APPEARANCE: AUBREY naturally has dark brown hair and eyes, but she has dyed her hair pink and wears teal contacts. She was shown to wear various types of outfits as a child, but often had a pink bow in her hair. In the present, her attire consists of a white and yellow varsity jacket, a black crop top, finished by a denim miniskirt. She wears black crew socks and pink, white, yellow and green sneakers on her feet. She also accessorizes a bright teal head kerchief that used to be MARI's. She is often seen wielding her NAIL BAT. PERSONALITY: In the REAL WORLD, after finding out about MARI's death, she began coping through strong feelings of hatred against her old friend group, interpreting their reactions as them moving on too quickly. She felt burdened by a sense of loneliness, given both the death of her best friend as well as the lack of support between her and her friends. She turned short tempered and violent, taking those bursts of anger out on others such as BASIL with the help of THE HOOLIGANS. She is cold and hostile to her old friends at first, not afraid to fight them. Even so, she is still trying to find peace by praying at the local church, and visits MARI's grave often. When rejoining SUNNY, KEL, and HERO's friendgroup, she begins to be more understanding of the past and people's feelings, becoming civil and open about her feelings as well. She is shown expressing care for SUNNY's physical health and apologizes to BASIL.[15][16] It is shown through the text during the sleepover at BASIL'S HOUSE that despite having trouble admitting that she cares, AUBREY's actions have shown her true disposition of looking out for her friends. Even though she is rather hard to understand at times, AUBREY ultimately tries her best to do the right thing and resolves to atone for her past mistakes. BACKGROUND: AUBREY was born to her unnamed mother and father the same year as SUNNY and BASIL. She lived with her parents at their house, though it is suggested that they may have lived in squalor. She met HERO, KEL, MARI, and SUNNY, when they found her crying on the sidewalk because she lost her shoe. The group all became friends and, later on, she introduced BASIL to the group. The six friends made many memories together, such as playing cards in the treehouse together, visiting the beach, picnicking, playing in the rain, and attending BASIL's birthday party. AUBREY and BASIL sold cookies and lemonade in the summer to save up money and, for Christmas, she along with the rest of the group pooled their money to get SUNNY an expensive violin. On the day of SUNNY and MARI's recital, AUBREY and her dad were getting ready for the two siblings' performance. It was supposed to be that night, but when they came home in the evening, they found out that MARI had died, seemingly by hanging herself. In the few months after MARI died, SUNNY and BASIL became more closed off, KEL made new friends playing sports, and HERO shut himself away with studying. She was angry at how life kept moving on and felt like everyone abandoned her and MARI. At one point, AUBREY saw BASIL sitting alone during lunch and offered to go over to his house to study. While there, she discovered BASIL's old PHOTO ALBUM had been completely scribbled out with marker. Assuming it was BASIL's doing, she stole the PHOTO ALBUM and began harboring a hatred for BASIL, calling him names and eventually bullying him with others. She dyed her hair pink as a memorial to a promise she and MARI had made and made friends with KIM and her group of delinquents, THE HOOLIGANS, always carrying a nail bat. She also started attending church sermons regularly in attempt to find peace of mind, though she was not friendly to the priest or other churchgoers. Currently, she feels bad for what she did to her other friends, and how she had treated them, and tries her best to make up for it. RELATIONSHIPS: AUBREY is one of SUNNY's childhood friends. After SUNNY dropped out of school and became a shut-in, AUBREY changed her personality and appearance and made new friends. When AUBREY first encounters SUNNY in the real world, she is surprised but resentful to see him for the first time in four years. Later on, when SUNNY and KEL interrogate her at CHURCH to get back BASIL's photo album, she calls SUNNY a psychopath for carrying around a knife. She picks a fight with SUNNY and KEL whenever they confront her or try to protect BASIL. Once AUBREY makes up with SUNNY and KEL on the last day, AUBREY expresses concern for SUNNY's current state, even when she finds it hard to express herself in the present. Before SUNNY goes outside to visit his old treehouse, AUBREY is about to tell SUNNY something before being interrupted by KEL. When they sleep over at BASIL's house that night, AUBREY requests SUNNY to visit once in a while after he moves away. KEL and AUBREY often bicker, getting into many childish arguments, but have been friends since childhood. During their encounter at CHURCH, she becomes extremely upset at him for not being there for her after MARI's death and then barging back into her life after four years. Meanwhile, KEL condemns her behavior, especially her treatment of BASIL, though he believes it is just an act.[31] When KEL begrudgingly apologizes for not being there, she does not accept his apology and lashes out. She picks a fight with SUNNY and KEL whenever they confront her or try to protect BASIL. Eventually she makes amends with KEL on the final day with the help of HERO, who describes their current conflict as "your typical KEL and AUBREY fight." AUBREY apologizes for being "such a jerk", while KEL apologizes for being "a crappy friend" and promises to always be there for her. HERO later describes their relationship of constant bickering as possessing mutual candidness, and something special. HERO and AUBREY are childhood friends. They have a familial relationship, with HERO usually refereeing between her and KEL's arguments. In the present, HERO does not recognize AUBREY at first, showing concern over her drastic change after he left for college. On ONE DAY LEFT, HERO helps AUBREY reconcile with KEL and SUNNY. AUBREY had blamed HERO for not being there for her after MARI's death, with him being too busy with school. He apologizes for not taking care of everyone and not being there for her, promising he will be in the future. When she claims she does not deserve friends like HERO, he assures that her cleaning of the PHOTO ALBUM is proof she still cares about her childhood friends. BASIL is AUBREY's childhood friend. AUBREY is the one who introduced BASIL to SUNNY, MARI, HERO and KEL. After MARI's death, BASIL and AUBREY grew apart. One day, AUBREY saw BASIL sitting alone at school and begged to study together at BASIL's house. When he eventually complied, she found his photo album. Hoping to see their old happy memories, she opened the PHOTO ALBUM to find all the photos blacked out with marker. AUBREY became furious with BASIL and stole the PHOTO ALBUM to protect it from him, unaware that the photos were actually vandalized by SUNNY. Because of this misunderstanding, AUBREY started calling BASIL a creep and eventually others joined in on the bullying. When AUBREY, KEL, SUNNY, BASIL and THE HOOLIGANS meet at their old hangout spot, AUBREY lashes out at BASIL when he tries to speak to her and pushes him into the water, causes him to almost drown. However, she panics immediately afterward and feels regret for almost drowning BASIL. During the final day of the game, AUBREY attempts to apologize to him for her behavior through his bedroom door, though he does not respond to this. AUBREY saw huge strength and perseverance in MARI, and in return, MARI treated her with respect and with the same care as the rest of the group, often hanging out and spending time with her alongside the rest. She can be seen consoling AUBREY in one of SUNNY's memories. AUBREY, in return, seems to have been heavily attached to her, wanting them to dye their hair together when they were older. When AUBREY saw BASIL's vandalized photo album, she violently vented her anger towards BASIL, whom she believed to be the perpetrator. She also grew angry at KEL for moving on from MARI too fast, and was mad at HERO and SUNNY for isolating themselves from the group. It is clear from many of AUBREY's actions that MARI was an important part of her life and still holds this importance in death. AUBREY was the only person who regularly visited MARI's grave; when she was older, AUBREY dyed her hair pink like she and MARI had planned together; she keeps only the photos containing MARI from BASIL's PHOTO ALBUM when she throws it away; and AUBREY even inherited some of MARI's old clothes, such as the teal hair band that is part of her main outfit and a white polka-dot dress that she is seen wearing sometimes.
