it's only fun if you get a scar out of it

Okay, listen up. I'm Ashlyn Hofferson, but most people call me Ash. I'm a Personal Trainer at Flora. Stella dragged me along here with our bonehead friends, so here i am. Word of advice: do not piss me off.

“That doesn't look so hard, you wimp. Here, I’ll do it.”

“You can if you want. I think a black eye will really go with my hoodie.” He motioned to the blue hoodie, nodding to himself approvingly. “How many have taken to the hills instead of keeping up with your pace?”

[ashhofferson]

“Don’t tempt me,” she warned, but her face cracked a grin. Relaxing her hand, she took to standing along the wall next to Jackson, arms folded. “Lucky for you, there are actual punching bags here.” She had thought being a resort trainer would be much more challenging. Who would want to go on a vacation and come back all doughy from lethargy? “That one makes seven. I figure I still have some job security so long as I don’t hit the double digits.”

“Perhaps you should slow down a little..” Elsa says concerned as they walk past the scene going on in front of them. It’s not that they really want to interfere with what’s going on but the amount of people that look like they’re going to collapse is a little worrying.

[ashhofferson]

“Do I tell you how to do your job?” Ashlyn spat, staring down the other, still angry over losing another trainee. “I didn’t think so.” Ash retreated to her locker, wrapping muscle tape on her arm. Of course the ice rink worker had a point, but Ash wasn’t about to admit fault.

She rolled her eyes, though obviously still amused. “I think you’re meant to adjust the work out for the guest, not expect them to adjust to you.”

[ashhofferson]

“Coddling your trainee is just setting them up for failure,” Ash retorted, as though memorized from a guide. In truth, she was still figuring out her new job. It wasn't in her nature to be relenting. “Isn’t there a table that needs scrubbing somewhere?” she snapped.

Bartholomew could feel a rush of air blow by as a woman hurried past him, muttering something under her breath about fitness crazies. He approached the girl she had been running from, eyes curious. “She seemed distressed,” he observed, flat but not unkind. “What have you been doing?”

[ashhofferson]

Ashlyn sighed. She barely took note of Bartholomew as she racked the barbells, muttering to the man, “Yeah, well, if she doesn’t want to work hard, she has no place in my- gym!” The last word was uttered with a grunt of effort as Ash removed one of the heavy discs. “Weightlifting, as you can see,” she monotoned.

[brightleavcs]

Jackson watched in muted horror as another one of the girl’s partners ran off, though he couldn’t stifle the laughter that bubbled from the pit of his stomach. “Sorry, sorry, I don’t mean to laugh, I just can’t believe that you’ve scared off that many people.”

[ashhofferson]

Astrid approached the ice rink worker, mouth set in a frown. “You gunna wipe that smug look off your face, or do I have to do it for you?” Astrid growled, knuckles turning white as she cracked them into a fist.

Paxton laughed as she watched the person take off, glancing over at the young woman who was yelling. “Scare her off, did you?”

[ashhofferson]

Ash scowled, standing and cocking out a hip. “It’s not my fault if guests have the endurance of a blade of grass.” Back home, three hundred push-ups was a perfectly acceptable warm-up.

[ashhofferson]

“Two forty-eight, two forty-nine, two fifty! Nice work, only fifty more! Huh? HEY, WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU’RE GOING? Man, not another one...”

Ashlyn Hofferson || Twenty-three || 27 May 1991 || Emily Kinney

“She was hotter than a kettle. A daughter of the devil. And a lot of them would treat her like a model or a medal.”

Character: Astrid Origin: How to Train Your Dragon Sex/Gender: Female/Nonbinary (agender) Job: Personal Trainer in the Gym

Personality Traits: 

Positive: Determined, Strong, Fearless Negative: Aggressive, Stubborn, Violent

Past: 

All it takes is one little mistake to change the course of your life, and Ashlyn made her mistake when she was just a little girl. Ashlyn’s family was always the type that had to be the strongest, the bravest, and the ones most deserving of praise. She grew up proud of her family- they were the very best, and she could be a part of the legacy. The person that she latched onto the most wasn’t either of her parents though. No, the person that she looked up to more than anyone else was her uncle. Uncle Finn was her father’s brother, and he was over at their house quite often during Ashlyn’s childhood. Whenever he would come over she would attach herself to his side, begging him to regale her with stories. Later in life she would realize that he had never fought dragons or anything of the like for two important reasons. One: dragons were not then, and never had been, real. And two: he worked a desk job at a government agency. He was very successful in that and would often be praised by the rest of the family, but it wasn’t interesting to a little kid. So he lied to her- but that wasn’t why she would be angry with him for the rest of her life. Stella Draco was the first person to approach her after everything went down- or rather, she was the first person to approach who didn’t throw her uncle’s arrest in her face. Instead of the often heard, “so what was it exactly that happened to your uncle?” or, “hey, I heard your uncle got arrested!” Stella walked up and asked if she’d be her partner for the science project they were starting that day. Ashlyn never knew that it was so simple to start a steady friendship with someone, but the two of them have been friends ever since. Ashlyn gathered more friends about her as she started high school, but none of those would ever mean as much as Stella’s did. Scott was obnoxious, the twins were loud, and everyone else was slightly annoying at best (forgettable at worst). She liked being surrounded by friends though. Though she would never admit it, with them she felt protected from those that would do her wrong. All the same Ashlyn is still trying to prove herself to the world. She still feels partly responsible for everything that happened- not because she could have stopped her uncle, but because she should have known better than to get attached in the first place.

Current: 

Ashlyn easily acknowledges the fact that Stella came up with the idea to come to the resort, but she appreciates that she doesn’t rub it in her face. Ashlyn should have been the one to come up with it, she thinks, because she was the one that had been so ready to get out of that stupid town. She loves her family and she loves the landscape, but that doesn’t mean a thing when she can’t stand the fact that everyone knows who she is. In another life her heritage would be something that she could take pride in, but sadly that isn’t what she finds back in her hometown. Instead she just finds some place she wants to run away from.

The resort is just as much a place for her to start over as it is a place for her to spend time with her friends. Though she’s a bit annoyed that certain someone’s are coming along (read: Hiccup and Frederick, who she would rather have as little to do with as possible), she won’t pitch a fit about it because that isn’t her style. 

Connections: 

Henrik Vast and Frederick Ingerman

The two poor kids who are bullied by the friend group Ashlyn has found herself a part of. While she doesn’t usually get involved with the actual bullying, she doesn’t stop it either and doesn’t really feel guilty about it. She tends to use one or the other as a punching bag from time to time, but she’s pretty sure it makes them feel included so…

Stella Draco

Stella is, for lack of a better phrase, Ashlyn’s best friend. If anything they are actually closer than that, but there’s no word that Ashlyn can think of to describe their friendship. Stella is the person that Ashlyn would trust whole heartedly and without conditions.

Scott Jorgenson, Blake Ayden, Tessa Draco, Macey Laurie, Hayden Fang, Rowan Thorston and Tobias Thorston

The friend group that she has somehow found herself in the middle of. While she’s not sure that she even likes all of them half the time, she knows that all of them have her back if something comes up. That’s all she really requires out of her friends because she already has Stella.
