#auden langdon: intro

[scryptids]

meg donnelly / she/they  ———  no way is that AUDEN LANGDON.. they’re a 24-year-old HUMAN notoriously known for being UNCOOPERATIVE  &  NOSY but there are some people who have seen them being EXTROVERTED  &  INDUSTRIOUS.  if you ask me, they remind me a lot of treks through the park to look for anything extra cool, dirt caked under her fingernails from being a little too hands-on, a collection of old animal bones decorating her shelves, and old combat boots, but that could just be because they’re considered the FREAK around town. just keep an eye on them  &  see if their true colors shine through..

full name: auden maeve langdon birthdate: july 25th age: 24 height: 5’3” occupation: caretaker at the cemetery ship status: closed bio:

auden langdon’s existence took everyone by surprise

her parents hadn’t been trying for a baby; if anything they were trying to wait a few years

they were both young and freshly out of college, ready to take on new career paths and plan a wedding for a few years down the road

but then those two little pink lines showed up on a pregnancy test, and they quickly had to readjust their future plans

they managed to buy a small house with only two bedrooms and a little backyard; it was the perfect starter home for a new family

the couple married in a small ceremony as well, figuring it was already part of their plans and that waiting was a moot point now that they had a baby on the way

when july rolled around and auden made her way into the world, everyone was ready to greet her with big smiles and full hearts

their life was comfortable and easy, an army of people behind them to help with whatever was needed

before she learned how to be mobile, auden was an angel of a child

she was an easy baby, never really causing a fuss and charming almost everyone that came into contact with her

but then she learned how to crawl, and it was like all hell broke loose

auden liked to get into everything she possibly could, always reaching for things that weren’t meant for her

her parents knew that she was just trying to quell her curiosities, but it never made them worry any less

auden was about three years old when her brother, oberon, made his way into the world, and somehow that granted her more freedom to explore

her parents still kept a close eye on her, but working full-time while trying to raise two small children meant they couldn’t always give her the attention they thought she needed

the backyard and park became her favorite exploring grounds, and auden always seemed to want to be outside so she could discover new things

auden was just five years old when she found her first bird skull, and thus began her weird little obsession

her parents watched as their daughter took on morbid interests, always digging around for creepy new things that she could display in her room

the kids in the neighborhood labeled her as the freak, giving her a ten-foot-radius whenever they saw her coming

but this never bothered auden and it never changed her attitude

she was still a very friendly kid, and on the off chance that a kid wanted to befriend her, she would happily show off her animal skull collection to them

as she got older, auden’s interests only got more freaky, but in the most impressive way

she spent a lot of time in the cemetery, making friends with the headstones while she dug around for new things to fill her space with

she did well enough in school, but had no interest in continuing her education after high school

this didn’t make her parents very happy, but they were always incredibly supportive of her, and so they sat back and let their daughter carve her own path

graduation saw auden immediately applying for a job at the cemetery, eager to spend time in her favorite place every single day

within days she was starting her position as a gravedigger, something that felt almost too fitting for her

she was also able to get her own apartment, happy to have a space of her own that she could decorate with her morbid little collections

her social life also grew with her independence; she began visiting dive bars and sketchy areas, but at least the people there didn’t think she was a total freak

auden has always been an incredibly talkative person; once you get her on a rant, it’s impossible to get her to shut up

she’s still very close to her family, but finds that living on her own helps her maintain a positive relationship with them

she is still very much a freak, but she finds it funny that she looks like the opposite of her personality
