Ashley is more organic or natural in she is who she is. For some reason for example you bleieve who ashley is by her actions and what she says.

True. Authenticity comes through, on the ice and off.
Great potential but unfufilled at least for now. Bradie, Mirai, Ashley, Gracie, Karen - really all could medal at big events including worlds if they got it together
A few facts:
1. Ashley still holds the record for the highest score (I believe) by a U.S. lady in an international competition. Worlds 2016: 215.39.
2. Even in her worst years recently, 2016-17 and 2017-18, Ashley still medaled at a GP: She won Gold at 2016 SA, and Bronze at 2017 SC. Only Bradie also medaled in the 2017 series: she earned a Bronze, at SA.
3. Oh, yeah, and I neglected to mention, upthread, that Ashley is still the only U.S. lady (ETA: except Alyssa Czisny in 2010) to medal at a Grand Prix Final since 2006, if I'm not mistaken. Not once. Ashley medaled Three times.
4. The International Judges like Ashley's skating and reward her when she doesn't UR ... and even when she does. They reward her charisma, her commitment to her programs, her passion, and her musicality.
