Powers and Abilities

In Chapter 12 of Arc 2 is revealed, by Himena Aika, that Ashley's power is "Reversal".[citation needed]. According to Himena, Ashley's magic can be described as "the power to reverse what is received", meaning that this power allows Ashley to change the power or magical effects onto something or someone else, including herself.[citation needed] In this case Himena used Ashley's power to "reverse" the empowerment magic she used on those Witches unto herself to defeat them.[citation needed]

Due to the nature of her wish, her control of Kumanosuke in in-game battle, and its mirroring of her movement in her transformation animation, it can be speculated that Ashley has the ability to manipulate the movements (at least) of objects and/or people in addition to her main power.

Doppel Description

ZIPZAP (Zipzap)

The Doppel of faith.
Its form is kawaii.
The master of this emotion loves kawaii culture and takes extreme pleasure in promoting it. Her face turns to pure delight when she gazes at this image of herself. This Doppel understands fully its master's desire to spread her interests, so it strives to implant a fondness for manga, anime, yumekawa, and gurokawa in others. If it encounters someone less kawaii than its master, it releases rainbow beams from its six eyes, enveloping them in a plethora of ribbons and lace, altering their hobbies and tastes. Its victims are said to then bow down to it in reverence.

信仰のドッペル。
その姿は、Kawaii。
この感情の主はKAWAII文化に溺れて染まり、それを発信することにも至高の悦びを感じているので、自身の映しであるドッペルを満悦の表情で眺めている。
このドッペルは主の趣味と情報発信意欲を十分理解しており、マンガやアニメといったポップなものから、ゆめかわやグロかわなどのサブカルチャーまで、洗脳して植え付ける活動に邁進している。主よりKAWAIIレベルが劣る人を見つけては6つの目から七色のビームを放ち、当たった人は大量のリボンとレースに巻き込まれて趣味や嗜好を改変される。その人たちは、このドッペルを見ると地に頭を付けて崇めるらしい。

Side Story

Ashley Taylor's Side Story

The story begins with Ashley roaming around Kamihama City in order to gather enough material to put in a vlog. However, her tour is interrupted by the presence of a witch nearby. As Ashley closes in on the location, she encounters Riko Chiaki trying to reassure her worried dog, Mameji. After briefly admiring the cuteness of the situation, Ashley then offers her help to Riko, revealing her identity as a magical girl. She also decides to tackle the witch by herself and leave the Grief Seed to Riko, as her own Soul Gem doesn't need to be cleansed at the moment. After defeating the witch, she properly introduces herself to a grateful Riko, and tells her about her upcoming plans for her tour of Kamihama City. After mentioning Sakae Ward, Riko remembers an accessory shop, and invites Ashley to join her there.

Within the shop, Ashley remains in awe before the cuteness of all the accessories. She then locates a specific hairclip which she shows to Riko, but the latter is disturbed by the design, which is covered in bandages. Ashley then explains to Riko about the concept of Gurokawa the hairclip is based on (combining cute and creepy elements together), but then apologizes for getting carried away in her explanation. She tries to switch topics by pointing at a cute skirt, but then laments that she may not have enough room to store everything she buys, as she lives in a studio flat that's about a thousand square feet in area.

Riko gets confused about the measuring unit, and as Ashley is about to do the conversion, she encounters Emiri Kisaki and Rika Ayano. She fawns over both of them, believing them to be gyaru. Realizing that Ashley is a foreigner, Emiri and Rika attempt to communicate in English, only for Ashley to reply to them in fluent Japanese, which surprises them. Emiri decides to nickname her "Ash", which the latter immediately takes a liking to. Ashley explains to both girls that she's in Kamihama on the hunt for kawaii culture. Emiri asks her if she's been to a maid cafe before, with Ashley replying that she's been in one the day before. Rika then remembers a 'sacred spot for manga fans' in Hokuyo Ward, which she tells Ashley and Riko about. Before going there, however, Ashley asks Riko that she call her Ash as well.

When arriving at the abovementioned place, Ashley and Riko quickly recognize it as a key location in Phantom Thief Magical Kirin, which they begin fangirling about. This draws the attention of Karin Misono, who recognizes the two as 'Kirinites'. Ashley suggests that the three of them hang out together and talk about Magical Kirin together, then recognizes Karin's ring as being that of a magical girl. After a proper introduction, they proceed to explore the many places featured in Magical Kirin and enjoy their time together talking about trivia regarding the manga alongside other things. Riko and Ashley part ways with Karin afterwards, then, while pondering what to do next, Ashley's stomach rumbles in hunger. Riko invites her to her bento shop to have something to eat, which Ashley gladly agrees to.

Arriving at the bento shop, Riko introduces Ashley to her parents, who offer them croquettes. Ashley asks for the price, but Riko's mother says that the croquette is a token of gratitude for taking such good care of Riko. As she watches Riko and her parents sharing a moment, she feels some homesickness. She asks Riko if she can tell a little more about her family in private.

