Magic and a wild personality.
History
Ashley was the only child of duke Dagorad and duchess
Angelise Reiter and took to the throne after her father's death when she was 14 years old.
First marriage
Surprisingly, it was rather difficult for Ashley to find a husband: she initially didn't want to get married and when she finally decided to do so for convenience, rumors had been spreading about her from everything from incest to affairs. These rumors caused lords and dukes' heirs to politely refuse her hand. However, they eventually found Roegner, a small lord who agreed to marry her as it was a big step up for him, even if the rumors were true. Ashley began to have second thoughts though and tried to think of ways to make herself look crazy to get out of it, but all this came to halt when she met Roegner, who was quite handsome. And so, at 17 years old, she married Roegner, who was 7 years her senior, and 2 years later the couple welcomed a daughter, Crysta.
Crysta's 15th Birthday
After Roegner died, Ashley was then proposed to by several other lords.
When Crysta turned 15, Ashley threw a celebration where a number of eligible suitors were invited along with some of their men. Eventually, the man that Crysta had been seeing, a warrior, showed up to claim her. The warrior was attacked by the suitors and their men.
Seeing her lover being threatened, The power of the
White Frost suddenly erupted from Crysta, freezing furniture and people. Crysta finally calmed, and the blizzard stopped. After learning that her daughter and the warrior had been seeing each other for a year and with everything that happened during the feast, she finally agreed to let the couple get married.
