**Avery Belle** is a transplant working as a waiter at their aunt's diner and one of the five main romance options.

## Description

Avery is tall and slim, often wearing plant-print dress shirts tucked into grey pants. Occasionally they wear a tan suede fur-collared trench coat over their usual outfit. They have an afro, slight scruff on the sides of their face, and wear a dolphin bite lip piercing. Their dress shirt is slightly unbuttoned at the collar, revealing a bit of chest hair.

Though only having stayed in Scarlet Hollow for three years, they still feel like they just got here. Their personality is chill, friendly, and notably rather somewhat unfazed by some of the traumatic happenings of Scarlet Hollow. They like to view issues from different angles rather than completely settling on one side.

## Biography

Before moving to Scarlet Hollow, Avery had "issues" with their family about their education. After their aunt Winnie heard about their situation, she offered Avery a job and place to stay. Though Winnie was welcoming to them, many others were not at first. Though they have managed to make friends since, they still feel a little lonely.

After their house filled up with plants, they diverted their energy into creating a public garden in the vacant lot next to the diner. They planted most of the plants in the garden, mostly native plants but a few of their favorites such as hydrangeas and begonias, as well as a bed of edible plants. Julius began constructing benches and frames for the garden whenever he heard Avery mention they needed something for the garden to Winnie. Since then, they have been developing a friendship.

Avery's passion for plants began with a pothos plant, thinking it would make their apartment feel less lonely. Eventually they got a few more and joined a few online plant communities, snowballing into the jungle of plants they own now. The plants became a way for them to connect with people, knowing that there was someone thinking of them even if it was to just swap cuttings.

Though Avery will stick around Scarlet Hollow for a while, they don't think they'll stay at the diner for the rest of their life. However, they're still figuring out where they'd like to move to eventually. Avery wants to do music for the rest of their life, whether or not it becomes profitable. Every month Avery joins a song circle with the musicians in town, playing bass. Julius is also there playing banjo, and the rest of the musicians seem genuinely happy to see them there.

## Trivia

* Avery plays bass guitar and owns three synths. They post their music to soundcloud.
* Avery voted for Daisy in the last Mayoral election.
* Avery has never visited the Church until Chapter 4, if they tag along the search for Stella and visit the Church.
* Avery underwent a major redesign. They were originally much more shy and much less confident, and Black Tabby Games was having a hard time doing the character justice. Avery’s in-game iteration is much closer to Tony's personal expression of gender identity, and therefore much easier to write.

* Avery is the only main romanceable that you cant lock in during Episode 4 they will likely be able to be locked in during Episode 5
