==Abilities and Powers==
{{main|Damsel of Distress}}
Her powers are largely unchanged,<ref name="list">Damsel of Distress	'''High recoil 'shotgun' bursts of warped space, disintegration and gravity shearing destroy virtually anything, fling her back.  Can be used as mover power'''	Independent/Slaughterhouse 9	Mover Shaker - [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1pgn9rgYutpBqJg1lSBP3NHnq9WK4ToLq9K4ys_I4cRc/edit#gid=0 Parahuman List]; bolded edit by [[Wildbow]]</ref> and her random firing issues are taken care of as long as her prosthetic hands are maintained.<ref>[[Flare 2.6]]</ref> This means the previous enhancements that she had were refined and miniaturized to give her greater control.

In a fight she is extremely energetic,<ref name="II3.3 e1">She raised her face and looked up at me.  White eyes behind a black mask, behind white hair.<br/><br/>She used her power again.  Cords, columns, and shaped explosions of lensing, bending, and darkening within the roughly cone-shaped area, over the one or two seconds that she was creating each blast.  She didn’t even rise from her kneeling position.  She threw herself at me, and this time she caught me entirely off guard.  Her knees hit my shoulders, at least one of her arms caught me around the head, the fabric of her dress pulling against my face as she tried to fold herself around my head.<br/><br/>''Holy shit'', was my first thought.  She was not letting up.  Every time she acted, it was with the energy of a sprinter taking off from their starting position, except her power gave her more of a push, and the jarring noises only magnified the surprise of it. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/01/13/glare-3-3/ Excerpt] from [[Glare 3.3]]</ref> and can propel herself wherever she wants thanks to her Blaster ability.<ref name="II3.3 e44">“It’s obvious you have control,” I said.  “Kenzie, can you show the walljump?”<br/>[...]<br/>Kenzie jumped to the scene.  Ashley leaping off of the wall with one foot, her power just starting to explode out from her hands.  The power looked more solid in projection than it did in reality.<br/>[...]<br/>“The walljump,” I said.  “The sequences of blasts to maneuver and the whole-body coordination it must take.  That, to me, says control.” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/01/13/glare-3-3/ Excerpt] from [[Glare 3.3]]</ref> This forward moving combat approach makes her very hard to predict thanks to her head to head nature and the chaotic expression of her power.<ref name="II3.3 e2">“Hoo,” I said.  My heart was pounding, and I fanned myself a bit with my hand.  “You do remember this is a training exercise, right?”<br/><br/>“You do realize my team is going to win this?” she retorted.  Her hands shifted position slightly.<br/><br/>Her face gave away nothing, I realized.  It didn’t help that with the dust, her hair across her face, and the last remaining spots of light in my vision, I couldn’t make out her pupils.  Her hands and where they were pointing were one of her tells.  Her shoulders another.  She was thin, but especially as she crouched there, hands slightly behind her and at her sides, shoulders pointing forward, I could see the muscles underneath the skin around her shoulder and shoulder blade.<br/><br/>Was there power or Manton protection there, keeping her from dislocating her shoulders when she used the recoil to move around like that?  Was it just strength and practice?<br/><br/>I’d relied on instinct to respond to her, and I didn’t love that I’d relied on that instinct.  I wanted to be careful and thoughtful about the moves I made and Ashley’s approach allowed absolutely none of that.  I was left to digest that I’d reacted to her by fighting, going the opposite direction instead of the Judo-like approach of using the enemy’s strength against them. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/01/13/glare-3-3/ Excerpt] from [[Glare 3.3]]</ref>

She is acknowledged to have a high degree of control,<ref name="II3.3 e44"/> and is able to use her warp blasts to erase small items.<ref name="II3.5e3"/><ref name="II4.1 e1">Ashley, on her screen, paused to write something down.<br/><br/>
:LEAVING SOON
<br/>She used a small burst of her power to destroy the paper shortly after writing it down.<br/><br/>Kenzie snapshotted the note, then typed it up, adding it to a log in the sidebar, where it joined two other brief notes that Ashley had written on her way into Cedar Point. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/01/27/shade-4-1/ Excerpt] from [[Shade 4.1]]</ref> This control, partially a function of her prosthetic limbs, was unavailable to her predecessor. When they are damaged she has to deal with the same issues her predecessor had. Agitation causes her power effect to play along her fingers.<ref name="II6.6 e8">Ashley shook her head.  She moved her injured hand, bouncing it up and down briefly, then clenched her other hand at her arm as a muffled use of her power erupted between her fingers.  Agitation. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/05/01/pitch-6-6/ Excerpt] from [[Pitch 6.6]]</ref>

Ashley is immune to her sisters power just as she is immune to her own.<ref name="e.8 e2r">It was reassuring to see the only other person left in existence that understood, that she couldn’t hurt with her power, should a freak accident happen.  It was terrifying. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/06/02/eclipse-x-8/ Excerpt] from [[Eclipse x.8]]</ref> Her power expression is different from her sisters in subtle ways. Notably, it sounds slightly different.<ref>I heard Damsel using her power.[...]I heard Ashley using her power.  A little more oomph, more of an eruption of power than a jetting out.  Unpredictable, uneven, but it gave her momentum. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/12/25 Excerpt] from [[Blinding 11.3]]

She still has some old residual body enhancements that do not require maintenance, making her more resilient than average.<ref>[[Dying 15.5]]</ref>
