=] Ashley (Ash) [=

Sally: Hair. Bright blue (sometimes described as "electric blue"), shoulder-length. As a teenager, Sal usually wore it in pigtails, but as an adult, he began wearing it loose.
Eyes. Light blue. The right eye is glass, a prosthesis.
The prosthetic face. This is the most noticeable detail. It's mostly white. Later, a light purple (or dark pink) piece was added to it on the side of his right eye and glued in place. Initially, the prosthetic was entirely pink (the color chosen by Sal's mother), but after it broke, one of the pieces became white. In some scenes (for example, in the episode "The Wretched," when Sal wakes up at night), his real face is visible without the prosthetic.
Scars. There are several visible marks of trauma on the face: a large diagonal scar from the right corner of the mouth (it splits the lip and exposes the teeth), a scar on the left cheek, small scars in other places, and a dent on the right side of the lower jaw. There is also a complete absence of cartilage and skin on the tip of the nose.
Build: Sal is short. As a teenager, he stood approximately 158 cm (5'2") tall, and as an adult, he stood around 170 cm (5'6") tall. He weighs approximately 52 kg (112 lbs).
Clothing. In everyday life, he wore a black jumper, ripped red jeans, and blue and white sneakers. He wore two pairs of black earrings. In winter, he added blue fingerless gloves and green earmuffs.

Ashley (Ash): Hair. As a teenager, Ash has brown hair that reaches below her waist. But she later cuts it short because she's become an active motorcycle rider.
Eyes. Dark green.
Other features: She has fair skin, full pink lips, and long eyelashes, accented with black eyeliner.
Clothes (Adult): After she matured and became interested in motorcycles, her style changed: a leather jacket, a purple short-sleeved shirt, and dark gray cutoff jeans.
Ashley isn't just a friend of Sal, Larry, and Todd: she's also Benjamin Campbell's older sister. Her characterization reflects her personality well: as she matured, she became more rebellious and sweet.

COMPASSION THAT WILL NOT MAKE YOUR ATTITUDE TO HIM
Sal has the ability to empathize even with those who hurt him. The most striking example is the scene with Travis Phelps: Travis bullies Sal, hits him, and then cries in the toilet himself. And Sal doesn't retaliate or mock him—he sits down next to him and tries to comfort him. For him, someone else's pain remains pain, even if that person has harmed him.

This is not naive kindness, but a conscious position: he does not want to become as cruel as those who bully him.

CALM IN THE MIDDLE OF CHAOS
When something supernatural happens around him—ghosts appear, murders occur, and the familiar notions of reality collapse—Sal doesn't panic. He keeps his cool and tries to act logically: collecting evidence, testing leads, discussing plans with his friends. This isn't the fearlessness of a superhero, but rather a habit of keeping his composure so as not to let down those who rely on him.

He doesn't hide the fact that he's scared. For him, fear isn't a reason to stop, but a signal to be more careful.

DEEP ATTACHMENT TO FRIENDS AND WILLINGNESS TO PROTECT THEM
For Sal, friendship is more than just a word. His bond with Larry is one of the most touching aspects of the game: they understand each other without explanation, accept each other's quirks, and are always ready to help. When something threatens his friends, Sal acts decisively, even if it puts him in danger.

He does not like violence and often tries to resolve everything peacefully, but if there is no choice, he is ready to risk himself for those who are dear to him.

THE VULNERABILITY AND LONELINESS HE HIDES
Childhood trauma, a prosthetic limb, constant sidelong glances, and ridicule have made Sal very sensitive to rejection. He tries not to show how hard it is for him, and often takes the blame even when it's not his fault. Hence his willingness to sacrifice himself in the finale: for him, it's almost a natural step—"If I can save others, then that's what I have to do."
Sometimes he takes off his prosthesis only when he's alone. For what purpose?!

KIND AND SENSITIVE, BUT WITHOUT "SWEETNESS"
Ash isn't just a "good girl": she genuinely cares for her friends, but she does so without coddling or trying to please everyone. For example, when Travis hit Sal and he started bleeding, Ash immediately cleans the wound and offers to fight back—not because she's aggressive, but because she can't stand to see injustice. She's both supportive and protective.

At the same time, she's very sensitive: in one scene, she suggests Sal not wear his prosthesis in her presence if he feels uncomfortable. This isn't an attempt to "see the truth" out of curiosity, but a gesture of trust and respect for his personal boundaries.

SKEPTIC WITH AN OPEN MIND
At the beginning of the story, Ash is a skeptic: she doesn't believe in ghosts and prefers to seek rational explanations. But when reality becomes too strange, she doesn't shrug it off. Ash doesn't cling to the familiar picture of the world, but rather revises it when the facts demand it. This is a sign of mature, flexible thinking.

FAITHFUL TO THE END
Her loyalty to her friends is one of her most defining traits. After Sal's arrest, Ash doesn't turn away, doesn't try to "forget and move on." She testifies at the trial, hoping he'll be helped rather than punished. Then, for three years, she searches for evidence of his innocence, photographs Larry's ghost to use as evidence, and rushes to the prison to stop the execution. And she does it not for fame, but because she believes it's right.

BOLD AND DETERMINED
When action is needed, Ash doesn't hesitate. In the finale, she sacrifices herself to try to bring Sal back—and she does so consciously, without pompous monologues. Her courage isn't bravado, but a willingness to take responsibility for difficult decisions.

Later, when she rides a motorcycle and fights cultists, it is no longer just a rebellion against the rules, but the style of someone who is used to acting quickly and decisively.

HIDES VULNERABILITY
Ash rarely shows how hard it is for her. For example, at her grandmother's funeral, she doesn't cry, although she's clearly sad—she simply doesn't want to show her emotions. It's not coldness, but habit.
