Though much is taken, much abides; and though We are not now that strength which in old days Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are, One equal temper of heroic hearts, Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

Autumn is going to be famous. She's a damn good stylist, and she knows it. Black girls need someone to look up to- someone who can fight her way through the primarily Caucasian world of makeup. You can find her on YouTube and Tumblr, though her tumblr is mostly links to her videos and outfit pictures. Need your makeup done? How long do you have for Autumn to change your life?
ME BEFORE YOU
Since her time in Ashdown, Autumn has gotten really attached to the people she's met. Eve, Jeremiah, Algie, Chris... but Zac holds a special place in her heart as the brother she always wanted. The brother who never broke her heart. She's developed an enormous soft spot for the guy, to the point she'd violate her nonviolent nature and break some bones for the kid.
So now she's playing the martyr. She's going to go down fighting if it means saving that ******** kid. Autumn really has no sense of self-preservation (in part tied to her diminished self worth at her relationship with her parents), and it's gotten her into a few messes. But learning this world means she's gonna keep Zac safe, and help Jeremiah save the world, regardless of what Lucas thinks.
Also man, she's Hermione. So that's kind of ******** cool, even if she's going down in the process.
BUT FIRST, LEMME TAKE A SELFIE
Autumn is the selfie queen. Somehow her lighting is always perfect, the angle is great, and the girl looks flawless in pictures. Even on rainy days, the pictures never seem to show frizz or pimples. It's no wonder people like her on instagram- it's almost uncanny how great her pictures are. Filters? What's a filter? That's just the lighting. ...What do you mean indoor lighting washes you out? (Can take perfect selfies)
ANYTHING ELSE?
5'4", 26 years old, don't touch her hair. Works weekends at the tea shop (approved via AIM by cibarium). But seriously. Do not touch her hair.

It's a small, dinky apartment, but Autumn has done the best she can. Slick black furniture arranged to give the tiny space as much room as she can manage. It may be a bit small for company... if she ever has any.
Bedroom
Not that she's having any guests into the bedroom, but Autumn is pretty damn proud of how she's spruced it up. Girl's gotta have a good backdrop for her vlogging, after all.
Kitchen
Damn right Autumn can cook up dinner and get her laundry done at the same time. It's cute, and it's functional. What more could you ask for? (Besides, you know. A handsome guy to do the cooking and cleaning for you.)
Bathroom
It's a bathroom. It's tiny. Autumn doesn't want to talk about it.
Inventory
Rosalinde the Othercat
The journal. But what does it mean....?

.:: Equinox: Tea sales, tea making. Generally singing the praises of tea. .:: Salon: Monday-Thursday, Autumn is your hairstyle guru.
FIFTEEN new, completed art pieces depicting your character doin' stuff. Art should be full-color with background if you intend to use it for growth. Quality is no object.
1. Pokemon Snap: Autumn wants to take selfies with every magical, mystical being in Other Ashdown she can find.
2. CAT RESCUE:
congratulations, dreamer!
you now have the honor of completing the ashdown pet rescue challenge. to complete this most excellent quest and unlock the powers that lie within, you must complete these requirements.500 words/one image of Autumn reflecting on her relatively sad and pet-less existence500 words/one image where Autumn spots a strange cat disappearing into other ashdown and gives chase!500 words where Autumn manages to catch the cat and discovers its hidey-hole with its three kittens500 words on Autumn befriending the cat500 words on Autumn deciding to take the cat home.
in exchange, Autumn will receive this companion creature:
rosalinde the othercat. you followed this cat into other ashdown, and now it's... adopted you? it seems to be a rather disappointingly normal cat--it has the regular number of eyes, ears, and toes, for instance--what's weird about it is the flowers that sprout on the crown of its head when it purrs! it's also capable of seeding flowers in places that it is particularly fond of, no matter how odd or inhospitable to flowers that place is. this cat cannot talk, but it can find passage into other ashdown with ease.
have fun, and let us know when you've completed your requirements!

.:: DETECT CREATURE Once per day, you can cast a spell that will detect other things in real ashdown. It's like a spidey-sense that only activates sometimes!
.:: SING, SWEET NIGHTINGALE Autumn is capable of charming animals by singing. Initial contact does little more than endear animals in a very faint way, such as noticing her or letting her get closer than normal. Prolonged exposure (longer songs, more regular exposure) can develop friendship or fondness with the animal, to the point of Autumn being sought out by them regularly.
.:: WE NEED TO TALK Autumn can talk to animals- but specifically, only mammals. Insects are not and will never be a possibility.
.:: IRL TWITTER Autumn can talk to birds.
.:: BUCK THIS Similar to a deer, when Autumn kicks, the strength of the kick is stronger than a typical human's. (Note: This is not Superman level strength. Compare more to a horse's buck)
