Ascendant is the outer side or personality, what people notice first about person. It gives lots of everyday traits that are visible for most people who do not get to know person closer.
On the other hand, Sun and Moon govern inner self, motivation, values system. These are the planets that determine what kind of decisions and aspirations a person will pursue in life.
Thus, for example a person with Aries Sun but Virgo Ascendant will appeal like a low-key background character but will actually be willful, domineering, driven and selfish on the inside.
The opposite placement of Aries Ascendant but Virgo Sun will instead be loud, outgoing and attract a lot of attention and will look like a natural leader. However, on the inside the will be a servile people's pleasers.
If there can be a good aspect between like trine and sextile between Sun and Ascendant, then the whole system will be able to work together cohesively.
If there is no aspect like between Virgo and Aries, then the whole thing will look more like a outer façade mask that hides a real self behind it.
For example Lelouch pretends to be just ordinary plain student but is actually a revolutionary leader in disguise.
You might say that he is Pisces or Virgo Ascendant as that is how he appears to his student friends.
However he is Aries, Leo, Sag or Libra Sun as he has ambitions and desire to rule the world.
I might also add something like Cancer moon as he is moody at times and very self-protective.
Other planets each play their own particular role in personality.
For example, Merc governs tactical thinking as well as conversational abilities and habits. If mercury is in Scorpio for example, then person will not be very talkative, but will be very observant and analytical even if other placements suggest they should be outgoing social butterfly.
