} I think I have Audrey somewhat figured out now.

} The one word I would use to describe her at the beginning is "bored."

Yup, that's the way I figure it, too. Furthermore, I think that Audrey is
probably more intelligent than anyone in Twin Peaks (maybe not Wile E.
Coyote, Super-Genius, but certainly one of the higher IQ's in the town)
and the reason for her boredom is that there are no intellectual
challenges for there. (I've known a few people like this -- extremely
intelligent, but straddling the edge between good and bad out of sheer
boredom).

} Her fascination with Cooper is just a fascination with something new
} and different.

Here, I think you're wrong. I think her attraction to Cooper is not just
physical, or just because she sees him as her ticket out of Dullsville,
or just because he's part of something new and different, but that she
sees in him a kindred spirit, a peer, someone on her intellectual level
(or above).

Her problem, like so many others, appears to come from her being in what
is basically a dysfunctional family.
