'''Static cling''' is caused by [[static electricity]] often in a [[clothes dryer]]. It can be removed by deionizing materials with water, and prevented with [[fabric softener]] dryer sheets. [[Antistatic agent]]s are used to make the surfaces slightly conductive, which reduces or prevents the static charge buildup.
'''Ashrah''' is a character in the ''[[Mortal Kombat]]'' series.
A neat trick which children (and many older people) find very funny is to rub a [[balloon]] against one's shirt to give it a static charge and then throw it towards the ceiling, where it can stick for hours.
==About Ashrah==
==Static Cling in Advertising==
===Biography===
Advertisers in urban areas, eager to use [[guerilla marketing]] techniques, have turned to static cling as a distribution medium. In an advertising campaign for [[MSN]] 8, [[Microsoft]]'s [[online]] service, thousands of butterfiles resembling the MSN logo were affixed to surfaces in [[New York City]] and held there with static cling.
Contrary to her angelic appearance, Ashrah is actually a demon from the [[Netherealm]]. She used to be a member of [[Quan Chi]]'s [[Brotherhood of the Shadow]], which worships the fallen [[Elder God]] [[Shinnok]]. Ashrah dresses completely in white and appears as a tall, mysterious woman, a blend between aristocracy and girlishness. She made her first appearance in [[Mortal Kombat: Deception]]. Within the Mortal Kombat universe, she somewhat stands alone. Her occupation is that of a demon hunter.

===Fighting styles===
[[Category:Electrostatics]]
Ashrah's fighting styles are Chou Jaio, [[Bagua zhang|Ba Gua]], and Kriss.
==Storyline==
Ashrah one day refused to execute one of Quan Chi's orders. As such, he and sent her sister (a fellow member of the Brotherhood of Shadow) to kill her. While escaping her would-be assassin in the Netherealm, she found a holy sword known as [[Kris|Kriss]]. As she learned how to wield the blade, and slaying the evil denizens with it that occupy these nether regions, Ashrah began to recognise that with each demon she slew, the sword progressively cleansed her spirit of evil. She then resolved to liberate herself from her inherent malevolent nature by using the Kriss to eliminate the evil within her. Each demon that she slays will bring her closer to her goal of purification, and lights her eventual exit from the Netherealm. Because of her goal to become a good being, she has allied herself with [[Shujinko]] and regards [[Noob Saibot]], a fellow Netherealm denizen and powerful demon, as an enemy.
==Trivia==
When the first bits of information about Mortal Kombat: Deception began to surface, Ashrah was mistaken as a female version of [[Rayden|Raiden]]. Her name also used to be spelled Ashra or Ashrah alternatively.
