Remarkably popular Sk8r Grrl in her senior year of high school.  Like any senior, and part of the "good-at" clique, she's in classes like AP chemistry, is one of the best skateboarders in the Five Burroughs, is preoccupied with getting into one of New York's better colleges, has a boyfriend of nearly 3 years named Trent, and has to think about the (ugh) dress she's going to wear when the Senior Prom comes around.

For her extra curricular activities, she spends her nights as the vigilante YT (see "YT" for more info).
TRAITS:
1.  Extreme Sk8r Grrl:  YT’s been practicing skateboarding since she was 8.  She’s gotten really really REALLY good at it at this point, especially when combined with the fact of her legacy supersoldier powers (see below).  She can also walk on her hands, too.

2.  Legacy Supersoldier:  Like her Grandfather (and her Father, but he plays it on the DL these days), she was born with enhanced physical capabilities as a result of her Grandad’s experience in Project:  Gilgamesh.  She’s faster, tougher (even possessing low level regeneration), and stronger than a normal teenaged girl should be.  She also processes information faster than normal, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg, mentally, because…

3.  Built her own gear:  To partially quote Jeff Bridges in “Iron Man”:  “[Ashley Whittaker] BUILT THIS IN [the basement of her dad’s house], WITH A BOX OF SCRAPS [which she got from dumpster diving, Craigslist, and her meager allowance]!”.  Yes, she’s pretty damn smart when it comes to machines, but also…

4.  Underdeveloped sixth sense:  If she had grown up in a different environment, she might’ve been a powerful psychic.  Alas, she grew up in the city, and as such only has a “danger sense”.  This can give the illusion of her having even faster reflexes than she has…like she knows the bullet is coming before it leaves the barrel.  Keep in mind, this is all instinctual, and largely untrained.

5.  Rule 303—those who have the means have the moral responsibility:  Ever since that day long ago when she stopped a little girl from getting kidnapped by human traffickers, she’s been of a mind that she has an obligation to use her abilities to help people.

6.  High school student:  And there’s the fact that she’s doing this while still a Junior in high school.  Ashley falls somewhere between the “Good-at” and “Floater” cliques, has to downplay her physicality during PE (she has an unfair advantage, after all), and has to deal with the fact that her drummer boyfriend Trent has a tiny crush on YT, and of course has no idea that she’s YT (he IS a musician, mind you).
