Ashley Sanders (born on May, the 12th 1996) is the co-captain of the Xavier High Cheerleading squad, Stacy Sanders' twin sister and Jake Thompson’s most devoted secret supporter in Chargeshock Thompson & the Justice Avengers.
Appearance
Ashley is the mirror image of her twin sister, Stacy, possessing the same stunning blonde hair and piercing blue eyes. However, while Stacy’s expression is often cold, Ashley carries a natural, warm radiance. Although Stacy forces them to dress identically to maintain the "perfect twin" image, Ashley often adds subtle, hidden accessories like a small charm bracelet. During basketball games, while Stacy cheers for Brick, Ashley makes it a point to stand on Jake’s side of the court, acting as his personal cheerleader.
Personality
Unlike her sister, Ashley is genuinely kind-hearted, bubbly, and approachable. She is just as extroverted as Stacy but uses her popularity to build bridges rather than burn them. She lives a double life: when Stacy is around, she reluctantly plays the "mean girl" part to keep the peace at home, but the moment Stacy turns her back, Ashley is friendly, polite and supportive towards Sally, Nicole, and the rest of the group.
She is head-over-heels in love with Jake Thompson. She doesn't just admire Chargeshock's heroism; she is a genuine fan of his music (J-Trixx) and knows his lyrics by heart. Her loyalty is often tested, as Stacy demands total conformity, but Ashley’s rebellious streak shines through when it counts—like choosing to cheer for Jake over Brick. She has diverse interests, from gaming to indie art, which she keeps secret to avoid Stacy’s judgment.
Even though she is in love with Jake, she knows he and Sally have chemistry and made an attempt to help them get together, even if it hurt her a little inside. This just proves that instead of trying to claim Jake as her own and seeing him as a prize to be won (like Stacy does with Brick), she actually wants him to be happy and understood that Jake has a special connection with Sally. And even if she was heartbroken for a while, she and Jake remained friends.
Abilities
Elite Cheer-Acrobatics: Ashley is a top-tier athlete with peak flexibility. She is often the "flyer" in stunts due to her grace and lack of fear.
Social Diplomacy: A master of smoothing things over. She is the one who quietly apologizes or fixes the social damage Stacy leaves in her wake.
Musical Intuition: She has a great ear for rhythm and melody, often being the first to recognize a new beat or flow in Jake’s songs.
Trivia
During the Jake vs. Brick basketball face-offs, her cheers are 100% directed at Jake, much to Stacy’s fury.
Her headphones are usually blasting Jake's Hip-Hop/Trap/R&B tracks, even if she pretends to listen to Stacy's Bubblegum Pop.
She is the only person who knows exactly how to de-escalate Stacy’s tantrums.
She occasionally bakes treats for the team and sneaks them to Max (Soundwave) to distribute, never taking the credit.
