Ashley literally requires more attention because she's so much more incompetent. She can't even put dishes away without breaking them. She needs constant supervision. As a child/adolescent this might seem like playing favorites or loving someone more. It's not though. It's like the difference between a toddler and a middle schooler. Obviously the toddler requires more attention because they are not capable of taking care of themselves. Iris and Lily are far more capable and talented than Ashley. They might not be traditionally as "pretty ", but at least they are going to be able to take care of themselves. Ashley can't even write a letter on her own.

She's just got this unwavering picture in her mind of how he should be and is refusing to see the differences in front of her...side note, if you are really afraid of literally being eaten alive, wouldn't the option of smexy time seem far more appealing than letting someone drink your blood? I mean, one of these things is not like the others
OG Violet is a nasty, vindictive, foolish person . Not only did she drive away everyone in her life that loved her due to the plotting and scheming, she didn't learn anything from it. She got a second chance and kept on with the same B.S. that led to her demise the first time
