Character Talks: Ashling Maury

Hey everyone! Welcome back!

I know it's been a while, but I thought that I would use today to chat about one of the characters from Dreamwalkers, especially since that, despite the fact it is this blog's namesake, I've not really talked about it since the last convention and degree show other than in passing. Not to mention the last time I did a character talk it was back in December 2015. As such, today I'll talk about the first female of the Dreamwalkers team - Ashling Maury.

I've drawn Ashling as a flat colour version I tend to use it for reference for some of her current clothing, though the star on the shirt breast is still up for debate on if it will remain there during her first appearance.

Ashling, as mentioned, is one of the members of the SOS team, having been there as one of Somnus' employees before Rem's initial introduction, and is one of two female members of the team. Unlike the other female member, Ashling is one who takes an active role, and is capable of dreamwalking similarly to Somnus and (eventually) Rem. Unlike her boss' more mysterious, strangeness, Ashling is a no-nonsense tom-boyish young woman who likes punkish clothing and kicking ass, though at this point is so used to Somnus' strangeness that she barely bats an eye about it, even when Rem is utterly confused by it all.  Though if her boss get's a bit too overenthusiastic then she is not above dragging him back to something a bit more normal (in her opinion). As such, Rem sees her as a point of normality in SOS and gets on with her quite well, usually in terms of the two of them complaining about their insane boss.

Ashling, when not working for SOS, is attending university on an art based course, though she rarely talks about it during her dreamwalking job.

Hopefully, I will be able to finish this image as well. :)

Of course, if anyone has any questions about her and its not too spoilerish, then I'll be happy to answer them.

There are more characters to talk about at some point, but for now, that's all I can say about them, but look forwards to those character talks when they show up.

Til next time!
