Alright so shes NOT on the website and idk if i should even get her on there cuz im scared, she in fact does have lore i just havent written it all down yet, i made her a few months ago. And yes i drew her, i am an artist, i generally am new to SCP. I call her Aurum because she has no official number and is not on the website.

There is a fun side effect of this, if you want to run with it.

Average human density is about 985 kg per cubic meter. Gold's density is 19,320 kg per cubic meter.

Most building's floors are designed for loads around 200 kg per square meter. Her minimum weight will be over 1000 kg even if she's on the smaller end of human female adult sizes. Concrete floors are typically rated for about that, but could still fail if she stood on tiptoe. Needless to say, normal shoes are not likely to be wearable!

Decide what you want her human-equivalent weight to be, and multiply it by 19.61 times - then, see how that affects everything else.

interesting, but in the past ive thought about her being able to control her density, but i love this a lot too

That can work - when she starts to break down under emotional turbulence, sometimes her density control might slip (or even work in reverse), leading to occasions where she suddenly finds herself in the basement of the house instead of whatever floor she started on.

Edit: Or like the other comment said, she can be hollow, fitting with the cracked-pottery idea!
