Thank you for the seemingly useless info. I shall cherish it like my own child.

LMAO!!! ah well

Did u look up Ashra or Ashrah??

i didnt look it up.. i knew what it meant anywayz... lol, did i spell sumthin wrong?

The character's name is 'Ashrah.'

lol, ok ok, me change it then!

yeah its true i just asked my Arabic father. lol

Ashrah means 10. Don't ask, had to take a year arabic in school. That was hell. The word for seven is sab'a.

Why did Boon pick her name to mean "10"? Maybe he thought it sounded cool. There could be a meaning behind it. She could be Arabic.

Ashrah is a terroist.

Learn to spell, asshead.

I think there was a post a while back saying that Ashrah was the name of a mythological goddess of sex, or fertility, or something. I'm not saying it isn't also Arabic for 10, but it seems more likely Boon and co. got it from the mythological Ashrah.

The Last 'Ashrah
The month of Ramadhan enjoys and intrinsic superiority over all the other months of the year. Likewise, it’s last ‘Ashra or ten days are superior to the two earlier ‘Ashras, and lailatul Qadr or the Night of Power, generally, falls in it. That is why, the sacred Prophet (SAW) devoted himself more intensively to prayer and other forms of worship during it and urged others, also, to do the same.
Ayesha (RA) related to us that "the Apostle of God (saw)strove harder and took greater pains to observe prayer etc., during the last ten days of Ramadhan than during the other days."

Muslim

It is related by Ayesha that "when the last ten days of Ramadhan began the Apostle of God would gird up the loins and keep awake in the nights (i.e., he used to spend the whole of the nights in prayer and worship), and, also, wakened the members of his family (so that they, too, could partake of the blessings of the nights of that month)."

Have no idea if any of this is true.

You people think way too deep into things. I'm 100% positive that the meaning of her name, has nothing to do with her character.

oops, it's funny how people always correct other people for small mistakes in their typing.

I believe that Ashrah is actually a goddess, I don't know I saw it in a thread somewhere it might've been a thread I'm not sure... I do know "Ashrah" is mentioned in Hebrew religion.

I believe she would be the tenth one to face the dragon king.

Ashrah was a goddess of fertility worshipped by the Arabs before Mohammed and also for a time worshipped by the Jews.

where did u get that info about arab's worshiping something called ashra from?

That would explain Ashrah's characther. Boon has confirmed that the Ashrah in Deception is a demon hunter, so the highly religious meaning behind her name would mak sense.
