I like my drugs just as hard as my liquor, and I like to personally fuck the system every chance that I have. That was a joke. I just like my liquor hard. My personality? That's a pretty hard question to answer. Suppose that I'm a bit more enthusiastic than your average girl, 'specially when you consider my upbringing and all, but that's beside the point. The way I approach things scares a lot of well meaning parents. I've been called unruly, ratty, obnoxious, rude, trashy, horrible, and every other name under the sun. I don't think I'm that bad though. Honestly, I'm decent. Never been arrested, and I never killed a person, so that's proof enough that I'm not as bad as everybody thinks. I admit that I get loud when I talk to other people, that I curse too much, and that I can loose my head. I own up to the belief that I'm not a convenient person, but who gives a shit? I think I can be as loud or different as I damn well please. The only person who should be bothered by that is your mother, and I sure as hell don't plan on talking to her anytime soon. My name's Ash Turner. Nice to meet ya." HISTORY: I suppose that you could say that Ash is a bit like a fish out of water here in Tokyo, Japan when her birth place is taken into account. She was raised in a small town in the state of Texas to her make-up hogging mother, a father that spent more time hunting than raising his children, and three older brothers that could each shoot a gun by the age of eight. The joy of having a little girl finally in the family was practically too much for Ash's mother, and little Ashley herself, to bear. In fact, as soon as she took her first steps, Ash was forced into her first beauty pageant. [STYLE=width:345px; font-family:georgia; color:8D8D8D; font-size:40px; text-transform:lowercase; background-color:bbbbbb; padding:3px; text-shadow: -1px 0 #000, 0 1px #000, 1px 0 #000, 0 -1px #000; letter-spacing:2px; border-left: 10px solid #000000;]OUT OF CHARACTER[/style]You probably know what I'm talking about. The whole Toddlers and Tiaras ordeal that you may see on television was her life, surprisingly enough. She puts the complete blame for 'the way she turned out' on this lifestyle. Normal childhoods create normal children, and Ash was suckered into the life of the 'beautiful' and 'talented' until the age of seventeen. So much of herself was forced to focus strictly on pageants, that she was even 'home schooled', that is, she was told to learn things by her mother, so she'd pick up a book to read when the woman wasn't looking, or look The age of sixteen was when things finally started to change, and did things change violently. Unsatisfied with the same routine over, and over, and over again, Ashley lashed out. The things she had picked up from various novels told her it was time to start over, adopt a new way of living, and star in her own 'coming of age' movie. She experimented with drugs, dyed her hair pink, declared herself an atheist, and refused to respond to the name Ashley any longer, saying that her name was now Ash in opposition to the, and I quote, "feminine bullshit" her mother had named her. But, in order to keep her mother from kicking her out of the house, she continued to participate in beauty pageants until she was halfway through the seventeenth year of her life. Admittedly, moving to Tokyo has been one of the much more... rash, decisions of her life, but Ash's outlook on the way that she lives has the important rule of not regretting any choices she makes. A desire for city life and something completely new is what inspired the choice. So, she began to put her pageant winning money to proper use, buying a few books and kits on how to learn Japanese, applying for citizenship, and eventually buying a plane ticket as soon as she turned eighteen. Perhaps though, she couldn't have arrived at a worst time? The city's chaotic status upon arrival was a bit much for her to immediately take in, and admittedly enough, she is scared, but she doesn't plan on tucking her tail in and running back to Texas. She's determined to learn about and become involved in a culture completely abstract to the one she's known her whole life, and right now, Tokyo, Japan is the perfect place.
