New characters!

The beginning of stories always has lots of new characters. Ashley, however, gave me a lot of trouble in her development. You’ll find out more about her and Rayne in the next chapter, but while I was writing her, her personality never wanted to settle the way most of my characters’ do. As such I had to rewrite her a bunch of times. I’m pretty happy with how she is now, so we’ll see if she behaves herself through the rest of the story.
