Ash is a Human Peasant woman from Eldraine.
Description
Inspiration
Ash is based on Cinderella of the eponymous folktale. Historically, scholars surmised that the "cinder" part of the name was a reference to her lower class (being often covered in soot), and as such Ash becomes an appropriate pun. The Crystal Slipper is reimagined as her discarded helm, its obscuring design justifying why the prince would use it to locate the mystery woman rather than using shoe size. Ash is given an adoptive family rather than a hostile step-family, and no faerie godmother — the Armory Mice help her of their own accord.
History
A peasant, Ash attended the Grand Ball at Delverhaugh disguised as a knight. The mice had helped her acquire the armor. When she arrived at the party, she was greeted by the handsome Goddric, who asked her to dance. When redcaps raided the party, she stepped in to protect Goddric, before he revealed his true form as a dragon.[1] At the stroke of midnight, she had to flee the party, dropping her helmet in the haste.[2][3]
