Name: Ash Silverthistle
Gender: Female.
Race: Human.
Age: 17.
Personality: Ash is socially awkward, nerdy, and kind. She tries to see the good in people and is fairly trusting, but if that trust is violated it is almost impossible to regain it. Ash can be shy at times, and is somewhat naive about the world around her. She spends most of her time outside, and is very good with animals and gardening. Ash can seem a bit like a child at times. Her kind nature makes most people feel the urge to protect her, which leads many people to underestimate her. She doesn't get mad often, but when she does she is truly a force to be reckoned with. She gets angry much faster if someone insults her parents or brings up her brother. She also hates it people treat her like a child based on her appearance and personality, considering she made it into Beacon just like everyone else.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Snow_Queen Color: Silver.
Semblance: Glyphs. Silver Thorne has many different dust crystals embeded in it, and, seeing as it has been passed down from woman to woman in the Silverthistle family, many crystals have been interchanged over the years. Due to this, each woman develops her own preference for which crystals she prefers to use. Ash prefers elemental crystals, like ice and fire.

http://www.highlandtradingcompany.com/images/a223.JPGBio: Ash grew up with her older brother and Grandmother. Her parents, a hunter and a huntress, died when she was very young. She doesn't remember them much, and her grandmother always made sure to tell her plenty of stories about them, especially her mother. Ash’s older brother became a Hunter as well, but was seriously injured and was no longer able to fight. After this he became very bitter and sour. He and Ash had a large falling-out when he found out she was planning to become a Huntress, and he married and moved away before they ever reconciled. His wife has a strong dislike of Ash, so she’s prevented any contact between the two of them. Other than that, Ash had a simple, happy life.
