Ashbie Moon, also called Aspie Girl or Aspie Chan, is a neurodivergent female character who debuted on 4chan's /qa/ board in December 2020. Drawn by the artist @ashbiemoon, she started as a variant of the Pink-Haired Enbie meme and grew into a standalone character with her own family, friends, and slice-of-life comics about autism.

Overview

Ashbie Moon, also called Aspie Girl or Aspie Chan, is an autistic female character known for slice-of-life comics and reaction images about social anxiety, sensory issues, and everyday awkwardness3. She typically wears pigtails and a black bow, and her outfit changed across several design revisions, including her signature blue shirt reading Autism is my Superpower6.

Fans on autism forums have called her a rare depiction that gets the neurodivergent experience right, with some users on /r/aspergirls/ writing that she makes them feel seen. Her look also spawned crossover art with tbh creature plushies, and she is often paired with Apu Apustaja in wholesome romance edits6.

How It Spread

On February 28, 2021, Ashbie's look shifted away from the Derpina base, and artists started producing crossover edits pairing her with Apu Apustaja6. The blue Autism is my Superpower shirt became her signature during this era, until @ashbiemoon updated her shirt logos on September 26, 2021 to drop any association with Autism Speaks.

Fan-made YouTube content pushed her further. On April 25, 2021, user Mox uploaded The Adventures of APU n ASHBIE, a short about Apu and Ashbie falling in love, marrying, and having children, which pulled over 368,000 views within a year1. On November 1, 2021, a Facebook post of Ashbie standing up to bullying Wojak girls (Doomer Girl and Daddy's Girl) went viral and hit over 1.2 million views, 22,000 shares, and 12,000 likes within days. On March 15, 2022, MillenniaThinker's DUALITY OF COOM featured Ashbie next to a Wojak character and passed 610,000 views and 39,000 likes in one year.

Over time, Ashbie developed her own extended cast: best friend Ellie (a Doomer Girl variant), boyfriend Aidan (an Apu Apustaja VR avatar riffing on The Frog Prince), hard-of-hearing friend Heidi, mother Nina, older brother Ashton, younger sister Ashlie, and a Hispanic relative named Luna Martinez6. Her father Ha-Ru is treated as deceased in the lore.

How to Use This Meme

Ashbie is typically drawn in slice-of-life webcomics and reaction images that depict autistic daily life, from sensory overload to social awkwardness. Common edits pair her with Apu Apustaja as a wholesome romantic partner, or place her alongside other Wojak girls to contrast her earnestness with their negativity6.
