There's more than meets the eye in the case of Ash, but at the very least you'll find out he's persuasive and orderly. Of course he's also practical, cheerful and methodical, but in a way they're lesser traits and tained by behaviors of being opportunistic as well. His persuasive nature though, this is what he's often admired for. People often count on this and his loving nature whenever they need help. Nobody's perfect of course and Joseph has less pleasant traits too. His pretentiousness and craziness can cause things to heat up, much to the annoyance of others. Fortunately his sense of order usually softens the worst of it.
