Full Name: Ashton Rae Michaud (nee Greene)
DOB: November 17, 1987
Age: 24
Gender: Female
Occupation: Former Rouge dancer/musician, currently free lance dancer/musician
AI: Dianna Agron
History: Ashton was born into money. Actually, she was born in London to Henry and Jane Greene, but her father owned a chain of banks throughout the London British Isles, which made the family a little over a million pounds a year. Although her family was rich, her parents tried to keep their children (Ashton and her older sister, Delilah) living lives similar to those of normal children their age. They were home schooled; put into extra-curricular activities; and though incredibly spoiled, raised with the expectations to be good people (especially in the public eye). She still strives for perfection, but the eye of the public doesn’t matter to her anymore. Growing up, she was meant to be proper and do as she was told-- the paragon of wealth and good breeding. But In the frustration of living a sheltered life, Ashton found ways to act up and out. Her parents gave up on hiring nannies after several resigned because of Ashton’s pranks and sharp tongue.
From the age of three, she received lessons in music and dance, something her older sister, Delilah never caught onto, preferring to excel in academics than in performance.
Her mother, a musician, supported her in her pursuit of the arts, but when her mother was diagnosed with brain cancer in 2002, Ashton had to turn to the half-hearted support of her father when it came to the arts. After her mother's death in 2003, though, her father emotionally checked out. So Ashton, alone and distraught, threw herself into her art and found momentary solace in relationships. The party scene became her playground and all the work her parents had put in to keep her face off of tabloids went to waste as she appeared in compromising picture after compromising picture. When her father checked back in to reality, he was furious. After a long fight, Ashton decided to get out of the house she had been living in and go, now 19, to University.
Ashton was accepted into Falmouth University, but her father, when speaking of it in an interview, still angry, made it sound like she was too stupid to get in, so he paid her way.
She finished her three year degree at Falmouth with high marks, her reputation pock marked and scarred as she looked for work as a dancer and musician instead of taking on the family business like intended. Delilah married into a family of entrepreneurs, taking on her husbands business in a chain of restaurants. Ashton told her father she didn’t want the family business. She wanted to perform. So her father, still distrustful of her decision-making abilities, made an agreement with her: if she married a man, hand-picked by him, with wealth and a good job, he would support her career choice and he wouldn't write her out of the will and inheritance. He quickly arranged marriage with Natalie and Lucian Michaud’s son Damien, the wealthy son of a politician.
To assert her final year of independence and Bachelorette-hood, she went to Paris, under the façade as a Political Science student to keep her father from getting too suspicious. But the last person she expected to be in Paris was Lucian Michaud, the father of her newly arranged fiancé.
Admittedly, in her loveless but civil arrangement with Damien, Ashton had turned to Lucian in search for a friend,a n ally, in this agreement, and for Ashton, that turned into an attraction.
Ashton expected Lucian to help the wedding, to be a friend, a father-in-law. But what she didn't expect was to move in with Lucian, for Lucian and Natalie to divorce, and for Lucian to reciprocate that same feeling Ashton had for him.
Their love affair was whirl-wind and fervid, and as they fell in love behind everyone's back, her father remained oblivious, Natalie remained estranged, and Damien struggled with being open about his own sexuality. Her friends and Delilah were the only people who knew, and they weren't talking.
When Ashton found out she was pregnant, a baby boy, with Lucian's baby, her engagement with Damien hung in confusion. But now, that's in the past. She and Lucian are married, and together, are raising their first child, Gregory.
Personality: Ashton defies the conformity of her heiress lifestyle. She is no longer the crazy party girl she once was, but she didn't follow in her sister's by-the-book footsteps. Ashton is determined not to live the life of an heiress, but the life of an artist. Ashton is a very opinionated person, willing to stand by her feelings and thoughts no matter what the cost, she's very rash and reckless, but even when she's in over her head, she takes the reins and steers her life wherever it is she wants it to go.
