Okay, so can we talk about Audrey now? I have been processing and I think I'm ready to do this without hyperventilating. Maybe? Have I mentioned how much I love Audrey, because I really love her. And her entire storyline gives me the hard core wiggins. Ack!
The thing is I honestly can't think of anything more terrifying than discovering that your entire life and memories are a lie belonging to someone else. Wait, yes I can. Discovering that not only are your entire life and memories a lie belonging to someone else...but that what identity you've managed to carve out that is uniquely yours could be taken away and replaced just like that.
*pauses to stave off hyperventilation*
Oh god, Audrey. Now, my logical brain is quite certain this will not happen again, or at least not permanently. The show wouldn't give her to us in this here and now if we weren't meant to keep her. And our Audrey is this one, who shares that core thingie (whatever it is) with who she's been before but filtered through this set of memories and experiences, even if she gets some of her old ones back (and I hope she does because it would be nifty in so many ways, also a handy means of exposition by way of flashback..which I dig).
My logical brain gets this. The rest of me is traumatized that this has happened to her before, and before, and before that and HOW FUCKED UP IS THAT? And even though I am fairly confident it won't happen again because she'll stop it this time it does not stop my irrational brain from freaking the fuck out. NOT MY AUDREY, DON'T YOU DARE TAKE HER AWAY FROM MEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
But you know why I love her bestest of ALL? Why she's my favorite? I mean, aside from all the hotness which is rather epic. Because even facing all that down. Her first and primary priority? Helping everyone else with the Troubles. How amazing is that? No, seriously. How freaking AMAZING. If I wasn't curled up in a corner shaking and screaming, I'd be on a single minded hunt to uncover what the hell happened to me and screw everyone else. I would sure as fuck not be focusing the majority of my energy into taking care of the town that likely did that to me in the first place, regardless of how cute Nathan's stupid face is.
But not our Audrey. She can help, often when no one else can...so...she does. Girl carries the weight of the world on her shoulders, and yet she's up every day trucking along, doing for others. And keeping her adorably snarktastic sense of humor and superhot competence at the same time. Oh my god, if I loved her any more than I already do my heart would EXPLODE, for serious. Not literally. Unless I lived in Haven in which case a literally exploding heart could be a risk. Except Audrey would find a way to stop it. Because that's what she does. <3 <3 <3 <3

We don't know much about who she was before, but we do know who she is now would not, will not play a pre-defined role if it will hurt her people. Our Audrey will spit in the face of destiny to protect her own.
