* DarkAndTroubledPast: Describes Auri's.\

* DarkAndTroubledPast: Describes Auri's.
* DoesNotLikeShoes: Auri spends the entire novel barefoot.

* SuperOCD: Auri. Things have to be in exactly the right spot, and she has specific rituals she follows. This is most obvious in her description of her routines, and in the candle-making scene. Her OCD traits aren't the only thing she's got going on in her head, however.

* AmbiguousDisorder: Auri clearly has some sort of mental illness. Her obsession with doing seemingly illogical tasks in a specific way that only makes sense to herself seems to be loosely based on Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, and she is also highly delusional.

* RapunzelHair: Auri's hair is frequently mentioned. It's very long, voluminous, and untamed, like a silver cloud around her.

A companion novella to ''Literature/TheKingkillerChronicle'' by Creator/PatrickRothfuss, ''The Slow Regard of Silent Things'' follows a week in the life of the mysterious Auri, who lives in a network of abandoned rooms underneath [[WizardingSchool The University]] and is eagerly awaiting a very special visitor.

* SettingAsACharacter: Part of Auri's unique point of view is treating everything in the Underthing is a character, from the rooms to an old belt buckle.

* MysteriousWaif: The novel doesn't clear a whole lot up about Auri's past. It delves into her present... but doesn't really clear things up there, either. Everything is presented from Auri's perspective, and she gives us as much explanation as she feels like giving to herself. How much explanation do you give yourself for the things you do?

* BrokenBird: Auri is implied to have been raped, and that's not even her biggest problem.

* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: It's established in ''Literature/TheKingkillerChronicle'' that people who practice [[IKnowYourTrueName Naming]] tend to go mad from getting a more vividly detailed view of reality than a mortal mind can handle. Whether Auri's behavioural quirks are a sign of preternatural insight into the true nature of the world or just the delusions of an insane BrokenBird is left as an exercise to the reader. [[spoiler:As is whether she [[RealityWarper warps reality]] to finish making Kvothe's gift at the end.]]
