—Ashlynn Ella in "Ashlynn's Fashion Frolic" |
Ashlynn Ella is a 2013-introduced and all-around character. She is part of Cinderella as the next Cinderella, and she is a student at Ever After High. In the destiny conflict, she was on the Royal side, out of general belief that following her destiny is part of her duty, even though she loves Hunter Huntsman who is a Rebel and from a different fairytale. She claims herself as a Rebel in True Hearts Day Part 3, yet this remains unknown whether or not she stands on both sides, since the female narrator still labelled her as a Royal in the webisode, Kitty's Curious Tale.

Character[]
Personality[]
Ashlynn's interests are divided over three topics: shoes, nature, and Hunter Huntsman. She holds a job at The Glass Slipper both to indulge her obsession and to enforce the humble, hard-working attitude her mother instilled in her. Ashlynn enjoys long strolls in the Enchanted Forest and getting her hands dirty with earth and plant material, even if it is not befitting one of royal heritage. She has a unique ability to communicate with animals, who help her out sometimes. She shares this interest with Hunter, whom she dates despite not being allowed to, to the mixed feelings of the other students. Ashlynn is shy and soft spoken but has a big heart and is always ready to help. A huge fan of nature, and animals, she loves to speak to the squirrels and bunnies but also takes time to stop and smell the roses. Ashlynn also likes to be punctual, since if she arrives late her dress transforms into rags. Though she will go from rags to riches like her mother Cinderella, Ashlynn is by no means superficial instead she is humble and down to earth and does not wish to follow her destiny simply because of a pretty ball gown, but instead because she believes it's the right thing. She is very friendly, especially with animals.
Appearance[]
Ashlynn has long strawberry blonde hair mostly pulled into a pumpkin-shaped bump and tied with a braid, though she may also have it in a side braid, a ponytail, or hanging loose. She has emerald green eyes, peach skin and pink lipstick. Her theme colors are aquamarine and coral pink. Ashlynn enjoys combining floral color, or patterns to her outfit, showing that she's a nature enthusiast. Ashlynn is fairly petite, shorter than many characters.
Interests[]
While Ashlynn seems like an archetypal princess at first glance, she is actually a fairly hardworking girl with nature-loving interests that many seem to scoff at. She considers it her responsibility to care for the world around her, likely thanks in part to her magical ability to talk to animals, plants, and other fairy tale creatures that inhabit the forests of the Fairy Tale world. Ashlynn spends much of her free time with Hunter in the Enchanted Forest, either relaxing romantically or caring for the plants and woodland creatures.
Ashlynn also has a notable obsession with shoes, working at the Glass Slipper to indulge her love for footwear.

Friends[]
