Myrt Ashen

Myrt Ashen is a side character in Origin Stories, first introduced in Killerjoy. After her brother Cary goes missing on a trip down the Spine, she decides to quit her job as the bolters and enter the Parcel Exams.

Appearance
Ashen is described as having silky, chestnut brown hair and deep blue eyes.

Early Life
Ashen and her family are from Sepperlin. They came to Carver and haven't looked back since, well all but Calvia haven't looked back since. Ashen and Kerrigan worked for Delmontpelier working on the rails which is where they met Attle Bowman. Ashen and Attle would often talk of finding a good death down below the spine while at work.

Her brother, Cary, was a rover who went on a trip below the Spine with Arren Argent. He had since disappeared, a blow that hit the Myrt family pretty hard.

Killerjoy
While working on the rails, Ashen's impatience for something more came through when she didn't put in a few bolts on a few rails as well as she should have. Thankfully, Attle and Kerrigan were there to cover for her. But it was clear then that her mind was elsewhere.

She eventually quit her job at the railing to enter into the Parcel Exams. Kerrigan believed this was to go and find their long lost brother. Ashen had been planning this long before Cary went missing, however. When Kerrigan enlisted Attle to try and talk her out of going, there wasn't much that he could do to stop her. She had her mind set on going and nothing Attle could say or do would change that.

On the day she left for the exams, Attle was at the Myrt residence. Instead of going to bid her farewell, he ran off. There was only arguing going on when he left.

The day finally came where she was to board her silo to the Parcel Exams. On that day, a young man named Nev Fremon sat down next to her on the silo. He tried starting conversation with her about death and the Sovereign.
