Unreliable Narrator: Auri is the first person to admit that she's not quite right in the head, but that doesn't stop her from being too afraid of her own butter to eat it. |

comment |
Mysterious Waif: The novel doesn't clear a whole lot up about Auri's past. It delves into her present... but doesn't really clear things up there, either. Everything is presented from Auri's perspective, and she gives us as much explanation as she feels like giving to herself. |

comment |
Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Auri does not like moonless nights. Justified by The Wise Man's Fear: on those nights, mortals are in danger of falling into the Land of Faerie, which usually leaves them as good as dead. |

| The Slow Regard of Silent Things / int_cb70651c |
comment |
Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: It's established in The Kingkiller Chronicle that people who practice Naming tend to go mad (to a greater or lesser degree) from getting a more vividly detailed view of reality than a mortal mind can handle. Whether Auri's behavioural quirks are a sign of preternatural insight into the true nature of the world or just the delusions of an insane Broken Bird is left as an exercise to the reader. As is whether she warps reality to finish making Kvothe's gift at the end. |

Broken Bird: Something very bad happened in Auri's past, and it seems to be tied to a particular person, but that's not even her biggest problem. |

| The Slow Regard of Silent Things / int_d148b019 |
comment |
Mundane Made Awesome: Auri attributes identity, intent, and significance to almost everything she encounters, so this bleeds into the smallest elements of her day-to-day life. The closest thing the novella has to an action sequence is a lengthy and thoughtful description of her making soap. |

Cloud Cuckoolander: Auri. She treats everything as sapient, and is preoccupied with putting everything in its correct place. Her goal appears to be making the entire Underthing into a place where everything fits perfectly. |

Setting as a Character |

comment |
Setting as a Character: Part of Auri's unique point of view is treating everything in the Underthing is a character, from the rooms to an old belt buckle. These are really the only characters in the novella apart from Auri herself. |
