Ashley Johnson

Ashley Johnson is a voice actress/actress, and plays the characters Pike Trickfoot and Yasha on Critical Role. The first campaign of Critical Role was her first time playing a pen-and-paper RPG.

Ashley was one of the last players to join the game, and, with few options left, she chose to be a gnome cleric because she thought it would be funny and interesting. She quickly realized just how valuable a character she was when the first battle began.

On her first appearance on Critical Role,, her first and second dice rolls were both natural 20s. Her third dice roll was a natural 1.

When asked who she would switch characters with if she could, Ashley said either Vax'ildan or Grog.

After, Ashley had to leave Los Angeles, California to live in New York City, as she was starring in NBC's Blindspot as the character Patterson. Ashley continued to play via Skype when possible, and she has returned to LA several times during Blindspot&apos;s production hiatus, allowing her to return to Critical Role in person.

During the times when Ashley is not available to play, Pike's absence from the story is usually explained as her staying to work on rebuilding the temple of Sarenrae in Vasselheim or helping to fortify Whitestone.
