Background / History

Audrey is the daughter of Count Hall and Countess Caitlin Hall. Her family is wealthy and politically influential; Count Hall is a banker and Upper House member. Her brothers include Hilbert, the pressured eldest son and heir, and Alfred, who serves with the Kingdom Army in the South Continent. 2 70 95

At fourteen, Audrey joined Grellint's circle of nobles seeking knowledge of Beyonders. Although initially fidgety and visibly young beneath her polished manners, she was already determined to enter the Extraordinary world. 40

Audrey grew close to Altair Sheffield after meeting her at a royal ball. She repeatedly sought Altair's company during noble events, relied on her to avoid unwanted dances with princes, and later treated her as an elder-sister figure. 42 43 53

The Hall Family follows the Goddess of the Night, and Audrey formally chose that faith upon turning fourteen. She continued corresponding with Altair even when the two could not meet in person. 68

On February 5, 1347, Audrey visited Altair with her new golden retriever, Susie, to view genuine Extraordinary materials in the Sheffield vault. After learning the danger of incorrect potion recipes and comparing available pathways, she chose to pursue the Spectator pathway. 95 96

Appearance

Audrey is a blonde, blue-eyed young noblewoman whose beauty and innate temperament earned her Bexland's “Most Dazzling Gem” reputation. At her introduction, she wore an elegant light-blue satin ball gown; later descriptions note that she had grown out of her childish features into a more refined young lady. 40 70

• Golden hair, worn high at formal balls to emphasize her long neck. 40
• Blue eyes. 40
• Known for graceful, carefully trained noble etiquette. 42 114
• Wore a white, corseted dress with a layered crinoline skirt during her visit to Altair's villa. 95

Personality

Audrey is curious, intelligent, and eager to understand subjects beyond the sheltered world of noble society. Her fascination with mysticism drives her to collect unusual items, seek out Extraordinary knowledge, and insist on attending secret gatherings despite Altair's reservations. 70 95 113 114

Her upbringing gives her strong manners, though excitement can make her briefly forget them. At the first Extraordinary Gathering she rushed Grellint inside, then immediately apologized for the breach in etiquette. 114

She is compassionate and reflective. During a discussion of the Corn Law, Audrey focused on the effect that lower grain prices could have on commoners; she also seriously considered Altair's concerns about Hilbert's mental state and relayed them to her father despite the potential consequences. 71 72

Audrey is discreetly loyal to those she cares for. Although initially shaken by Altair's disclosure of her preference for women, Audrey ultimately promised to protect Altair's confidence and support her. 115 116

Extraordinary Pursuit

Spectator Pathway

Audrey selected the Spectator pathway after Altair explained that its advancement could lead to exceptional observation, mind-reading, and Mental Intervention. 96

• She rejected the Alchemist pathway despite its potential for potion-making, healing, Beast Taming, charm, and a long lifespan. 96
• She understands that correct potion recipes are essential and that improperly mixed materials can cause loss of control, death, or monstrous transformation. 95
• She continued watching for Spectator potion recipes after receiving Altair's warnings about unsuitable pathways. 115
• No potion consumption, Sequence, or completed advancement is documented.

Extraordinary Gatherings

Audrey attended Altair's East District gathering with Grellint, concealing her identity beneath a hood. Her eagerness was tempered by anxiety, but she retained her noble composure. 113 114

• Learned the rules governing the gathering, including identity protection, notarized exchanges, and restrictions on personal-item sharing. 114
• Observed trades in Extraordinary materials, charms, weapons, and potions. 115 116
• Helped Altair and Grellint assess the suspicious “Seer,” later revealed to be an Instigator attempting to steer nobles toward the Hunter and Assassin pathways. 117 118

Collection & Pets

• Mystical collection — Audrey keeps antiques, religious charms, and objects with faint Spirituality in her study. Her collection includes an armlet from the Trunsoest Dynasty, a warming brooch, and a sleep-inducing item; Altair assessed most pieces as ordinary antiques or low-level charms rather than true Extraordinary items. 70
• Special Headband — A Fourth Epoch headband said to bring its wearer good luck, gifted by Count Hall. 72
• Susie — Audrey's golden retriever puppy, given to her by her father as a New Year's gift. 95
• Black Panther — Audrey was fond of Altair's black-panther cub and wanted one of her own, but she does not obtain it in the documented events. 53

Relationships

• Countess Caitlin Hall — Mother. Caitlin oversees Audrey's noble education and is involved in arranging her social and marital prospects. 53 54
• Hilbert Hall — Eldest brother. Audrey recognizes his gloomy, overburdened temperament and hopes to help him; she unsuccessfully tries to persuade Altair to consider him as a husband. 70 72
