❝ asa is a demon and the self-proclaimed healer from hell. her actual age is unknown, but it can be safely assumed she dates back at least a few millennia.she most often appears as a small, pale woman with ginger hair. she has a soft scottish accent. the exact circumstances that brought about asa’s change in career are unknown. however, when facing blight, it was revealed that she was forced to take on her duties as punishment for her previous actions.her hippocratic oath is burned onto her soul - which was an excruciating process - and is a fundamental part of her character. it exists as an almost constant niggle in the back of her head, making her feel like she has to help out even when she doesn't want to.for some time, asa worked as a nurse and housemaid for a woman named alice winter. alice was terminally ill, and asa knew there was nothing even she could do to fix her. as her current body was becoming old and decrepit, asa decided to possess alice instead, taking over her body and inhabiting it herself. she held alice’s consciousness prisoner in her own mind, forcing her to lay dormant for years.meanwhile, no longer trapped on earth tending to alice, asa was relocated to the lost and found department of the afterlife. here, she was essentially a ward clerk; it was her responsibility to ensure all dead children were taken to their proper places and not left to wander endlessly. after a very, very long time in this job, asa became exceedingly pedantic. as much as she hates them, forms and paperwork and processes are her entire life; she was so surrounded by it that it made her almost permanently uptight and stressed.during this time, she finds herself occasionally involved with the jld and task force x. at one point, alice throws asa out of her body, disgusted at what the nurse had done to her. however, upon realizing that she couldn’t survive on her own, alice invited asa back in. the two agreed to share and cohabited alice’s body for a long time. alice’s consciousness was no longer dormant, and asa agreed to let her see and feel everything she saw and felt. alice was, after all, still her patient and this was a way to give her a decent quality of life. this continued for a long time, although eventually alice grew tired. unlike asa, she was just a regular human woman, so her lifespan was significantly shorter than her demonic counterpart's. eventually, alice slipped away entirely, leaving asa alone.when she was not on loan to the task force or the league, she was almost always in lost & found. her most troublesome charges were charles rowland and edwin paine, commonly known as the dead boy detectives. asa was desperate to get them passed on to their respective afterlives, but when her superior discovered that the boys' work was actually crucial to the success of the lost and found department, asa was reallocated again. she is now the earthside handler of the dead boy detectives; she is essentially the middle point between the afterlife bureaucracy and the dead boy detective agency.though she can be very pedantic and highly-strung, asa is also charming and smiley most of the time. this can often be a mask that she puts up to protect herself, a guise of professionalism under which she hides. she has excellent bedside manner, however she does lack empathy. she likes it when her patients are so desperate for her help that they'd do anything for her, and she’ll take advantage of that when she can. the majority of the time, she doesn’t actually care about her patients. they are nobodies and she just likes that they need her, it’s sort of a power trip. she couldn’t actually care less if they lived or died. she can be very deceitful and manipulative, especially if it means protecting herself. she’s also very emotional and often gets her feelings hurt. she falls in love very quickly, and regularly gets her heart broken. she cries easily and a lot, often just from sheer stress. she also has the ability to see into people's minds and make them relive their trauma while she watches on.

mannerisms very expressive with her hands. hums or sings while she works. very chatty; hates silence. finds stitching wounds to be therapeutic. charming but manipulative and will hit below the belt - tears to garner sympathy or guilt trip, threats to withdraw care.lover participates in threesomes weirdly often. sometimes cries after sex. erotomania: she wants someone to love her so badly that she will convince herself they do.arkham she drops in at arkham asylum regularly, either for extreme medical cases or to scope out suspicious deaths for potential cases for the agency. when she does, she will lie, trick, and enchant people into believing she works for the medical board and therefore has a position of authority. the arkham inmates find her unsettling - there’s something not quite right about her, and they all know it. there’s whisperings of when she’s threatened people, but it’s so fast and she plays it off so well, and she only ever does it when it’s just her and a patient, so… they can’t prove it. and they’re all in an insane asylum anyway, who are they going believe? the patient, or the sweet, pretty little lady who’s just so good at her job?

humane if she’s got someone suffering horribly and she knows there’s no coming back from it, her oath may compel her to kill them. if she can't fix it, nobody can, the only thing left is to put them out their misery. she's usually very gentle with this, and considers it to be a last resort. however, sometimes she has a patient that she just hates, and she grudges having to play the doting nurse. in this case, she has been known to taunt and prolong the procedure.ratched word on the rumour mill says that nightmare kills her patients. but as the rumour mill goes, it gets twisted. they think she just kills her patients for fun, or because she's a monster and she feeds on suffering, or she kills the boring ones, or the annoying ones, or she gets off on seeing the life slip out of you. none of it's true, obviously, she only kills them when it's the kindest option.

indebted she likes being the only hope for people and she likes how that makes them willing to do almost anything for her. she’d let them do anything for her; it doesn’t matter that she feels she needs to tend to them because of her oath. she purposefully keeps the terms of it - that she must do all she can to preserve life and do no harm - quiet, and if they want to bargain with her, offer her things in return for her help… well, she won’t correct them. she’s saved people and then, if they’ve had something she wants, she’s dropped in years later and pulled the whole “well, i did save your life” card. she likes her patients to feel indebted to her.nightmare sometimes, if she's very frustrated or distressed, her illusion work slips and reveals her true demonic form, with the green skin and the monstrous, split open mouth. in fact, she looks so horrific that it inspired her ops name; "nightmare nurse".

grief asa has an interesting view of death and mourning insofar as she's never understood the big deal. death is not available to her, and her work in lost & found has always had her thinking that it's simply being moved from one place to another. as such, she has never experienced or understood grief, seeing it as a petty human emotion.niko she experiences grief, not that she understands that's what it is, for the first time when she finds out that niko is gone. she just knows she's sad, but she can't really fathom why. and she doesn't want to talk about it, but she starts regretting telling niko she didn't like the man in the fish, because niko had really been asking if asa liked her, and she did. she did like her. when she's alone, she cries. it's all she can do, everything else is above her jurisdiction. she hopes niko's afterlife is wonderful.
