I think Ashley's really coming into her own, you know? She's becoming more assertive, and I think that's largely due to her stepmother's influence. Plus, dealing with that fake guy who posed as her dad? That's some tough experience she went through, but it's clear she's learned a lot from it. She's figuring out how to speak up for herself and you can see it at the meeting and even teased her sister a bit which she used to be too shy to say anything . And honestly, I wonder if she's not being pressured to conform to societal norms to get married cause it looks like she doesn’t like men. They seem to make her uncomfortable. Perhaps she is ace? Or sapphic? Maybe aromantic? Both? Neither? Maybe men lusting after her made her averse to them? Maybe she doesn’t like romance as a whole cause it never appealed to her. I don’t see her being interested in anyone and seems to avoid men. She's also speaking up more and you can see it at the meeting. I hope she never marries and that society changes so she can be happy on her own terms. If she isn’t into romance, then GOOD! Being beautiful doesn’t mean you have to be into romance. Stay single and happy.
