Aubrey lore!1!1 (I kin Hero, Mari, Basil, Aubrey, Sunny and Kel for some reason. Is that bad?)
In HEADSPACE, AUBREY wears a light blue nightgown and a pink bow in her long dark hair. Like the other party members, she does not wear socks or shoes, and her hair and eyes are a dreamlike mix of purple and blue. She also carries around a STUFFED TOY known as MR. PLANTEGG.
In the real world, AUBREY naturally has dark brown hair and eyes, but she has dyed her hair pink and wears teal contacts. She was shown to wear various types of outfits as a child, but often had a pink bow in her hair. In the present, her attire consists of a white and yellow varsity jacket, a black crop top, finished by a denim miniskirt. She also accessorizes a bright teal hair bow that used to be MARI's. She is often seen wielding her NAIL BAT.
During her youth, AUBREY is very cheerful and always happy to play with her friends. Strong-willed and always acting true to her feelings, AUBREY serves as a constant source of morale for her friends.[3] This extends to often reminding the group of the right thing to do whenever they are distracted.[4][5] Despite this, she becomes sad and worried quite easy; she is the most anxious one of the friend group when BASILgoes missing.[6][7][8] Often she is clumsy, resulting in yelling from KEL, who she always fights with. Her childhood traits are shared with her HEADSPACE counterpart, albeit slightly different with her puppy love persona towards OMORI.
In the REAL WORLD, after finding out about MARI's death, she began coping through strong feelings of hatred against her old friend group, interpreting their reactions as them moving on too quickly.[9] She felt burdened by a sense of loneliness, given both the death of her best friend as well as the lack of support between her and her friends. She turned short tempered and violent, taking those bursts of anger out on others such as BASIL with the help of THE HOOLIGANS. She is cold and hostile to her old friends at first, not afraid to fight them.[10] Even so, she is still trying to find peace by praying at the local church,[11] and visits MARI's grave often.
She also seems to be bit of a tomboy aswell, more so in the present.Â
When rejoining SUNNY, KEL, and HERO's party, she begins to be more understanding of the past and people's feelings, becoming civil and open about her feelings as well.[12][13][14] She is shown expressing care for SUNNY's physical health and apologizes to BASIL.[15][16] It is shown through the text during the sleepover at BASIL'S HOUSEthat despite having trouble admitting that she cares, AUBREY's actions have shown her true disposition of looking out for her friends. Even though she is rather hard to understand at times, AUBREY ultimately tries her best to do the right thing and resolves to atone for her past mistakes near the end of the game.[17]

Aubrey meets her friends for the first time.
AUBREY was born to her unnamed mother and father the same year as SUNNY and BASIL. She lived with her parents at their house, though it is suggested that they may have lived in squalor. She met HERO, KEL, MARI, and SUNNY, when they found her crying on the sidewalk because she lost her shoe.[18] The group all became friends and, later on, she introduced BASIL to the group.[19]
The six friends made many memories together, such as playing cards in the treehouse together, visiting the beach, picnicking, playing in the rain, and attending BASIL's birthday party. AUBREY and BASIL sold cookies and lemonade in the summer to save up money and, for Christmas, she along with the rest of the group pooled their money to get SUNNY an expensive violin.
On the day of SUNNY and MARI's recital, AUBREY and her dad were getting ready for the two siblings' performance. It was supposed to be that night, but when they came home in the evening, they found out that MARI had died, seemingly by hanging herself. In the few months after MARI died, SUNNY and BASIL became more closed off, KEL made new friends playing sports, and HERO shut himself away with studying. She was angry at how life kept moving on and felt like everyone abandoned her and MARI.Â
At one point, AUBREY saw BASIL sitting alone during lunch and offered to go over to his house to study. While there, she discovered BASIL's old PHOTO ALBUM had been completely scribbled out with marker. Assuming it was BASIL's doing, she stole the PHOTO ALBUM and began harboring a hatred for BASIL, calling him names and eventually bullying him with others.
She dyed her hair pink as a memorial to a promise she and MARI had made[20] and made friends with KIM and her group of delinquents, THE HOOLIGANS, always carrying a nail bat. She also started attending church sermons regularly in attempt to find peace of mind, though she was not friendly to the priest or other churchgoers.
Aubrey confronts Sunny and Kel.
KEL and SUNNY can first encounter AUBREY and the rest of THE HOOLIGANS riding their scooters down the lower street in FARAWAY. Later, when they see BASIL in FARAWAY PARK pleading with KIM, KEL gets involved as he sticks up for BASIL. This causes a commotion that draws the attention of AUBREY and the other HOOLIGANS. AUBREY takes SUNNY and KEL's defense of BASIL as a threat and starts a fight, but the HOOLIGANS flee after noticing SUNNY is armed with a knife (potentially after SUNNY attacked her with it, depending on the actions the player took).
Upon learning that AUBREY stole BASIL's PHOTO ALBUM afterwards, SUNNY and KEL head off to interrogate the HOOLIGANS for AUBREY's whereabouts. SUNNY and KEL go about FARAWAY TOWN, questioning and fighting with each member of the HOOLIGANS before eventually being told that AUBREY is at the CHURCH. SUNNY and KEL enter during the sermon and sit in the pew behind her, trying to ask her to give back the PHOTO ALBUM, which leads to a heated argument. AUBREY repeatedly questions why they are coming back into her life, as she wants to keep her distance from them.
