AUBREY is one of the three main deuteragonists in OMORI that join OMORI's party. When AUBREY is in the lead, she can smash obstacles with a bat.

PROFILE

APPEARANCE

In HEADSPACE, AUBREY wears a light-green dress and has a pink bow in her hair. She does not wear socks or shoes and her hair and eyes are purple like KEL and HERO.

In the real world, AUBREY looks significantly different and appears much older than her dream counterpart. She has her hair dyed pink, wears a crop top with a varsity jacket over it, a jean skirt, and a green headband. She also carries a baseball bat with nails hammered into it.

PERSONALITY

In HEADSPACE, AUBREY is very cheerful and is always happy to see OMORI, with some dialogue implying she has a crush on him. She tends to become sad and worried quite easily, and is the most anxious of the five characters when BASIL goes missing. She has a tense relationship with Kel, with them arguing regularly, usually resulting in mediation from HERO or MARI.

In the REAL WORLD, she has changed significantly since MARI's death. She is cold and hostile to her old friends at the beginning of the game, due to her believing they abandoned her when she needed them most. She is short-tempered and violent, having frequent outbursts. She is seen bullying BASIL with THE HOOLIGANS, going as far as to steal Basil's Photo Album. However, this is due to the fact that she saw Basil scribbling the photos out. She also goes to church every week in an attempt to find peace after Mari's death. As the game progresses, she eventually reveals why she stole Basil's Photo Album and manages to reconcile with Sunny, Kel, and Hero, as well as Basil himself.

BACKGROUND

AUBREY was born to her unnamed mother and father the same year as SUNNY, KEL, and BASIL. She lived with her parents at their house, though it is suggested that they may have lived in squalor. At some point, she became friends with MARI, SUNNY, HERO, KEL, and BASIL. As children, they often played together.

MARI's death, HERO's departure for college, as well as her dad leaving her family caused her to become angry and isolated. She became upset that her friends had all stopped talking to each other, believing them to have abandoned her. At one point, she is so desperate to reconnect with them that she begs BASIL to let her study at his house after school. He reluctantly agrees, but acts cold and refuses to speak with her. While he is in the bathroom, she looks at his photo album only to find that he has scribbled them out with black marker. Furious, she takes the album and cleans the photos, becoming alienated from Basil and tormenting him.

She then became the queen bee of the local delinquents THE HOOLIGANS and spends a majority of her time with them at the beginning of the game.

STORY

HIKIKOMORI ROUTE

Aubrey can not be seen at all in the real world during the Hikikomori Route, due to Sunny never leaving his house. In Headspace, her character remains the same as in the Normal Route, with some additional dialogue added in the stages of Headspace only unlockable through completing the Dream World Reset.

NORMAL ROUTE

DAY 1

After buying a gift from HOBBEEZ, SUNNY and KEL notice BASIL begging KIM to tell AUBREY to give him back his PHOTO ALBUM at FARAWAY PARK. The latter refuses to help BASIL, leading to KEL confronting KIM, telling her to leave BASIL alone. This causes a commotion in which AUBREY does show up with her new group of friends: THE HOOLIGANS.

KEL tries to resonate with AUBREY but she insists on fighting both him and SUNNY. Afterwards, AUBREY ends up backing down and leaves the park with her new friends.

SUNNY and KEL then locate her at the CHURCH after fighting the other HOOLIGANS. KEL questions AUBREY for stealing BASIL's PHOTO ALBUM, which leads to a heated argument. She wants to keep her distance from them. Realizing that there's no point explaining her reasons due to KEL's argument, AUBREY tries to beat down both her former friends. The fight ends as the church attendants around them gossip about her history, which causes a tearful AUBREY to run off. After, she is later seen throwing out the photo album, and SUNNY and KEL dig through the trash to get it back, but some photos are missing.

DAY 2

She and the HOOLIGANS are seen bullying BASIL in the secret hangout behind the park. A fight ensues, and THE HOOLIGANS leave, leaving KEL, SUNNY, BASIL, and AUBREY alone. AUBREY has a brief meltdown and questions why they keep coming back into her life. Kel berates her for bullying Basil, and she retaliates by pushing Basil into the lake. After Hero saves Basil, she is regretful of her actions, but the party does not forgive her, not understanding why she is so angry with Basil. She is left alone by the lake.

DAY 3

AUBREY's best friend KIM, knocks at SUNNY's door and asks him to go check on her because she won't leave her house. All of the delinquents are outside her house and are worried about her. The party enters her house to discover trash scattered everywhere and her mother unresponsive and fixated in front of the TV. They go into her room, angering her, but Hero is able to calm her down. They have a heart-to-heart and she makes up with everyone, apologizing to them. They find the missing photos, which are all pictures MARI, and she says she took them because it was all she had left of Mari. They put them back in the PHOTO ALBUM and she joins the party.

The party reminisces at some spots in town, and then they go visit their old treehouse. She leaves her pink pinwheel in the stump of the tree where MARI was found dead and starts being open with everyone about her feelings.

Then they go to BASIL's house and, even though he won't open his door, she apologizes sincerely to him. They all sleep in the living room.
