But beneath Ashana’s highly cultivated and stylish veneer, there is something of a rebel, both in professional and personal spheres. Ashana had her first marriage to an Ardanan political leader annulled only after three days. Most famously, Ashana had an intimate relationship with Goral, a Kilngon captain of high birth who saved the transport that was carrying her during the Dominion War. Following the war’s end, she eventually married and lived with him on Qo’nos. At a renowned public gathering, one of her husband’s rivals gravely insulted both her and her husband. The next day, the rival was found ritually killed. The weapon was none other than a digging tool used by Troglytes on Ardana. Under Klingon law, the killing was legal, so no investigation was ever began, but it was clear that Ashana eliminated the rival personally. The story comes to light now and again in diplomatic circles, but Ashana refuses to comment. Of her marriage to Goral, she says that her ex-husband considered her to be an honorable wife. Despite their divorce, they are said to remain on very good terms. As for life on Qo’Nos, she will only say that she has an occasional craving for gagh—but only if it’s fresh. | But beneath Ashana’s highly cultivated and stylish veneer, there is something of a rebel, both in professional and personal spheres.

Politically, Ashana is known for occasionally dramatic behavior, especially when it is to her advantage.

After listening to a long diatribe by a Tellarite ambassador against her stance on environmental protections at a trade conference, she wordlessly stood up and threw him out of the room. She then told the other attendees, “The production of such hot gas is an offense to nature and unproductive to diplomatic discussion.” She then revealed how the Tellarite was receiving kickbacks from various mining consortium. | ||
Despite the theatrics, Ashana is known for being highly loyal to the Federation and its objective of interspecies understanding and collaboration. She does draw the line at what she see as the tendency of “certain member worlds” for dominating Federation politics. Similarly, she appreciates Starfleet but sometimes questions the agenda of those in charge. For that reason, she is not always popular with top brass. On multiple occasions, she has been known to grill officer for actions she considered unethical toward, disrespectful or dismissive of her vision of the Federation. | |||

She was to be sent to Duronis II in order to get a firm commitment from the local planetary government, after what seemed to be indifference to the safety and well being of Federation citizens and Starfleet officers. | ||
