History Characters / JustifiedAudreysBrothel

* SmallRoleBigImpact: He only appears in two episodes before being killed, but his death casts a shadow over Season 4. The storylines of Ellen May and Ava are the direct result of his death.

* GenreSavvy: Is smart enough to realize that Ava's supposed offer to return to work at Audrey's (Boyd's whorehouse) is a ruse for Colton to kill her. In general, she seems considerably more intelligent when not on drugs.

* ThisIsADrill: [[spoiler:Boyd threatens to use a power drill on Cush's teeth so that he'll reveal Ellen May's whereabouts.]]

* AscendedExtra: Her appearances were pretty sparse, usually acting as an informant or sounding board for other characters. Then in season 4 she's a major focus.

* BeneathTheMask: On the surface, she seems like a sweet, cheerful hooker. Beneath the surface, however, she's unhappy and wants to exit prostitution. In season 3, she asked to be Dickie's "queen" if he came into money. In season 4, she admits that she's melancholy and starts seeking solace in a new church.

* CannotKeepASecret: Played with. All the evidence indicates that she did not tell the St. Cyrs about [[spoiler:Ava's murder of Delroy]].

She loudly blurts out to Ava that she won't tell anyone about Delroy's murder ''in the middle of Audrey's''.]]

*** [[spoiler:Zig-zagged again. While in hiding under Shelby's protection, she says that she needs to "get right with the Lord" before she can reform her life. She also tells Cassie that she has been praying to God for solace, begging him to help her out of her dangerous situation. By the end of season 4, her Christian faith seems solid.]]
* HookerWithAHeartOfGold: She's a prostitute and a drug addict, but has a very solid moral compass despite this. Even though [[spoiler:Delroy was a psychopath who tried to kill her, Ellen May feels bad about his death and seeks redemption.]]
* LethallyStupid: She shot Arnold while high on drugs. To boot, during a packed night at Audrey's, she blurted out that Ava murdered Delroy, which could have put Ava in danger of arrest or retaliation if widely known.
** She also [[spoiler:contacts old friends from Last Chance Salvation Church, even though she's in hiding after Colt was sent to kill her. Cassie, not knowing the situation, asks around for her at Audrey's, leading Ava and Boyd to realize that Ellen May is still alive.]]

A pair of prostitutes often seen with Dewey Crowe.

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: [[spoiler:In "Weight", Raylan finds them packing up to leave Audrey's after Dewey's departure.]]
