Ashleigh Yzerman

"I know it was tough for you, I mean, Caleb being your friend and all. But, I just wanted to say thank you for saving me, Ryan." —Ashleigh

Ashleigh Yzerman is one of the main protagonists in The Rise of Them.

Appearance
Ashleigh has long, blonde hair and blue eyes. Her attire consists of a light blue T-Shirt under a denim jacket with dark blue leggings and grey ankle boots. Later in the novel she wears a white winter jacket and a stripped reddish-pink beanie.

Personality
Ashleigh is described in-game as academic, inquisitive and forthright. She dislikes horror movies.

Ashleigh is shown to be very observant, yet she is also easily scared due to her wild imagination. As the night progresses, she becomes increasingly panicky, freaked out by the seemingly supernatural events taking place. As such, she at times demonstrates reluctance in looking for Angelica when the latter is missing, though Ryan can usually convince her to continue and even show courage in the face of a potential threat. Still, when in actual danger, Ashleigh is not as quick on her feet like Jonathan or Megan.

Biography
Ashleigh is a smart cookie. She's often found in the library, studying away with her nose in a book. After spending a lot of time with her study-partner Ryan, Ashleigh begins to wonder if he's interested in her as more than just a friend, but she soon snaps out of it — Ryan would never ask her out anyway.

Her overactive imagination means that she's jumpier than a paranoid kangaroo. She's not a fan of scary anything.

Ryan
Ryan and Ashleigh have a mutual crush on each other. Their friends, Caleb and Megan often tease them about their feelings for one another. When Megan asks her about her relationship with him, Ashleigh acts dismissive, treating it as nothing. When searching for Angelica later in the novel, she is hesitant to investigate the basement, but Ryan talks her into it. When their lives are in danger and Ryan volunteers to head out with The Stranger to retrieve Caleb, she approaches him and tells him to come back safely before kissing him.

She is relieved when he comes back and for the remainder of the novel, they look out for each other and are even seen hugging at the end of the novel.

Caleb
Ashleigh and Caleb have a positive relationship. Even though they aren't seen interacting very much, Caleb does talk her into accepting the role of speaking while using the Ouji board. Eric even notes how Ashleigh cares about his safety and vice versa.
