Ashley Armbruster, more commonly referred to as Ashley A.,[3] is the leader of the Ashley clique in the series Recess.

Personality[]

Ashley A. is a spoiled, snobby and usually mean nine year old rich girl. Her primary interests include fashion, boys and gossip with her best friends. Ashley met the rest of the Ashleys one day when they were in kindergarten at a playground where all their hats they've been wearing were blown off their heads and when they went to get them, they bumped into each other and introduced themselves, becoming friends. Because they were all wearing purple that day, a tradition was formed among the girls to all wear purple on the anniversary of the day they met, thus calling it Purple Day. Ashley A., was once kicked out of the clique for accidentally forgetting to wear purple on 'Purple Day', although she returned to the clique at the end of the episode.

Despite being vain and stuck-up, she has shown to be nice on a few occasions. During the time where kicked out of the clique, she befriended Gretchen and became friends with her. On many other occasions, she has also sought help from T.J. and his friends, who she usually socially snubs.

Family[]

Ashley lives with both of her parents. Her mother, who has only been seen in "Parents' Night", has been shown to look and act very similarly to her. Her father was never shown onscreen, but has been mentioned a few times. He often spoils her. She has a seven-year-old brother named Tyler, who is a member of the similar rich boy clique, the Tylers and five-year-old sister named Brittany, who doesn't appear to be in a clique with the other Brittanys.

Relationships[]

In the episode "Officer Mikey", Menlo revealed to have had a crush on her, which she never felt in return. There have been various hints in the series that she may have a crush on T.J.
