DISCLAIMER: RWBY belongs to Rooster Teeth.

~ Ash ~

He has nothing to gain and everything to lose. He is drawn to her as a moth is drawn to a flame. He knows that to her he is little more than a faceless minion, easily replaceable. Not the most useless of her available troops, but not as useful as others.

Something more than a mere pawn, but not a piece that their queen would trade a pawn for, either. He's not a rook and definitely not a knight. A bishop, perhaps. The bishop of black squares? He can accept that as his role in all of this. He will stay by his queen's side for as long as he is able.
