Ashly
Raiti
Age: 24
Hair: Brown.
Eyes: Brown.
Height: 5'4"
Personality: Perfectly happy to keep interaction with people she doesn't know very well to a minimum, Ashly much prefers to spend time with the world inside her head. Sometimes, she writes what's there.
Likes: Reading, weird techno, yaoi.
Dislikes: All-nighters, Pepto Bismol, randomly mean people.
Ashly would never: Grow her nails long. Try to turn a cartwheel. Part with her jacket. Want to be a member of the undead.
Random fact: Ashly thinks that turtles and snails are the best animals, ever- but snakes and bats are certainly high on the list.

I'll try to keep this short. I was born and raised in the Philippines. I now reside in California's central coast. Lots of stuff happened in between.
Now that I've caught everyone up on the last 25 years of my life, let's talk about what really matters... like why my self-portrait looks so peeved. Some subconscious manifestation of my frustratration at my artistic inadequacy, perhaps. Or maybe I just thought it looked funny. I dunno, really.
I also have this habit of writing bios in the wee hours of the morning... when I tend to ramble... and am quite incoherent... and use too many ellipses.
I also draw, occasionally.
