I, Avis Wain.
Of course, not that Wayne.
The spelling is different.
They're W-A-Y-N-E, while I'm W-A-I-N.
Two different Ws, like the difference between an owl and a robin: they both look like birds, but one keeps you awake in the middle of the night, while the other just wakes you up in the morning.
My full name is Avis Eleanor Wain.
Avis means "bird" in Latin, and I've loved birds since I was little.
Pretty fated, right?
But honestly, it's a bit like putting a tuxedo on a penguin.
It fits, sure, but don't take it too seriously.
I'm sixteen, a senior at Gotham University, majoring in business administration.
Like plenty of protagonists, I have the trendy young genius character setting.
It's a little too trendy.
I'm currently an administrative intern in the executive office at Wayne Enterprises.
That means my daily work is to sort files, coordinate schedules, and stay alive.
(Wait, did something weird sneak in there?)
Oh, I'm also a British Chinese girl living in the United States.
A capitalist heiress? Yeah, kind of.
My family does own a bit of property, but don't expect me to give you a discount.
Why business administration? Because I like observing things.
I watched birds as a kid, and now I watch people.
Businesses and flocks of birds are actually pretty similar.
They both have hierarchies and ways of communicating, and occasionally squabble over territory.
The difference is, people use Excel spreadsheets, while birds just flap their wings.
After interning at Wayne Enterprises for a month, I've discovered something: the executive office has even more unpredictable paperwork than Gotham's weather, and Bruce Wayne shows up at the office less often than I see a raven nesting downtown.
His schedule really is like a bat's.
Oh, I don't mean he's Batman.
Premise: A girl who loves little animals is bound to have good luck.
