Editing Avery Kelly (section)

===Arc 1 - Lost for Words===
Avery and her friends were brought into the world of the practice in order to investigate the mysterious death of the [[Carmine Beast]]. Her Personal Item was an unfinished doll she had knitted for her younger brother.

After participating in the awakening ritual with [[Verona Hayward|Verona]] and [[Lucy Ellingson|Lucy]], she went on a road trip with them, as well as [[Matthew Moss]], [[Edith James]], and Charles in order to visit the home of the [[Carmine Beast]]. 

After the trip, Avery returned home, and had to deal with her extremely crowded and uncomfortable family situation. She pulls on a connection between herself and her mask after her brother takes it in order to retrieve it, then draws a symbol on her table to make herself unnoticed by her family. She leaves the house to meet with [[Lucy Ellingson|Lucy ]]and [[Verona Hayward|Verona]]. The trio are approached by [[Sir Toadswallow]] and [[Cherrypop]], who offer to teach them how to make curses count.

As part of their duties to Kennet the trio interview the Kennet Others about the murder and in turn recieve gifts from each, with one exception. The [[Hungry Choir]] evades communication and attempts to trick Avery into entry. During the next ritual the girls interfere, and Avery steps up to rescue some of the contestants from the Waifs.

Kennet comes under scrutiny from outside Practioners. The trio use Nettlewisp to blind the Augers of the Blue Heron Institute.

Avery prepares to run the Forest Ribbon Trail, having recieved instruction from Miss. Entering the Path involves wrapping Avery and an animal in ribbons - cat Verona is able to find a baby opossum. Avery enters the trail and finds the opossum has become a young girl. She names her Snowdrop.

Snowdrop struggles to guide Avery through the Path. Avery realizes Snowdrop's rule of discourse and grows some confidence. Her meeting with the Wolf is interupted when Nicolette Belanger interferes in revenge for the Nettlewisp. Avery is trapped on the Path alone with the Wolf. Miss is able to stave off the Wolf, and the Kennet Others negotiate with the Belangers to free Avery and enroll the trio into the Blue Heron Institute.

The trio study at the Blue Heron, but make enemies with some of the students and faculty.

The trio briefly return to Kennet to protect it from Lawrence Bristow's Aware.

Avery is pulled into brewing conflict at the Blue Heron between the two headmasters. Her kindness to [[Clementine Robertjon|Clem]] proves to be Bristow's downfall.

Returning from the [[Blue Heron Institute|Blue Heron]], Avery's parents announce that her mom will be moving to Thunder Bay for work. Avery stays in Kennet with her dad, Grumble, and younger siblings. Her home life wears on her after her Dad lets Declan's misogyny fester. She decides to move to Thunder Bay but keeps it secret from Lucy and Verona.

The trio solves the murder and confront the conspirators, but are unable to prevent Charles Abrams from killing John and claiming the Carmine seat. In the immediate aftermath, Avery confesses that she's leaving.
