Ashley Graves

Physical Appearance

Ashley has light pink eyes and fair skin, but her physical appearance is contrasted with dark clothes. Most of her clothes are black: she wears a black choker with a pendant hanging from it, black ankle socks, and gray denim shorts. She also wears a black top that bares her cleavage; a pair of matching black bra straps can be seen underneath it as a result. While the rest of it is usually covered, her bra itself is shown to have white polka dots and lace on it in some of her official art. Her hair is similarly messy and uncombed; she keeps it tied at the back in a ponytail. Much like the other characters, her in-game sprite is a stoic grayscale pixel-art version of her.

Personality

Ashley exhibits sociopathic and antisocial traits throughout the game. She feels no remorse after committing violent crimes, such as murder and cannibalism. Not only is she verbally violent as well, she's apathetic when it comes to other people's feelings-- even as a child, she felt no remorse for murdering Nina after finding out she had a crush on her brother. She also berated and hounded Julia for dating Andrew, which resulted in them breaking up.

Ashley has demonstrated an unhealthy obsession with Andrew, to the point that she'd do anything if it ensured his continued presence by her side. This jealousy means she has no qualms with killing the people closest to them or indulging him in any of his desires, whether romantic or sexual. As he was her sole caretaker, she became reliant on him because of the neglect her parents imposed on her.

Just like Andrew, she is codependent on her sibling, which leads them to enable each other in their insanity. The toxic relationship means their interactions often border on the extreme, with events such as lengthy conversations about suicide, murder, and incest. However, unlike him, she has a confident, unconcerned, and upbeat attitude which often annoys him.

Background

Ashley is the second child and only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Graves. Since their parents thought she would be "easy" to raise, Ashley's primary caretaker had been Andrew. It is suggested that Ashley did not have a proper and comfortable place at the family's dining table. More than that, Ashley felt constantly neglected and pushed away by her parents. It was Andrew who fulfilled the role of both mother and father for Ashley but, as a child himself, he would spoil her and cater to her every demand in exchange. One of Ashley's fondest memories includes Andrew spending his allowance to buy her lemon muffin cakes for her birthday.

Ashley also had few friends; her only friends, two girls named Nina and Julia, were wary of her yet smitten with her brother. Ashley felt betrayed when Nina confessed to her that she had a crush on Andrew and as such, persuaded Andrew to help her 'teach Nina a lesson.' This lesson involved trapping the young girl in a dusty storage box in an abandoned warehouse, only for the siblings to leave her trapped overnight. The next day, Ashley was surprised but not horrified by Nina dying and helps Andrew hide her body in the nearby forest.

At some point, Andrew started dating Julia and Ashley's friendship with the girl soon fell apart. She would send her numerous voice mails and mailed death threats to insult and harass Julia. According to Andrew, Ashley would also constantly call him and ask him for help that would compel him to cancel on his dates with Julia.

Prior to the events of the game, Andrew and Ashley had to be quarantined alongside their whole apartment building due to a 'parasite infestation' in their water supply. Ashley would then spend the next three months in quarantine with Andrew and starts to starve once they run out of food and their building's wardens stop supplying them with food. She would also attempt to call their mother numerous times, to no avail.

The Coffin of Andy and Leyley

Episode 1: The Coffin

Andrew and Ashley (also known as Andy and Leyley) are full-blooded siblings who were trapped in an apartment due to Pandemic (even doe they were sold by their parents to an organ harvesting scheme because they are selfish little fuck. One day, Ashley starved so much that she wanted to eat a human being. Later, both Andrew and Ashley discovered that their neighbor was a cultist who was hungry like them too. The neighbor tried to summon George Floyd. However, that demon needed a sacrifice which the neighbor didn't have. As a result, the demon took the neighbor's soul. Both Andrew and Ashley witnessed that incident from the neighbor's balcony. They would later break in and mutilate the body of their neighbor so they could eat it. After eating his body, they were planning their escape from the apartment. To do that, they need to kill 2 guards of which one they already killed. Inspired by the cultist, Ashley tried to murder the last guard by sacrificing like that cultist did. They would succeed in the end and escape from the apartment.

