Ashcroft

Ashcroft is an Elemental-Type spirit and the Spirit Ally of Kanna Bismarch.

Description
Ashcroft is an Elemental-Type spirit who Kanna Bismarch can channel into an unusual medium: her own cigarette smoke. However, it is currently unknown what Ashcroft's normal spirit form looks like because Kanna has only ever been seen summoning him in his OverSoul form. O.S.: Ashcroft appears as a vaguely medieval knight, clad from head to toe in thick silver armor, wielding a impressively-sized lance. He is very proper and respectful, referring to Kanna as "Milady" whenever he addresses her. One technique that O.S.: Ashcroft can use is "Burst Joust", where he pierces the enemy with his lance and expands its tip inside the target to cause additional internal damage.

Kanna has claimed that Ashcroft somehow prevents the cigarette smoke that she inhales from endangering her health, for the most part. However, this does little to counter Kanna's smoking addiction.

History
In 150,081 CMT, Kanna Bismarch summoned Ashcroft in his OverSoul form via her cigarette smoke as she and her friends prepared to battle Grudge outside the Vesica Piscis. Kanna ordered Ashcroft to execute his "Burst Joust" technique, so Ashcroft obeyed and stabbed his lance into Grudge's side, which then began to expand and disrupt the cohesion of Grudge's form. Kanna dismissed Ashcroft when she noticed that their attacks, combined with those of Matilda Matisse, Jack, Marion Phauna, Chuck, Haruko Haruhara, Mamimi Samejima, Morphine, Moss, and Viriathus, had successfully damaged Grudge's physical form past the point of regeneration.
