New (and very shy) Character
Hi all! For anyone I don't know, I'm Tri, and I'm here to try out Auri from Patrick Rothfuss's Kingkiller Chronicles. This is definitely an experiment, because Auri is going to be A CHALLENGE to get close to. If you and your characters are willing to be very careful and gentle and patient, though, she's whimsical and clever and can be a delight. I love her. Hopefully we can make something work.
A bit about Auri!
She's very skittish around people. She spends most of her time underground setting places and inanimate objects to rights on a small scale. She was a student of Alchemy and Naming (the true names and nature of things). It's likely that the latter is the reason her mind doesn't work along ordinary lines anymore, possibly with some trauma also playing a part. If she were caught, she would be put into Haven, which is the University's version of a mental institution. Instead, she has lived in a network of tunnels under the university for years. Auri's mind broke, but in a way that left her smart and well able to take care of herself. Though she was clearly admitted to the university quite young, she's also older than she looks.
(If you're canonblind and looking for a more well-known example of the sort of broken her mind is and the way she sees the world, Auri and River Tam might get along swimmingly.)
