Biography

Childhood

Ashley Gates had a rough childhood for two big reasons -- her parents, and her birthday. Her birthday being the smaller reason, earning her ridicule in middle school and a little bit of high school. The other reason -- the bigger reason -- were her abusive parents, both of which were physically and mentally abusive, calling her, "(a) useless waste of space daughter (they) didn't want." When she had begun eighth grade, she ran away from home, and went to school in Boulder until 18 years of age, living with a high school teacher.

Military Service

Ashley had served in the United States Army for around one year. From the age of 18 to 19. She was an ordinary rifleman, serving in mostly the Middle East, and eastern Europe. After one year of service, she was dishonorably discharged from the United States military for getting into an argument with a commanding officer. This had upset her greatly, and caused her to run off and join Cerberus Contracting rather than be sent back home to her parents.

Cerberus and Present Day

After being discharged, she had as fast as possibly joined Cerberus Contracting. She had zipped through training at a fast pace, and had met Hellhound on one of her first missions. The two had gotten close and been on most missions after together. Ashley, now then known as Frostbyte because of her cold glare and ice cold heart to anyone but Marshall. She had been promoted to a Patriot, then shortly after trained to be a Special Operator in the Cerberus Special Operations program, where she is today, after a brief hiatus while imprisoned by HADES in the Ukraine until rescued.

Personality

Ashley never was 'normal' in most of the world's standards. Due to the treatment she received from her parents, she developed trust issues, and had problems socially early in life. As those problems persisted along with being abused by her parents, this caused her to develop Bipolar Depression. Along with all those, she's a very stubborn person, who even refuses to take medicine to help with her mood swings, because she doesn't want the help of others. All in all, Ashley is a angry, short, ball of mood swings.
