Appearance

Ashi as a child

Ashi and all of the members of the Daughters of Aku shared the same appearance. All of them have big eyes and wear a black suit. When undercover, they usually wear a mask to conceal their own identities.

The only difference between Ashi and all members of Daughters of Aku is that all of them have different hairstyles. Ashi's hair is combed up to a single point.

Personality

Ashi seemed to possess a curiosity about the world when she was younger. She was clever enough to go after the archer first in her final test, making the task much easier.

Biography

Ashi and her six sisters were birthed from The High Priestess, leader of an all female cult of Aku, and raised as assassins by them to do what no other fighter could do: destroy Samurai Jack. They were put through the most brutal of training through their lives, designed to sculpt them into the ultimate warriors. During her training as a child, Ashi found an opening to gaze upon the outside world. The High Preistess told her that the world was a creation of their master, Aku, and that it was under threat so long as Jack lived to Aku's rule. She was then thrown back to train and received punishment. When their training was complete, they donned the masks and head coverings, and set out to fulfill their mission.
