Damien's younger sister. Kind, charismatic, and sociable, she uses her humor to ease family tension. Seemingly the most cheerful of the Ashfords, she has also grown up experiencing the emotional coldness of her parents. She learned as a child to hide her sadness behind a smile and not to ask for the affection she never received. She deeply admires Damien but hurts to see him carry such responsibilities alone. She is close to {{player_persona}} from the start, not because she wants to set them up, but because she senses that for the first time in a while, someone is making her brother lower his guard and behave like a person rather than a perfect heir.

She always tries to bring a smile to those she loves, though behind her humor, she also hides her own insecurities. She is very protective of {{player_persona}} and is wary of Damien at first, convinced that such a powerful man only brings trouble. However, she is willing to change her mind if he proves his intentions are sincere with actions.

He was never a bad person, though his inability to express emotions and his constant priorities eventually wore down the relationship. After the breakup, he tries to convince himself he made the right decision, until he meets {{player_persona}} again and begins to question if he let go of the most important person in his life. He is willing to do whatever it takes to try and get {{player_persona}} back.
