Background

Audrey is the daughter of Earl Hall and Countess Hall, raised amid the wealth, etiquette, and political influence of Queens’ Borough. She successfully supported the introduction of open civil-service examinations for administrative posts, showing an early interest in using her social position for political change. 56

She initially entered the Beyonder world out of curiosity. Her time at St. Elizabeth Mental Hospital—where she encountered Luther and witnessed a supernatural patient’s transformation—confronted her with dangers far beyond her ability to manage. 135 138

Appearance

Audrey is a striking young aristocrat with blonde hair, emerald-green eyes, and a refined, youthful bearing. She is widely regarded as exceptionally beautiful and attracts attention at noble functions. 206 211

• Usually dressed in elaborate, well-tailored noble attire for social events. 206 211
• Uses hoods, surgical clothing, and disguises when attending clandestine Beyonder gatherings. 208
• Her poise, formal etiquette, and graceful manner readily identify her as highborn. 276

Personality

Audrey is curious, perceptive, and socially adept. As an Audience-pathway Beyonder, she habitually observes people’s emotions and motives, often using gentle questions to draw out information others hesitate to share. She recognized Fors’s uncertainty about the Backlund serial murders and encouraged her to explain her two-killer theory rather than dismissing it. 134

Her curiosity initially makes her reckless. She secretly reads Luther’s mind in a mental hospital and is nearly overwhelmed by what she finds, later resolving not to use her abilities carelessly against unknown Beyonders. 135

Over time, Audrey’s interest in mysticism develops into a sense of responsibility. Cons Lee’s death and the Great Smog make her determined to become stronger so she can protect her family and innocent people rather than merely pursue supernatural knowledge for excitement. 371 385

She also becomes increasingly conscious of class inequality. After seeing conditions inside the East Borough textile mill, she supports practical charity through employment and later chooses to devote profits from her investments to civilians in the East Borough. 354 705

Abilities & Skills

Mind Reading

As a Sequence 8 Telepathist, Audrey can perceive emotional states, auras, and aspects of a person’s Mental World.

• Detects the chaotic aura and unnaturally calm emotions surrounding Luther at St. Elizabeth Mental Hospital. 135
• Uses emotional inconsistencies to determine that “Cons” is an impostor rather than the real Cons Lee. 355
• Can identify hesitation, jealousy, fear, and concealed motives through subtle behavioral changes. 134 662
• Direct intrusion is dangerous: probing Luther’s mind alerts him and exposes Audrey to his murderous hunger. 135

Psychological Suggestion

After becoming a Psychiatrist, Audrey can influence behavior through targeted suggestions.

• Sends Annie away before her MI9 interview by planting a Psychological Suggestion. 457
• Uses psychological observation as part of her daily interactions, including during Tarot Club gatherings. 624
• Her influence is not universally effective; MI9 officer Mary resists her subtle manipulation while Chuck is more susceptible. 457

Psychological Observation

Audrey studies abnormal psychology both as an intellectual pursuit and as part of her Acting.

• Observing psychiatric patients helps her understand ordinary human instincts and contributes to digesting her Telepathist Potion. 137
• Compares conventional hypnosis with Beyonder mental abilities while observing Professor Anthony’s consultations. 137
• Maintains contact with Isengard and the Psychology Alchemists despite surpassing Isengard’s Sequence, using the lessons to preserve access to the organization. 605 662

Social and Political Acumen

Audrey uses noble etiquette, family influence, and carefully directed conversation to gather intelligence without exposing her Beyonder identity.

• Hosts tea parties to obtain MI9 information about the Capim Villa massacre. 188 191
• Negotiates with Countess Hall to hire external Beyonder bodyguards rather than submit to household supervision. 193
• Recognizes suspicious shifts in Backlund’s noble circles before she can identify their cause. 628
• Deduces that Church senior deacon Ahab Ishmael is likely Mr. Temperance from the Tarot Club. 674

Equipment

• Psychiatrist pendant — A golden, eye-shaped Beyonder item made from a Psychiatrist Beyonder Characteristic supplied by Temperance and crafted through Hanged Man’s arrangement. Its soothing effect partially frees Audrey from Noss the Devil’s terror-inducing emotional control. 355
• Notarized bodyguard contract — Formalized the protective arrangement between Audrey and her Beyonder guards while preventing either side from harming the other. 208

