The Brocade Baby Character Profile: Audrey Larue

Audrey Larue is one of the main protagonists (or at least is one of the tritagonists) of the story while also serving as a friend/love interest to Timotheos. Like Timotheos, she lives in the town of Amable and was born there like many of the other characters. She and Timotheos have been best friends since childhood and have continued to remain friends to this day. She is also 15 years old and even attends the same school as Timotheos, which comes in handy when Timotheos ends up missing classes due to his grief over his father's untimely death and prompts Audrey to help him catch up on his missing classes. 

Audrey has had a crush on Timotheos for years but was too afraid to tell him due to her fears of him only seeing him as a friend and potentially ruining their friendship in the process. It isn't until the events of "The Brocade Baby" does Audrey eventually gain the courage to confess to him. Like Timotheos, she too holds a great fondness for little Ambroise and is more than willing to help babysit him when Timotheos and the others aren't available. She works at the HausWart store on Tuesdays as her part-time job though she has more free time compared to Timotheos who works at Gringore at least 2 times a week.

I imagine her as having blonde hair that is described as almost golden as it is long, flowing and straight while usually being tied up in a red ribbon. She has bright blue eyes, fair skin and a slim build. She would definitely take after her mother in both appearance and personality, with elements of her father as well. 

Audrey is usually very spunky and courageous while also being polite and courteous towards others. However, when it comes to her feelings for Timotheos, which are very obvious to everyone, she becomes very shy and soft-spoken. Given that she used to have a crush on the fictional character Johan from the "Johan and Peewit" series, it is due to the fact that she was starting to have feelings for Timotheos and wants to be more than just friends with him. Ironically, when they were younger, whenever the townsfolk would tease them for being a "couple" the 2 kids would exclaim that it wasn't true.
