Ashley Kemp

Ashley Kemp is a Junior at Devil's Lake High School, member of the chess team, the daughter of Charles Kemp and the younger sister of Blake Kemp.

Personality
In contrast to her brother's aggressive, jockish personality, Ashley is introverted and studious. She maintains high grades, but has difficulty with class participation and extracurricular activities. She confides in Suzy Tan that she is worried that these deficits will make it difficult to get into a top-ranked college and ultimately her shyness will prevent her from achieving her dreams.

Friendship with Suzy Tan
Ashley and Suzy have known each other since elementary school. In season 2, Suzy's feelings are hurt when Ashley responds to her texts less and less frequently. When Ashley fails to respond to Suzy's plea for assistance when she becomes stranded at the gravel quarry, Suzy angrily deletes Ashley's number from her phone, then instantly regrets doing so. When Suzy confronts Ashley about this in season 3, Ashley explains that she felt abandoned when Suzy dropped out of school, leaving her with no close friends. They apologize to each other and vow to stay friends. In season 4, it is revealed that Suzy has had a crush on Ashley the entire time. This may explain why Blake is so hostile towards Suzy, as he sees her as a bad influence who might derail Ashley's promising future. When Suzy tries to subtly confess the crush to Ashley over the phone, she interprets Ashley's oblivious reaction as a sign that she doesn't reciprocate the feelings.

Maudling Duplicate
When DEA Agent Rashad Jones is captured by the Maudlings, they use the Seeing Box to search through his memories for information about Suzy. It is revealed that Rashad had been listening in on the phone conversation in which Suzy tried to confess her feelings for Ashley. Using photographs from a local news article about Ashley's recent regional chess tournament win, Deemlind is able to mutate a Maudling drone into a physical duplicate of Ashley. The duplicate still speaks in the voice and cadence of a Maudling, making unfit as a spy. Deemlind later offers the duplicate to Suzy in exchange for her cooperation. Horrified and disgusted, Suzy vows to erase the Maudlings from the face of the Earth.
