Ashley Donovan

Ashley Claire Kateri Donovan is one of the protagonists of Moriah Blake. She is depicted as quiet, collected, but easy to annoy.

Character description
Ashley is deep down a caring and loyal person, although she doesn't always let this side show. She often expresses her disapproval regarding certain issues, and doesn't mind giving out her opinions freely.

Interests
Ashley, like Scott, loves the arts, especially theatre and painting. She considers herself an up-and-coming actress, and has been said to posses surprising talent in both singing and acting. Ashley, like most of her family, is very much a part of boating culture and loves sailing.

Character bio
Ashley was too young when her father died to remember it. She was ten when her mother decided that she could no longer care for her and sent her to live with her uncle, Andrew Donovan, her aunt, Linda Donovan, and her cousins, Patrick and Tricia Donovan. Between kindergarten and fourth grade, Ashley was homeschooled by her mother, while Patrick and Tricia were in turn homeschooled by their mother. When Ashley began living with her aunt and uncle, she was enveloped into their homeschool. Ashley lived with her aunt and uncle for two years, until the end of fifth grade, when Linda and Andrew were divorced and Tricia went with her mother to California. She was then enrolled in Moriah Blake Middle School, where she met Scott, Dave, and the rest of her "publischool" friends. Patrick continued to homeschool himself until the beginning of ninth grade, when he joined Ashley at Moriah Blake High School. At the end of eighth grade, Ashley began dating Dave, a relationship that would continue until September of freshman year. She would then go on to pursue a relationship with Austin and Scott before the end of high school.

Beliefs
Ashley was raised in the Catholic Faith by her mother. Her father was never interested in religion, although he was raised in the Jewish faith (he has even admitted to being an agnostic at certain points). Despite her mother's fears, Ashley never lost her faith during her years in public school. She doesn't think it necessary to express her religious beliefs constantly, but she will give them if asked for.