Realizing that there is no point explaining her reasons to KEL, AUBREYÂ fights them both once again. The fight ends as the church attendants around them gossip about her delinquent behavior and her broken family, which causes a tearful AUBREY to run off. She throws out the PHOTO ALBUM upon returning home, though she keeps all pictures containing MARI.
The next day, AUBREY and THE HOOLIGANS are seen eating pizza at GINO'S, with AUBREY ignoring SUNNY and KEL's presence. She later heads over to her old friends' HANGOUT SPOT and finds BASIL there as well for unknown reasons. The HOOLIGANS attempt to force BASIL to leave but this leads to the latter to cry out for help. SUNNY and KEL arrive at the spot, and KEL attempts to stop them just as before.
Aubrey attempts to beat down her former friends with her gang, THE HOOLIGANS, backing her up.
AUBREY engages in another fight with the two, this time with all the HOOLIGANS backing her up. Whether the fight is won or lost, things eventually settle down and the other HOOLIGANS leave. KEL points out to AUBREY that even though she spends more time with her new friends, she still comes over to the old hangout spot, meaning she must still care about her old friends. This causes AUBREY to back down in silence before breaking down and letting out a frustrated scream, questioning why her old friends keep coming back into her life. BASIL tries to talk to her but this only results in AUBREY accidentally shoving him right into the lake.
AUBREY immediately regrets her action and panics as KEL yells at her for harming BASIL. KEL tells SUNNY to dive in to save him, but SUNNY is not able to fully rescue BASIL. HERO, having just come back from college, manages to arrive at the HANGOUT SPOT in the nick of time, saving both SUNNY and BASIL. Once SUNNY regains consciousness, the boys decide to take BASIL back to his home for recovery. AUBREY demands to know where they are all going, to which KEL bluntly tells her she has already done enough harm. As the group leaves, AUBREY is left alone once again.
Sunny, Kel, Aubrey, and Hero reconcile and share a group hug together.
On the final day, AUBREY's best friend, KIM, knocks at SUNNY's door to ask them to go check on AUBREY, because she is upset and will not come out of her house. All the HOOLIGANS are outside AUBREY's house and are genuinely worried about her. The party enters her unlocked door to discover the dire circumstances of her house: trash scattered all over, the building in disrepair, and her mother completely unresponsive while fixated on the TV.
They enter her room and she yells at them for intruding, but HERO finally gets her to talk and have a heart-to-heart. AUBREY apologizes to everyone for being "such a jerk", and KEL apologizes in turn. The group also find the PHOTO ALBUM's missing photos of MARI on her corkboard, with AUBREY mentioning that she took them because "it's all I have left of her." With the album complete, AUBREY rejoins the party.
Aubrey sleeping on Basil's couch.
The reunited friends first attempt to visit BASIL'S HOUSE to check on him, only to find out from POLLY that BASIL is visiting his grandmother at the hospital. AUBREY and her friends decide to check on BASIL later, spending the rest of their day hanging out, while reminiscing the past at some spots in town before visiting their old treehouse.
Upon entering the treehouse, AUBREY finds her old stuffed plush MR. PLANTEGG in a deteriorated state while SUNNY collects the key for his abandoned toy box. She later leaves her pink pinwheel in the stump of the tree where MARI was hung and opens up to everyone about her feelings. She apologizes for blaming them and starts to come to terms with the past. She also reveals the reason as to why she was mad at BASIL (the scribbled photo album). The four friends then reconcile for real and share a big group hug together.
The group heads over to BASIL's house to comfort him only to find he has locked himself away in his room, unresponsive. Despite this, AUBREY apologizes sincerely to him through the door, letting him know that she and the others are there for him. They all eventually decide to stay over for the night to celebrate SUNNY's last day at FARAWAY TOWN, as well as be there for BASIL. Before falling asleep in the living room, HERO, KEL, and AUBREY tell SUNNY that life will soon get better even after he moves out, and they will all keep in touch. The group then falls asleep.
After remembering the truth, if SUNNY chooses to go back to sleep instead of confronting and saving BASIL, this will lead to another tragedy as BASIL succeeds in killing himself. This leaves the entire friend group and POLLY in complete despair upon discovering BASIL's corpse. AUBREY is shown on her knees with an empty expression and tears streaming down her face, blaming herself over tormenting BASIL for the past four years. When spoken to, AUBREY pleads BASIL for forgiveness. SUNNY leaves his distraught friends behind with no answers regarding the truth behind MARI's death.
If SUNNY instead chooses to confront BASIL, the friend group's peaceful sleepover is interrupted by the two boys fighting, with SUNNY trying to resist BASIL's disastrous attempt to save him. Both SUNNY and BASIL fall unconscious during the outcome of the fight and are rushed to the hospital in an ambulance, presumably called by AUBREY and her friends.
Sunny prepares to tell his friends the truth behind Mari's death.
After a climactic struggle against OMORI within his mind, SUNNY awakens in his hospital bed crying with a bandage over his right eye, finally coming to terms with MARI's death. He then limps out of his room and envisions his HEADSPACE friends and STRANGER for the final time as he heads toward BASIL's hospital room.
From there, AUBREY can be seen standing beside BASIL's hospital bed alongside KEL and HERO. The group then notices SUNNY standing at the doorway, ready to tell them what truly happened when MARI died. The friends' reactions are left to the player's imagination as the game cuts to the credits.
