| —Episode 11 | ||
Ashley Katchadourian was a member of the Overland Park Cheer Squad most known for being the victim of a verbal attack by Trisha Cappelletti because she was visiting Pearl Harbor with her family instead of watching the door during the events that transpired in Episode 1. Trisha's attack contradicts her comments in Episode 1 when she states that Ashley was in charge of snacks, and not the door. Trisha finally realizes her mistake in Episode 12 after Brittnay Matthews points out that Ashley is actually in charge of snacks. She is now a member of Atchison High Cheer Squad.
Personality
Ashley seems like a friendly person who seems like a normal teenager, but can be very emotionally fragile as she is shown to be in tears after Trisha had yelled at her for no reason. She is shown to suffer from depression, most likely from being in the crossfire of the numerous feuds relating to the cheersquad, and always seems to be the butt of the joke. She is more laid-back than the cheersquad, and is also shown to be air-headed, though less exaggerated than Trisha, and is seen as a doormat to more domineering people, such as Brittnay.
Relationships
Justin Michaelson and Ashley had been dating through out Season 1. In Episode 12, Justin took Ashley to Prom, and when Brittnay's date, Connor Devarnan, leaves her, Brittnay gets mad and storms in to Prom and forcefully makes out with Justin. Ashley sees them making out and says "Um, that’s my boyfriend." Trisha replies saying "Yeah, That’s what you get, Ashley Katchadorian" (Reminding her that it was her fault that Deandra's arms got ripped off in Episode 11, because she wasn’t watching the door.) which causes her to run away crying. After that incident at Prom, Trisha finds out that Ashley is in charge of snacks, and not the door.
Trisha Cappelletti has a lot of issues with Ashley and blames her in Episode 11 for the series of events that led up to Deandra getting her arms ripped off. Trisha believes they are friends, but Ashley actually hates her and is in league with the rival cheer squad.
It is assumed that Ashley hates the cheer squad after being attacked by Trisha, because in the end of Episode 15, Ashley offers help to Rachel andJudith with their problems involving the cheer squad.
The Atchison High Cheer Squad runs into Ashley at the end of Episode 18, and she offers to help them with the Overland Park Cheer Squad, as she did with Rachel and Judith in Episode 15. In Episode 21 she is at cheer-practice and it is evident that she is in league with them, because she gets a call from Tanya Berkowitz. They are later seen in Episode 22, but that “gossip” Ashley said she had, didn’t have anything to do with the cheer-squads routine. In Episode 28, the first part of the Season 2 finale, she joins the Atchison High Cheer Squad.
At the end of Episode 30 Jenna Darabond is seen making out with Justin Michaelson, which possibly means that he is either cheating on her, or they broke up.

Biography
In Episode 1, Deandra walks into the bathroom and is asked who let her in.Trisha wonders why Ashley, who is in charge of snacks, is letting people in the bathroom without consulting the cheer squad. Trisha continues to pursue this conflict up until Episode 11 when Deandra gets her arms ripped off a girl with hopes and dreams.. Ashley then comes back from her vacation and is tiraded by Trisha who blames her for Deandra getting her arms ripped off. However, at prom when Brittnay makes out with her boyfriend, Trisha is reminded that she is actually in charge of snacks, and that it is Jenna Darabond who is in charge of the door.
Because of Trisha's attack, Ashley spends season two coming up with a plan to get back at her and the rest of the cheer squad, and joins their rivals team and steals their routine for Cheer Nationals, but all fails when Overland Park wins the competition.
In the beginning of season three, Jenna Darabond makes her return and sets straight all the confusion about who really was in charge of the door, and admits she called herself Ashley to fool Deandra into using the bathroom, thus causing the chain of events that would make up the whole series. Trisha apologized to Ashley for yelling at her, but since the first episode of season three she hasn't been seen. Whenever Brooklyn Katchadourian, her sister, appears, mentioning that Ashley spends her time at home suffering from severe depression from what happened, stating that it's so bad their mother tries mixing Zoloft into her chocolate milk in the mornings, but it doesn't help.
