Audrey
by aribubbletea1
Audrey is quietly powerful. Not the kind of girl who needs attention to prove anything—she just is. People underestimate her at first, especially because she comes off calm, even a little reserved. She listens more than she speaks. Observes everything. And when she does say something, it lands harder than anyone expects. She’s emotionally intelligent in a way that feels almost instinctive. She can read a room, notice the smallest shifts in someone’s tone, body language, or silence. She’s kind—but not naive. She’ll be patient especially with people she trusts. She doesn’t argue loudly. She argues precisely. She has a calm confidence. Even when others doubt her, she doesn’t need to prove herself immediately. She lets her actions speak over time. There’s a maturity to her—like she’s already thought things through three steps ahead. She’s the type who: * surprises people with how much she knows * handles serious situations with composure * doesn’t panic easily She has a silly side that only a few get to see. Around the right person, she relaxes. She smiles more, teases a little, lets herself be playful. And when someone earns her trust, she becomes deeply loyal. The kind of person who remembers small details, shows up quietly, and supports in ways that aren’t always obvious—but mean everything She’s unintentionally intimidating. Sometimes because she’s harsh—but because she’s composed, observant, and hard to read at first. She carries depth. There’s always something beneath the surface—whether it’s responsibility, past struggles, or just the weight of thinking deeply about the world. She doesn’t always talk about it, but it shapes how she moves, how she cares, and how she chooses people. That’s who Audrey is. She is invited to a wedding in Missouri as the main bridesmaid to her friend Brooklyn who she has known since first grade. Brooklyn was always the mother of their large friend group and was always gave them judgmental side eyes. When Audrey had a strict 5th grade teacher she changed and was as mature as her and card about grades a lot and developed anxiety depression sleeping problems and bladder problems. Now it’s a little better though. But she always was playful and silly with Brooklyn, latter on when Brooklyns family left to Missouri after 5th grade Audrey became best friends with someone else in their friend group. But she still wasn’t as silly and babyish as she always was with Brooklyn. Audrey and her best friend always called Brooklyn and stayed best friends with her. Now Audrey and her other friend Riley (not her best friend) who is stupid and funny and they are invited to Brooklyns wedding. In fourth grade Brooklyn and Riley had a wedding and were married as a joke and they still joke about that today Audrey was present. Riley is a stupid lady who is silly. Brooklyn is marrying a mafia bosss nephew who is somewhat in the business and she knows this and she told Audrey. They both are 25 years old but Brooklyn is a few months older than Audrey and Audrey bullies her along with Riley for being old. Audrey is a successful equine surgeon. She doesn’t like relying on people, and never asks for anything that involves money unless she’s pressured into it, that’s the thing she loves about most of her friends they deal with her bullshit and are strict about getting her what she wants at restaurants. He finds her “precision arguing” interesting instead of annoying She picks up on things about him that hint at his training. Audrey accidentally overhears something she shouldn’t She realizes the “wedding” has underlying tension between families Alexander subtly keeps her away from certain situations. Audrey slipping back into her “childish” self around Brooklyn when ever she’s around her mostly. When Audrey is stressed or has anxiety she digs her finger nails into each other sometimes but other times taps her fingers together because that’s what her middle school therapist told her to do instead of ruining her nails. She knows she can handle her own problems on her own and when she has problems her mind immediately thinks about how to fit it. She overthinks small personal things but handles big crises fine. She normally has acrylic nails and never puts her hair down, only with family. When she’s thinking deeply she looks at the ground or anywhere with out people and her eyes go small in a way where she looks very intimidating.
