[edit] Fictional character biography

Ashema takes human form while on a mission with Nezarr the Calculator. The two are to sent to retrieve the ultra-powerful son of Reed Richards of the Fantastic Four, Franklin Richards. They were to evaluate him as a new member of the Celestial host, and destroy the Earth left behind, as it had now served its purpose by producing a being on par with themselves.

Ashema, appearing to Franklin as a young black woman in a green overcoat, becomes embroiled in the comics crossover event called Heroes Return. After losing his family to the creature known as Onslaught, Frankling had unwittingly created an alternate universe where they, and other heroes lost to Onslaught, lived on.

Ashema decides Franklin needs to choose one earth to be destroyed. However Franklin teaches Ashema the ability to feel human empathy, and causes her to change her mind about him and humanity. She eventually defies her brethren, and saves Franklin's Counter Earth by storing it inside of her dreams.

However The Dreaming Celestial, a renegade, extends its influence to the Counter Earth, and began corrupting it and Ashema. Ashema retaliates, but fell under the control of the Dreaming Celestial. She is saved by the Fantastic Four and Doctor Doom, and helps recapture the Dreaming Celestial. It is presumed that she left Earth to rejoin the other Celestials, as she has not been seen since.
