Background & History
Audrey is Earl Hall's daughter, raised amid Backlund's nobility. She first meets Hobart when he accompanies Lawyer Barton to the Hall residence; although initially wary of the inexperienced law student, she seeks his help for Hugh Dilcha's criminal case and entrusts him with a 600-pound budget. 12 13
Initially drawn to the Extraordinary world by curiosity, Audrey becomes unsettled after recognizing that Beyonder abilities also make their wielders targets. After confiding in Susie, she resolves to accept the consequences of her choice rather than regret it. 26 27
As Justice, Audrey becomes an active participant in the Tarot Club's information exchanges. She spends heavily on mystical knowledge, investigates the Emperor's identity, and eventually deduces that Hobart and Emperor are the same person through his habits, demeanor, knowledge, and mannerisms. She keeps this discovery secret because exposing him would also expose her as Justice. 55 56 269 283
Appearance
Audrey is repeatedly described as exceptionally beautiful, with lustrous golden hair, gem-like eyes variously described as blue or emerald, and a pure, elegant temperament. Her appearance is renowned within Backlund's aristocratic circles. 12 538
- Her beauty is striking enough to leave Hobart briefly speechless at their first meeting. 12
- She carries herself with polished noble reserve, though she becomes markedly more candid around Hobart. 546
- Her pale-golden pupils become more pronounced after her advancement to Hypnotist. 615
- Even when disguised in a plain dress for the Night Market, her bearing and figure make it difficult for her to appear ordinary. 546
Personality
Audrey is compassionate, idealistic, and strongly concerned with justice. She initially judges violent actions through a clear moral lens and seeks confirmation that targets are genuinely harmful before accepting lethal measures. 346 Her experiences with poverty, mental contamination, war, and colonial oppression gradually make her more aware that kindness alone cannot resolve systemic suffering. 501 619 623
Her noble education, Spectator abilities, and natural intelligence make her an attentive observer and capable political operator. At a ball, she and Viscount Glelint influence noble opinion around the Work Injury Compensation Case while avoiding direct confrontation; Earl Hall praises her ability to handle the situation. 166
Audrey remains curious about lives beyond aristocratic society. She seeks an appearance-changing Mystical Item partly to experience ordinary life, then visits Backlund's Night Market with Hobart and gains a new perspective on Annie, her personal maid. 546
