| ~ Ash to Gary before starting to torture Mooncake to force the latter to free Invictus. |
Ash Graven is the final antagonist of Final Space, serving as a major protagonist in Season 2 and the final antagonist of Season 3. Originally one of the show's main characters, after a demonic entity called Invictus uses her trauma to its advantage, she ends up becoming one of his top servants. She is also close friends with Little Cato, the adoptive sister of Fox and adoptive daughter of Clarence.
She is voiced by Ashly Burch.
Her Evil Ranking[]
What Makes Her Heinous?[]
- She helped her adoptive father Clarence in stealing from people.
- After finding out that Avocato wasn't Little Cato's real father and that the former killed the latter's parents, she tried to kill Gary and Avocato.
- While this was because she thought she was protecting him, she kidnapped Little Cato.
- She breaks the Lord Commander's hands as revenge for breaking hers, although he deserved it.
- She tortuously drains Mooncake of all his powers to the point of presumably killing him to free Invictus to spite Gary. This is made worse as she is why Invictus ends up being freed and kickstarts it’s plan for the end of all life in every dimension, having known of its destructive plans beforehand, which makes her stand out as she plays an extremely big role in the series' deadliest and most destructive plots to the point here it can't go unnoticed. And because of the show's cancellation, it's possible that Invictus really did win.
- She tries to keep Little Cato in Final Space despite having knowledge of the Final Space Poisoning, which could kill him.
- Although she was fairly comedic in S2, she loses her comedic traits by the end of S3 and is treated dead seriously once she joins Invictus, and her actions end up driving the series to its darkest point.
What Makes Her Inconsistent?[]
- She suffers from a genuine tragedy. In her childhood, she grew up on her home planet Serepentis, in which a fire serpent deity called Werthrent terrorizes the planet by demanding sacrifices to fates worse than death, witnessing her own sister sacrificed in front of her own eyes and was about to be sacrificed too, before unintentionally killing her parents and everyone around her, ends up being used as a tool for some of her adoptive father, Clarence's schemes (although he still loves her) before being betrayed by him, seeing the only mother figure in her life die in front of her, which kick starts her slow sanity slippage, and witnesses what she thought was Gary murdering her adoptive brother and being a product of Invictus' manipulations, and finally snapping when learning that Little Cato was raised by the very man who killed his parents. These moments are all portrayed sympathetically.
- She tried to stop the Lord Commander from manipulating her into joining him and Invictus, although this backfired when the Lord Commander broke her hands so she couldn't use her powers.
- She greatly cares for several people:
- She deeply loved her adoptive brother Fox, with them getting along well, her imediatly going to Fox after finding out he was severely injured, trying to save him from Invictus, and her being greatly traumatized by her brother's death, which partially leads to her descent into villany.
- She cared for her biological sister Harp, trying to save her from Werthrent and crying when she was killed when Werthrent exploded.
- Despite the problems in their relationship, Ash still cared for Clarence, trusting and caring about him enough to inform him about Fox's death and how he could help them get out of Final Space.
- She greatly cares about Little Cato, wanting to protect him from Avocato because she believed he would hurt Little Cato.
- She cared about Nightfall, having a breakdown when she sacrificed herself to free Bolo, keeping her helmet to remember her, and her main criticism towards Quinn is her "being a shell" of what Nightfall was.
- She developed a friendship (and possibly romantic feelings) with a shapeshifting being named Evra, with them destroying uninhabited planets together and even holding hands as they watch the Hidden Lights together.
- She has moral agency issues, presumably due to her pretty major psychosis that prevented her from thinking rationally and affected her view on reality to a great extent she may not know the gravity of her deeds, with taking Little Cato and kepeing him in Final Space provides evidence for, and due to possibly being corrupted by Invictus' influence as her eyes glows purple whenever she is villainous, which is what happens with all people influenced by Invictus, and while she does speak to it directly and speaks as if she was her own person, she would then be merely corrupted by Invictus' dark energy like how Avocato was possessed, in which Invictus forcibly brought out his darkest qualities, which would make it the same case for her.
