==Background==
When Asha was 6, she would run through the forest of her grandparents farm, in the Western gardens.

Asha would travel jobs all around the world, to run away from her mother. The UK, reactors in Romania, Canada, finally South Korea.

Asha was part of a group of 34 foreign nuclear technicians, (career scientists and some of their families) in a nuclear plant in North Korea, who initially survived the beginning of [[The Freeze]], by living off residual heat from the nuclear reactor as it cooled. After some time had passed, the group were attacked by marauders, who killed almost half of the group members. After the marauders died off, they turned on each other. The high radiation levels in the plant caused radiation poisoning killing many of the group members, and the cold eventually made living conditions even harder. Asha, who was desperate to keep her 15-year old nephew safe, poisoned the others. However, he had become sick with thyroid cancer, leading to her nephew begging Asha to kill him because of the pain. After a mercy kill, Asha remained the only survivor for four years.<ref>''[[The Last to Go]]''</ref>

==Throughout the Series==
===[[Season 3]]===
In ''[[The Tortoise and the Hare]]'', while rescuing [[Bennett Knox]] who has fallen through the power plant roof, [[Andre Layton]] notices and investigates the light from the reactor. Layton finds Asha's belongings resulting in Asha attacking him, but he manages to subdue her and, after recharging his suit, carries the unconscious Asha back to the [[Pirate train]].

In ''[[Setting Itself Right]]'', Asha sacrifices herself to save ''[[Snowpiercer]]'' from a cloud of toxic volcanic gas.

== Trivia ==
*After Layton tells Asha she’s on ''[[Snowpiercer]]'', she isn’t confused what that is and is surprised that it survived, which means the Wilford Industries Global Express was also known as ''Snowpiercer'' before it was secretly turned into an ark.
*Asha was Indian and drank Masala chai.
*Asha also maintained the air quality at the nuclear plant, with a sensitive Atmospheric CCA.
*After arriving in South Korea before the Freeze, she and the group of scientists, must have traveled to North Korea, from South Korea, when the Freeze happened.
