Avery
- Gender:
- Female
- Age:
- 23
- Orientation:
- Straight
A rather rough-and-tumble member of the "core group", as they're referred to. She plays no key significance to the story aside from being a parallel to Roark in her isolation. She has always been and felt like a third wheel, even though she has been deemed a best friend by Blake, Lex, and the others. Her intelligence and boyishness sets her apart from the men of the group and the girls, but suddenly it seems as though she and Matt may have a bit of an attraction.

The narrator of Rich Man. Her job is basically described as an aggressive peacemaker. She gets paid to dive into the lives of those who can afford her and gets one shot at solving relationship problems, tussles within families, etc. all by using psychological tactics to literally train people to behave as she needs them to. Her mind is abnormally complex and functions almost like a single computer with multiple monitors when at its peak of activity. This is mostly when she is assessing peoples' habits and behaviors based off of body language and the spoken word. Emotionally, she keeps expression to a minimal. Of course, that is until certain events that take place over the course of Rich Man. She is not so hard as she thinks she is. Read to find out more.
