- "I grew up in the mountains with my father, who was a knight in his own right. He taught me the arts of war as though I was his son. Of course, lessons in common courtesy were not part of the regimen, so forgive me if I come off as rude, yeah?"
- — Ashei

Biography 
Edit
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
Ashei is the daughter of a former Knight of Hyrule, but was raised outside of Hyrule, due to her father having trouble with one of his superiors. She is a formidable warrior who was taught the ways of the sword and war at an early age by her father.
During the Twilight invasion, while helping the Resistance, she spends most of her time studying the Yeti tribe of Snowpeak. To protect herself from the cold weather of the region, she wears a Yeti pelt outside her armor. Link meets up with her at Snowpeak, where she gives him a sketch of Yeto that she drew, which Link uses to ask the Zoras of Zora's Domain about the the Yeti and the Reekfish he is holding in the sketch.
When Link is attacked by Lizalfos and Bulblins at Hyrule Castle, Ashei is seen with the Resistance defending Link, shooting down Bulblin archers with a bow. Later, she is seen together with Resistance members exploring the ruins of the Temple of Time during the ending credits.

Theories Edit
Theory warning: This section contains theoretical information based on the research of one or several other users. It has not been officially verified by Nintendo and its factual accuracy is disputed.
Connection to Gonzo Edit
It is possible that Ashei has some connection with Gonzo, one of Tetra's pirates from The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, as both of them are very gruff and masculine and tend to append the word "yeah?" to the end of their sentences. Ashei's father is claimed to have been a Knight of Hyrule; in The Wind Waker, there is a portrait hanging in the sunken Hyrule Castle depicting Princess Zelda surrounded by knights bearing resemblance to Tetra's pirates, one of which bears a resemblance to Gonzo. Because Twilight Princess and The Wind Waker take place at the same time but in different timelines, it may be that this knight is actually both Ashei's and Gonzo's father (or some sort of common ancestor), having fathered them both in different timelines.
Snowpeak Ruins Edit
It is believed by some that Ashei once lived in the Snowpeak Ruins, a partly destroyed mansion located atop Snowpeak. This is supported by many facts: firstly, she claimed to have been raised by her father 'in the mountains'. As there are only a small number of mountains in Hyrule, it is possible she could be referring to Snowpeak. In the ruins - which happen to be filled with old weapons, possibly pertaining to Ashei's warrior upbringing - there are several portraits of an unnamed figure which is theorized to be her father. Lastly, Ashei is shown to possess a yeti pelt she occasionally wears, and the only place inhabited by such creatures would be the mountains of the Peak Province.
However, by the events of the game, there are, in fact, two yetis, Yeto and Yeta, living in the mansion. Thus, it seems that if it were indeed her home, she would have known something related to its new guests. Also, the house appears to be very old, and many of the rooms have gaping holes in the ceiling and floors and walls completely encased in ice, while Ashei herself is a young woman. Thus, there would have to have been a good reason for her to have left the mansion.
