Aubrey

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.

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, along with THE HOOLIGANS, going as far as to steal BASIL's PHOTO ALBUM. However, this is due to the fact that she believes BASIL scribbled out the photos. 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 on May 23rd^[1] 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 they had been scribbled 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

Normal Route

Day 1

SUNNY and KEL see BASIL begging KIM to tell AUBREY to give him back his PHOTO ALBUM at FARAWAY PARK. KIM refuses to help BASIL, leading to KEL confronting KIM, telling her to leave BASIL alone. This causes a commotion in which AUBREY shows up with her new group of friends: THE HOOLIGANS.

KEL tries to reason with AUBREY but she insists on fighting both him and SUNNY. Regardless of whether or not SUNNY uses the knife, AUBREY will notice and become concerned, leaving the park with THE HOOLIGANS.

SUNNY and KEL later locate her at the CHURCH. KEL pushes her to return the PHOTO ALBUM, and states that MARI would be sad to see that they have all stopped being friends. She retaliates, stating that MARI is dead and that after her death they abandoned her. She tells them that the reason she goes to church every week is that she is still trying to find peace after Mari's death. She becomes angry when KEL mentions that BASIL told them she stole the Photo Album, stating that she is keeping it safe. KEL refuses to believe this, but still apologizes for not being there after Mari's death. Aubrey refuses his apology, and a fight ensues. During the fight, many of the church patrons gossip about Aubrey, implying that she is out of control due to her father leaving her family.

After the fight, Aubrey leaves and is seen throwing away the Photo Album. Kel and Sunny retrieve it but find that some of the 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 is overwhelmed with emotion and angrily 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 of 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, with her taking the couch.

Day 4

In the GOOD ENDING, she is seen standing beside BASIL's hospital bed alongside everyone.

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 HEADSPACE Reset.
