First encounter with Ash

Continuing on the story and, after what happened to the guy from Arrow story, I was expecting Ash to die too, but seems like I was wrong. Which is good as I like her design quite a bit and it's nice to have more cute female characters around (even though Ringo is still way better overall).
Apparently Ash was the girlfriend of Saizo while they were both Summoners trying to survive the waves of the war between groups. Eventually they failed to escape from that scary world, shame to be honest...
