Background

Ashley Graves (nicknamed Leyley) is one of the two titular main protagonists of The Coffin of Andy and Leyley, alongside with her brother Andrew Graves.

This dropdown contains the synopsis of Ashley's story. Read at your own risk as you may be spoiled otherwise!

Personality

Ashley exhibits sociopathic and antisocial traits throughout the game: she feels no remorse after committing horrific, violent crimes such as murder and cannibalism. She's apathetic when it comes to other people's feelings.

She would do anything if it ensured Andrew's continued presence by her side:

  1. removing any individual who threatens her place by his side: Girlfriends, friends, etcetera,
  2. and indulging him in any of his desires (romantic, sexual, or otherwise).


Just like Andrew, she partakes with him in their codependent relationship, they enable each other in their insanity which very often borders on its extreme nature such as threatening or actual violence, lengthy conversations about suicide, murder, assault and battery, incestuous feelings, cannibalism, etcetera However, unlike him, she has a confident, unconcerned, and upbeat attitude which often annoys him.

Biography

Years later, she was lived and trapped in an abandoned apartment with Andrew, following the pandemic prior in months. In the wake of famine in the apartment, she practices cannibalism and murder for eating a frozen-stiffed cultist and escaped from the apartment with her brother.

Appearance

Ashley has cherry blossom pink eyes and often displays an impish smirk when conversing with her brother. Her expressions are usually those of malice, disbelief or dereliction. She wears a black top together with a visible black brassière, and a yellow pendant hanging from a black choker. Her hair, like her brother's, is uncombed and tied at the back in a ponytail. Her in-game sprite is, like the other characters, a stoical greyscale pixel-art version of her.

Status: Alive

Alignment: Chaotic Evil (Ashley ever since being a child has always had some forms of mentality that involves multiple crimes with many signs of her being a psychopath, having a constant argument with her brother when it comes to two committing crimes. At the age of 5, she was jealous that her friend Nina was in love with her brother, and had the idea of locking her inside of a crate. She pictures on how the event will go and plan it out, convincing Andrew to commit the crime with her. During this, Ashley stays rude to the victim. She has the thought of making her victim jump off a window to break her bones to test if the area is too high. She further pushes Andrew with the idea, insisting that Nina stays locked in when earlier she said it was only to make her stop loving Andrew. She gets jealous just from her saying she thinks Nina looks just fine, further pushing her to do it. She then forces Nina to hide inside of a crate, to which she blocks it by sitting on it, keeping her stay there despite the coughing and call for help as Nina has asthma. She refuses to let her out even when Andrew tells her twice to let go, arguing that she'll be fine. She then manipulates Andrew by making him think he doesn't care about her, eventually convincing him to lock the crate. Even with Nina pleading for her life, Ashley shows no remorse over her actions. She returns to see the body is dead, to which she doesn't seem to care about it. Even with the blood indicating she tried to escape, she's playful about it. When Andrew has a mental breakdown, Ashley then suggests to hide the body. She then buries the body only because Andrew is freaking out, in which she would rather leave the body. Ashley would then start to forget Nina's existence, which is supported by these flashbacks having her face blacked out and name forgotten. She then proceeds to threaten Andrew by saying she'd tell people about the murder if he doesn't stay with her. Andrew for days feels depressed over the event, with Ashley feeling nothing. As Andrew is depressed about it, Ashley still tries to draw his attention towards her. Upon seeing someone get killed by an entity, her first concern was to turn off an annoying song playing while her brother freaks out. She also jokes about being a burglar during this. Her instinct when getting close to the body is using it for food, which she makes an argument that they should eat it due to starving with no food. Ashley has a gleeful smile with the idea of dismembering the body. She lacks any serious emotions when hiding the body in a bag, nor when she cooks the body parts. Unlike Andrew, she begins to eat without hesitation and doesn't gag at the taste nor thought of eating a person, forcing Andrew to swallow. Her mind only thinks that it's yummy meat, never caring about her morals. While Andrew is broken down by this, Ashley notes how she won't recover nor even attempt therapy. Ashley also notes how she doesn't think much of humans, further showing how little she cares for people. After meeting up with a lady, Ashley has the idea to offer her soul to an entity for assistance. She also decides it's a good idea to offer the warden as well. Ashley and Andrew use the lady as bait to get the warden sacrificed, threatening her life in the process. Upon summoning an entity, she offers a soul to it. While it was from a scummy person, Ashley didn't feel bad from the outcome. Upon getting a gun from the warden's corpse, her first idea was to kill the lady she met. She accuses Andrew of getting on with her, which was her motivation to have the lady dead. It further revealed that Andrew's girlfriend broke up with her due to Ashley sending death threats to her. She then pushes Andrew's sanity by claiming every murder was from him, even reminding him of the time Nina was locked up despite it being her idea. As Andrew has a reason to kill Ashley, she attempts to guilt trip him to stop her death. When finally outside, she plans to steal ID and live a new life on the run. She then "jokes" about eating more people, laughing because everything to her has gone to crap. Upon learning that a hitman is out for them, they suggest to lure him away to kill him. While Andrew still feels guilty, Ashley insists that it's okay to kill a murderer, while also forcing him to commit the murder. When obtaining his car, Ashley wants to rob her parents, to then also wanting to kill them. After breaking into their home, Andrew later decides killing them is a bad idea, to which Ashley would rather have them dead which angers her. When Andrew it asleep, Ashley attempts to convince him by whispering to kill their parents in his sleep. She doesn't give him a choice, and is insistent on feeding their souls to the entity. When her mother comes, she pulls out her gun to threaten her. She can't be talked out of it by her mother, showing that her feelings are entirely negative. She'd even be okay with hurting them before the ritual even starts. Even after it's revealed that her mother knew about the murder of Nina and decided to keep it hidden for the safety of her children, Ashley views that as no defense nor redemption towards her. She holds her mother at gunpoint to steal the money from her credit card later on, then tying her back up. When the entity appears, Ashley immediately offers the souls of her parents and acts more casual towards the entity. After finding out that their parents are still breathing when soulless, she decides to stab her mother casually either way while also laughing over this discovery. After dismembering her parents with Andrew, she decides the next thing to do is to cook and eat their bodies. When cooking them into soup, she claims it's better than Andrew cooking something regular and is something she eats casually now. She claims that eating people makes her feel like she's at the top of the food chain. After cleaning up their mess and disposing the flesh, they sleep and wake up. Soon they drive to a bridge and dump the bones of their parents, driving off to commit more crimes in the future. The entity notes that Ashley has a tar covered soul and is pitch black, while not lingering on it. Ashley also has many instances to where she'll want to commit incest with her brother, going as far as to dreaming it and push away or kill any woman who shows any forms of interests to Andrew. This crush happened as early as her being a child. Her dream displays many hints of such, with the bunnies representing each other and the pink one to resemble Ashley)
