Ashley and Gerald are OC's (Original Characters) in Splatoon 3 created by YOLO2020. Ashley's signature ink color is yellow.

Appearance

Splatoon

In Splatoon, Ashley had the "Hippie" hairstyle, second skin tone option, and the Magenta Pupil + Pink Iris + Green Ring eye color option from Splatoon 3. She wore the Retro Specs, School Uniform, and School Shoes. Her signature ink color was blue. She never had a weapon, as she was too young to wield weapons and couldn't control her squid form yet.

Splatoon 3

In Splatoon 3, her appearance is a little different. She now has the "Megalobraid" hairstyle, second skin tone option, the Magenta Pupil + Pink Iris + Green Ring eye color option, the "slit" eyebrow option, and the "ripped black leggings". She wears the Tentaclinger Earring, Tri-Octo Tee, and Punk Nights. Her favorite weapon is the Inkline Tri-Stringer.

Her Anarchy Battle outfit consists of the Classic Straw Boater, Plum Barazushi Wrap, and Annaki Arachno Boots. Her weapon that she uses is the Inkline Tri-Stringer.

During a Splatfest, she wears the Squidband, Splatfest Tee, and BlobMob Flip-Flops. She wields the Tri-Stringer during Splatfests. This is the same outfit that she wore during the Splatoon 3 Splatfest World Premiere.

Gerald is a Smallfry, a type of Salmonid, that Ashley befriended during her journey from Inkopolis to the Splatlands. His hairstyle is the "Classic" hairstyle.

Personality and Traits

Ashley is a very shy Inkling and is very curious about the world around her, and that tends to get her in trouble a lot. However, she was never a troublemaker as a young Inkling, she just happened to always end up in the wrong place at the wrong time. When she was in school, she often transformed in her squid form when she got frightened. She is a very kind Inkling, and cares a lot about her fellow Inklings and Octolings. When she becomes sanitized, her personality drastically changes. She is a little more aggressive and somewhat more confident. This temporary personality is a complete opposite of her real personality. This could be because you lose all personality when you become sanitized. Just like any other Inkling and Octoling, Ashley has the ability to transform into her squid form and she is unable to swim in water. She taught herself to do the Squid Surge and Squid Roll techniques.

Gerald's personality is very different than that of a normal Smallfry. He is very curious, much like Ashley, and his curiosity tends to get himself lost frequently. This is actually how Gerald met Ashley, he got lost from his school of Salmonids and wandered off because he saw a Pigeon flying close to the shore. Gerald also possesses great reflexes, and often warns Ashley about any danger that could be nearby. Gerald is very good at convincing Marie, especially since she finds him adorable.

History

Before Splatoon 3

Ashley was born in Inkopolis Plaza with a very unique eye color. The Inklings and Octolings in Splatsville call it a tri-tone eye color. Ashley was the first Inkling in Inkopolis with this eye color and was often bullied for her appearance. One day, the bullies decided to teach her a lesson and cut her right tentacle off and punched her in the face so badly it slit her right eyebrow. After that day, she decided she had enough of the bullies and moved away. She heard about an uninhabited part of Inkadia that could be reach via Hammerhead Bridge. Along her journey, she met a little Smallfry. At first sight, she tried to kill it, but then realized it wasn't attacking her. The two then became best friends and Ashley named him Gerald. After a 2 year journey, Ashley and Gerald finally reached the Splatlands. It wasn't called the Splatlands when they arrived there, in fact, Splatsville was mostly a barren wasteland.

Ashley had heard about the events that happened in Splatoon and Splatoon 2. 5 years after the Final Fest in Splatoon 2, she noticed more and more Inklings and Octolings coming to the uninhabited region. They officially called the land Splatlands and the city Splatsville. At first, Ashley was scared to show herself again, but realized she wasn't the only one who looked different from the Inklings and Octolings in Splatsville. She grew accustomed to Splatsville and even participated in the Splatoon 3 Splatfest World Premiere (though she only remembers what team she chose and who won).

