She Had Packed Before Her Parents Came To Her Room. They Disliked When She Anticipated Them, But Shed

She had packed before her parents came to her room. They disliked when she “anticipated” them, but she’d seenfeltheard it coming and Auberdine was used to such feelings. She gave herself to them freely, lived her life by them. There was a tremulous feeling in her belly that told her it wouldn’t be that way for long.

“The servants are always running their mouths around you,” her mother tutted as she ensured everything in Auberdine’s case was packed properly. “It’s like they don’t even know you’re there.”

The servants didn’t speak to her, nor much around her. They didn’t like her ability any more than her mother did. But it was easier for Lady LeBlanc to blame them than to accept. Auberdine didn’t bother to correct her anymore. About anything.

“There’s birdsong there,” she said suddenly, the impression strongest in her mind. “And lovely flowers in pink and purple and gold.”

“Yes, dear,” Emerald LeBlanc dismissed her daughter’s rambling speech and shut the travel case. “I’m sure it will be quite lovely there. The clinic should have you straightened out in no time.”

“But I’m not crooked,” Auberdine frowned.

Her mother sighed and shook her head, taking her arm and leading her down to the carriage. “You will do as the healers say. One of them is a charr, but he seems civil enough.” She stopped at the threshold and squared her daughter’s shoulders, willing Auberdine to be serious just this once. “But you must focus on getting better. On becoming the gracious young woman I know you can be.”

Auberdine cocked her head. “Why does it all taste like smoke, I wonder?” she said distantly.

Lady LeBlanc’s lips pressed to a thin line. “Why can we never have a normal conversation? Why can I not say goodbye to you in peace without these...outbursts!” She stepped away, gesturing a dismissal at her daughter. “I will see you in a few weeks,” she called, moving into the deep shade of the house.

Pale eyes watched her go and Auberdine frowned. Didn’t her mother know she tried? She did her best, but sometimes moving in the world was beyond her. With a sigh, she climbed inside the coach. She’d worn boots. There would be mud and worse ere the end. Best to be prepared.

Tag Meme; Auberdine LeBlanc

Just doing the others on this blog :P.

Full Name:

Auberdine Narcolissa Regina Twerves LeBlanc

Pronouns: She/Her

Ethnicity/Species: Krytan | Human

Birthplace and Birthdate:

Day 22 of the Zephyr (21 years ago) | Rurikton Quarter, Divinity’s Reach

Guilty Pleasures:   Talking to things no one else sees, escaping from her parents’ house, walking on her tip toes, putting her feet in fountains

Phobias: Losing access to her visions.

What They Would Be Famous For: At most, being that odd girl wandering around Divinity’s Reach without an escort, the one whose head seems in the clouds and doesn’t quite comprehend the world we live in. 

What Have They / Would They Gotten Arrested For: Never convicted, but guilty of: trespassing (charges dropped because she was just walking on the grass), theft (unintentional; she got distracted and wandered off with a sweet bun from a vendor once).

OC You Ship Them With: Nobody. Yet.

OC Most Likely To Murder Them: Dante Murray, depending on what happens at the Calm Hearts Clinic

Favorite Book Genre: Historical fiction

Least Favorite Book Cliche: Curing the quirky sidekick of their quirks.

Talents and/or Powers: Auberdine is a talented natural mesmer. Most of her training was performed when she was young. Once her talent for clairvoyance bloomed, her mother forbade further training. Since then, Auberdine has focused exclusively on cultivating that power on her own. Her parents never believe her predictions -- possibly as part of a curse, she’s not sure -- but she knows they are unbelievably accurate. 

Because she has to sneak out of the house in order to be allowed to leave at all, Auberdine is excellent at denial magic and mundane methods of hiding and moving silently. 

Why Someone Might Love Them: Auberdine is smart and kind. She tells people what she sees for them so as to warn them of dangers and steer them back toward the path that will improve their lives. She’s generous, as she’s never known poverty and doesn’t understand why anyone would withhold something from another when they could share. She forgives easily, especially when it comes to those who don’t believe her about her gift. She is used to that sort of disbelief and accepts it as a matter of course now.

Why Someone Might Hate Them: While intelligent, she is not quick witted. When she thinks, it is a slow process. Whether because she has mental problems because of the clairvoyance or because she is sifting through the threads of a changing world in her mind, the end result is that she considers things for much longer than most deem necessary. She has no understanding of personal space or boundaries, coming right up to people to deliver her messages. Neatness isn’t her highest priority and she’s apt to leave a mess, especially if someone else will come clean up after her.

How They Change: Auberdine’s been pretty static, but I’ve got her going in a different direction with a new plotline. I’m hoping she branches out now that she’s no longer a lovely girl in a gilded cage. I’m not entirely sure where the story is going, but it’s bound to be interesting.

Why You Love Them: I really love Auberdine’s aesthetic. Pale skin and eyes with bright red hair, paired with white and magenta just looks really cool. She’s a little bit childlike, but also wise and knowledgeable. I’m really interested in what she’s going to become and how she’s going to get there.

Her name is a combination of the World of Warcraft city, Auberdine, and the League of Legends player, LeBlanc. Because I’m not creative :P.
