* [[A Date with Rosie Palms]]: If you're male, romance her but refuse her seduction attempt, Ashley will mention finding her own entertainment [[Firefly|in her bunk]].
* [[Action Girl]]: Of all of the characters in ''[[Mass Effect (video game)|Mass Effect 1]]'', only Wrex can match her for sheer toughness, and no one is as adept with weapons as her. This continues in ''[[Mass Effect 3]]'', where her skills are mostly focused on dealing damage (as opposed to James, the other soldier character, whose skills are more focused on survivability).

* [[Determinator]]: Due to her grandfather being the only human to surrender to alien forces, the entire military hates her and assigns her to the lowest and most degrading posts they can. Despite this, she signed up for the Alliance anyway to help redeem her family name.