It's revealed that her mother is a famous actress, and Ashley's passion for kawaii culture comes from her, as she travels to Japan a lot for her movies. She had a chance encounter with Ashley's father while the latter directed a film she was acting in. Ashley's mother would always bring back a lot of goodies from Japan, which Ashley became fascinated about. She explains how thanks to her supportive parents, she was able to visit a lot of different cities in the US and overseas, and meet a lot of different people. This chain of events inspired her to study abroad in Japan, however she then explains that her father opposed her plan for an unknown reason. Ashley explains what puzzled her was less the opposition and more the lack of an explanation thereof, as they would aways justify their reason for opposing Ashley's choices in the past.

She then reveals that she eventually managed to go abroad for her studies, but merely because Kyubey showed up. She wished for her father's approval to him, subsequently becoming a magical girl. However, this makes her feel guilty towards her dad, believing herself to be a terrible daughter. She expresses her desire for her father to understand her choices, and that it pains her that he didn't understand this specific one. She then realizes the mood has soured, and quickly apologizes to Riko for doing so. Riko then suggests that Ashley should film a video of her time in Kamihama to show to her father, remembering their first conversation where Ashley mentioned doing this as a hobby. Riko believes that by showing Ashley's father what she loves, he'll end up understanding her choices and how happy it makes her. Ashley praises Riko over the idea, and thanks her for the assistance, deciding to film this video.

After recording it, Ashley meets up with Riko again to show her the results of her work before posting it online. Riko is impressed by the result, and is convinced that Ashley's video will make her father have a change of heart. Ashley finally decides to upload it, and nervously waits for an answer. She mentions that it might take some time due to the timezone difference between California and Japan. Her stomach rumbles again, and she says that she was so stressed she forgot to eat today, and decides that she'll buy another croquette from Riko's shop. Before she can go, however, she suddenly receives a call from her father which surprises her, as he's supposed to be at work right now.

Answering the phone, Ashley asks her father if he's lost some weight, but her father tells her not to worry about it. He tells Ashley that he watched the video, and could really feel the love and passion poured into it and how much studying abroad meant to his daughter. He reminds Ashley to always do what she loves most, and finally voices his wholehearted support to Ashley, which makes her tear up from joy. As they are speaking in English, Riko can only understand what is going on through Ashley's facial expressions, but she concludes that it went very well.

The scene skips to several weeks later, where Ashley receives an unexpected package in her studio flat. The package reveals a gurokawa-style teddy bear inside, and attached is a card written by her father. It tells that he thought that she would love this teddy bear, and wished her luck in her "kawaii" endeavors.

Before she can fawn over it, however, she receives an unexpected video call from home. When she answers, Ashley's mother appears, bearing bad news. She tearfully reveals to Ashley that her father has passed away. Ashley believes it to be a twisted joke at first, as she'd talked to him on the phone a few weeks prior and nothing sounded out of the ordinary. Her mother tells her that Ashley's father was very ill, which makes her realize that it was the reason he'd lost so much weight in the first place. She laments about how she should've never studied abroad, but then her mother retorts by saying the illness was found out shortly after Ashley left for Kamihama. Ashley realizes in horror that she unwittingly hurt her dad by making her wish, as she ended up not being able to be by his side when he needed it most. Before Ashley's mother can talk about the upcoming funeral, Ashley cuts the conversation short.

As Ashley begins regretting her wish and decisions all alone, the teddy bear she was gifted unexpectedly falls over. Ashley believes it to be a sign from her father, and she remembers his words of 'doing what she loves most in the place she loves so much'. She rekindles her resolve and decides that she'll live her own life to the fullest to make him proud and respect the last words he ever told her.

Costume Stories

Ashley Taylor's Costume Stories

Ashley seeks refuge from the cold in the consultation office, where she is happily greeted by Emiri and Rika. Rika recognizes the hoodie Ashley is wearing being what she ended up winning from a contest hosted by the brand behind Kumanosuke. The front of the hoodie was a modified version of Kumanosuke’s original design, but Ashley never showed the original design to Riko, much to her disappointment. However, she did it for good reason, as Emiri and Rika were repulsed by Ashley’s recreation of the original design, which depicted a bloody Kumanosuke feasting on a rabbit that he hunted down, via mimicry. As Ashley lore dumps about Kumanosuke and the grim fictional world he lives in, the other two girls agree that it would be too early to introduce Riko to something like this, though Ashley says that she will try to be more mindful next time.

