Dossier

Following
family tradition, Chief Williams enlisted in the Alliance Marines
directly out of high school and was assigned to the Recruit Training
Depot in Macapá, Brazil.
During training, she certified proficient
with the standard-issue M7 Lancer assault rifle and light and standard
weight combat hardsuits. She completed certification in zero-gravity
combat aboard the Rakesh Sharma Orbital Platform in Earth geosynchronous
orbit. For Hostile Environment Assault Training, she was assigned to
Fort Charles Upham on Saturn's moon, Titan. She was awarded a
commendation for her bold assault technique in a field exercise
simulating an attack on turian point defense emplacements.
Drill
Instructor Gunnery Chief Ellison noted her steadfast endurance and
aggressive instincts, and promoted her to the role of squad leader.
After observing her effective tutelage of the less skilled members of
her training unit, he promoted her to platoon guide. She maintains a
friendly correspondence with DI Ellison.

Chief Williams is from a
large family - she is the oldest of four sisters (in order of birth,
Ashley, Abby, Lynn, and Sarah)Every year since enlistment, she has used
her mandatory week of leave to visit her family on Amaterasu. In 2181,
she made an exceptional request for a week-long leave of absence from
her posting at the Czarnobóg Fleet Depot, citing family issues.

Chief
Williams has served in a number of ground force garrisons on Alliance
colony worlds and industrial outposts. She repeatedly requested transfer
to a shipboard posting, but each request was denied without comment by
her superiors.  After the Geth attack on Eden prime Captain
Anderson transferred Chief Williams to the SSV Normandy where she served
under Commander Shepard, she helped play a major part in stopping Saren
and his Geth during the siege of the Citadel. In doing so Chief
Williams was promoted from Gunnery Chief to Operation's Chief and is
known as ''a Alliance hero''. Of recent Chief Williams file is
classified.

Personal Observations

Chief
Williams' old unit (the 212) had logged unanimous positive feedback on
her leadership in fitness review cycle. Private Nirali Bhatia
praised her focus on team-building exercises and "tough but fair"
discipline.
Williams is a reliable and dedicated noncommissioned
officer, but her service in rear-area garrisons had prevented her from
gaining actual combat experience until she helped Commander Shepard in
saving Eden prime from the Geth where her skills in combat were
noticed by Captain Anderson, Kaidan Alenko and Commander Shepard. Her
aggressive instincts and tendency to speak bluntly are suitable for a
field unit, but might lead to complications if her duties require her to
interact with civilians. Additionally, her political opinions may be
problematic, given the focus on improving relations with the Citadel.

Some Ashley fanfiction by Badpie www.fanfiction.net/u/1927101/Badpie

Here are some Ash quotes, thanks again to Funkcase for posting them:

Ashley: I didn't know you speak corporate.
Shepard: All
you do is shove a stick up your ass and care more about money than
people.
Ashley: That would be a waste of a fine ass, sir.

''Why
is it that whenever someone says with all due respect, they really mean
kiss my ass?"

Ashley Williams: Huh. Nobody died.
Kaidan
Alenko: I could shoot someone if it would make you feel better.
Ashley
Williams: Nah, I'm good.

''Huh if the Geth are trying to find
god i will be happy to speed them up on there way.''

''Get up to
the bridge skipper, ive got other weapons to check out...Hey skipper
before you go i just wanna say.....you know what? Im not telling.... you
wanna hear this your just gonna have to come back to me.''

''Subtle
as a boot to the face.''

''Just becuase i can drill you between
the head from a hundred meters dosent mean i cant like sensative stuff!
..Just dont spread it around''

''nothing like a nice stroll on
the beach Blastin Bad guys with ma Boomstick"

"Damed if you do,
damed if you don't"
"Sir do you think you shot him enough?'

Shepard:
"It's good to know where i stand with the galaxy, where do i stand with
YOU?"
Ashley: "About a meter away........sorry, i'll be serious."

"Commander
Shepard.Captain of the Normandy. The first human Spectre. Savior of the
Citadel, You're in the presence of a god Delan. Back from the dead."

Shepard:
What if I ordered you to kiss someone else?
Ash: Well if you ordered
me to kiss a surperior officer that would be in violation of the regs.
So I would be forced to decline and relieve you of duty....... sir.

Shepard:
"We've got oceans, beautifull women, this emotion called love,
according to the old vids we have everything they want.
Ashley: "If
you expect to get me in a tin foil mini skirt and thigh-high boots, I'm
gonna need dinner first... Uh... sir... "
Kaidan: "That'll be enough,
Chief."
Shepard: "At ease luitenant, cant see her in a skirt
anyway."
Ashley: "Damn straight, you cant!"


Shepard: "The
geth are perfect ambushers, Williams. They don't make noise, they don't
move, they don't even breathe!"
Ashley: "Sir, they have flashlight
heads"


"I'm a hellcat off the battlefield too....Sleep tight
Shepard."

Shepard: Shut up and get over here.
Ash: *playfully*
Make me.

Shepard: You still sassin' me soldier? I think you need
more physical training.
Ash: Tsk. Now what will it take to prove I'm
in prime physical condition?

"bold words Shepard, i like bold"

Shepard:
Think I should go talk to Wrex?
Ash: Well it couldn't hurt...
well... maybe a little

"Wait...you survived because you're
*lazy*?!"

Kaidan Alenko: When you put it that way, there's no
reason they wouldn't like you. I mean, us! Humans! Ma'am.
Ashley
Williams: You don't take much shore leave, do you, L-T?

Kaidan
Alenko: I can see why this place is so popular, it's got quite the..
uh....view.
Ashley Williams: Hey LT, put your tounge back in your
mouth before you trip on it.

