Audra Rusinas

Audra Rusinas is friends with Spencer Kassimir, the protagonist in the eleventh Goosebumps Series 2000 book, Attack of the Graveyard Ghouls.

History
Audra and her family live in a town called Highgrave where an old graveyard stands high on a hill that overlooks the whole town. She also heard that the people buried in the graveyard have become restless, angry ghouls who cannot sleep, so they rise up from their graves at night and look down at the houses below them. Audra had never gone up the hill at night, but she hardly took the legend seriously.

Later at school, her friend Spencer Kassimir read a report he wrote about the graveyard, which Audra thought was pretty good, while Frank Foreman made a mockery of it. Spencer couldn't quite finish in time, but their teacher, Mrs. Webster told Audra and her classmates that they would go on a hike to the graveyard to "summon the ghouls". Audra had also invited Spencer to a dance at a place where she takes dance lessons. However, unbeknownst to her, Spencer was not looking forward to going because he hated to dance.

Spencer knocked over a gravestone, which unleashed Oswald Manse and Martin Manse, two ghouls that had been dangerous killers when they were alive. Oswald took Spencer's body while Martin later took Audra's, and went on a rampage with it. Eventually, Spencer was able to defeat the ghouls by doing a dance, as you can defeat death by living and dancing is a good sign of being alive. However, when they tried to get their bodies, Audra ended up in Spencer's by accident, and he asked what they are supposed to do now.

Personality
Audra is smart, enthusiastic, and kind. She does not let her beauty get into her head. Unlike Spencer, Audra never took the legends regarding the graveyard seriously. However, this opinion changes when her body is possessed by Martin.

Spencer has a crush on Audra, but it is never established if Audra knows about Spencer's feelings towards her. It is possible that Audra likes Spencer because she always smiles at him and invited him to a dance,

Physical appearance
Audra is twelve years old, Caucasian, tall and pretty with long black hair, beautiful olive skin and green eyes flecked with gold.