Episode 2: Graves

The episode starts in a cafe where Ashley asks Andrew whether she could commit TND by sacrificing all of them to George Floyd. Andrew thought it was impossible and a dumb idea. The day passed and they went to sleep in a motel they currently rented. During their sleep, Ashley had a dream where both of them would be killed by Rapeson. Shocked by this dream, Ashley woke up Andrew so both she and him could save themselves. First, they suspect this Rapeson figure would be a cultist like their neighbor. Andrew then infiltrated a lair that is filled with cultists. He found out that they also tried to summon George Floyd but failed. Laugh at their pathetic attempt, Andrew quit from their lair and went back to the motel. However, Andrew and Ashley found that Rapeson was already inside their motel. Fear of getting murdered by Rapeson, Andrew and Ashley ran to the forest to escape from him. Andrew would later find Rapeson and shoot him to death, steal his car key, and escape using his car along with Ashley. When they were in the car, Ashley, who was saddened by the fact she couldn't commit TND by sacrificing all of them to George Floyd, asked Andrew if she could sacrifice their parents instead. Intrigued by the idea, Andrew agreed with Ashley and drove to their parents' house. After arriving, they broke into their parent's house, tied them up, and sacrifice them to George Floyd. Before cleaning up, Ashley wondered what kind of dream she would receive this time. So she asked Andrew to go for a nap together in their parent's bed. What kind of dreams they receive is dependent on your choice.

Burial

If you choose Andrew to guard his parents and reject their offer, the dream will be both Andrew and Ashley having sex together like you always wanted in the first place (even doe you can choose to not have that dream while keeping the same choice).

Love route

If not, the dream will be Andrew trying to kill Ashley which is a dream that you probably never wanted in the first placeTemplate:CitationNeeded. The story ends with both of them escaping again and will continue in Episode 3.

Friendship route

In this route, the siblings do not get a prophetic vision of them post-coitus. Ashley's vision is merely her interacting with spirits, one of which is implied to be Andrew, and Andrew does not experience any vision. Later on, the two seem to restrain their interactions; they start to set boundaries to their relationship as platonic and familial. Ashley is also bothered by Andrew's apparent distance, but she plays along with his banter.

Decay

When the Graves siblings dine on their parent's corpses after killing them in this route, Ashley will tell Andrew that she ate people's flesh because she believes doing so will make her feel superior to other human beings and she will gain their knowledge and absorb their lives into her.

In this route, Ashley's next vision is interrupted by the presence of an aggressive and hostile Andrew. She attempts to escape, only for Andrew to catch up to her and he holds her at cleaver-point. The route further splits into two, technically three, outcomes: An Andrew route and an Ashley route. An outcome where Andrew kills Ashley, however, is determined by whether or not Andrew spent all of the gun's ammo on the hitman at the start of Episode 2.

Andrew route

If Andrew spent all of the ammo, Ashley is unable to defend herself and Andrew slits her throat. Ashley is terrified upon waking up and resolves to mend their relationship to no avail. Andrew's distance is more hostile, even rude, and Ashley vacillates between provoking him and becoming meek to appease him. After they discard their parents' remains, Ashley is worried about what Andrew would do and if their relationship is still fine.

If Andrew did not spend all of the ammo, Ashley can choose to shoot him or let him kill her. If the player chooses the latter, Ashley teases Andrew before he can kill her. He whispers, "Then I'll see you in a bit," and slits her throat. The rest of events are the same as when Andrew kills Ashley before she can defend herself.

Ashley route

If Andrew did not spend all of the ammo, Ashley can choose to shoot him or let him kill her. If the player chooses the former, Ashley threatens Andrew with the gun before she shoots. She then shoots his corpse multiple times, crying as she does so, and then wakes up. The rest of events are the same as when Andrew kills Ashley in either 'no ammo' or 'with ammo' outcome.

Trivia
