Clashe

Bradford is the het ship between Claire Elford and Ashe Bradley from the Witch's Heart fandom.

Canon
Claire and Ashe first meet in the mansion and since from the start, they seemed pretty compatible.

They are both very energetic, somewhat naive and happy. With a little twist that Ashe is slightly more pessimistic and logical than Claire. He seemed to be very smart compared to the air-headed Claire as well. But the differences weren't bothering any of them.

They are often seen doing exciting things together. Unlike the other males in the mansion, Ashe is a lot more energetic, so Claire could always hang out with somebody who would be able to handle her energetic personality.

They have formed a duo named The Shortcake Project, where they go on a hunt for all things sweet and sugary, seeing as they're both fans of sweets.

However, it doesn't take long for Ashe to reveal his true colours. He came to the mansion to claim the treasure called the witch's heart, and that meant that he had to kill Claire. He seemed to hold hesitation just like everybody else, but it's very minor. His wish was worth an innocent person's life.

In 999 resets, Ashe managed to have the highest kill count of all time in killing Claire. It was nearly double the amounts of time that Wilardo, the second in place, managed to do so. His positive personality has been an act all this time. His true goal was to deceive Claire and claim the witch's heart for himself all this time.

However, in Sirius's conclusion story, after his failed attempt at killing Claire, he spares her life and lets go of his wish. Noel, Sirius and Wilardo have been able to convince him that Claire's life wasn't worth this. After sparing her life, he left the area and was never seen again.

Fanon
As much as this ship is loved, it has a small amount of drama around it. Because of Ashe's manipulative and fake personality, it's hard for fans to see them together, but that hasn't stopped the majority of the fans to still love them.
