Ashlyn Caswell is a main character in Disney+ High School Musical: The Musical: The Series. She is portrayed by Julia Lester.
Background[]
- Voted “Most likely to read your palm.”
Ashlyn's brash and gutsy attitude overshadows her "new kid" self-doubt. A slightly woo-woo horoscope reader, she's finding her place in the school hierarchy. Or trying to. (It helps that her cousin E.J. is a senior.) Ash is an aspiring songwriter on the sly. Whether she's cast in the musical or not, she's got her eye on student council.
We know she is a feminist since her locker has stickers that say "my body, my choice" and a female symbol with a fist inside the circle on the top of the female symbol.

Solo Songs[]
