- "I'm not my father, you know. Ever since I was a little girl, I've looked down to the city streets from that ridiculous palace, and imagined a better place."
- ―Ashelin
Ashelin is Baron Praxis' daughter and currently the Governor and leader of Haven City. Throughout Jak II: Renegade, Ashelin helps Jak by giving him information and security passes to various areas around the city.

[edit] Jak II
Being the daughter of the Baron, Ashelin had numerous benefits. Ashelin had become the Captain of the Krimzon Guard by the time of Jak II. However her distaste for both the KG and her father proved too much, and she leaked information to the Underground, leading to the discovery of the Precursor Stone at the end of Act II. At Haven Palace, Ashelin reveals that Krew is building a Piercer Bomb for the Baron at the Weapons Factory. She was going to kill Jak in the Palace, believing that he was undermining the war with the Metal Heads and not understanding that opening the Stone would destroy everything. However Vin assured her to the contrary. Ashelin provided Jak with a security pass to get to the weapons factory and stop Krew.
[edit] Pre-Jak 3
Ashelin formed a relationship with Torn and after the deaths of Baron Praxis and Kor, became Governor of Haven City. However, she was not powerful enough to save Jak from being banished by Count Veger and the Haven City Council, thus Veger later tried to take command and rule the city.
[edit] Jak 3
When Jak was exiled to the Wasteland, Ashelin gave a beacon to him, knowing Damas would find him. Later, Ashelin met Jak at the Oasis, begging him to come back to the city and win the war. After fending off some attacking Marauders, Jak refuses and Ashelin returns to the city alone. When Jak eventually does returns to Haven City, Ashelin is relieved and shortly thereafter removes Count Veger from the council. After Jak defeats Cyber Errol in the Dark Maker Terraformer, Ashelin shares a passionate off-screen moment with Jak.
[edit] In battle
Even though in the attack of the Marauders in the Wasteland Oasis, Jak's aim is to protect Ashelin; she fights well on her own. She uses blasters in battle, which shoot simple bullets. She also has spectacular melee moves, which mainly consist of kicking and punching. She also uses some acrobatical moves to dodge attacks.
It should also be noted that when Jak uses his Light Eco healing power, every object is stopped as usual except Ashelin. She continues to attack the enemies while they cannot move, hence she helps significantly as an assistance character.
[edit] Jak X
A year later, Ashelin attended the reading of Krew's will, where she is poisoned, along with everyone else, from a wine vintage Krew had saved for the occasion. She competes in the Kras City Championship to win the antidote. During the year, Ashelin developed a rivalry with Krew's daughter, Rayn and didn't trust her from the beginning (mostly because of the poisoning). At the end of the championship, her suspicions were proved right.
[edit] Etymology
Just as most character names originate from ordinary names, Ashelin spawns from the ordinary Asheley or Ashley, which has been a man's name for decades, indicating her solid personality. (Note that it was only recently that females started using the name "Ashley".)
