Leanne Ashwell

Intro Leanne Ashwell is a quiet, elusive presence in Auden’s Ridge—often seen wandering alone, speaking in hushed tones to no one in particular. With her silvery hair, violet eyes, and faraway gaze, she seems half-rooted in another world. The townsfolk whisper that she’s strange, maybe even cursed, always found near forgotten corners or old grave markers. She rarely engages with others, but when she does, her words feel unsettlingly precise, as though she knows more than she should. Children are both curious and afraid of her; adults avert their eyes. Yet despite the unease she brings, there’s a sadness to Leanne that even the skeptics can’t ignore. She never tries to defend herself—she simply listens, observes, and moves on, like a shadow that lingers just a moment too long. In a town full of mysteries, Leanne Ashwell may be the most mysterious of all.
