Name
Audrey Melissa Crowley
Age
15
Physical Description
Even at the young age of 15 years, Audrey's appearance turns heads. Her fresh faced looks are rare in the small town of Ashenport, where the residents have already graduated from their teenaged years. Standing at the height of 5'5", she would be considered at an average height, but she claims that she is short. Audrey's curly brown hair is often straightened, and despite being a small town girl, she does her best to keep up with the latest trends, and it seems that straight hair is all the rage these days. Her sparkling brown eyes are full of mischief and laughter, easily showing the simplistic emotions that she feels on a daily basis.
Role
Caretaker's daughter
"Just a small town girl, living in a lonely world..."
Personality
There's a much bigger world out there, and Audrey is determined to go there.
Every small gesture, every little minute change in her expressions display the innocence of this teenager. The very epitome of youthful exuberance, her energetic and curious nature has developed a mischievous, reckless side that has probably caused some sighs and head-shaking from the adults in her life. She has a naive, ignorant side born out of the lack of real world experience. Growing up in the tame, quiet environment of Ashenport, Audrey isn't really aware of the struggles and dramas that life can hurl without mercy.
Audrey is charming and sweet, her little crooked smile is capable of capturing the heart of anyone and everyone. She's very kind and empathetic, with a caring side that borders on nosy on occasion. When she's curious about something, Audrey explores it incessantly. She's been known to ask many questions--at times, too many. As a result, Audrey knows a lot about people, simply because they're the most interesting things around Ashenport. Gossip is her cup of tea, and she has a very keen ear for rumors. Her insatiable side curiosity is balanced by her dismissive attitude towards the mundane details of small town life. That stereotypical teenager 'whatever' attitude is apparent in Audrey, adn she can often be found on her phone, more interested in twitter rather than the boring events unfolding around her.
She can also be quite manipulative, discovering at a young age that her enchanting puppy dog eyes and her sweet, innocent smile can charm the pants off of many people and give her exactly what she wants. If you've got it, flaunt it, is a philosophy that she lives by. Being at that age where she begins to realize beauty and fashion, Audrey always gives the utmost attention to her outfits and her makeup. Don't get me wrong, she's not the type of person who's face is caked by makeup, she applies minimal amounts, but she spends a lot of time making sure that she looks absolutely delightful.

Biography
"Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among stars."
People outgrow things, and it's obvious that Audrey is in the middle of outgrowing Ashenport. As a child, she was a concentration of energy, her rambunctious laughter echoing through the otherwise quiet town. When she was young, she was satisfied with everything, the small town being more than big enough for her to explore to her heart's content. Due to her adventurous streak, Audrey familiarized herself with every nook and cranny of Ashenport, exploring every possible crevice and hiding place in the town. Although she was mischievous, she wasn't a trouble maker by any means. Being an intelligent young girl, she understood everything that was taught in school, and she was a voracious student. New information intrigued her, and she enjoyed school immensely. She's well-liked by most of her peers, due to the fact that nobody can hate her bubbly, friendly demeanor.
As she grew older, however, she began to realize what a small world she lived in. It's been years since she's seen a new face, everyone and everything around her is all the same. Same faces, same houses, same stores... Ashenport was far too small for an ambitious yonng lady, and Audrey is certain that she was destined for greatness. She dreams of moving to New York, Chicago, or Los Angeles. Or perhaps international locations, like Paris or Tokyo. She knows that she can make it big, whether she becomes a model, actress, fashion designer... Whatever it may be, there's no room for it here.
She can't wait to graduate high school and leave. She loves Ashenport, but the opportunities that she craves aren't here.
Nightmare
If there's anything that the feisty young lady is afraid of, it's bugs. Any kind of creepy-crawlies gives her the heebie jeebies, and she's downright terrified of them. Her nightmare manifests itself into that very fear, with waves and waves and waves of every kind of insect imaginable--including centipedes, bees, ants, spiders--in almost any imaginable size. There may be a ginormous tarantula advancing upon her, with an army of tiny ants scuttling towards her.
"Can't hold me back anymore..."
"Behold, the many faces of me!"
Vlad Simkov
"That sly smirk of his? I don't buy it."
There's just something about this slippery man that causes Audrey to be wary about him. She doesn't have any idea about his colorful past, but she's heard rumors. And the fact that he used to be so close to Rory Asuda, and the way that they hate each other now... It doesn't sit well with Audrey, and she goes out of her way to avoid him.
Mellory Grennich
"Mellory doesn't really talk much, does she? She's feisty though, I like that."
Audrey finds Mellory to be entertaining, her harsh words don't bother her at all. In fact, it's a lot better than the boring small talk that she engages in with the people around her on a daily basis. Audrey sometimes goes into the general store to poke fun at the older girl--in a friendly way of course. Audrey doesn't mean any harm. She's gotten kicked out of the store numerous times, but hey, she never stays away for long. It's one of her goals to befriend the general store owner, even if they have a frienemy type relationship where they're always arguing.
Rory Asuda
"Maybe he'll help me fill up my gas tank, now that I've got my permit! I hope he does, I don't think I know how..."
Okay, so Audrey might have a tiiiiiiny crush on Rory. Maybe it's not a crush, maybe it's just a fascination with the inner workings of his mind, but there's something about Rory that she's drawn to. Most likely it's the need within her to fix everyone's problems for them, and Rory's aloof, solitary attitude makes it more than obvious that he has problems that needs to be dealt with. She's having a hard time reaching out to him though, since he always seems to look down upon her when she tries. Audrey is stubborn, yes, but she's still a young girl that can feel very hurt when he does so.
Morrison Crowley
"Do I look like him? I don't think I look like him. Do I? This is the important question that needs answering."
As a teenager, Audrey is at that point in her life when people start to rebel against their parents. She however, doesn't seem to have that rebellious streak quite yet--don't relax yet Dad, there's no guarantee that it won't ever come. Audrey adores her father, but of course, there are parts that she doesn't particularly love about him. One would be the way he distances himself from everyone. Even though Audrey is one of the people that he interacts with the most, there's some sorrowful veil separating him even from her--or so she feels anyway. He just seems like he's looking at her, but he's not quite seeing her. Maybe she's over thinking things, maybe Audrey just wants more attention.
Montana "Mo" Crowley
"I don't get why everyone talks shit about her all the time, she's one of the awesomest people I've ever met!"
Audrey couldn't ask for a better aunt. She's definitely aware about the reputation her aunt has, but she's never mentioned it in front of her. It seems that everyone in this town has a past that they want to hide, and Audrey respects her family members too much to pry. That doesn't stop her from getting up into someone's face to defend Montana though. There aren't many people to just hang out with in Ashenport, and even if there were, there's no doubt that Montana would still be her number one pick. She's worried about how much money is spent on her though, she knows that her aunt isn't exactly the richest person.
Myles Reeve
"Being a mayor sounds so boring."
As a mayor, he seems pretty cool. He was cooperative when she wanted to interview him for a school project, and he had a great sense of humor. But even in a small town, there are people that you're not close to, and that person is the mayor. He kind of scares her though, something about his intensity.
"Was it fate?"
