Mute

Mute; refraining from speech or temporarily speechless

Audrey is 18 years old. She is considered mute. She does not talk and hasn't since she was five. The year she started school. Her mom and therapist think its school that did this to her. She was at first diagnosed with Selective Mutism, but it wasn't correct. She had social anxiety, but she did not have Selective Mutism because she talked no where. Not at school or home. It came to the point where she couldn't go to school. She was home schooled and classified as a weirdo to the people that knew who she was.

Audrey was beautiful though. Since she was little she had wild curly hair. It was a massive problem at the time, but as she grew up she grew to love it. Audrey has brown eyes. Her body is perfect for her and always has been. She doesn't ever want to change and she isn't insecure. Audrey just can't talk and she won't tell anyone why. Her mom has tried asking. Her best friend since five has tried asking and now her therapist is a little more worried, but he can't do anything.
