Who is Aislyn Houlihan, and how is she used against the other avatars in the novel, The City We Became?

Aislyn is the avatar of Staten Island. She is a young white woman, who has never questioned her white privilege and views anyone different from her as a threat. When the Woman in White seeks her out, Aislyn sees her as a friend because she is white, and she encourages Aislyn's belief that she is a victim. The Enemy, thus, uses Aislyn's racist predisposition to undermine the other avatars' defense.
