Her mum actually filmed the head-shaving moment, but if you watch the footage that later ended up online, you'll notice her dad isn't in it. According to the Duffer Brothers, that's because watching his daughter go through with it was too much for him and he had to step out of the room before it was finished.
League's iconic Frost Archer owes her name to Ashley, the real-life wife of Riot co-founder Marc Merrill. He's even referenced it himself online, joking about being married to the actual Ashe. Naturally, the lore team went ahead and married her to Tryndamere in-game too.

At one point there was a scene inside the Soul Stone where a teenage Morgan Stark, played by 13 Reasons Why's Katherine Langford, tells her dad it's okay if he doesn't make it back.
