Ashley (アシュリー,Ashley) is a recurring character from theWarioWare series.
Origin[edit]
Ashley is a young witch-in-training who lives in ahaunted mansion inDiamond City, making her debut as an employee of WarioWare, Inc. inWarioWare: Touched! She is typically accompanied by her familiar, a small shape-shifting imp namedRed, who commonly takes the form of her magic wand. Just likeKat and Ana from the same series, in mostWarioWare titles they offer a different short story with a set of microgames to go with it.
Ashley and Red's microgames are generally centered around either using a type of control scheme in a specific way, such as dragging stuff with theNintendo DS touch screen like in their debut game, or sometimes they can all be related to a specific theme around them, such as being related to all kinds of food like inWarioWare: D.I.Y.
Ashley is commonly depicted in her stories as aloof and studious with her magic, though her spells often backfire due to her lack of experience. She is also very quick to anger, though she otherwise shows little emotion. Despite this, her theme song reveals that she considers herself lonely, ultimately wanting to have more friends.
InSuper Smash Bros. Brawl[edit]
Ashley's Song appears in both English and Japanese language versions on theWarioWare, Inc.stage. Ashley also appears as asticker in this game.

Who's the girl next door living in the haunted mansion? You'd better learn her name, 'cause she's Aa-ashley! This little witch loves cursing people, but also wants more friends.
