Biography
Ashley James was a Senior at Florida State University in Orlando, Florida. From a young age, Ashley felt like she was different from others. The whole world appeared to her differently. While others saw the world as it was, she saw it as how it could be. Ashley was also extremely agile and was a competitive dancer. Ashley's parents were proud of their "little star". Ashley, however, was unaware that she was not truly their "little star" but was adopted. Ashley was good friends with other Seniors at Florida State University including the charismatic Carter Rodgers, the intelligent Julian Williams, the strong Damon Cartwright, and the artistic Emily Cartwright. When Carter heard about the NASA Student Internship Program, he immediately told Julian, Ashley, Emily, and Damon. Together the five of them applied for the internship and were hired by the leader of the NASA Student Internship Program - Ellis Park.

Soon after joining the Internship Program, Ashley and her friends received the Power Cell Morphers - ancient gems found in a meteor Ellis had excavated. After receiving the Power Cell Morpher, Ashley became the Pink Ancient Warrior Ranger.

For the longest time, Ashley's parents did everything they could to keep her from discovering that she was adopted, but Ashley began to wonder why there weren't any pictures of her birth, her first birthday, or any mementos from her first year as a baby. Ashley also continuously had visions of a planet named Nebula that had been attacked and destroyed. Her parents eventually realized that they needed to tell their "little star" the truth. Upon learning that she was adopted, Ashley was shocked. She had no idea how to react. She was angry that her parents hadn't told her sooner but still understood that if they had told her then she would not have had a normal life.

Ashley began to ask questions about her biological parents - who they were, why they gave her up, where she was born, if she had any siblings, etc. Her parents, however, had no answers. The adoption agency told Ashley's adoptive parents that she had been found on the doorstep of a farmer. He immediately reported the child and gave her to the adoption agency. Ashley's parents, who had been searching for a child due to their infertility, found out about the child and drove to Pennsylvania to make her part of their family. By then Ashley was already one year old, but the adoption agency ensured them that she would have no memory of her original family.

After Maddy Hall and her sister, Aubrey Hall, arrived in Orlando, Florida, Ashley felt like she was somehow connected to Aubrey. The two met and showed each other their special silver rings embedded with magical violet gems. When Aubrey and Ashley held their rings together, the two violet gems created a bright violet light that consumed the two of them. The girls watched as memories surged through their minds of a planet called Nebula. Nebula was made out of the same violet gem as the rings, and the planet was ruled by King _ and Queen _. Queen _ gave birth to a daughter named _ and a year later gave birth to a daughter named _. The entire planet was happy until an attack by the Extinctionors destroyed the planet. The Extinctionors planned on living on the planet they conquered but found that the planet's gems were almost fatal to their race. The Extinctionors left the almost destroyed planet and searched for a new planet to inhabit. While the planet was under attack, King _ and Queen _ sent their daughters - _ and _ down to Earth in order to keep the family line alive.

Aubrey and Ashley realized that they were the two children of the King and Queen, and held each other's hands - illuminating the ring once more. A violet portal appeared and took Aubrey and Ashley to Nebula which was now rebuilt and thriving. Ashley and Aubrey arrived to the welcoming embrace of the entire kingdom and King _ and Queen _, who had survived the attack by the Extinctionors. The King and Queen anointed Ashley and Aubrey as Princesses of Nebula, and Ashley relinquished her ranger powers before moving to Nebula.