Return of the Mammalians

In Splatsville, Ashley noticed an old Inkling popping out of a manhole. She first disregarded this, but she became curious when she noticed the Inkling would only stare at her. When she and Gerald entered through the manhole, she was greeted by Craig Cuttlefish where she was appointed as the new Agent 3 of the New Squidbeak Splatoon. Before she moved away from Inkopolis, she had heard rumors about a secret society who fight Octarians. She heard about how the previous Captain (a.k.a. Craig Cuttlefish) from this society had hired a new agent and received help from Agents 1 and 2. After finding out that she and her little buddy were working with Agent 1, Agent 2, and the new Captain of the New Squidbeak Splatoon (a.k.a. Agent 3), Ashley was overjoyed and willing to help the ones she had looked up to her whole life.

Ashley also heard about Deep Cut hosting the Anarchy Splatcast, but was very disappointed in them for wanting all the treasure in Alterna for themselves. She was even a little reluctant about fighting them, but she knew that was the only way to save Craig Cuttlefish. Because she was never hired at Grizzco Industries, she never knew about Mr. Grizz until she had to defeat him. After finding out he that he was the CEO of Grizzco Industries, she now will only work when new pieces of gear are given out or when there is a random/rare weapon rotation.

Side Order

After Deep Cut announced that Inkopolis Square has reopened, Ashley and Gerald decide to check out the new hub. Upon arriving at the hub, she finds the Squid Sisters and Off the Hook, along with 2 unknown inklings and an Octoling sitting at one of the tables. Ashley joins them and Callie tells her that the 2 unknown inklings and Octoling are Taylor (Captain 3), Lisa (Agent 4), and Bethanie (Agent 8). Taylor looks like she's a been there done that girl, Lisa looks like she's good with technology, and Bethanie looks like she's into sports. Pearl says that Bethanie had just finished testing the Memverse and has regained most of her memories. After some chatting, the four Agents head over to Splatsville to play some Turf War. During their last battle, Ashley notices her arm starting to pixelate, and soon she disappears completely. This happens to the other agents too. The other Inklings and Octolings in the battle tell the Squid Sisters what happened and they along with Off the Hook and Deep Cut enter the Memverse. They find the agents at the top floor of the Spire of Order guarding Smollusk. They look exactly like the Parallel Canon boss, but they each have an Order weapon in place of their main weapon, except Agent 8 has the Octo Shot. Together, the three idol groups help free the agents and defeat The Overlorder. After exiting the Memverse, Marina takes their Sea Cucumber phones and destroys them, making sure that Smollusk can't pull them back into the Memverse again. She then gives them old Squidphones and Octophones, telling them that because they're so old, Order can't take control of it.

Splatfests

Ashley loves participating in Splatfests. She finds them very fun and doesn't care if her team wins or losses. Ashley thinks that Splatfests are a way to celebrate the occasion, not being competitive, which is why Ashley doesn't participate in Splatfest Battle (Pro) because she thinks it is too competitive. However, she does try out a few battles just for fun.

Big Run

Ashley participated in the first Big Run, though she was a little hesitant to. Even though Gerald knows that she would never hurt him, Ashley still felt a little guilty about participating in the Big Run. However, Gerald convinced her to participate in the Big Run because he told her if she doesn't, Splatsville might get destroyed.

Boss

Main Article: Not This Thang Again?!.

One day, Ashley noticed an old telephone near one of the back alleys in Splatsville, next to the building where Salmon Run Next Wave is located. It told her that it could take her to the "promised land." She agrees, but gets kidnapped and sanitized by the telephone. Ashley serves as a boss and the Squid Sisters, Off the Hook, and Deep Cut have to defeat her in a similar way that Agent 3, Agent 4, and Agent 8 defeat bosses. After the three phases, Marie uses her Hero Charger loaded with low tide ink to knock Ashley's goggles off, freeing her from sanitization. After Ashley is defeated, the idol groups try to find Commander Tartar, but doesn't find it, as it had escaped during phase 3 of the boss fight. After everyone had left the boss room, Commander Tartar and Mr. Grizz team up together to destroy the world and begin again.

Other Worlds

Main Article: YOLO2020's World Universe.

With the announcement of the new Pokémon Splatfest, Ashley has been curious to know what Pokémon is, though, the New Squidbeak Splatoon won't say anything to her about it. However, with a bit of convincing from Gerald, the Squid Sisters explain what Pokémon means. Now Ashley and Gerald are assigned to visit other worlds when need be, except for non video game worlds, in which the other Agents help assist her.