Ignorance is Bliss

At the beach, Ashley announces that she and Riko will be filming; “The Japanese Horror Project: Part 5.” Riko wonders if she is overdoing the project, but Ashley reminds her of all the unreleased footage they have. Apparently, strange incidents only happen when they are not recording, which is why Ashley is determined to catch some good content. Although she will be proceeding without Kumanosuke, as he is currently camping out in a coin locker, but not to worry, as the flattened Kumanosuke on her swimsuit will be substituting for this occasion. After finding a spot, they begin recording, where Ashley states that she will be investigating an alleged poltergeist within the area reported by one of their veiwers. However, it isn’t long before they are accidentally interrupted by Ui, Iroha, and Sana, who claims to have been the supposed ghost who was picking flowers, due to her invisibility. Disappointed that the true identity of the disturbing phantom was a “kawaii magical girl”, the two move on to the next mystery on their report list, that being a ghost by the seashore. Just like last time, they don’t get far in their intro before getting interrupted by Mayu and Ria, who explain that the ‘ghost’ was merely Kanoko in her mascot-like costume. Hoping to raise the duo’s spirits, Mayu tells them of a strange floaty that some middle schoolers spotted on the beach, but that soon turned out to be Riko’s dog shaped ring, and the noises it was allegedly making were from her actual dog after he slipped it over his head. With seemingly no good horror material, Ashley gives up, and says that Kumanosuke is probably getting bored in the locker. Some time later at home, Riko gets a message from one of her classmates, talking about a rumor surrounding a teddy bear that shares a strong resemblance to Kumanosuke, saying that the stuffed bear will never leave it’s victim, and even curse them with bad luck, or “kawaii” luck if they are expecting the worst. Though this can all be cured by simply hugging the bear. Riko begins to worry, as this could possibly be real and should be taken with caution, but she also fears that telling Ashley about it would change her views on her beloved Kumanosuke. As she panics, tears fill her eyes.

Trivia

  • As she was an NA-server exclusive, she is the first and only character to have exclusively English voicelines.
    • All of her voicelines were later re-recorded in Japanese for her re-release on the Japanese server.
  • In her personal story, Candy and her Familiars are encountered in Durbar's labyrinth.
    • In cutscenes, though, they are properly depicted as being in Candy's Labyrinth.
  • Her personal story implies that the Labyrinths (and presumably Witches and Familiars) in Japan, or at least Kamihama specifically, may in some way look different from those she encountered in America: "So this is a Japanese Labyrinth... or should I say, a Kamihama Labyrinth... Kinda grotesque, kinda kawaii... I love it!"
  • Prior to her release, the official websites for the NA release of Magia Record had released a translation of a page of Magia Report. In the translated page, Iroha states she is hoping she rolls the Magical Girl "Chelsea". This left fans to speculate that the NA original character would be named Chelsea. The comic was retracted, and the name was changed to read Ultimate Madoka instead. The NA original character was then released with the name Ashley Taylor. The comic that was originally released can be read here.
  • Ashley lives alone in Japan. Her home, which consists of only one room, is approximately one-thousand square feet (60 tatami mats, or 93 square meters).[citation needed]
  • In Magia Exedra:
    • She is, so far, the only character in Magia Exedra to have both English and Japanese voice lines.
    • Ashley shares a quirk with Masara, in that Ashley's 3* Kioku's Element is the same as it was Magia Record, but her 4* Kioku has the type changed to Void.

Observations

  • As she received Kumanosuke after she became a Magical Girl and moved to Japan, it is unknown what Ashley's original weapon was or how she initially fought.
    • In Kamihama Kawaii Collection, she mentions that Kumanosuke has faint traces of her magic on him from always being with her in battle, but she makes no mention of using him as a weapon.[1] This raises the question of whether she canonically does use him as a weapon, or if she fights another way.
    • For some reason, Ashley is holding Kumanosuke in "Good Child, Good Child", which seems to show a younger Ashley with her father.
  • Her Doppel is likely named after the game "Zip", also known as "Zip Zap Boing" or "Zip Zap Zop", which is commonly used as a theatre preparation exercise. This is a reference to Ashley's family working in the film industry (actress, director, and internet content creator).
  • In her Winter Costume story, she refers to herself as "Waloli Gurokawa-sensei".
    • Wa Lolita (和ロリ) is a style of lolita fashion that is based around Japanese kimonos.
    • Gurokawa (グロカワ) is short for Guro Kawaii, an aesthetic characterized by the juxtaposition of kawaii (cute) things and guro (gory, scary, creepy) things.
    • Yumekawa (an aesthetic Ashley and her Doppel are also fond of) is short for "Yume Kawaii" (ゆめかわいい), an aesthetic that centers around fantasy themes and pastel colors.

Etymology

  • Her first name means "ash tree forest"/"meadow".
    • Her theorized original name, Chelsea, is thought to mean "chalk wharf". It may be a humorous reference to the fact that she is one of the franchise's few white (as in Western) characters.
  • Her surname is an occupational name for a tailor, someone who professionally works with clothing. This references Ashley's interest in fashion, especially kawaii and gurokawa styles.
