'''Ashlynn''' is a character in the {{DQSeries}} that appears as a playable party member in {{DQ6}}. She starts as a [[mage]]-type character and learns the powerful spell, [[Magic Burst]], without use of the vocation system.

==Appearance and personality==

Ashlynn wears a vivid blue tunic with charcoal sleeves ending in saffron gloves, a tall belt with a silver buckle, brown leather shoes with black socks, and a scarlet cape. Her belt has a clip for holding her whip when she is not using it. She also sports one of the wildest hairstyles [[Akira Toriyama]] has ever put to pen.

Ashlynn joins the party with severe amnesia, and quickly grows close to them after they restore her visibility. Despite her memory loss, she boasts a plucky disposition and ever-energetic attitude regardless of the group's daunting tasks save for one notable exception. Ashlynn is never reserved when it comes to her emotions, letting the whole world know when's she's happy, sad, or laughing up a riot. She also isn't afraid to throw her weight around either, flat out demanding that the party help troubled townsfolk they come across in her party chat and considers her bossy side to be part of her charm.

While never outright stated, it is '''strongly''' implied that Ashlynn has feelings for the {{Hero 6}}. Over the course of their adventures together this transforms from a simple crush to genuine love, to the point that Ashlynn will make mental notes of the Hero's answers to Judith's questions in [[Weaver's Peak]], along with other revealing remarks in her party chat.   

==Appearances==

==={{DQ6}}===

{{spoiler|start}}Ashlynn is first encountered at [[Moonmirror Tower]], suffering the same translucency that the {{Hero 6}} and [[Carver]] had earlier. Overjoyed that there are people who can finally see her, Ashlynn insists on accompanying the party once they apply a few drops of [[List of items in Dragon Quest VI#Incredible Items|Dream dew]] to make her solid once more. She brings a considerable amount of magic to the table and isn't shy about engaging monsters, but she does become nervous when faced with the prospect of dealing with the real [[Murdaw]] after the party had so much hardship with his doppelganger. When the heroes arrive at the fiend's island on the ship borrowed from the people of [[Ghent]], she asks to stay behind out of fear.  

Once Murdaw has been killed, Ashlynn rejoins the party and continues her travels with the group with no further doubts or hesitancy. Over the course of her adventure, her origins are uncovered and Ashlynn learns that she is from the magical city [[Sorceria]], which had been destroyed by the Archfiend [[Mortamor]] approximately 50 years before the game's events. When Sorceria was besieged by the Archfiend, the citizens shed their mortal bodies and fled to the world of dreams to escape total annihilation, inhabiting a duplicate of their home before it was sealed away by [[Gracos]] on Mortamor's orders. Ashlynn's magical strength is so great that it deflected the fiend's sealing spell and her soul remained free, but force of the conflicting magic caused her to lose her memories.

The reason for the city being targeted is due to the Sorcerians knowing the ultimate spell, [[Magic Burst]], which is passed along to Ashlynn when the eldress of the town is spoken to. Ashlynn is the direct descendant of the founder of Sorceria, Ashmeralda, and several items available in the town were crafted especially for her use in the battle against the Archfiend. In addition, the events in the town bequeath Ashlynn with a new epithet: the Scion of Sorceria.

====Remake changes====

*In the {{Super Famicom}} Version, Ashlynn possessed a 25% resistance to [[Frizz]], [[Sizz]], [[Bang]], and [[Crack]] spells.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On August 20, 2010, Ashlynn began appearing as a special guest at the [[Quester's Rest]] in [[Stornway]]. This could be downloaded through the [[DQVC]] using Nintendo's Wi-Fi channel when it was still available. When spoken to, she will give the {{Hero 9}} different pieces of her outfit is certain conditions are fulfilled.

 

 

She also appears dressed in a winter outfit as Starry Knight Ashlynn who is an S-rank member of the [[Hero family]] as part of the limited ''Holy Night Gift Hunt Expedition'' event on her own banner alongside [[Lunar chimaera]]. She can participate in the [[Winter Queen|Winter Queen's]] Battle Road as a party member and can be faced as a boss in the Starry Night-Festive Feud stages as well.

*It is noted many times that Ashlynn is in love with the Hero, saying things such as ''"Hey Hero, I got a new outfit today. Do I look good in it?"'' or ''"Aah love, I know how she feels..."'' or ''"If I were her I'd pick you over [[Buddy]], but..."'', with even the Hero's parents compliment them on being a cute couple. This is even supported in battle, as only she and the Hero cannot be removed from the party by any means.
