Backstory

Weapons
Ash wields her Deck of Dust Card (DDC), called Ferrum Pinnae, and must use her semblance to fully utilize them. The cards themselves appear as tarot cards, but are made of a type of lightweight and durable metal with razor-sharp edges capable of piercing rock. She carries a collection of 78 cards, with half a deck being concealed in each of her sleeves. Each of her cards are infused with dust, which she activates when it's necessary. Ash uses 6 types of dust: earth, ice, fire, wind, impact, and lightning. Doing the math, this means she has 13 cards for each dust type. Ash can throw the cards, use them like daggers, or manipulate them using her semblance. In fact, Ash has developed the talent to shape her cards into different structures, like a shield, platform, or even a singular large blade.

Semblance
Ash's semblance is called Orbit, and gives her a extremely limited control over nearby gravitational fields. Similar to telekinesis, she can move objects by causing them to basically orbit around herself in an oval or circular fashion. However, it is possible for her to move them in other directions although it strains her. However, she cannot generally manipulate an object exceeding 50 lb. or objects further than 15 feet from herself. She is unable to manipulate living creatures, including people and/or Grimm, either. Also, she usually cannot use her semblance very excessively because focusing it on much more than Ferrum Pinnae will strain her.

Fighting Style
Ashlyn is a graceful, defensive, and versatile fighter. She has basic mastery over acrobatics and hand-to-hand combat, although she claims that she's not that good in those areas. She appears to be quite adept in using both her semblance and weapon, especially when in combination. She takes the natural role as support and crowd control.