Relationships

• Mr. Fool / Zhou Mingrui — Audrey is a devoted Tarot Club member who seeks his approval before joining the Psychology Alchemists and turns to him during crises. 210 355
• Luther / Temperance / Ahab Ishmael — Audrey first encounters Luther as a terrifying mental-hospital patient, later employs him as a bodyguard and gradually identifies his Tarot Club and Church identities. 135 208 674 690
• Fors Wall — Friend, fellow Tarot Club member, investigator, and bodyguard. Audrey rewards Fors for dangerous work and later assists her in raising money through a property-deed purchase. 134 354 674
• Xio Derecha — Friend and bodyguard employed alongside Fors. Audrey provides commissions that support Xio’s advancement and relies on her protection during dangerous outings. 134 354
• Susie — Audrey’s intelligent golden retriever and trusted confidante. Susie guards Audrey during private prayers and notices emotional changes in people around them. 457 662
• Earl Hall — Her father. Audrey carefully uses her understanding of his emotions and political position while concealing her supernatural activities. 188 457
• Countess Hall — Her protective mother. The Countess imposes security measures after Audrey’s dangerous outings but later praises Audrey’s role in limiting the Great Smog’s devastation. 193 385
• Cons Lee — MI9 acquaintance and friend. Audrey recognizes his possession by Noss, tries to warn others of the assassination plot, and mourns his death afterward. 355 371
• Isengard — Audrey’s nominal psychology tutor and contact within the Psychology Alchemists. Audrey continues attending her lessons to retain access to the organization. 605 662

Story Role / Major Arcs

Backlund Investigations

Audrey funds Xio and Fors after their pirate-admiral commission, listens to Fors’s theory about the serial murders, and quietly introduces Xio to Mr. Fool’s honorific name through a hidden note in Noble Heraldry. 134

Her investigation of St. Elizabeth Mental Hospital brings her into contact with Luther. After recklessly using Mind Reading on him, she survives only because he suppresses his urge to Graze her soul. 135

She later witnesses the supernatural incident involving Lanevus and hides what she knows from official investigators by claiming that she fainted from fear. The incident results in temporary confinement by her mother. 139 143

Bodyguards and the Psychology Alchemists

After her confinement ends, Audrey persuades her mother to permit independently hired Beyonder bodyguards. Fors and Xio accept the role, while Cecilia and Luther become part of the arrangement after passing the Hall family’s tests. 193 207 208

Audrey deliberately requests an Audience-pathway potion at a clandestine gathering, presenting herself as an inexperienced Beyonder to attract the Psychology Alchemists’ attention. When a Beyonder begins following her, she chooses infiltration over Luther’s proposed interrogation. 208 209

With Mr. Fool’s approval, she joins the Psychology Alchemists while remaining cautious about their hidden goals and influence over Loen’s nobility. 210 518

Capim Villa and Duke Negan

Audrey investigates the Capim Villa massacre through noble and MI9 contacts. She privately suspects Luther’s involvement but reports her deduction only to Mr. Fool because of her promise not to expose him. 191 194

During the plot against Duke Negan, Audrey identifies Noss the Devil’s possession of Cons Lee by noticing the absence of Cons’s feelings toward her. Though immobilized by supernatural terror, her Psychiatrist pendant restores enough control for her to send Fors and Xio to warn the Churches and pray to Mr. Fool. 355

Cons’s subsequent death leaves Audrey visibly subdued at the Tarot Club and marks a turning point in her understanding of the Beyonder world’s cost. 371

The Great Smog

Audrey helps relay warning information to the Churches and authorities before the Great Smog reaches its full scale. Although more than ten thousand East Borough residents die, her actions help prevent an even larger catastrophe. 385

Afterward, she resolves to advance beyond Telepathist, believing greater strength is necessary to protect others. 385 405

Later Development

Audrey advances to Sequence 7 Psychiatrist and continues using both the Tarot Club and the Psychology Alchemists to pursue materials for Sequence 6 Hypnotist. 662 706

At a Hall family ball, she confirms that the Evernight Church’s Ahab Ishmael is Luther by using the distinctive greeting tone she employs above the Gray Fog. Both preserve their public disguises rather than acknowledging the connection openly. 690
