned to, their plan all along was to assure their daughter's safety by acting as decoys and keeping attention on themselves long enough for Ash to escape the kingdom safely. Knowing they would die in the process they made her swear not to return lest their sacrifice be in vain. And so the family parted ways to prepare for the next day, in the morning everything went just as planned. There was just enough day of the festival commotion going on that Ash was able to disguise her self and slip out of the castle with relative ease, once out of the castle it was easy to escape the kingdom and find the rendezvous point. And so she sat and waited...waited long past the six hour time restraint...waited past twelve hours...she couldn't bring herself to leave without her parents so despite her promise she turned and went back to the kingdom. What she found there shocked and disgusted her. Even amidst the violent toils of war she saw them, the mangled bodies of her parents strewn aside near the center of the battle field on the edge of the island where the land met the water they lay, dead. The rest of the world was irrelevant as she floated to the edge of the island staring at the mangled bodies of her parents the war seemed to freeze as they watched their secret weapon waltz back into their hands. She however wanted nothing to do with their petty war as she stopped on the island and knelt down between her parents, she looked down at their joined hands and cupped them in her own as gold tears dripped down her cheeks staining them as she brought those hands to her lips and hiccuped softly leaning down between the bodies hugging them close wishing there was a way to bring them back. During this emotional scene the leaders of both sides approached her, wary of the others intentions each were going to try to win her and bring her to their side. But as soon as they spoke they quickly regretted it, she didn't want to be consoled by the likes of them, she wanted her parents back. The parent's they'd taken from her, she turned around and her golden eyes flashed white as there was a distinct cracking sound and before anyone knew what had happened the bodies of the two generals toppled to the ground, their heads twisted all the way around and necks broken in several places. But Ash hadn't moved, so both sides assumed one of the other side had attacked their leader...so the war continued just as violently as before. Ash remained by her parent's sides still holding them close feeling her mind slowly numbing she laid her head down between them as a thought struck her "I'll sing you a song...I'll bring you peace...it's okay...but first...it's too loud here." And that was the final thought before her mind went blank, everything her sight went white only to come too an unaccountable sequence of time later she found herself sitting between the bodies singing. She looked around there was nothing...nothing but the impending feel of death all around, apart from her and the bodies of her parents there was nothing else no bodies, and not even the sound of her own voice. Nothing but her parents bodies, herself, and silence. The silence, loneliness, and mental shock slowly took it's toll and drove her insane. She became hostile and self destructive eventually falling into an insanity driven coma. She was eventually awakened by a group of explorers from the mainlands, she was shocked and had no idea how long she'd been unconscious, also to her surprise the silence seemed to have gone away, She could hear again just like before. Despite he recovered hearing her body was weak and could hardly move, but the naive explorers thought she was an amazingly beautiful creature and realized she was in need of help so they took her back on her ship and nursed her back to health. In exchange for their hospitality she lead them through perilous storms and on long voyages effortlessly, she was their good luck charm. But alas with all humans these men died, but Ash remained and she took the skills these men had taught her paired with her curiosity and explored the world for many generations. Traveling far and wide across every plain and remote alcove she could. She learned new tricks and gained the ability to disguise herself as a human, she used it to blend in and used her abilities to learn new things, worked he way up in many societies with ease and found entertainment in the company of many famous people both human and monster alike. So it was only fitting that after a few millennium of exploring and socializing she heard of an academy for young monsters that was looking for a history teacher...who better to make history fun than someone who explored the world over and left nothing unquestioned. She applied for the position and got the job and is now happy to spread her experiences to other youthful monsters on the way to starting their own adventures through life.

Personality: A nurturing and helpful young woman always content with helping both her colleagues and her students whenever she's needed in any way she can. She enjoys seeing the playful innocent side of her students as it shows her that the world isn't completely corrupted yet and that there can still be hope so long as the youth are still excited to make a change. Being a Siren she naturally attracts people of both gender, she doesn't mind either and tends to be a bit of a mischievous tease particularly to people who's reactions she finds amusing. She has a habit of unintentionally using her voice to affect people, but usually it's in a calming manor so it's relatively helpful anyway. She has a sadistic side but it usually only shows in very rare occasions, or when someone threatens something dear to her. All in all she's a laid back, helpful, charming woman who simply wants the best for her students.

She sleeps listening to a music box she had hand made for her many centuries ago that plays a song her mother used to use to sing her to sleep as she can't fall asleep if it's too quiet
