Ignoring her idiotic racism in the first game, can someone please explain to me why Ashley feels the need to be a giant douche to Shepard after ME1? I mean, it seems like she's pretty quick to forget who saved her life not only on Horizon, but also Eden Prime and Virmire, and then saved the galaxy to boot. She could be a bit more grateful like Tali, who I only had to save twice. Instead, she turns around and accuses Shep of treason, as if she had the capacity to compare with Shepard in any way. Then she gets this magic promotion, while still demonstrating just how submissive and crazy she is on Mars. "I know you saved me and the galaxy and all, but I can't forgive you for working with a group that I really have no personal quarrel with."
I mean hell, Cerberus really didn't play a huge part in ME1 anyway
So what's the deal
Look at you you entitled douche. Ashley doesn't NEED you. She seemed to be handling herself just fine on Eden prime, hell she takes out two geth drones singlehandedly and then makes it to cover to prepare to strike at the Geth platforms following her wth her assault rifle. You just happened to be there when she did. She IS grateful when you do that and you help her kill the geth responsible for the death of her entire unit. GRanted you have a point on Horizon, but you're a traitor. You work for Cerberus you idiot. She's an alliane soldier and Cerberus is a terrorist organization that spits in the face of alliane and council law. You don't take her with you so she has no idea what you're doing. Not everyone can commit treason like TAli and get away with it because they're the offspring of an admiral. Speaking of Tali, you might want to look up the definition of racism. Ashley questions letting non-allied aliens like a Turian (just got out of a massive war with them 26 years ago and there's TONS of animosity between the two species) and a Krogan (the galaxy's token criminal race, hell you find Wrex at C-sec after he's been taken in) onboard your race's most advanced ship, hell in ME3 it's revealed that Tali Stole the Normandy's steal tech and brought it back to the migrant fleet, guess that's how she completed her pilgrimmage, way to go Shep you got Alliance tech stolen by another race, Ashley was right.
To Ashley, you FAKED your death and went to work for Cerberus then disappeared. She's not someone outside the Narrative, she does not know what you were doing or who you are loyal to. She dosn't have the lurxury of being on teh outside of the 4th wall. She's one of the most well written charcters in the game. SOMEONE had to question your ties to cerberus. Tali sure doesn't because she joins you despite it being a Cerberus Normandy. She is submissive as she does everything you tell her to, hell she even gives you her authority in the final battle on rannoch. She's not a strong enough character like Ashley is to make her own decisions and have her own life separate from Commander Shepard. Ashley worked through her black listing on her own while you were off working fro a terorist organization responsible for great atrocities. Do your research before spouting lies about a character.
