Backstory: Auden was born to Victoria and Robert West, who were both twenty eight at the time. Her older brother Hollis, is two years older than her, though less mature (he's traveling Europe atm). Both Auden and Hollis were named (by their father) after famous authors, Auden's namesake being W.H. Auden. Auden's little sister Thisbe was also named by their father after a character in an ill-fated story that is a part of Ovid's Metamorphoses.

Auden didn't have the experience of being a kid like her brother, Hollis. Her parent's hardly paid any attention to her because they were busy looking after Hollis. Auden's parents were very expectant. Her mother, Victoria, is the head of the English Department at a University while her dad was the head of the creative writing department at the University, now is an author. So it was expected that Auden would be very smart and do well in school. That's most likely why she focused so much on school instead of making friends.

By age four, Auden was listening to grown up conversations about literature, and her mother's students were even allowed to swear in front of her, as Auden's parents thought she was mature enough to hear that sort of language. She would always get good grades. Most specifically: A's. When her mom saw that she got lower than an "A", she transferred Auden to a different private school.

Her insomnia started when she was young, and her parents started to fight more often. She knew that her parents wouldn't fight if she was awake, so she would stay up all night to prevent them from arguing. Though that only lasted for so long before Auden's parents decided to argue even though Auden was awake. Eventually Auden's dad moved out, and eventually met and married Heidi (Auden's stepmom). Shortly after that, Heidi found out she was pregnant, and around the day of Auden's high school graduation, her half-sister was born.

Auden did have a prom date, Jason, but got stood up on prom night because he had a girlfriend, Macy. Auden graduated at age 17 from a private high school from Perkins Day.

In the summer before she heads off to college, she decided to take up her dad's offer on spending the summer in Colby where her dad and his new family live.