Ashley Williams: So you still
intrested in me, baggage and all..
Commander Shepard: Everyone has
baggage Ash, the trick is to have a matching set.
Ashley Williams:
*slight giggle* That's awful, please tell me you got that out of a
fortune cookie.

''You are tottaly shameless, you need your own
line of greetings cards *giggles*''

Ashley: *sarky* it's a noble
goal, to bad most of your members are just racists!

''Where you
at Shanxi?! If not then shut your pie hole!

Shepard: What do you
want Chief?..
Ashley: Would'nt mind a foot massage sir....sorry, i
will be serious.

''I dont need money, a knight in shining armor
or a man to make me happy, this is who i am....i like her *with a smile*
and you best too''

''A Williams has to be better than the best,
if only to avoid suspicion''
Ashley: Thats when it struck me ''im the
first person to ever of stood her'' then my drill instructor kicked me
in the ass, he spent the next 20 minutes chewing me out for
goldbricking.
Shepard: Dont tell me you had Gunney Ellison *laughs*
he's the only person i know who uses that term to describe shirking
duty.
Ashley: *giggles* Ow lord, you went to the Macapá boot camp
too?

Ashley's a tough sale. Alot of us didn't like how the Horizon discussion played out... so even those of us that were fans in ME1 are kinna... on the fence (to say the least).

Nope, Ashley is just annoying, pure and simple, if shes not whining, shes on everyone's regret list for not leaving her on Virmire.

In the ME1 forums? Conrad Verner played a larger role in ME2 than she or Kaidan did.

I found her to be an interesting character, especially the fact she seems to get over her xenophopia toward the end of the game, we need to see her romance resolved in ME3 for those of us who stayed faithful to her

I actually found myself asking why I didnt sacrifice her on Virmire? She was kind of a pointless whiny b*tch in ME1 and even more so in ME2.

Only reason I didnt leave her on Virmire was that her skills beat Kaidens in the early stages, so I kept her for a soldier, that and I prefer solid classes rather than hybreds. Regret that.

Ashley cleared her family name on Virmire and is known as a hero of the Alliance postmortem and that's how we like it! She's also been known to say: "Humans, aliens, we're all just animals" If you get rid of her anti alien view maybe.

Ash gets my vote. She was an interesting character once you got to know her. Also, we got to "see more" of her during the romance scene than any other character in ME2 so that's nice, lol. I actually watched that scene on YouTube again the other day. It's actually quite touching, really.



Seriously though, I remained faithful to her in ME2, so hopefully she'll be back in ME3.

Ashley is great, by far one of my favourite characters and best love interest imo. Those of us who stayed faithfull to her in me 2 will be rewarded in me 3 i hope! I certainly did. Holding her picture before going into the Omega 4 relay, the email from her and the brief encounter plus hug on horizon all gives the relationship hope, and it seems one of the most interesting relationships in the game, and i personally love her!!

Ashley is absolutely flat. She's one of the poorest characters ever designed by Bioware. In the attepmt to make her a "fiery, self confident woman" they went overboard and managed to turn her into a barking dog. Even her (few) emotional moments were just awkward as a result.

Honestly the fact that her role in ME2 was negligible was good riddance. Hopefully she will have an equally secondary role in ME3.

I don't care what you all say, Ashley is f'ing hot! Definately sucks she's not in me2 besides that disappointing convo on horizon. (as far as i have seen through the campaign so far anyway).



Although, once i accepted the fact that ashley isn't gonna be my romantic interest.....miranda is looking hotter by the second. rebound maybe?

I thought Ash, in ME1, was one of the best characters ever created by Bioware,



However, after her Horizon discussion, I had no hesitation in romancing Miranda. Ash's later written communication did hint at regret and a change of heart, which leads me to conclude/hope that she will return in ME3, with a larger role and the opportunity to regain Shepherd's affections.



The character of Ash does tend to inspire strong feelings and I hope that ME3 will see her becoming part of Shepherd:s team

I get the impression that the Ash supporters are not as vocal as those who like Tali, or don't like Ash.



I'm pretty sure they will bring them back. I can't remember where I read it, but Bioware said that it'll be interesting to see how many people remain loyal to their ME1 LIs after you meet Miranda and so forth in ME2. What would be the point in loyalty if you never meet them again? Here's hoping...

I agree, i personally had and still have strong feelings for Ash, the romance in me 1 was extremely well done, and the emotional choice of  either saving her or Kaiden and all the other things you go through together in the first game adds even more to the relationship.

Personally im hoping that the small role in me 2 is a test for all the people that actually love Ashley, and that we will all be rewarded for staying faithfull in me 3. There are enough hints to indicate the relationship definately isn't over, Ashley clearly still has feelings for you, the encounter on Horizon and the email from her clearly show that, holding her photo before going into the Omega 4 relay is the icing on the cake and hopefully indicates the relationship is far from over.

I know there are alot of Ashley haters, but i personally think she is one of those kind of characters you either love or hate, if you actually bother to take a deep interest in her you find that she is indeed a deep and well thought out character, and personally one of my definate favourites in mass effect, lets all hope for a large squad role and romance for Ashley in Mass Effect 3!!! <3 :wub:

I'll throw in my vote.

The writer team screwed us over in this game. I mean did you see the answers you could give her on Horizon? No wonder she's angry (Not that her reaction to seeing you where that brilliantly written). Here's hoping that they won't screw us in ME3.

I liked Ashley alot in ME1. Honestly she was the best written romance. Poetic and funny.

In ME2 my like for her went out the airlock after Horizon. The only way she'll be part of my Shepard's crew in ME3 will be if forced. She blew it with him.
